Jekalyn Carr They Said, But God Said Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They said you couldn't have it
But God said, "It's yours."
They said you won't make it
But God said, "I'll open doors."
They said it was over for you
But God said, "It has just begun."
They said you might as well give up the fight
But God said, "The battle is already won."

[Chorus]
They walk over, they talk over
They've pressed on you, they laughed on you
But in the midst of all of that
God still raised up a champion
In the midst of the hurt, in the midst of the pain, in the midst of distractions
He said you are the chosen one

[Verse 2]
They said you will never be
But God said, "I'm raising you for my glory."
They said you didn't have a dream, oh
But God says, "You have purpose."
They said this problem will never end
But God said, "I'm bringing you out, my child."
They've said you might as well throw in the towel
But God said, "This storm is just for a while."

[Chorus]
They walk over, they talk over
They've pressed on you, they laughed on you
But in the midst of all of that
God still raised up a champion
In the midst of the hurt, in the midst of the pain, in the midst of distractions
He said you are the chosen one

[Bridge]
You're gonna face hurt, you're gonna face pain
You're gonna face heartache and even some rain
You're gonna have ups, you're gonna have downs
They may be here today but tomorrow they may not be found
You're gonna have tears, you're gonna be wronged
You're gonna have fears and have to walk alone
But you gotta know, you are the chosen one
Just like Nehemiah You may have to ask God for strength today
(You are the chosen one)
Strength to make it, strength to [take all of the time?]
'Cause now it's [yours and push the anger down?]
(You are the chosen one)
Just like Samson
You may not understand the instructions
But you've gotta obey
(You are the chosen one)
I know sometimes it may be hard to understand
But if God's gonna lead ya
(You are the chosen one)
He's gonna take you all the way
You may be like Moses
Born [2:55?] raised by someone else
(You are the chosen one)
Oh, you've gotta understand
God just wanted you to give Him [3:02?]
[?] His purpose for your life
(You are the chosen one)
Just like Abraham
You may have to walk alone and leave everything behind
(You are the chosen one)
Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry about it
'Cause God's got a plan for your life, yeah
In the midst of hurt, in the midst of negativity, in the midst of distractions
[Even Him is used?]
Even though they said it
It does not mean it have to be
'Cause God has the last word over your life, yeah
You gotta know, you gotta know
You are the chosen one, yes, you are
You are, you are the chosen one
You're gonna face hurt, you're gonna face pain
You're gonna face heartache and even some rain
You're gonna have ups, you're gonna have downs
The [3:56?] can be in your life today but tomorrow they shall...

[Outro]
You're gonna have tears and you're gonna be wronged
You're gonna have fears, you may have to walk alone
But we just wanna let you know today
You are the chosen one
