Kirk Franklin - Look At Me Now lyrics

Persecuted, criticized
Been denied and abandoned
Pushed away, given away
Some days I couldn't imagine
Getting harder, getting colder
Was hard for me to see
Tired of runnin', tired of hurtin'
Even got tired of me tired of cryin'
Tired of tryin' to forget my mistakes
Tired of bein' in this storm
How much more can I take
Many nights in my life, tell me why
I shed more tears, my eyes would allow
And after all that

Look at me now!
I'm stronger this time around!
Not because I was so good, but somehow
You looked past where I was
And you knew I'd come through
Cause You loved me look at me know!
So many didn't make it through
That's why this heart belongs to only You!
How can I complain 'bout the
Pain I went through cause it grew me
Look at me now! Had no hope, had no future
Even too hard to dream no one told me, "boy
You can be whatever you want to be"
Then You saved me and You gave
Me reason to breathe again
Not perfect, ya'll
But I'm gon' run 'til I make it to the end
(It ain't easy when your life's filled
With wounds that won't heal)
And you fight through the lies trying
To find what's for real
Everyone wants the prize but they
Can't stand the pain
The strength I needed it came that
Night I cried out Your name
To my people in the struggle
All my soldiers and believers
To my survivors of Rita
Katrina and even FEMA
(All things are working together
For our good)

Look at me now!
I'm stronger this time around!
Not because I was so good, but somehow
You looked past where I was
And you knew I'd come through
Cause You loved me look at me know!
So many didn't make it through
That's why this heart belongs to only You!
How can I complain 'bout the
Pain I went through cause it grew me
Look at me now!

Yes, I've seen some hard times
Some bad choices that I've made
Fell back on me
But now it's time to move on, move on
Can't let my past hold down my destiny
And even though I don't always know
Why you allow the night to last so long
But when I see the sunlight
It was only to make me strong

Look at me look at me
Look at me look at me, look at me

I'm better now! I'm closer now!
I'm thankful now! I'm happy now!
Look at me! Look at me!
I'm stronger now! I'm patient now!
I'm grateful now! I'll praise you now!
Look at me! Look at me!
