Looking For You Lyrics

Kirk Franklin Looking For You

Songwriters: Rushen, Patrice; Washington, Freddie; Brown, Sheree; Franklin, Kirk; Mims, Charles Jr;

I've been down so long, I've been hurt for so long
There were times I thought I'd never see the break of day
It was hard for me to see Your plan for me
And I tried to believe struggling won't last always
 
See night after night, night after night, night after night
I prayed 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 You know that I've been looking for You?
I realize 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

You been so good to us
You brought us from a mighty long way
That's why we love You, come on

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 sunlight 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 You know that I've been looking for You?
I realize 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 You know that I've been looking for You?
I realize 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, let's sing it with 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'm so glad I can hear You

Don't You know that I've been looking for You?
I realize 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 You know that I've been looking for You?
I realize 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)
So I want you to remember
(Uh oh, uh uh oh)
No matter what happens tomorrow
(Uh oh, uh uh oh)
God's got it all under control
(Uh oh, uh uh oh)
All things brought together
