Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It could've been me
With no clothes, no shoes, and no food to eat
Yeah (Yeah), yeah (Yeah)
It could've been me
Without you love Lord, tell me where would I be
Yeah, yeah
It could've been
[Verse 2]
Me in the cold with (Everything gone)
No house, no job (Outside all alone)
Sitting trying to figure out (Where I went wrong)
Can somebody help me? (Tell me what do I do)
Can't feed my kids need (Money for the rent)
Bills after bills but (Everything spent)
The enemy telling me you (Might as well quit)
With tears in my eyes crying (Lord, please get me through)
See that's the reason
(I just can't thank you enough no matter how hard I try, Jesus, I realize)
[Verse 3]
It could've been me
With no clothes, no shoes, and no food to eat
Yeah (Yeah), yeah (Yeah)
It could've been me
Without you love Lord, tell me where would I be
Yeah, yeah
It could've been
[Verse 4]
Me in the cold with (Everything gone)
No house no job (Outside all alone)
Sitting trying to figure out (Where I went wrong)
Can somebody help me (Tell me what do I do)
Can't feed my kids need (Money for the rent)
Bills after bills but (Everything spent)
The enemy telling me you (Might as well quit)
With tears in my eyes crying (Lord, please get me through)
[Verse 5]
See it's easy to complain (Bout material things)
When you don't have to worry (Bout whatever life brings)
But somebody here tonight (Don't know what they gonna eat)
So I gotta be careful ('Cause it could've been me)
See y'all that's the reason
(I just can't thank you enough no matter how hard I try, Jesus, I realize)
[Verse 6]
It could've been me
With no clothes, no shoes, and no food to eat
Yeah (Yeah), yeah (Yeah)
It could've been me
Without you love Lord, tell me where would I be
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 7]
It could've been me
With no clothes, no shoes, and no food to eat
Yeah (Yeah), yeah (Yeah)
It could've been me
Without you love Lord, tell me where would I be
Yeah, yeah
It could've been
[Verse 8]
Where my steppers at?
Where my steppers at?
Where my steppers at?
Where my steppers at?

A little bit louder, come on (I thank you)
It could've been me (It could've been me)
[Verse 11]
No, really (You didn't have to do it, no)
You've given me another chance (You didn't have to do it, no)
You've given me another chance (You didn't have to do it, no)
That's why i lift my hands and say (Thank you)
[Verse 12]

Too good to stop now, father
I wanna give you thanks some more
All the things I've been through now
I see I'm better than I was before
When I think about all you've done
And how you've opened up every door
I can't help but say thank you
And if you wanna help me get up on the floor
[Verse 18]
(Thank you)
(Thank you)
(I thank you)
(It could've been me)
(Thank you)

(You didn't have to do it, no)
(Thank you)
[Verse 21]
Too good to stop now, father
I wanna give you thanks some more
All the things I've been through now
I see I'm better than I was before
When I think about all you've done
And how you've opened up every door
I can't help but say thank you
And if you wanna help me get up on the floor
[Verse 22]
Too good to stop now, father
I wanna give you thanks some more
All the things I've been through now
I see I'm better than I was before
When I think about all you've done
And how you've opened up every door
I can't help but say thank you
And if you wanna help me get up on the floor
[Verse 23]
Too good to stop now, father
I wanna give you thanks some more
All the things I've been through now
I see I'm better than I was before
When I think about all you've done
And how you've opened up every door
I can't help but say thank you
And if you wanna help me get up on the floor
