Verse 1:
Just for me, many doors you’ve closed
Just for me, sometimes you will say no
So I’ll be, tested in your fire, to purify my desires
So my blessings won’t be

Just for me, so caught up in myself, I couldn’t see
The world did not revolve around me
So storms are in your will, so I can feel what others feel…
Their needs…
If I could speak honestly

CHORUS:
It don’t feel good, but growing never does
It don’t seem fair, for you to call this love
But if necessary pain, is the ingredient for change
Even when life may be bittersweet
It’s working…

Verse 2:
Just for me, all the moments I missed that were
Just for me, because I chose not to wait patiently
But for every mistake, was the same amount of grace
That kept my blessing waiting

Just for me, but trusting your timing is not easy
And what I want’s not always what I need
But somewhere I forgot, you are God and I am not…
I see…If I could speak honestly…

CHORUS:
It don’t feel good, but growing never does
It don’t seem fair, for you to call this love
But if necessary pain, is the ingredient for change
Even when life may be bittersweet
It’s working…

Bridge
Ooh la la-ah, ooo la la-ah , oh la la-aa-ah la, la la ,la la-
[I’m singing] Ooh la la-ah , ooo la la-ah , oh la la-aa-ah la, la la ,la la-

CHORUS:
It don’t feel good, but growing never does
It don’t seem fair, for you to call this love
But if necessary pain, is the ingredient for change
Even when life may be bittersweet
It’s working… [Repeat 2x]

Outro
Just For Me…. [Repeat as needed]

I don't care what anyone Franklin is the G.O.A.T. in the gospel music genre.

This man's talent is untouchable....

[ramonaspikner]

Kirk writes so much of what the real honest, imperfect, flawed Christian feels on a daily. I agree with another post that it's not just a dope beat but the words provide some relief when we are confused about are daily walk with God. He is pouring his heart out to God which then gives him the inspiration to help us get through this thing called life .

[TheAniyaMarie]

“Trusting your timing is not easy” 😭 That just hit me so hard

[harrellcandace]

Not too many people sing about pruning. Good Lord, this is good.

"Somewhere I forgot that you are God, and I am not..."
Wow... if that ain't the truth... Lord I repent.

[frenchydds]

..am I the only one that likes this in-studio version over the album version?😂 Live music always seems more soulful since the main goal is to minister and not to sound perfect🥰

[chriswhite]

“Somewhere I forgot you are God and I am not” that line gut-punches my spirit every time and humbles me

[Double]

I swear, Kirk is the only person on earth who can make someone like me go to church...i hope he knows he's changing lives with his music.

"It don't feel good! But growing never does. It don't seem fair! For you to call this love. But if necessary pain is the ingredient for change. Even when life may be bittersweet, it's working just for me..." These lyrics! #realChristianlife #stayoutmyprayerjournalKirk #SOMLall2019

My wife is 8 months pregnant and as she was driving today, she got involved in a terrible head collision accident. Her car was pushed away 15 metres away while she was inside. I thank God she survived and the baby is okay. God is great.

[KellieAlston]

Feels like this song was written "just for me."

[jdukes]

I know I've already commented on this, but I've studied, analyzed and sung gospel music for over 20 years... This is one of the best songs in gospel music history...The song is amazing, it's beautiful.🎼🎵

[robertw]

I love the honesty and vulnerability of this song. Kirk's maturity in terms of his writing is underrated because his grooves are hot. But don't trip; if you've been listening to the lyrics he's consistently been growing.

[coolmister]

It's not just a groove, but a groove with some meat on it. Some substance tho. Ooo la la

[LaurenHorii]

His honesty, vulnerability and kingdom perspective is SO beautifully balanced and his ability to express them lyrically is nothing short of AMAZING. Kirk, you've been such a BLESSING!!

[falatoronto]

The backup singers are amazing, those vocals, wow.

[maxinec]

"If I could speak honestly, it don't feel good...necessary pain is the ingredient for change...." Thank you Kirk for Just For Me.

[lydiaperera]

This song has been a comfort in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka.
