From the very first moment I took breath
Umbilical cord wrapped around my neck. It tried to strangle me out
Before my first step was my first tangle with death. Appreciate time before there was none left
At an early age we had to move away from Portland because my parents were snorting and
They were slaves to that cocaine. Alcoholics plus Mary Jane was an everyday occurrence
There both clean now and I see God in that.
I know you love me. I know you love me.
I can just tell that
You love me. I know you love me. I know you love me. I can just tell that
You love me
This whole song goes out to my brother who's in the state pen
And my cousin. I know my father has a heart for them. I shoulda snitched but
Every time you showed me what you showed me, I never opened up my mouth for nobody
God has a heart for our families. He will restore it person by person.
Healing from the hurting that took place.
Like when Mom put a 9mm to her own face.
But she didn't pull that trigger. No she didn't pull that trigger.
And I can see Christ in the way things have played out
He's not finished yet. His will for our lives is much bigger and
I know you love me. I know you love me.
I can just tell that
You love me. I know you love me. I know you love me. I can just tell yeah
You love me
By age 12 when I took my first puff of weed. I bullied kids plus I'd lost my virginity
To 13 breaking into houses and cars. Braces on my teeth. Avoiding broken window shards
To the very first time I opened up the Bible even though I had always been opposed to God.
And the Word of Christ sank in like a tank in quicksand. A new started developing, Turning me into a new man.
You had always been there and finally this I'm able to see.
I was completely broken
Yet in Your grace You began restoring me.
I know you love me. I know you love me.
I can just tell that
You love me. I know you love me. I know you love me. I can just tell that
You love me
