Story behind the song
My testimony. I wrote this song to Jesus in 2001. It's the only song I wrote in the first two years after I got saved. This is my first love letter to Christ. Many people don't know what love is. Many say they love you, but do they love you like Jesus does? Check out my answer to that. I hope it blesses you.
Lyrics
(Verse 1) Lord you know it just get hard sometimes. I can remember prayin’ hard that I wouldn’t die sometimes. Wondering where was God sometimes. When what I really should’ve wondered to myself is where was I sometimes. Let myself down and gave up on dreams I had. Hangin’ around on corners sellin’ fiends some bags. When I left town and joined the marines you said, “If I just believe in you -you would redeem my past. And Lord knows, it aint no pun intended, but I’ve done a lot of bad for the fun that’s in it. I was young and timid, and I just couldn’t quite understand how a boy could mature and grow into a man. I led a double life. I know it aint right but on the street I had to gain credibility. Labeled as a playa by many, that wasn’t really me. I know you feelin’ me. You can discern the intent of my heart. See I used to think I was smart, but book knowledge combined with street knowledge couldn’t get me this far. This is the message you were tryin’ to teach me, knowin’ that it would reach me one day when I stopped runnin’ away and made up my mind that I was on your side to stay. But back then I just had to have my way. Turned my back on you that was a tragic day. (chorus) You’ve been better to me than I been to myself. Been by my side through good and bad sickness and health. You never left me alone, your presence comes straight from above. I did you wrong but you were there for me. Now that’s love! (vocals) Lord I love you. Place no one else above you. My life used to be crazy, but your love it truly saved me. (Verse 2) I remember how it felt when I had the chance to reach all my dreams and become a man. Had a contract to model in a foreign land. But the day before I left there was a change of plans. It’s like the idea of fame had my mind in a trans, to the point where I took the glory out of your hands. But without you there’s no way I could’ve advanced. So I never did make it on that plane to France. That day was like a nightmare that came to life. I was thinkin’ to myself I would be maimed for life. Right then is when I really should’ve came to Christ. But not yet see I hadn’t paid the price. Laid the dice, maybe he was holdin’ a grudge. Crapped out cause this dude came startin’ to bug. You could see the pain all in my mug. And I never will forget how it felt when I caught that slug. Why would any man claim he’s a thug? I had to put away childish things and begin to grow up. Used to think I would never slow up. I used to drink I was getting’ tow up. Musically would I ever blow up? Hold up. Even though I tried to do things at my own pace, you still let me stay covered with your love and grace. You never took it away. That’s the reason why I’m here today. (chorus) You’ve been better to me than I been to myself. Been by my side through good and bad sickness and health. You never left me alone, your presence comes straight from above. I did you wrong but you were there for me. Now that’s love! (vocals) Lord I love you. Place no one else above you. My life used to be crazy, but your love it truly saved me. That’s Love!
