The One for Me
Mandi Mapes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I am imperfect, but you're the redeemer
And I'm filled with questions but you are the answer
I am a sinner, but you are my savior and
You, you are the one for me
And I belong to you
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
For the record I'm a full time failure
You know me better than I know myself
I'm a high class screwed up mess but
You love me just because
I'm the creation, you're the creator
And I am imperfect but you're the redeemer
And I'm filled with questions but you are the answer
I am a sinner, but you are my savior and
You, you are the one for me
And I belong to you
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
You are the one for me
And I belong to you
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Put a new song in my soul
Now I'm singing to this world
It can keep its empty promises
In my heart now I am sure
That you are the one for me
For the record I'm a full time failure
You know me better than I know myself
I'm a high class screwed up mess but
You love me just because
