"Could've Been"

With J Moss and Tye Tribbett
(K. Franklin)

It could've been me with no clothes, no shoes and no food to eat
It could've been me, without Your love
Lord tell me where would I be
It could've been

Me in the cold with [everything gone]
No house, no job [outside all alone]
Sitting trying to figure out [where I went wrong]
Can somebody help me [tell me what do I do]

Can't feed my kids need [money for the rent]
Bills after bills but [everything's spent]
The enemy telling me you [might as well quit and]
With tears in my eyes crying [Lord please get me through]

See it's easy to complain ['bout material things]
When you don't have to worry ['bout whatever life brings]
But somebody tonight [don't know what they gonna eat]
So I gotta be careful ['cause it could've been me]

See that's the reason [I just can't thank You enough]
No matter how hard I try, Jesus I realize

Breakdown : Oh…Oh

Vamp 1
Thank You [2x] [then I] could've been me
You didn't have to do it, no. Thank You

Vamp 2
Too good to stop now Father
I wanna give You thanks some more
All the things I've been through
Now I see I'm better than I was before
When I think about all You've done
How You've opened up every door
I can't help but say thank You
