Lauryn Hill - Selah Lyrics

I love this woman 💙💙💙

I cry every time I hear this. Cried at her concert it was an honor to be in her presence no matter what time she came out. She and her music are so powerful. To me she is gospel. I have listened to her songs over the years she is timeless. I love me some Ms Lauryn Hill

I’m thinking of using this name for my first future daughter! It is such a gorgeous name with a beautiful meaning!

Love it

Every song called Selah is amazing.

In all my 27 years of life on earth this is the only song (besides peace of mind) that makes me bawl every time I hear it. Even when I was 14 it made me cry.

Kanye brought me here

This is 100% dropping tomorrow from Kanye, excited to see what he does with it

Nothing can be done against the truth
no matter how we remain in denial, yeah
Wasting time, replacing time with each empty excuse
but that'll only work a little while
Coping with despair, knowing you're not there
ashamed to just admit I've been a fool
So I blame it on the son, run away from everyone
hoping to escape this ridicule
Trapped in misery, wrapped so miserably
and this deception, I wear it like a skin
Dying to maintain, oh I keep trying to explain
a heart that never loved me to begin
Oh I'm such a mess, I have no choice but to confess
that I've been desperately trying to belong
Lieing to myself and everybody else
refusing to admit my right was wrong


And then he came
Selah, oh and it means
Praise and meditation, and then he came
Selah, oh and it means
Did you think about that, and then he came
Selah, oh and it means
Praise and meditation, and then he came
Selah, oh and it means
That it is seen


How beautiful is fruit still in denial of its roots
my guilty heart behaves so foolishly
This treason from within that reasons with my sin
won't be happy till it sees the death of me
Selfishly addicted to a life that I depicted
conflicted cause it's not reality
Oh what's left of me, I beg you desperately
cause me to agree with what I know is best for me
Please save me from myself, I need you, save me from myself
please save me from myself so I can heal
The chocies that I've made, oh have been nothing but mistakes
what a wasted use of space, should I die before I wake
In all of my religion, I've fortified this prison
obligated to obey the demands of bad decisions
Please save me from myself, I need you
save me from myself, please save me from myself so I can heal


And then he came
Selah, oh and it means
Praise and meditation, and then he came
Selah, oh and it means
Did you think about that, and then he came
Selah, oh and it means
Praise and meditation, and then he came
Selah, oh and it means
That it is seen


And then he came
And then he came, then he came, then he came
And then he
And then he came

Here before Kanye uses it on JESUS IS KING

2019♥️

Nothing. The truth is same even if we change. The WORD of I AM the GOD of the universe. Power in everyway.His WORD never returns void its manifestation in us . We are his canvus in progress.

She sings so Gracefully and inspires spiritual awareness in the hearts of everyone.
I adore her!
God Bless You Lauren ❤

Ahayah the God of the Hebrews said let my people go the so called Blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans the children of Israel the real Jews of the Bible. The plagues are coming on all nations. America symbol is the eagle and will be destroyed by nuclear fire before Christ returns. Repent or else (Revelation 2:16)

Oh.........

She never fails to amaze me <3

Whatever it is that she represents, she does it so well. I’d just love to talk to her one day.

Should I die before I wake...deep, sistah - L.Hill.

Does anyone wonder wonder why there are so many missing. With REAL about it??????

Everytime i listen to anything by Lauryn...i just thank God for her wisdom! What an amazing woman!

Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood brought me here

Nice sincere track

This treason from within that reasons with my sin won’t be happy till it see’s the death of me... please save me from myself... asking for help is not weakness... I believe it’s strength...

If you're reading this, you're lucky for finding this song. It's underappreciated gem.

This is so beautifully made😢❤️❤️

God is Wonderful! Working through and in Lauryn Hill powerful songs she is one of a kind artist/God fearing Queen of Truth

She so bad wow.!!!!!!

Thawadah Lauryn hill

I don't want to belong to he'll with them. I got my GOD so what.

This is the only song that stops my baby from crying. Ever since he was born I have played it for him. Now anytime he is very upset, he will literally fall asleep to this. It soothes my soul as well ❤️

🌹♥️ Happy Birthday Momma ♥️🌹

HOW CAN I EXPRESS HOW MUCH THIS SONG WITNESSES TO MY HEART...Lauryn is a True vessel of the Most High....and Heavy is the head who wears the crown....may the saturated Love and Boldness of the Holy Spirit keep and protect your written house Ms Lauryn..the bronze Eve i call her :-)

L Boogie speaks only truth.

A Prayer.

<3 its been a while

FKKKNNNNN LUV THIS SONG Peace from NewZealand!!

This song choice was perfect in Divine Secrets of the YaYa sisterhood.

Time to remind the anonymous benefactors that the ex factor isn’t worth a lick to Burlington coat factory when yall instigate drama, pressure and hating behind loves disguise. #DontStartNoShit #ThereWontBeNoShit

But if they wanna go toe to toe they probably should have not tried to step on my TOES.

“I’mma put my foot so far up your ass the sweat on my knee will quench your thirst” - lol ...Major Payne #ISingIDreamILoveAnyway

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’m listening to this song still in 2018, it has become my healing song.

Please save me from myself so I can heal.

You are love, Queen 💋

Lauryn thank u from my good ❤to your good 💓keep on moving dont stop

Forgie me Lauryn for I did not know the genius I was watching when you performed this live on Mtv Unplugged

Next level!

simply beautiful

Lions are like not having a Virginia to call your glory. Trying to fit in with the majority knowing your a leader. Life is a issue we all have to deal with foes as though it's ok that our Lions be ripped out.

Kanye West life would of been different if she would of did tht song for him.. All Falls Down...

when you come back to listen to lauryn and realize just how trash most other artist are... Wow!

This song is dope

Lmao so does she have a song for damian

This song expresses what I'm going thru....this song soothes me ...Lord save me from myself...

And then he came🙌🏻

The guitar chords seem easy.

This song is so soothing

my name is selah

Lauryn Hill

Love this song

Shalom sister prais

her own daughter's name is selah.

I just got back from seeing her, no she didn't play all my favorites but she put on a great show in DFW, love that sound! ❤

If I ever have a daughter her name will be Selah 💙!

My song 😌

there is a mixtape of her???

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

this song gives me so much peace. i love it

2017 and i'm still listening to this.

2019 and still listening 😏

please save me from myself so i can heal

My daughter is 5 years old and she says "Selah" a lot. She names all of her baby dolls that while playing with them. I hear it at least once a day. One day my brother called and we were talking, he was going through what one may call an existential crisis, he was AWOL and spent days in a hotel room listening to this song. He sent me this link says prior to going AWOL. I never listened to it bc I knew it would have an extraordinary emotional effect on me. I just felt it. I listened now for the first time and I'm happy I did.

.selah it mean's praise and meditation....go on Lauryn....so spiritual and righteous....a true one in a million soulful queen we need Lauryn's spirit to guide us through her art ...music for the soul...soul food ...#pleasebringbackrealmusic

She lost her career because she chose to make music for GOD to wake her people up and focus on being a mother. May GOD bless this woman 1,000,000 times over!

i feel you,, she aint "lose" nothen though! she only gained.. she only lost acournding to the standards who chase things that dont really matter. lauryn is the realist to ever hold a mic

No she didn't

I don't think Lauren Hill lost her career. She just performed here in L.A.

SHALOM!!

Omg, this song! I just love it!

"save me from myself...so that i can heal"

Amen! I pray that all the time.

Look up True Nation 12 class lessons. Or I.U.I.C Israelites.

Ohhhhohhh. :)
I always thought she said " Save me from myself so I can hear You."

who came from Sean Grandillo's broadcast? :)

😭😘
