The Way I Used To Be…

 

The Way I Used To Be

–

The way I used to be, I don’t want to be no more

The way I used to be, I don’t want to be no more

I used to hold a grudge, I wouldn’t let the anger go.

The way I used to be, Lord, I don’t want to be no more.

–

Lord, I used to talk bad about others,

I used to cuss and take your name in vain.

I used to complain about my brothers,

I want to walk with you and in love remain.

–

I must confess, Lord, I knew it was not your way.

–

The way I used to be, I don’t want to be no more

The way I used to be, I don’t want to be no more

I want to hold your hand and let those old ways go.

The way I used to be, Lord, I don’t want to be no more.
