To all my people in the struggle You think God's forgotten about you Here's some pain medicine Let's go! You're in your car You at the house, on you job Be encouraged, boo I've been down so long I've been hurt for so long There were times I thought I would never see the break of day It was hard for me to see your plan for me And I tried to believe trouble won't last always See, night after night (night after night, night after night) I pray Lord don't take your joy from me And then late one night (then late one night) I read in your love letter that it's gonna get better Don't cha know that I've been looking for you? I realized that nothing else will satisfy me I'm so glad I found you Now that I'm changed, no one can keep me away from you Oh You've been so good to us You brought us a mighty long way That's why we love ya When my enemies tried to come for me And they thought that my world was coming to an end All the while you knew That I would make it through I feel closer to you now than when I first began Jesus you are (Jesus you are, Jesus you are) You are my sun right after the rain Wherever you are (wherever you are) I just wanna be near you I'm so glad I can hear you Don't cha know that I've been looking for you? I realized that nothing else will satisfy me I'm so glad I found you Now that I'm changed, no one can keep me away from you Don't cha know that I've been looking for you? I realized that nothing else will satisfy me I'm so glad I found you Now that I'm changed, no one can keep me away from you (Here we go now, here we go now Don't stop now, let's go now, in the front now In the back now, let's go now, ladies!) Uh oh, uh uh oh (That's for the struggle) Uh oh, uh uh oh (That's for the pain) Uh oh, uh uh oh (That's for those dark nights) Uh oh, uh uh oh (Come on and sing it wit' us, ya'll) Jesus you are (Jesus you are, Jesus you are) You are my sunlight after the rain Wherever you are (wherever you are) I just wanna be near you I so glad I found you Don't cha know that I've been looking for you? I realized that nothing else will satisfy me I'm so glad I found you Now that I'm changed, no one can keep me away from you Don't cha know that I've been looking for you? I realized that nothing else will satisfy me I'm so glad I found you Now that I'm changed, no one can keep me away from you Uh oh, uh uh oh (oh oh) Uh oh, uh uh oh (oh oh) Uh oh, uh uh oh (oh oh) Uh oh, uh uh oh (oh oh)
