Jamie Gray PoetByDesign - Didn't Have To Lyrics

He hears my mourning before it's morning
Even before it's Dawn and
He hears me
And He knows it's me
And He answers; before I put the call in
Just recently
A new day of faith; it awakened me
Now It's shaking me
And it's pushing me to go forward see
So, I won't go back to that place that I was
Previously
No not me
You opened my eyes to see
Now I can't close them
I can't get un-exposed
To what I've been exposed to
Now, I'm seeing things so differently
And I know it's You
Yea Lord
I know it's You
Cuz Lord You are my Way
And Lord You are my Truth
And me chasing lies
Means me straying from You
And I know You got what I need Lord
So I know that won't do
Yeah
You got what I need Lord
So no, that won't do
Cuz nothing else really holds me
Nothing else truly consoles me
Nothing else can take these broken pieces
And complete, and make a whole me
See everything that I have
It's cuz of You, that I have it
And Lord, if You're not pleased
If You blink
It all vanishes
So, Lord, I am working
Cuz I know that I'm not perfect
That's why the love that You're giving me
I know I don't deserve it
And all the pain that You brought me through
Oh yes, Lord, it hurt-ed, but every single bit of it
I can truly say it was worth it
You're just shaping me into my purpose
Adding water to my dry surface
Heating me up in the furnace
I am the clay In The Potter's Hand
And Your design it will be perfect
Yeah
Yeah
I am the clay In The Potter's Hand
And Your design, it will be perfect
Lord, You never make mistakes
That's what my Granny said
And she lived by those words
Even on the day; of her dying bed
So, I'ma share this gift that You've given me
Even if it means me making enemies
Lord, I trust In Your Vision
Tho, I can't see Your plan; so clearly
So anything that You want from me
I'ma give it
And this life that You've placed in me
I'ma live it
So, of course, You deserve more
For all, You have endured
And if I live to serve You a million years
Still, can't pay for what You've earned
Lord, You cried for me, then You died for me
So You wouldn't have to say goodbye to me
In 3 days You got up out that grave
So I could live eternally
So Lord, For all You do I clap my hands
Cuz I applaud You
And me raising my hands
And doing my dance
Is my way of showing You gratitude
Lord, You forgave
You freed me from my chains
You Pardoned my death sentence
And gave me life instead
Allowed my charges to be placed You
You Didn't Have To
You carried away all my cares Too
You Didn't Have To
All the filth I once portrayed
You washed it all away
Then promised me You're never leaving me
Said You are here to stay
Your Spirit touched my spirit
To the depths of my soul, I felt it
My old mind, my old ways, my old heart just melted
Before The Foundation
You Planned For my Salvation
Lord, You offered me Paradise
That's A Lifetime Vacation
Lord, You changed my life
Then gave me one that's new
A whole brand new me
And now my life is living proof
You Loved me
You Didn't Have To
You embraced me
You Didn't Have To
You accepted me then You gave me You
That's a miracle
You Didn't Have To
You Looked for me
You Didn't Have To
You Reached out for me
You Didn't Have To
You defended me, You befriended me
And Lord I Know You Didn't Have To
You Stood up for me
You Didn't Have To
You Took licks for me
You Didn't Have To
Lord, You Gave me Mercy And Grace too
And JESUS
You Didn't Have To
Naw
You Didn't Have To
You Didn't Have To
