Mija L Edwards - I Remember

I remember those times
When I was blind
Had to open up my eyes
To see me
I remember those times
When I was blind
Had to open up my eyes
To see me

I remember those days every Sunday morning
When mama walked around the house giving God the glory
And no matter what she made me go to church
With them ugly fluffy dresses or them flower skirts
I'd be so mad I didn't want to go
She get on my nerves is what I would say on the low
Then she'd turn right around and smack my lips
And I would frown up my face and ball up my fists
Bout time I got to church I'd be all right
Besides the fact that I knew that I'd be there all night
So I had to relax and just wait for the folk
To make me laugh jumping around doing the Holy Ghost
Then I'd have to sing cause mama made me
So I would just sing the B I B L E
And when it was time for the pastor to preach
It was my time to lay down and go to sleep

I remember those times
When I was blind
Had to open up my eyes
To see me
I remember those times
When I was blind
Had to open up my eyes
To see me

Got to them late teenage years didn't have to go
Mama would ask you gonna church and I would say no
Now I felt like I was grown and so free
All because I didn't have to say my mama made me
Now I would sleep all Saturday morning and club at night
Sunday came and I didn't wake up to see the day light
Then I started to feel a lot of guilt and shame
And every time I got in trouble I would call His name
So I just ditched the clubs and went back to the church
Faithfully going and doing real good at first
Until I found myself straying back to the streets
Up in the bars with the drunks with the slurry speech
And hanging out with the hustlers from around the way
Delivering all types of weight just to make some money
And I knew in my mind that this was all wrong
Gotta get back to church cause that's where I belong

I remember those times
When I was blind
Had to open up my eyes
To see me
I remember those times
When I was blind
Had to open up my eyes
To see me

I finally realized that the streets wasn't for me
Had to get myself together snap back to reality
The same way I felt when I was living the worldly life
Was the same way I wanted to feel with Jesus Christ
Real comfortable without all the sin
And striving to be Christlike until the very end
So I regave my life on a Sunday
Time passed now I feel like I'm ready for judgement day
And I thank you God for forgiving me
For all the things I didn't do when I wasn't serving you
I must say that my soul feels real refreshed
Because I know that I'm not walking in the flesh
But rather with you God and that's all
And I really don't care how many times the devil calls
And I know with you God is where I wanna be
And guess what My mamas not making me

I remember those times
When I was blind
Had to open up my eyes
To see me
I remember those times
When I was blind
Had to open up my eyes
To see me
To see me
To see me
