Ordinary Me Lyrics

I was looking for an answer trying to turn the page
But always holding onto the past
I built these walls around me but somehow You have found me
Now I know a joy that will last

'Cause in this love You gave amazing grace
And healed my broken soul
And from Your mighty throne You held me close
And made this wounded whole

You could write a note across the sky
Make heaven testify 'cause You are awesome
And You could make the mountains shout Your name
While the angels sing Your praise

So I wonder how an extraordinary God could love an ordinary me
I'll never understand it, how Your love has set me free

I gotta know how can the King of Glory care so much about me?
That You would choose to give up Your life
With every changing season You love me without reason
Everything I have You provide

I fall on my knees and give You praise
I will worship You alone
You are the only God, the highest power
I live to make You known

You could write a note across the sky
Make heaven testify 'cause You are awesome
And You could make the mountains shout Your name
While the angels sing Your praise

Oh, I wonder how an extraordinary God could love an ordinary me

And though I don't deserve this gift of mercy and abounding grace
You blessed me with it anyway
I'm not ashamed to tell the world about You
That You're more than enough for an ordinary girl like me

You could write a note across the sky
Make heaven testify 'cause You are awesome
And You could make the mountains shout Your name
While the angels sing

You could write a note across the sky
Make heaven testify
You could make the mountains shout Your name
While the angels sing Your praise

I will say that an extraordinary God, He loves an ordinary me

You could write a note across the sky
Make heaven testify
You could make the mountains shout Your name
While the angels sing Your praise

I can say that an extraordinary God can love an ordinary girl like me

You could write a note across the sky
Make heaven testify
You could make the mountains shout Your name
While the angels sing Your praise

Heather Headley (born October 5, 1974) is a Tony Award-winning and Grammy Award-winning R&B singer and actress from Trinidad and Tobago.

Headley began playing the music of her native country at a young age, including calypso, reggae and soca. She moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana in the United States at the age of fifteen when her father was offered a job as pastor of McKee Street Church of God (in Anderson, Indiana).

After graduating from Northrop High School, Headley attended Northwestern University to study communications and musical theatre. In 1997, she played Nala in The Lion King, the Broadway musical. Headley's performance was well-received and she then originated the title role in the Broadway adaptation of Aida, earning the Tony Award for Best Actress in 1999.

Headley released her debut album, This Is Who I Am, in October 2002 on RCA Records. Although its first single, "He Is", was not very successful, the second single, "I Wish I Wasn't", achieved moderate success and earned her a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. Headley was also nominated for Best New Artist.

On September 6, 2003, Headley married Brian Musso, formerly of the New York Jets. Her second album, In My Mind, was delayed due to the various executive shake-ups associated with RCA parent BMG's merger with Sony, and Headley joked that it should have been called Caught Up instead. Under BMG North America chairman/CEO Clive Davis for the first time, Headley released the album in January 2006. The title track was released as the first single; it was produced by India.Arie collaborator Shannon Sanders, and its music video was directed by Diane Martel. The song reached number-one on the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. Read more on Last.fm.
