Artist: Kirk Franklin

Title: Look At Me Now
_______________________________________________
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 running, tired of hurting
Even got tired of me
Tired of crying, tired of trying
To forget my mistakes
Tired of being in the storm how much more can I take
Many nights in my life
Tell me why I shed more
Tears my eyes would allow
CHORUS
Look at me now
I'm stronger this around
Not because I was so good, but somehow
You looked past where I was
Cause you loved me
Look at me now
So many didn't make it through
That's why this heart belongs to only You
How can I complain bout the pain I been through
Cause it grew me
Look at me now
Had no hope, had no future
Even to hard to dream
No one told me boy you can do whatever you want to be
Then you saved me and you gave me a reason to breath again
Not perfect, ya'll, but I'm gon' run til I make it to the end
It ain't easy when you're life's filled with wounds that won't heal
And you fight through the lies
Trying to find what's for real
Every one wants the prize, but they can't stand the pain
The strength I needed it came
The 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)
CHORUS
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 now!
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 allowed the nights to last so long
But when I see the sunlight
It was only make me strong
Shoo doo doo doo dooo
Look at me (4x)
CHORUS
I'm better now, I'm closer now
I'm grateful 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, (look at me now)
I'm better now, I'm closer now
I'm grateful 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,
Shooo doo doo doo doo
