Lyrics

⸻

[Intro – soft keys or acoustic loop, mellow tone]
I remember them nights
No peace, no light
But look at me now…

(Mmm… yeah)
You don’t know what I’ve been through
But God does…
And He brought me through…

⸻

[Verse 1 – slow, spoken rap with emotion]
Used to cry myself to sleep, hid the pain real deep
Played strong on the outside, inside felt weak
No father, no faith, just fightin’ to breathe
I was numb, chasin’ highs, tryna make believe

But He saw what I buried, heard what I hid
Reached down in my shame and called me His kid
Didn’t fix me in a moment — nah, it took time
But grace hit different when it meets you in the grime

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – light choir vocal hums begin, keys build]
I should’ve broke, I should’ve lost
But mercy found me at the cost
So when you see me now, don’t trip
It’s Jesus — He did all of this

⸻

[Chorus – choir bursts in, full harmony]
Look at me now — I’m not who I was
Covered in grace, held by His love
Out of the fire, out of the flood
Only made it ’cause He lifted me up

So I raise my hands, lift my sound
I was lost, but now I’m found
Ain’t no pride, it’s all His crown
You wonder how? Just look at me now

(Look at me now, look at me now…)
It’s only Jesus… only Jesus…

⸻

[Verse 2 – mid-tempo rap with beat kick-in]
They don’t see the nights I was cryin’ in my car
Just me and the silence and the ceiling of stars
They don’t see the pills or the bottle I tossed
They just see the praise — but not what it cost

But He was there in the mess, in the mud
In the broke-down days when I ran from love
Now my story’s a weapon, my scars got shine
What the enemy used — God redefined

⸻

[Bridge – choir call & response + live energy]
I made it through! (I made it through!)
It was all You! (It was all You!)
They see the light — (But they don’t know)
What it took for this soul to grow

I fell down! (But I got up!)
He called my name! (He filled my cup!)
So I sing loud — I don’t hold back
‘Cause I know who had my back!

⸻

[Final Chorus – huge energy, full choir + rap ad-libs]
Look at me now — I’m not who I was
Covered in grace, held by His love
Out of the fire, out of the flood
Only made it ’cause He lifted me up

So I raise my hands, lift my sound
I was lost, but now I’m found
Ain’t no pride, it’s all His crown
You wonder how? Just look at me now

(Look at me now, look at me now…)
It’s only Jesus… only Jesus…

⸻

[Outro – piano + soft choir fade]
I was down, now I rise
Not by strength, only Christ
Let the whole world see
What He did in me…
