I Look to You by Whitney Houston is featured in Grilled Cheesus, the third episode of Season Two. It is sung by Mercedes with Quinn and Tina singing back-up vocals.
Mercedes sings this song because she doesn't know what to say to Kurt, whose father is in a coma at the time, explaining that she wants to express her thoughts through song. It is after this performance that Kurt informs the club of his lack of religious beliefs, although he says he enjoyed Mercedes' voice.
Mercedes (Quinn and Tina):
As I lay me down
Heaven hear me now
I'm lost without a cause
After giving it my all
Winter storms have come
And darkened my sun
After all that I've been through
Who on earth can I turn to?
I look to You,
I look to You
After all my strength is gone
In You I can be strong
I look to You,
I look to You
Yeah
And when melodies are gone
In You I hear a song
I look to You
You
About to lose my breath
There's no more fighting left
Sinking to rise no more
Searching for that open door
And every road that I've taken
Mmm
Led to my regret
And I don't know if I'm goin' make it
Nothing to do but lift my head
I look to You,
I look to You
Yeah
And when all my strength is gone
In You I can be strong
I look to You,
I look to You
Ohhh
And when melodies are gone
Yeah
In You I hear a song
I look to You (My levees are broken)
Levees are broken (My walls are coming)
Walls come down (Tumbling down on me)
Coming down on me (The rain is falling)
Rain is falling (Defeat is calling)
'feat is calling (I need you to set me free)
Need You to set me free
Send me far away from the battle
I need You
Shine on me
I look to You
I look to You
After all my strength is gone
In You I can be strong
I look to You (To You)
I look to You, ohhh, oooh (Oh-oh-oh)
And when melodies are gone, yeah (Melodies are gone)
In You I hear a song
I look to You
Yeah
I look to You
Oooh
I look to You
