[Intro]
Through my eyes
Once you see it through my eyes (IVF)
Hold on, wanna see what You see
I spent my whole life lookin' through a faulty lens
I spent my whole life pretendin' to be somethin' I wasn't
I thought that there was no way they could possibly love me if they knew who I really was
If they knew my for the fake that I really was
Then I met this unconditional love that chose to love me right where I was at
No matter what I'd done
You see, that's the kind of love that breaks the bondage
That's the kind of love that makes the chains fall off
Now I'm the realest I've every been, in Jesus' Name
[Verse 1]
You a providential God, my Jehovah-Jaireh
Wanna thank You for the lessons 'cause they helped me grow up (Yeah)
I was such a hopeless boy who thought he'd never know love
Now look at all these blessings overflow from my cup
Yeah, You brought me out of solitary, put me in community
Put people in my life that been supportin' to me truthfully
Edify me, Lord, through Your Word You speak so beautifully
'Til they lay my head up on the guillotine, Father, it's You I seek (It's You I seek)
I look worn, 'cause my faith, it was lukewarm
I bowed in full surrender, came back in a new form
Speak life into my brother 'stead of hangin' the noose for him
Did away wit' all them fools who only liked what I'd do for 'em
I was goin' mental, beatin' on my chest like Tarzan
You met me in my mess, You pulled me out wit' Your two scarred hands
Reached in, pulled that stone up out my chest and put my heart back
Lord, lift me off the Tarmac, wanna meet you where the stars at (Where the stars at)
[Chorus]
I'll never understand why You chose to use me
Spent hours on the verse, I ripped that page up out my loose sleeve (Up out my loose sleeve)
When I'm discouraged, yeah, You catch me 'fore I'm too deep
Call me out upon the water, walk wit' You across the blue sea (Across the blue sea)
I'll never understand why You chose to use me
Spent hours on the verse, I ripped that page up out my loose sleeve (Up out my loose sleeve)
When I'm discouraged, yeah, You catch me 'fore I'm too deep
Call me out upon the water, walk wit' You across the blue sea (Across the blue sea)
[Verse 2]
Sparks fly, I'm on the ground for You, yeah
In and of myself, there's nothin' I can do (Nothin' I can do)
When they look at me, I hope they see the light of You
Increase Yourself within me, Lord, there ain't no I in You (This offerin')
I remember all the torrent, tears pourin' down my face
I couldn't shake the dope, heart pourin' out the hate
I couldn't find the hope, it was more than I could take
But when they see me know, it truly glorify Your grace (Glorify Your grace)
Father God, today I need You to renew my strength (I need You, God)
My bones are tired from so many years submerged in pain
My shoulders slump from this sinful world and all its weight
You're so alive and well, how they think that all this fake?
They think this walk is all smiles? Ha, barely, bruh
You wouldn't believe some of the crosses that we carry, bruh (Real talk)
The passer-by dead or he stops to scoff and stare at us
Half a mile up in our shoes, yeah, that just might bury ya (Might bury ya)
[Chorus]
I'll never understand why You chose to use me
Spent hours on the verse, I ripped that page up out my loose sleeve (Up out my loose sleeve)
When I'm discouraged, yeah, You catch me 'fore I'm too deep
Call me out upon the water, walk wit' You across the blue sea (Across the blue sea)
I'll never understand why You chose to use me
Spent hours on the verse, I ripped that page up out my loose sleeve (Up out my loose sleeve)
When I'm discouraged, yeah, You catch me 'fore I'm too deep
Call me out upon the water, walk wit' You across the blue sea (Across the blue sea)
[Outro]
Through my eyes
Once you see it through my eyes
