Riley Clemmons - Better For It Lyrics






I wouldn't say I would've chosen it
That time I hit the bottom and it hurt a little bit
Funny how being down can make you look up
But now I'm better for it

All I could see in the moment was
My heart and how it felt ripped open, I'll admit
I found You down low in the brokenness
And now I'm better for it

I count it all as joy even when I'm in the flame
'Cause I know You always

Gimme, gimme, gimme grace when I need it
Hindsight 20/20, now I see that
You let me be where I've been
So I can be all that I am
You gimme, gimme, gimme faith to believe that
When it hurts, there's a real good reason
You let me be where I've been
So I can be all that I am
Better for it

Yeah, I used to think pain was a consequence
But now I kinda think it might be the perfect gift
You use to get me straight to You
And I'm better for it

I count it all as joy even when I'm in the flame
'Cause I know You always

Gimme, gimme, gimme grace when I need it
Hindsight 20/20, now I see that
You let me be where I've been
So I can be all that I am
You gimme, gimme, gimme faith to believe that
When it hurts, there's a real good reason
You let me be where I've been
So I can be all that I am
Better for it

Down low
Down in the broken
I found You
And I'm better for it
Down low
Down in the broken
I found You
And I'm better for it

I'm better 'cause I'll never have to be the way I would be
Without You, without You
Leading me where You want me
I'm better 'cause I'll never have to be the way I would be
Without You, without You
Leading me where You want me

Gimme, gimme, gimme grace when I need it
Hindsight 20/20, now I see that
You let me be where I've been
So I can be all that I am
You gimme, gimme, gimme faith to believe that
When it hurts, there's a real good reason
You let me be where I've been
So I can be all that I am
Better for it

Down low
Down in the broken
I found You
And I'm better for it
Down low
Down in the broken
I found You
And I'm better for it
Down low
Down in the broken
I found You
And I'm better for it
Down low
Down in the broken
I found You
And I'm better for it

    I gotta say my testimony since this song has been helping me. I'm fatherless since 2009 and now I am in depression with a boyfriend who has HPD and I have been cutting since November of last year (2018) and I know that God can heal me

    K.... W....

    You're never fatherless. In those ten years since you've been without a father, you've had an eternal father named Jesus, who's loved you since before the world was even made. Praying for you, sister.

  38. X.... L....

    MY TEACHER DAID U WENT TI MY SCHOOL OMG (i wont say the school name cs i still go their)

  39. B.... S....

    Great music, I loved it! God bless you. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

  40. R.... F....

    it's the betterest!

  41. C.... F....

    come to Cullman AL to perform i now your uncle.

  42. B.... F....

    20 years ago I never would've allowed myself to sing music with these kinds of lyrics, but now that I've been through the wringer, this song just resonates in the core of my spirit. To all those who are even remotely concerned about the way she sings/dances and whether it's distracting to you, just look for a version of this song that is lyrics-only like I did. I testify to this as a former pornography addict, that there is only so much a woman can do to not distract a man, and Riley has made a reasonable effort in this regard without quenching what I perceive to be the Holy Spirit moving upon her to show how God wants us to rejoice before Him in our own praise and worship. Did anyone else not notice that she's wearing something between a trench coat and a parka? At some point we have to take ownership of our eyes. Riley, God bless you, sister, and keep worshiping the King.

  43. B.... R....

    I am absolutely obsessed with this song! You go girl! ❤️

  44. m.... ....

    Play Adele's "Send my love to your new lover."

  45. C.... M....

    I love Riley Clemmons she is 19 years old

  46. K.... S....

    This is beautiful

  47. N.... M....

    nice jube your sage makes me feal better win mi sad 😊😍😃

  48. A.... C....

    that cord must be real long...

  49. M.... S....

    It's not the dancing that's wrong...even David danced for the Lord. It's the sugestive body movements. If you watched this video on mute and you didn't know she was a christian you'd see seduction in those moves. We have to be really careful and not to be imitating the world when they're supposed to see something in us worth imitating.

  50. L.... F....

    What is wrong with people ? she can dance for the lord if she wants to nothing wrong with that!! She is fully dressed and nothing like taylor swift ext !! GO RILEY, Blessings

  51. p.... ....

    You sing bad LOL!!!!!!!

  52. T.... S....

    I love this song and your voice, but the provocative way you're dancing seems a bit double-minded.

    T.... S....

    Theresa Scott don’t be ignorant

  53. A.... E....

    This is my new favorite song.

  54. A.... G....

    What's wrong with dancing and express herself to God, even king David used dancing, shouting, new methods of worship in his times to God he was a man after God's own heart

  55. M.... L....

    :-)happy wednesday this song just makes me want to conquer all the negative
    she is awesome

  56. D.... S....

    This needs more views.

  57. C.... N....

    Girl, I saw u in Denver and I was like....this lady here....fire! I got your album in rotation right now! I love it!

  58. I.... M....

    ❤ this song!!!!

  59. P.... Z....

    go Riley!🔥🔥🔥

  60. P.... P....

    At first i didnt like this song but it was the one song i wanted to listen to while my mom was in the hospital over the past few days.

  61. F.... O....

    Não consigo parar de ouvir essa música 😍

    F.... O....

    Ou também

  62. L.... ....

    I just wanna day keep up the great work

  63. S.... K....

    Not sure what moves everyone is talking about. She is signing about god, not swearing, she is a beautiful young woman being herself, Just because she is beautiful, doesn't mean she is trying to sex it up. People read into things to much. She could be like Halsey, or Kesha but she has chosen to create music for god. smh.

    S.... K....

    Singing about god or not, this sounds like a stereotypical modern pop tune, which I hate having to hear on the radio.

    S.... K....

    Last I remember she's making a music video come on guys let's get are head out of the clouds

  64. M.... D....

    Danggggg!!!! She the rockstar , I just found her a while ago. Glad I did. Lots of love from India🙏

  65. C.... M....

    Who said Christian music had to be boring? This song is upbeat and the lyrics are uplifting and it's amazing.

  66. j.... d....

    who is the drummer in this video

  67. K.... G....

    Hey your song is playing as A Future hit on the Weekend Top 20 Countdown!!!!! So awesome haha.

  68. T.... F....

    It is a bit provocative, and a could be a little misleading for new believers. It is represented as a secular music video, and if we have to ask questions about something like this and it's is supposed to be something for the Lord then there is an issue, a red flag raises up. Because when you serve and you allow Him to show what He needs to show you you will began to see Him in everything that He has His hands on. In this day and age expressing yourself and the way you do it no matter how it is done it's okay. For those of you who don't have a true relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ won't understand unless He reveals it to that there are ways to do certain things, and also this work we do for God is not about us but Him only so that He can be glorified! When you give up your will(not your person, and who you are but the sin that has tainted you) for His Will. So,yes, there are ways that we should bring things forward, especially if it is for the Lord God, Christ Jesus! We as the Church want to be so much like the world AND still be Christ-like at the same time you may hate my speech for what I am saying but it's truth and that's Who we serve right? That you can't do both! Christ doesn't have fellowship with Satan,Baal, or Allah(darkness, evil, see 2 Corinthians 11-18 just in case you are looking for scriptural reference 😊.) I am not saying however that you cannot dance, but we must make sure that we are representing Christ in the way the HE desires not the way we want because our ways are tainted by sin without Him included. 🤷 That's why He is the Righteous One in our relationship with Him not us! And so no one will say this no hate against my sister Riley! Only Love! Love is Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ IS Truth in which He spoke in every occasion, He speaks to the Pharisees putting them in their place and they were supposed to be followers of God, the Way in which He was. He only did it out of Love, Love tells what you need to hear not what you WANT to hear. Much love to you Riley, and all who reads this! In Jesus Mighty Name Amen! 🙏🙌😍

    T.... F....

    Last I remember she's making a music video not a entertainment for you she's singing to the Lord anyway she can express herself hey David did it I wouldn't say that that's bad for beginners because whatever way it has to be you start off then so be it I think it's wonderful music she should do more and do it in church I can't help that people hate keep that hating you but don't hit on her after all that's why she has her body and you have yours and you can do what you want and she's going to do what she wants for the lord don't worry Riley Cummings I got your back...

  69. C.... C....

    Music video is just okay. THE SONG AND THE VOICE IS ONE IN A MILLION. Thanks, it's so right on. We are the clay, God is the potter. We don't know what He's making, just go with it and realize us and Him, with His son (it's Christ in you, the HOPE OF GLORY), where we go, where we walk is HALLOWED GROUND and God will bring fruit from our lives. We won't see the fullness until the next life.

  70. J.... ....

    I was excited to find this song after hearing it on the radio, but the way you were dancing was too sensual. Your body doesn't have to move in a sensual manner to be dancing and having fun. Not trying to harp, but we are supposed to keep each other accountable and the body movements in this song seem like they could be very distracting. All in love, of course. And you have amazing talent, just remember that you should become known for your message of Christ and not your body movements :)

  71. m.... ....

    How long is that microphone cord? I never saw its end, and it never got tangled.

  72. J.... J....

    peeps! you guys need to stop arguing about stupid stuff!!!!!!! THIS is a beautiful song and there is nothing "vulgar" with her moves....she's barely moving, yea its a bit there but she is doing nothing crazy....

  73. S.... B....

    ASHER POSTMASTER

  74. I.... O....

    Simply A M A Z I N G!

  87. Y.... A....

    It’s awesome to see talented artists that are on fire for God!

  88. Y.... A....

    She is awesome! God is Good!

  89. J.... R....

    👍👍👍👍

  90. A.... D....

  91. R.... K....

    I know all the lyrics!

  92. R.... K....

    Riley you helped me get through my hard times when my grand pa does i love you so much thanks

  93. J.... E....

    Love your voice, but there is too much body shaking : ( I am all for dancing but you are literally swinging your hips and chest and accentuating your mouth. You have to be careful to not mix flesh with Spirit.

  94. G.... M....

    I see a lot of talent, but used somewhat mistakenly when it comes to praising and worshiping the Creator in words, for it is a temple of the Holy Spirit and He must appear through us

  95. Q.... A....

    I love this song

  96. T.... S....

    She’s obviously feeling the music and there’s nothing wrong with her expressing herself through song AND dance. Honestly, this song makes me want to dance the same way. It’s upbeat and catchy. Why does her video have to be plain and boring just because it’s about God? Don’t be so uptight and judge her for expressing herself the way she wants to. She’s fully clothed and her style of dance is not the slightest bit distasteful. Nothing wrong with this at all. Be you, Riley! ❤️👏🏼

    T.... S....

    I agree with you. She is awesome and only God should judge her, not us

    T.... S....

    There's nothing wrong with her dancing, and I don't get why people think there is. We have to find joy in worshipping the Lord, and dance for him. Even kings like David danced for the Lord, so who are we not to dance for him?

    T.... S....

    I agree I cant see anything wrong with her dance.

    T.... S....

    Wow these comments are horrible, it is NOT our place to judge. God knows her true intentions because he see's her heart, the dancing to me was not 'sexy' at all she was just feeling the music. Some of you clearly have forgotten that she is also a performer.
