I just wanna tell the truth mayne
I just wanna tell the truth mayne
I just wanna tell the truth mayne
I just wanna tell the truth mayne
You're so fly, your so high
Everybody around you trying to figure out why
Everywhere you go man you get a lot of shine
You're draw like a magnet better yet I have it
Everything you wear people say they got have it
From the sweat suit to the white tee to the Gucci
You can probably say people wanna get like me
But what they don't know is when you go home
And get behind closed doors, man you hit the floor
And what they can't see is your on your knees
So the next time you get a chance tell 'em
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
You think I'm so fresh, you think I'm so clean
You think I'm so sweet
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
What is it you think you see
It's the God in me
You see her style you think she nice
You look at her whip you say the whip tight
You look at her crib you thinkin' she's paid
You look at her life, now you think she's got it made
But everything she's got the girl's been given
She calls it a blessing but you call it living
When it comes to money she can be a hero
She writes them checks with a whole lot of zeros
But what you don't know is when she get home
And get behind closed doors, man she hits the floor
And what you can't see is she's on her knees
If you ask her she'll tell you
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
You think I'm so fresh, you think I'm so clean
You think I'm so sweet
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
What is it you think you see
It's the God in me
What is it you think you see
When you see me, you see me
You don't know how much I pray
Don't know how much I gave
Don't know how much I changed
I'm just tryna explain
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
You think I'm so fresh, you think I'm so clean
You think I'm so sweet
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
What is it you think you see
It's the God in me, yeah
God in me, yeah yeah
You think I'm so fresh, you think I'm so clean
You think I'm so sweet
It's the God in me, oh oh yeah yeah
In Deborah Joy Imani Winans’s song, “God in Me” the lyrics illustrate the idea that the singer's success and admirable traits are all due to the presence and power of God in their life. They are proud of who they are and what they've accomplished, but they want to be transparent and honest about the source of that strength. The beginning of the song establishes that the person being described is cool, fly, and draws in people's attention. However, what people can't see is that the individual is constantly praying and has a deep connection with God. Towards the middle of the song, the singer shifts the focus to a woman who is equally successful and wealthy. Nevertheless, what people do not realize is that everything she has is due to the generosity of God.
The significance of "God in Me" lies in its message that true success comes from God, and not from individual effort alone. It emphasizes the importance of relying on and acknowledging the presence of a higher power in one's life. The song's lyrics have struck a chord with listeners, which is why it has enjoyed immense popularity and success.

I just wanna tell the truth mayne
I want to be honest about who I am and give credit to God for my success
You're so fly, your so high
Everybody around you trying to figure out why
Your so cool, you win all the time
Everywhere you go man you get a lot of shine
You're draw like a magnet better yet I have it
Everything you wear people say they got have it
From the sweat suit to the white tee to the Gucci
You can probably say people wanna get like me
People are drawn to your style, your success, and your material possessions. They want to emulate you.
But what they don't know is when you go home
And get behind closed doors, man you hit the floor
And what they can't see is your on your knees
So the next time you get a chance tell 'em
But what people don't know is that in private, you humble yourself before God and pray. So the next time someone praises you, give credit to God.
It's the God in me
My success, my strength, and my humility all come from my faith in God.
You see her style you think she nice
You look at her whip you say the whip tight
You look at her crib you thinkin' she's paid
You look at her life, now you think she's got it made
But everything she's got the girl's been given
She calls it a blessing but you call it living
When it comes to money she can be a hero
She writes them checks with a whole lot of zeros
You may look at her wealth and assume that she earned it all, but she thanks God for everything she has. She uses her wealth to help others.
What is it you think you see
When you see me, you see me
You don't know how much I pray
Don't know how much I gave
Don't know how much I changed
I'm just tryna explain
You may see the superficial things about me, but you don't see how much I pray, give, and work on myself to improve. I'm trying to explain that my faith in God is the reason for my success.

I set out on a narrow way, many years ago
Hoping I would find true love
Along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign
Pointed straight to you
That every long lost dream
Led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart
They were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way
Into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
I think about the years I spent
Just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost
And give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there, you understand
It's all part of a grander plan
That is coming true
That every long lost dream
Led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart
They were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way
Into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Yeah
Now I'm just rollin' home
Into my lovers arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

My husband & i married on June 21st, 2019...i walked down to him to this song...i couldnt help but cry....because this song rang so much truth for the both of us. Im always telling my husband he is my heaven on earth, after the hell i've endured prior to him. I was in a abusive relationship, and my husband brought heaven to my life when i needed him the most. And this song makes me cry every time i hear it...i love how the Lady sings every lyric with so much heart & truth! 😍😍💗💗
