He Saw the Best in Me

written by , Marvin L. Sapp/ Aaron W. Lindsey

He saw the best in me
When everyone else around
Could only see the worst in me . . .

He saw the best in me
When everyone else around
Could only see the worst in me
Can I tell y'all 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
Could only see the worst in me
Does anybody have their testimony?

When folks wrote you off
Said you would never make it
What did he see?
He saw the best in me

When everyone else around me
When everyone else around could only see the worst in me
Can I tell you all 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 only sees me for who I am
Does anyone know that tonight?

See he is mine, and I am his
Said it doesn't matter what I did
See, he only sees me for who I am
Help me sing it

Said he is mine
(He is mine)
Said it doesn't matter what I did
He only sees me for who I am

He is mine, I am his
It doesn't matter what I did
He only sees me for who I am
I am so glad that he is mine
It doesn't matter what I did
He only sees me for whom I am

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

Can I ask ya'll 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's some folk in here that people have 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 momma said you would never be nothin'
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 say that you weren't going to make it
God looked at you and what did he see, what did he see?
He saw the best, the best

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