Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He saw the best in me
When everyone else around
Could only see the worst in me
I wish I had a witness tonight
[Verse 2]
Said, He saw the best in me
I guess I'm the only one that got this testimony
When everyone else around me
Could only see the worst in me
Can I tell y'all one more time? One more time?
[Verse 3]
I said, He saw the best in me
When everyone else around me
Could only see the worst in me
I wish I had a witness tonight, all I need is one
[Verse 4]
He saw the best in me
When everyone else around me, yeah
(When everyone else around)
Could only see (Could only see the worst in me)
Does anybody have their testimony?
[Verse 5]
When folks wrote you off
Said you would never make it
What did He see?
(He saw the best in me)
[Verse 6]
When everyone else around me asked how
(When everyone else around)
(Could only see the worst in me)
Can I tell you all one more thing?
I just need to tell you one more thing, listen to this
[Verse 7]
See, He's mine, and I am His
It doesn't matter what I did
He only sees me for who I am
Does anybody know that tonight?
[Verse 8]
See, He is mine, and I am His
Said, it doesn't matter what I did
See, He only sees me for who I am
Help me sing it
[Verse 9]
Said that He is mine (He is mine)
I'm His (And I'm His)
Said it doesn't matter what I did (It doesn't matter what I did)
He only sees me for who I am
('Cause He only sees me for who I am)
[Verse 10]
Yeah I said, He is mine (He's mine)
I am His (And I'm His)
It doesn't matter what I did (It doesn't matter what I did)
For He only sees me
('Cause He only sees me for who I am)
[Verse 11]
(He's mine)
I am His (And I'm His)
It doesn't matter what I did (It doesn't matter what I did)
For He only sees me for who I am
('Cause He only sees me for who I am)
[Verse 12]
I'm so glad that he is mine (He's mine)
And I am His (And I'm His)
It doesn't matter what I did (It doesn't matter what I did)
He only sees me, He only, He only sees me
('Cause He only sees me for who I am)
Yeah, one more time (Whoa, whoa)
[Verse 13]
He's mine (He's mine)
Yeah (And I'm His)
It doesn't matter what I did (It doesn't matter what I did)
He only sees me
('Cause He only sees me for who I am)
[Verse 14]
He saw the best in me
(When everyone else around)
(Could only see the worst in me)
I wish I had a witness tonight
That may be somebody else's testimony
Help me sing it, help me sing it
[Verse 15]
He saw the best in me
Everyone else around me
(When everyone else around)
(Could only see the worst in me)
[Verse 16]
Can I ask ya'll one question?
The question is simply this
What did he see?
(He saw the best)
[Verse 17]
I can't get no help up in here
Because there's some folk in here that people have wrote you off
Said you would never amount to anything
Said that you would never end up being anywhere
But Myron, tell 'em one more time, what did he see?
(He saw the best)
[Verse 18]
When momma said you would never be nothin'
When aunties and uncles said you would never amount to anything
When daddy didn't come home anymore
He didn't look at you and say that you weren't going to make it
God looked at you, and what did he see, what did he see?
(He saw the best)
[Verse 19]
Is there anybody in here tonight
That's so very thankful
That God did not write you off?
That He did not throw you away
That He picked you up
[Verse 20]
He saw (He saw the best)
(The best)
What did he see? (The best)
I said, what did He see? (The best)
I said, what did He see? (The best)
I said, what did He see? (The best)
I said, what did He see? (The best)
I said, what did He see? (The best)
(He saw the best in me)
[Verse 21]
Oh, Lord
Oh, Lord (Oh, Lord)
Oh, Lord (Oh, Lord)
Oh, Lord (Oh, Lord)
[Verse 22]
Can I sing the verse one time?
Listen to this y'all, I love this, I love this, see
[Verse 23]
See, He is mine, and I'm His
It doesn't matter what I did
For He only sees me for who I am
Ooh Lord, yeah
[Verse 24]
He's mine, and I am His
It doesn't matter what I did
He only sees me for who I am
Sing it one time, we going to go past this
[Verse 25]
He is mine, oh-oh-oh
(He is mine, and I'm His)
(It doesn't matter what I did)
He only sees me for who I am
('Cause He only sees me for who I am)
And the reason why He sees me for who I am, because He created me in his image and his likeness
[Verse 26]
He's mine (He's mine)
I am His (And I am His)
It doesn't matter what I did (It doesn't matter what I did)
He only sees me
('Cause He only sees me for who I am)
He saw the best
(He saw the best)
[Verse 27]
See, He is mine, and I am His
It doesn't matter what I did
For He only sees me for who I am
Oh Lord
[Verse 28]
(He's mine)
And I am His (And I am His)
It doesn't matter what I did...
