Now

Dedicated in the church by my Pappy's hands
Sat up straight, said the prayers
'Cause my daddy said to

J birthmark on my forehead
Momma said that it meant I would be led
To be someone set apart in this world
For You

But I wanted to see
Who I would be, without You
Like a genie in a bottle
Only calling when I'd struggle
'Cause it was all I knew to do

But I'm glad that I know You now
Like I never knew before
Oh, I'm glad that I see You now
Lifted the veil and now I'm sure
It was true what they talked about
You're faithful then, and forever more
Oh, I'm glad I know You now
Like I didn't before

Singing with the band by the age of 12
Stage fright, but I tried 'cause they said
I did well

Telling me my purpose like they knew me
Said God was shining bright right through me
Must've been a lie—put Him aside, everything fell

So I tried to break free
From the pain they didn't see
Without You

Got baptized in the water
But questioned if I was Your daughter
I didn't know about the love You had for me

But I'm glad that I know You now
Like I never knew before
Oh, I'm glad that I see You now
Lifted the veil and now I'm sure
It was true what they talked about
You're faithful then, and forever more
Oh, I'm glad I know You now
Like I didn't before

Faithful through the generations
When they prayed for me
You listened
You followed me, I heard You calling me

Faithful to my grandma
Faithful to my momma
Now You're faithful to me

You heard my cries at 17
When I tried to tuck away the grief
It was eating me
They didn't see it in me

So I tried to run away from You
But You chased me down
'Cause You weren't through
With what You started in me
Now I see

But I'm glad that I know You now
Like I never knew before
Oh, I'm glad that I see You now
Lifted the veil and now I'm sure
It was true what they talked about
You're faithful then, and forever more
Oh, I'm glad I know You now
Like I didn't before
