Now

Dedicated in the church by my Pappy's hands Sat up straight, said the prayers 'Cause my daddy said to J birthmark on my forehead Momma said that it meant I would be led To be someone set a part in this world For You But I wanted to see Who I would be, without You Like a genie in a bottle Only calling when I'd struggle Cause it was all I knew to do But I'm glad that I know You now Like I never knew before Oh I'm glad that I see You now Lifted the veil and now I'm sure It was true what they talked about You're faithful then, and forever more Oh I'm glad, I know You now Like I didn't before Singing with the band by the age of 12 Stage fright but I tried cause they said I did well Tellin me my purpose like they knew me Said God was shining bright right through me Must've been a lie, put Him aside, everything fell So I tried to break free From the pain they didn't see Without You Got baptized in the water But questioned if I was Your Daughter I didn't know about the love You Had for me But I'm glad that I know You now Like I never knew before Oh I'm glad that I see You now Lifted the veil and now I'm sure It was true what they talked about You're faithful then, and forever more Oh I'm glad, I know You now Like I didn't before Faithful through the generations When they prayed for me You listened You followed me, I heard You calling me Faithful to my grandma Faithful to my momma Now You're faithful to me You heard my cries at 17 When I tried to tuck away the grief It was eating me They didn't see it in me So I tried to run away from You But you chased me down Cause You weren't through With what You started in me Now I see But I'm glad that I know You now Like I never knew before Oh I'm glad that I see You now Lifted the veil and now I'm sure It was true what they talked about You're faithful then, and forever more Oh I'm glad, I know You now Like I didn't before
