Story behind the song
Sometimes God denies us what we want the most, because He has something better. The best that God can give us is a relationship with Jesus Christ. Sometimes God takes things away from us, so that we can get closer to Jesus.
Lyrics
I See
by Sojourn
Days I shouted.
Nights I cried, “God, please grant me my desire!”
Thought you'd hear me if I screamed.
Still You went and killed my dreams
Now I see, Now I see
Thank You, Lord, for giving Your life to me
Now I see, Now I see
Thank You, Lord, for Your mercy and Your love
When I struggled, then I grew
When I searched, Lord, I’d see You
Willing to be crucified
Half the time I’d run and hide
Now I see, Now I see
Thank You, Lord, for giving Your life to me
Now I see, Now I see
Thank You, Lord, for Your mercy and Your love
Took my dreams, crucified my pride
Cleaned out addictions, filled me in with life
Better still and best is what you gave
No room for that until you took away
Now I see, Now I see
Thank You, Lord, for giving Your life to me
Now I see, Now I see
Thank You, Lord, for Your mercy and Your love
