He Called Me

Look at my life, look at my story
And all of the lives that Jesus Christ saved before me
Look at us, look
I was covered in sin, covered in filth
And still he called me
Look at my life, look at my story
And all of the lives that Jesus Christ saved before me
Look at us, look
I was covered in sin, covered in filth
And still he called me

I remember those late nights, just lying in my bed
I couldn't go sleep
I was too busy counting my problems
I didn't care about counting sheep
I couldn't hear them times when Joe try tell me
You've gotta get closer to God
In one ear and out of the other
I was too busy tryna get that gwop
On one hand I was praying for miracles
The other hand was deep in sin
I was fighting a daily battle
It was good against evil within
Tryna do right, don't wanna do wrong
I was tryna live right but it all seemed long
But still somehow in my darkest days God kept me strong
Everything we do in this life is followed by consequences
We love waiting till it gets too late
Before we think of the consequences
How many times do we do what we do
Then we run back crying to Jesus
Call on his name when we're lost in action
Pray that he guides and leads us
He already fought for us up on the cross
That's where he died and freed us
Imagine carrying the weight of the world
All up on your shoulders
The Lord always kept us covered and safe
When the enemy tried to fold us
Our father above really knows us
Even through the sin he chose us

Look at my life, look at my story
And all of the lives that Jesus Christ saved before me
Look at us, look
I was covered in sin, covered in filth
And still he called me
Look at my life, look at my story
And all of the lives that Jesus Christ saved before me
Look at us, look
I was covered in sin, covered in filth
And still he called me

Lord I bow before you I've gotta give you praise
I'm gonna honour your name
Gonna let the whole world know you reign
Gotta let the whole world know
You're the only one that can save us
You're the only one that in times of adversity
You keep us courageous
Sitting here thinking about all of the times
You kept me floating
And if they try tell me that you don't exist
I tell them they must be joking
Cause any time that they told me a door was closed
I prayed and you called it open
Thinking back to the desperate times
How you kept me coping
Patience, clarity, more understanding
Now I step with the power of the Lord
Any where that I fly any where I'm landing
Yeah, and my friends keep asking
What really happened that changed your life
And I point to the sky like ask him
All praise to the almighty
Now I rush into church like I'm late for classes
Everyday I read through scriptures
Now I stand where the greenest grass is
Keep my eyes firmly on the Lord
Like I always say I give thanks and praise
For the joy that fills my days
Thank Jesus that I changed my ways

Look at my life, look at my story
And all of the lives that Jesus Christ saved before me
Look at us, look
I was covered in sin, covered in filth
And still he called me
Look at my life, look at my story
And all of the lives that Jesus Christ saved before me
Look at us, look
I was covered in sin, covered in filth
And still he called me
