Chords for Marion Hall Formerly Lady Saw Perform at White House Caribbean Heritage Month Celebration

_ _ _ _ Normally I would be gyrating.
But I got saved.
There goes my bishop.
He was the one who turned back and baptized me on the 14th of December 2015
when the Spirit of the Lord spoke to me and claimed me to be baptized.
When I was writing this song, he also told me not to write a juice about me.
This song is about broken women.
Women who have seen grace, because I've been.
Women who have been on drugs, women who have been forced into prostitution.
[A] I should have been a dead woman [N] because nobody knew my story.
But I came from so much.
And when I said rape, not just one time.
Because I grew up in the country.
Jelena sent me.
But we went to Kingston because my dad was so abusive to my mom.
And she would run away.
So she went to Kingston and he would take us there.
And in Kingston, a lot of ghettos, they don't allow girls to grow.
[G] So this [N] song is titled, I Have Jesus.
I Have Jesus.
It says, I've been beaten. _
I've been raped.
Been going through a whole lot of struggle.
But I ain't never lose my faith.
I've been a victim.
Oh, I've been weak.
But don't you get it twisted.
I never accept [Am] defeat.
Because I have [Db] Jesus.
Who never let go of [N] my hand.
And he pulled me through the storm.
Because my Jesus [Db] had a plan.
[N] I said, I have Jesus.
Who never let go of my hand.
And he pulled me through the storm.
Because my Jesus had a plan.
I said, hide before the devil.
I raped him myself on stage.
At times I was so uncomfortable.
[Gm] But I did what I did to get paid.
I said, I almost lost my soul.
[N] Because half my story ain't never been told.
But Jesus, he took control.
And now I'm a part of his soul.
I said, I have Jesus.
Who never let go of my [Am] hand.
And he pulled [Db] me through the storm.
Because my [Eb] Jesus had a plan.
[D] I [C] said, I have Jesus.
Who never [D] let go [Am] of my hand.
And he pulled me through [C] the storm.
[Fm] Because my [A] Jesus [C] had a plan.
I say, I've been broken.
But I've been healed.
[Fm] All my scars [Am] and my bruises.
[D] My Jesus [E] had been sealed.
[C] I said, I've been [Fm] accused.
Of [F] things I ain't never done.
But go and [E] tell my accuser.
[Am] That [G] all has [C] been forgiven.
Because I had Jesus.
[F] Who never let go [C] of my hand.
[F] And he [C] pulled me through [Am] the [D] storm.
[Gm] Because my Jesus [C] had a plan.
I said, I have Jesus.
[F] Who never let [C] go of my hand.
[F] And he pulled [Am] me through the [D] storm.
Because [C] my Jesus had a plan.
And when I was on stage, I tell you a lot of times,
when I [D] leave the stage, [C] as ladies talk,
I used to go to the hotel and I would cry on my knees
and beg God [D] to forgive me for what I had [C] done.
What I did, what I had to do to get my family out of the ghetto
was because my sister got pregnant when she [D] was 14
by a [C] man who raped her.
And he was older than her.
But God has [A] been good to me and [D] he took me through [C] that storm.
And I'm standing today because of him.
And trust me, [D] my [C] testimony is a long one.
But it doesn't matter what you've been through.
There's a Savior, his name is Jesus,
[F] and it doesn't matter what you've done [C] before.
And it doesn't matter how dirty and messed up your past is.
When he cleans you and [D] cleans you, [G] you're a new [N] creature.
God bless you and I love you.
_ _ _ [Fm] [G] Thank you.
No point in waiting.
