Lyrics Micah Tyler – The Story I Tell
Text:
I was the harlot sitting down by the well
I was the leper who was told not to tell
I was so paralyzed, I never had moved
Until 4 of my friends who wouldn’t give in went and busted up the roof
I was the widow who gave up my last dime
I was the blind man with the mud in his eye
I was the woman known by too many men
And as I covered my face, He uncovered His grace, as I heard stones hit the sand
Nobody knew the troubles I’d seen
Nobody knew my shame
Nobody knew the places I’d been
I didn’t know how to change
He saw a hope that I did not see
He saw a better way
And the unbelievable thing about the story I tell
Is that you don’t even know my name
I was the prodigal once lost but now found
I was made sane the day the swine were all drowned
I was the thief that was hung up to die
But the Son the Man looked at my cross I was bearing
And decided to give me life
Nobody knew the troubles I’d seen
Nobody knew my shame
Nobody knew the places I’d been
I didn’t know how to change
He saw a hope that I did not see
He saw a better way
And the unbelievable thing about the story I tell
Is that you don’t even know my name
Nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody
Even knows my name
I am the homeless wandering round on your street
I live across the world with nothing to eat
I’m locked in prison with a chain on my dreams
And when you see me every day, and you look the other way
It’s like a slap across my cheek
Nobody knows the troubles I’d seen
Nobody knows my shame
Nobody knows the places I’d been
I don’t know how to change
He sees a hope that I do not see
He sees a better way
And the unbelievable thing about the story I tell
Is that you don’t even know my name
See the unbelievable thing about the story I tell
Is that you don’t even know my name
Nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody
Even knows my name
Nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody
Even knows my name
