Music & Lyrics by: David Altenor



This song goes out to everybody who's feeling down, discouraged and feel like giving up. So When you feel like giving in, know that God is there for you, just like He was there for me.


Chorus
I don't know what I'd do, I don't know where I'd be
I know I wouldn't be here, if it wasn't for You

If it wasn't for You
(Yo I've spent), so many nights alone, no one callin my phone
But when I wanna give up (God), I turn to You

I turn to You

Verse 1

(Yea), I'm tryna find the right time, and, the space to get my mind right
I, don't wanna lose sight, of all, the things You've done in my life
It was You,

Who put food on the table, was in control when everything wasn't stable
and those times, when things fell through, You still showed love even when we blamed you
Mom and pop worked, two jobs, told me everyday, to go hard

So I can be the best, by far, and that I was blessed, by God
But it was hard in '96, when dad died, and everyday, had no blue sky
For so long I wanted to know why, but everything changed when You heard my cry


Chorus


Bridge
So many people in the world are cold, but, we should come together and let God's love show
with every struggle there's also pain, but, God can help you take it away


Verse 2
(Yea), I'm tryna find the right time, and, the space to get my mind right

I, don't wanna lose sight, of all, the things You've done in my life
It was You,
Who saved me when I didn't know, that I should live but I needed some more room to grow

Ya'll see me on Facebook and videos, but all the pain that I been through, ya'll neva know
My brother Lou two years pasat 24, had brain cancer doctors didn't know
if they could save him with brain operations, but, before I knew it though, Lou didn't make it

and it was killin' me, i could take it
and I was up in the church and couldn't take it
but Jesus came through and saved me, it makes me wanna scream

OH

Chrous (elevated voice)


Ending
It was You (yes) it was You

God it was You, I'm glad I found You
(Yes) it was You, God it was You
(Yes) It was You, You
