"Used To Be" lyrics

"Used To Be"

People acting like they know me
But if they only knew the old me
They'd be giving God the glory
For what He's done
And where He brought me from
Got me singing Hallelujah
(Hallelujah)

Oh, I'mma tell it, all of my testimony
Oh, I'mma tell it, all what He's done for me

If you knew who I was
If you knew what I've done
You would not believe
I'm not who I used to be

If those rumors are true
Look what mercy can do
It's not hard to see
I'm not who I used to be

(I'm not, I'm not, oh, I'm not)
(I'm not, I'm not, oh, I'm not)

I've been living in the light now
All the wrongs make it right now
Everybody's gonna find out
And I'm changed, and I'm saved
Got me singing Hallelujah

Oh, I'mma tell it, all of my testimony
Oh, I'mma tell it, all what He's done for me

If you knew who I was
If you knew what I've done
You would not believe
I'm not who I used to be

If those rumors are true
Look what mercy can do
It's not hard to see
I'm not who I used to be

(I'm not, I'm not, oh, I'm not)
(I'm not, I'm not, oh, I'm not)

Surely goodness and mercy
Follow behind me
All of my life
Surely favor and blessings
Will go before me
All of my life

Oh, if you knew who I was
If you knew what I've done
You would not believe
I'm not who I used to be

If those rumors are true
Look what mercy can do
It's not hard to see
I'm not who I used to be

(I'm not, I'm not, oh, I'm not)
I'm not who I used to be
(I'm not, I'm not, oh, I'm not)
(I'm not, I'm not, oh, I'm not)
