Lyrics
Verse 1
Imagine me Loving what I see.
when the mirrors looks at me
cause I Imagine me In a place of no insecurities
and I'm finally happy cause Imagine me Letting go of all of the ones who hurt me, cause they never did deserve me Can you imagine me?..
Verse 2
Saying no to thoughts that try to control me
Remembering all you who told me Lord Can you imagine me?
Over what my mamma said and healed from what my daddy did
and I wanna live And not read that page again
Chorus
Imagine me Being free,
trusting you totally,
finally I can Imagine me
I admit it was hard to see you being in love
with someone like me finally I can Imagine me
Being strong and not letting people break me down
You won't that joy this time around Can you imagine me In a world,
where nobody has to live afraid
Because of your love fears gone away Can you imagine me?
Letting go of the past and glad I have another chance and my heart will dance cause
I don't have to read that page again
Spoken
The song is dedicated to people like me Those that struggle with insecurities, Acceptance and ever self esteem.
You never felt good enough,
you never felt pretty enough
But imagine God whispering in your ear Letting you know that everything that has happened is now gone
GONE it's all gone Every sin is gone
Every mistake is gone.
Every failure is gone
Depression is gone By faith
is gone
Low self-esteem is gone Hallelujah
it's gone God loves you

Meaning & Inspiration
“Imagine Me” by Kirk Franklin is a song about healing from insecurity and the wounds of the past. The singer pictures loving what the mirror shows, letting go of people who caused hurt, saying no to controlling thoughts, and no longer reading the same painful page again. Each picture is framed as a question, “Can you imagine me?”, which invites the listener to hope for a change that has not yet been seen.
The lyric admits that it was hard to believe God could love someone like the singer, then answers with trust and freedom. That thought is close to Psalm 139:14, which speaks of being fearfully and wonderfully made, and to 2 Corinthians 5:17, which describes the old passing away and the new coming.
The closing section turns to those who never felt good enough and names what is gone: sin, mistakes, failure, depression, and low self-esteem, ending with “God loves you.” The message is God’s acceptance replacing shame, with a promise of a fresh start.
