Formerly Known |
Everybody wanna be heard, everybody wanna be seen |
Everybody wanna be known, and everybody got some dreams |
We wanna be understood, not overlooked |
And when we fall who gon' carry us underwood? |
We need love and affection, time and attention |
Affirmation, acceptance, someone to give direction |
Set apart from the rest and we wanna stand distinguished |
And be the cool kid like you’re Chuck Inglish |
Been on a quest for this ever since Genesis |
But settling for fools gold instead of what the treasure is |
Chasing after numbers yo, this must have been our exodus |
We don’t want no Jesus 'less He’s chillin' on our necklaces |
Formerly known, way before the moment I was born |
I’m not an accident or a clone, yeah |
The one that made me gave me purpose |
Now I don’t gotta go on searching |
Formerly known, way before the moment I was born |
I’m not an accident all alone, yeah |
The One that made me, gave me purpose |
Now I don’t gotta go on searching |
Formerly known |
What you lookin' at now, not what I always been |
I ain’t braggin' on my past, but buddy I was trapped in sin |
No power in myself to overcome my flesh |
I bought clothes to get undressed, but God revealed my nakedness |
A hostile enemy, speech was all venomy |
Jesus was a nice guy, but wasn’t no friend of me |
My lips said I loved Him, my actions despised His reign |
I had my own agenda, I was my own king |
Then He came, I was changed by grace through faith |
Every dollar that I owed it was paid, paid, paid, paid |
Sin bill was something I couldn’t pick up |
Now I got my hands raised high like a stick up |
He know me even better than I know myself |
Every hair on my head, every need I felt |
So before I’m gone, gotta get to know Him |
C-Lite no more but the light still on |
Before I’m gone, gotta get to know Him |
C-Lite no more but the light still on |
On, on, on |
Before I’m gone |
On, on |
C-Lite no more but the light still on |
