Lyrics A Greater Story - Da' T.R.U.T.H. feat. Sam Collier & Tyra Scott

Yeah
I've been trying stay optimistic
Honestly I'm conflicted
Not the type to hold grudges
It's tough but that's my conviction
Yeah, I learned how to function
But ma we still got some questions
Struggled to understand why you stopped at adoption clinics
Why would you dodge commitment
I know I promised forgiveness but
Where did my father go see that still bothers my sister
Tell me, did you care when you dropped us off in the system
I get it, you was a kid trying to do it all without vision in life
Was never easy you did what you thought was best
I'm just venting emotions to get it off of my chest
I understand why you left
Underwater holding my breath
Only hoping one day to meet you
I kept it close to da vest
This is life
You've been where I've been
You'll be where I go
You know everything
All there is to know
So I'll trust you
I'll do whatever you need me to do
I'll trust you
Life is never easy you get what you thought was best
Yeah I'll trust you
I'll do whatever you need me to do
I'll trust you
I'll trust you
While I was thinking of you
You were searching for me
Turned out to be a pastor I speak at church every week
I'm married and I'm successful I'm streaming shows on TV
Wrote a book with my story to share my personal grief
Tragedy and the triumphs
God's purpose for me
My parents raised up a lion the kind of person to be
Jesus came and he found me
Through all the curves in the street
And for once I can see the logic in all my adversity
Now I'm really thankful grateful for what you did
I could see God's hand was in it
The life that I came to live
I can see that the plan was bigger
It's love that I came to give
I'm not damaged or bitter
I walking across the bridge
I've seen the cost of redemption
I've seen the cross and the grave
Looking off in the distance
Cause I'm no longer a slave
God been writing my story
Recording all of my days
So I give him all the glory today
Bless his name, yeah
You've been where I've been
You'll be where I go
You know everything
All there is to know
So I'll trust you
I'll do whatever you need me to do
I'll trust you
Life is never easy, you get what you thought was best
Yeah, I'll trust you
I'll do whatever you need me to do
I'll trust you
I'll trust you
I think I think God's doing something
You see a consistent thread of surrender
That leads to a greater connection to God intervening in our lives
And as you surrender your story is able to connect to His
And it leads to a greater story
When your story connects to God's story it leads to a greater story
