Just For Me

By Kirk Franklin

Lyrics

Verse 1: 

Just for me, many doors you’ve closed

Just for me, sometimes you will say no

So I’ll be, tested in your fire, to purify my desires

So my blessings won’t be


Just for me, so caught up in myself, I couldn’t see

The world did not revolve around me

So storms are in your will, so I can feel what others feel…

Their needs…

If I could speak honestly


CHORUS:

It don’t feel good, but growing never does

It don’t seem fair, for you to call this love

But if necessary pain, is the ingredient for change

Even when life may be bittersweet

It’s working…


Verse 2:

Just for me, all the moments I missed that were

Just for me, because I chose not to wait patiently

But for every mistake, was the same amount of grace

That kept my blessing waiting


Just for me, but trusting your timing is not easy

And what I want’s not always what I need

But somewhere I forgot, you are God and I am not… 

I see…If I could speak honestly… 



CHORUS:

It don’t feel good, but growing never does

It don’t seem fair, for you to call this love

But if necessary pain, is the ingredient for change

Even when life may be bittersweet

It’s working…

Ooh la la-ah, ooo la la-ah , oh la la-aa-ah la, la la ,la la-

[I’m singing] Ooh la la-ah , ooo la la-ah , oh la la-aa-ah la, la la ,la la-


CHORUS:

It don’t feel good, but growing never does

It don’t seem fair, for you to call this love

But if necessary pain, is the ingredient for change

Even when life may be bittersweet

It’s working… [Repeat 2x]
