  • He saw the best in me
    When everyone else around
    Could only see the worst in me
    I wish I had a witness tonight

    Said He saw the best in me
    When everyone else around me
    Could only see the worst in me
    Can I tell you one more time, one more time
    I said He saw the best in me
    When everyone else around me
    Could only see the worst in me
    I wish I had a witness tonight, all I need is one

    He saw the best in me
    When everyone else around me, yeah (when everyone else around me)
    (Could only see the worst in me)
    Does anybody have that testimony?
    When folk walks you off
    Said you would never make it
    What did He see?

    He saw the best in me
    When everyone else around you, yeah (when everyone else around)

    Can I tell you one more thing, I just need to tell you one more thing
    Listen to this

    See, He's mine, and I am his
    It doesn't matter what I did

    He saw the best in me
    (When everyone else around)
    (Could only see the worst in me)
    I wish I had a witness tonight
    But maybe somebody else testimony
    Help me sing it, help me sing it

    He saw the best in me
    Everyone else around me (when everyone else around)
    (Could only see the worst in me)

    Can I ask y'all one question?
    The question is simply this, what did He see?

    (He saw the best)
    I can't get no help up in here
    Because there are some folk in here people wrote you off
    Said you would never amount to anything
    Said that you would never end up being anywhere
    But Myron, tell 'em one more time, what did he see?
    (He saw the best)

    When mama said you would never be nothing
    When aunties and uncles said you would never amount to anything
    When daddy didn't come home anymore
    He didn't look at you and said that you wasn't going to make it
    God looked at you and what did He see, what did He see?

    (He saw the best)
    The best
    The best
    The best

    (He saw the best, the best)
    What did He see?
    I said, what did he see?
    I said, what did he see?
    I said, what did he see?
    I said, what did he see?
    I said, what did he see?

    (He saw the best in me)
    Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord

    Can I sing the verse one more time, listen to this y'all
    I love this, I love this

    See, he's mine, and I'm his
    It doesn't matter what I did
    But he only sees me for who I am
    Ooh Lord, yeah

    He's mine and I'm his
    It doesn't matter what I did
    He only sees me for who I am

    Sing it one time
    He is mine, oh

    (He's mine and I'm his)
    (It doesn't matter what I did)
    He only sees me for who I am (He only sees me for who I am)

    And the reason he sees me for who I am
    Because he created me in his image and his likeness

    He's mine (He's mine)
    I am his (and I'm his)
    It doesn't matter what I did (it doesn't matter what I did)
    He only sees me ('cause He only sees me for who I am)

    He saw the best (He saw the best)

    See, He's mine, I am his
    It doesn't matter what I did
    He only sees me for who I am, wow Writer/s: Aaron W. Lindsey, Marvin L. Sapp
