Kirk Franklin
Lyrics
It could've been me
With no clothes no shoes and no food to eat
Yeah (Yeah) Yeah (Yeah)
It could've been me
Without you love Lord tell me where would I be
Yeah (Yeah) Yeah (Yeah)
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 spent)
The enemy telling me you
(Might as well quit)
With tears in my eyes crying
(Lord please get me throught)
See that's the reason
(I just can't thank you enough no matter how hard I try Jesus I realize)
It could've been me
With no clothes no shoes and no food to eat
Yeah (Yeah) Yeah (Yeah)
It could've been me
Without you love Lord tell me where would I be
Yeah (Yeah) Yeah (Yeah)
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 spent)
The enemy telling me you
(Might as well quit)
With tears in my eyes crying
(Lord please get me throught)
See it's easy to complain
(Bout material things)
When you don't have to worry
(Bout whatever life brings)
But somebody here tonight
(Don't know what they gonna eat)
So I gotta be careful
(Cause it could've been me)
See y'all that's the reason
(I just can't thank you enough no matter how hard I try Jesus I realize)
It could've been me
With no clothes no shoes and no food to eat
Yeah (Yeah) Yeah (Yeah)
It could've been me
Without you love Lord tell me where would I be
Yeah (Yeah) Yeah (Yeah)
It could've been
It could've been me
With no clothes no shoes and no food to eat
Yeah (Yeah) Yeah (Yeah)
It could've been me
Without you love Lord tell me where would I be
Yeah (Yeah) Yeah (Yeah)

Oh oh

You didn't have to do it no
You didn't have to do it no
You didn't have to do it no thank you
You didn't have to do it no thank you
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
And how you've opened up every door
I can't help but say thank you
And if you wanna help me get up on the floor
Thank you
Thank you
I thank you it could've been me
I thank you it could've been me
You didn't have to do it no
You didn't have to do it no
You didn't have to do it no thank you
You didn't have to do it no thank you
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
And how you've opened up every door
I can't help but say thank you
And if you wanna help me get up on the floor
