who was i before Jesus? Lyrics

Who was I before Jesus

A fake believer

A clout seeker, a false preacher, a bad teacher

A nice smile, a handshake, and a "nice to meet ya"

But a heretic, and sharing it, but who was I before Jesus

A bad rep; a bad leader, was taking some bad steps

A hypocritical bigot with bad breath, spitting verse after verse,

I was constantly sidetracked before Jesus

I was a backstabber

A bad friend, disrespected and then I'd laugh after–flexing on my loyalty, showing it on a gold platter, Jesus came and rained down, ain't nothing 'bout me gold after

Bad friend, bad rep, good fake believer

Good lies, good crime, real real deceitful

Bad kid, good God made me a believer

Look, how good? God made me a believer

Bad friend, bad rep, good fake believer

Good lies, good crime, real real deceitful

Bad kid, good God made me a believer

Look, how good God

Who was I before Jesus

I was addicted, was running to pornography while disrespecting women

We're all God's children, but I didn't know my limits and I thought that I could keep it bottled up

Man, who was I before Jesus

I was ashamed; I thought I would be happy if everyone knew my name

I would represent the world but would do it in Jesus' name,

because I wanted non believers to believe that we the same but I was

Misguiding, bad timing, not a man of God

Real calling, wrong number, really bad response

Born sinner, good Father, by the Grace of God

I was a slave no longer chained, He saw that all my shame was gone

Before Jesus… Man, who was I

Defendant playing Judge, I had a plank inside my eye

Pretending who I was so I could resonate with God, I had a God complex,

I thought that I defied the odds

But there is one ruler, one rumor, Jesus fled the grave

All sinners, turned winners, all in Jesus name

All children, need guidance, Jesus Christ will save

Just say that in the Holy Spirit, you give up the highest praise

One ruler, one rumor, Jesus fled the grave

All sinners, turned winners, all in Jesus name

All children, need guidance, Jesus Christ will save

Just say that in the Holy Spirit, you give up the highest praise

Man, who was I before Jesus

Man, who was I before Jesus
