I wanna be, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna be Highly Esteemed/
I wanna be, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna be Highly Esteemed/ (x4)
I wanna be what you see in me, just wanna look through the Father’s eyes/
My daddy’s absence said I wasn’t good enough, I will not believe my Father’s
Lies/
I wanna be where the Father lies, to be with you my final prize/
Still seeking to be Esteemed, I had to record me a reprise/
Couple things I had to realize, one thing I had to know for sure/
My Father’s House there are many rooms and Jesus Christ became my open door/
Glory glory got me Oh My Lord, arms outstretched on the floor/
They telling me that you’re not good, I’ll still Praise you with my vocal cords/
What you see when you look at me?
I wanna be what you look at me/
Fear Not of your dream for me/
I want to be what I’m shook to be/
This the part that nobody likes, I wasn’t worthy of amazing grace/
But I know we got a meeting set, I’m still not worthy of a face to face/
Felony, felony felony, not worthy for you to take my case/
Guilty on all accounts, no reason you should ever take my place/
The devil serving an eviction notice, you told me you that made a place/
My Father’s House there are many rooms, you told me that you’re making space/

I wanna be in the sight of God, what you seeing when you look at me?/
Of all the things that you could conceive, I think of all the time you took for
me/
From this life sometimes I need reprieve, need relief from the grief I see/
From sea to sea my sins you fling, I look for them, you say look to me/
Nothing happens by happenstance, everything for me is in your plans/
Nothing I deserve is in your hands, was sitting on you but took a stand/
Trusting you, stealing coloring books all I’m saying is I took a chance/
Took my time Trying to get your views, chilled out I took a glance/
Heard your love’s relentless, what’s it take to get your attention/
Bread of life trying to get the feed, what’s it take to get your mention/
These rappers tryna hand em dope, the system out here tryna keep em broke/
We just out here trying to hand them hope, they just hanging on by a rope/
For some these drugs are ravaging, for others their fathers wasn’t there/
So we building up safe houses, told them there’s a Father who cares/
This world so broken, you’re right and we persist and get it wrong/
Thief in the night stole my common sense, I’ll trust you when my sense is gone/
