Where I Been
by Michael Omartian, Stormie Omartian

Album: Seasons of the Soul

I may not be far along as you.
But I started way behind.
While you were making choices,
I was trying to survive.
While you were feeding from your mama's hand,
I was trying to begin.
Before you start in judging me,
Consider where I've been.

Chorus:
Think about it.
Think about where I been.
Think about it.
Think about where I been.
Think about it.
Before you think up things to say,
Think about where I been.
Before you write my life away,
Think about where I been.

I traveled hills and valleys,
Unpaved highways in the rain.
I heard them say, "that's wonderful,"
While their eyes reveal disdain.
If you think compared with you,
I don't hold up as well.
Well, Jesus had a lot to do,
When He brought me back from Hell.

(Repeat Chorus)

Maybe as I'm standing here,
There's a better place to be.
But knowing where I've come from,
This looks very good to me.
And if I've learned one thing at all,
From the man who's been accused.
It's not to judge your brother,
'Less you're walking in his shoes.
