Just James Lyrics


I'm not one to make excuses
I'm not one to place the blame on others
I'm not one to take the easy way out
I'm just a man trying to do the best I can
The greatest commandment is to love one another
and even more love the Lord even better
but when its all said and done
and when a rainy day comes
Take my hand and understand I'm human
CHORUS
I keep thinkin' bout where I went wrong
its keeping me awake at night all alone
but I realize underneath all of us are really just the same
I'm just James
I'm just James
Live another day to tell somebody

If you're in trouble we can pray about it
and I don't really need to know what happened
but since I love you, I can feel your sadness
I'm a witness God can set you free
Cuz I remember what He did for me
when its all said and done
and your rainy day comes
I'll take your hand and understand that your human
I keep thinkin' bout where I went wrong
its keeping me awake at night all alone
but I realize underneath all of us are really just the same
I'm just James
I keep thinkin' bout what went wrong (where I went wrong)
its keeping me awake at night all alone
but I realize underneath all of us are really just the same
(I'm just James), I'm James, (I'm just James)
You see I'm not perfect (James)
but I keep on working (James)
I'm full of blemish (James)
Never said I'm flawless (James)
See I wanna be used (James)
but I get confused (James)
Able to be tempted (James)
But what I did was I called on Jesus
You see me plus Him (Jesus)
Makes me walk different (Jesus)
Makes me talk different (Jesus)
Even sing different (Jesus)
But I'm a work in progress (Jesus)
And I know He's not finished (Jesus)
He's working on me (Jesus)
He's working on meeeeeeee (Jesus) Uh oh
I keep thinkin' bout where I went wrong
its keeping me awake at night all alone
but I realize underneath all of us are really just the same
I'm just James
He's working (He's working on me)
from the inside out (He's working on me)
He scrubbed me down (He's working on me)
Turned it around (not through with me yet)
He's working (He's working on me) on my anointing (He's working on me)
on my commitment (He's working on me)
on my commitment (and not through with me yet)
He's fixing me (He's working on me)
He's fixing me (He's working on me)
He's changing me(He's working on me)
Yeah Yeah Yeah (and not through with me yet)
He's working (He's working on me)
Breakking me open (He's working on me)
cleaning me out (He's working on me)
and I thank Him (and not through with me yet)
I'm just James
TALKING
Before I was afflicted, I strayed away.
But now, I'm keeping your word
Just James

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan as James Moss, the son of Gospel star Bill Moss, Sr., James spent much of his childhood on tours with his father's popular group, Bill Moss and the Celestials, and his cousin's group The Clark Sisters. As an early teen, Moss was teamed with his brother Bill Jr. in the singing duo The Moss Brothers. They toured on weekends around the midwest and recorded two major label albums during their seven years together.

In this period James developed as a keyboardist and burgeoning songwriter. He also learning first-hand the business of music. He attended Michigan State University for two years, but the desire to write and perform was too strong, and he left to seek a career in music.

Upon his return to Detroit, Moss signed with a small local Christian label Aviday Records and released two albums to little fanfare. Yet, during this time he became acquainted with Paul Allen and Walter Kearney. The three began working together as PAJAM. Moss spent the mid-90s touring with The Clark Sisters and was signed, along with Karen Clark-Sheard, his cousin, to Island Records in 1996 to record a solo album. While a proper release never materialized for Moss before Island Black Music shut its doors, Clark's became a smash and introduced the Gospel world to the production powerhouse of PAJAM.

Over the next seven years, the PAJAM team became Gospel music's most prolific hitmakers. However, Moss' desire to perform never went away, and in 2003 he and Allen began writing songs for what would ultimately become The J. Moss Project, released in September 2004 on GospoCentric Records.

Though PAJAM's work has been seen as a revolutionary blend of gospel and hip-hop style, The J. Moss Project is a surprisingly traditional affair. The set largely relies on familiar arrangements, and keeps its focus on Moss's clear tenor voice and strong backing choir vocals. The album made a grand entry with the upbeat lead single "I Wanna Be".

The disc includes a number of upbeat gospel numbers such as such as "Don't Pray and Worry" and "Psalm 150". J. Moss' lithe falsetto at times draws comparison to the likes of Prince and Tonéx on "Livin' 4". There are also several gentle ballads such as "Give You More" and the album's anthemic single "We Must Praise" that display J. Moss' range as a vocalist and songwriter.
