Album: It Pushed Me - Single

Spoken Intro
We got a testimony today!
God used everything we went through
To make us who we are, and we're grateful!
Come on, say it: God gave me a vision.


Verse 1:
God gave me a vision of where I would be,
But he didn't show me what I'd go through
On the journey;
But everything that I faced prepared me
For what God has for me to do.
So now that I'm here, I can praise Him
For all I that had to go through.


Pre-Chorus:
What the devil meant for evil,
God used to get the glory.


Chorus:
'Cause it pushed me into my...
It pushed me into my destiny.
God used it to make me
Who He called me to be.


Verse 2:
All of the test and trials
Were a part of God's plan;
They have all made me stronger,
And taught me how to trust him.
That's why my praise is so crazy,
And often misunderstood;
'Cause what the enemy thought would destroy me,
God turned it around for my good.

Pre-Chorus - Chorus


Bridge:
All the trouble, all the pain
Brought me closer to Him
It was good that I was afflicted,
'Cause it made me who I am!

Chorus


Vamp:
Thank you for pushing me...
Thank you for pushing me... yeah!
(3x)

'Cause every struggle (It pushed me)
That sickness (It pushed me)
The nights I cried (It pushed me)
And that pain (It pushed me)
Thought it would take me out (It pushed me)
But it pushed me further! (It pushed me)
Now I can say (Now I... can... say!)


Ending:
Thank you for pushing me
Thank you for pushing me... yeah.
God used it to make me
Who He called me to be!
