Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Some people have seen where God has brought you from

They really don't understand it

They don't know your story.


You don't know my story

You don't know the things that I've come through

You cannot imagine

The pain the trials I've had to endure


You don't know my story

You don't know the day He set me free

You cannot imagine

The strongholds and the walls that severed me


In all God has been faithful to me

He promised He would never leave me

My story proves that God can use me

Deliverance is my testimony

You don't know -- my story!

You don't know -- my story.


You don't know my story

The anguish and the guilt that consume me

Grateful I can tell it

For no more shall the shackles condemn me


You don't know my story

For if you did you would lift up your hands

So just let me tell you

By faith you may as well break out and dance.


In all God has been faithful to me

He promised He would never leave me

My story proves that God can use me

Deliverance is my testimony


You don't know -- my story!

You don't know -- my story.


Through my testimony that the blood of the lamb ?

Delivered again

Now I have a testimony;

Favor's upon me


Grace and Mercy, Love and Peace

Abound

All in you I've found

A lord that will not ever leave me

(He wont forsake me.)


You don't know my story --


I'm delivered, here's my story

Life and Favor upon me He brought me out

You don't know it, let me tell it

Life and favor upon me He brought me out


God of Mercy He who loves me

Life and favor upon me He brought me out

Oh how wondrous is my story

Life and favor He brought me out


Can't imagine what I've gone through

Life and favor upon me He brought me out

Can't imagine what I've gone through

Can't imagine.


I'm delivered, here's my story

Life and favor upon me He brought me out

You don't know it, let me tell it

Life and favor upon me He brought me out


God of mercy He who loves me

Life and favor upon me He brought me out

Oh how wondrous is my story

Life and favor upon me He brought me out


Can't imagine what I've gone through

Life and favor upon me He brought me out

I'm delivered, here's my story

Life and favor upon me He brought me out


(Can't imagine)


Can't imagine what I've gone through

Life and favor upon me He brought me out

God of mercy, He who loves me

Life and favor upon me He brought me out


Oh how wondrous is my story

Life and favor upon me He brought me out

Can't imagine what I've gone through

Life and favor upon me He brought me out


(Heyyyyy, hey, hey, hey)


Life and favor upon me ?
