Story I Tell Lyrics

I was the harlot sitting down by the well
I was the leper who was told not to tell
I was so paralyzed, I never had moved
Until 4 of my friends who wouldn't give in
Went and busted up a roof

I was the widow who gave up my last dime
I was the blind man with the mud in his eye
I was the woman known by too many men
But as I covered my face, He uncovered His grace
As I heard stones hit the sand

Ooh nobody knew the troubles I've seen
Nobody knew my shame
Nobody knew the places I'd been
I didn't know how to change
But He saw a hope that I did not see
He saw a better way
And the unbelievable thing about the story I tell
Is that you don't even know my name

I was the prodigal, once lost but now found
I was made sane the day the swine were all drowned
And I was the thief that was hung up to die
But the Son, the Man looked at my cross I was bearing
And decided to give me life

Ooh nobody knew the troubles I've seen
And nobody knew my shame
Nobody knew the places I'd been
I didn't know how to change
But He saw a hope that I did not see
He saw a better way
And the unbelievable thing about the story I tell
Is that you don't even know my name
Nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody
Even knows my name

I am the homeless wandering 'round on your street
I live across the world with nothing to eat
And I'm locked in prison with a chain on my dreams
And when you see me every day and you look the other way
It's like a slap across my cheek

Ooh nobody knows the troubles I'd seen
And nobody knows my shame
Nobody knows the places I'd been
I don't know how to change
Ooh He sees a hope that I do not see
He sees a better way
And the unbelievable thing about the story I tell
Is that you don't even know my name
See the unbelievable thing about the story I tell
Is that you don't even know my name
Nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody
Even knows my name
Nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody
Even knows my name
