Rev. W.R. "Smokie" Norful, Jr. is an American gospel singer and pianist, best known for his 2002 album, I Need You Now and his 2004 release, Nothing Without You, which won a Grammy at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards for Best Contemporary Soul Gospel Album in 2004.
Norful, a minister who is also the son of an African Methodist Episcopal Church minister, was born in Little Rock, Arkansas but grew up in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, deeply involved in his father's church. He was interested in music from a very young age, reportedly picking out one-finger piano melodies from the age of four. His parents supported him with music lessons, and, unusual for his background, allowed him to experiment with and listen to the current R&B and soul music of the day as well as gospel music. Norful attended Pine Bluff High School, where he occasionally performed in school assemblies and programs. Norful graduated from the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff as a History major and spent four years teaching high school at Jack Robey in Pine Bluff,AR . In 1998 he felt a calling to the ministry of the gospel, and pursued a Master of Divinity degree at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston, Illinois. While working toward ordination in the A.M.E. (African Methodist Episcopal) church, he took a position as assistant pastor at a church in Chicago. He currently pastors Victory Cathedral Worship Center in Romeoville, IL, which he founded on September 20, 2005.
Kim Victoria Fields (born May 12, 1969) is an American actress, singer and television director. She is known for her roles as Tootie Ramsey on the NBC sitcom The Facts of Life, and as Regine Hunter on the Fox sitcom Living Single. She is the daughter of actress/director Chip Fields and the older sister of actress Alexis Fields.
Before appearing on Facts of Life, Fields starred on a short-lived sitcom called Baby, I'm Back and appeared in a commercial for Mrs. Butterworth's pancake syrup. She later appeared on Good Times as a friend of Penny Gordon Woods. Her real life mother, Chip Fields, starred on Good Times as the mother of Janet Jackson's character, Penny. Yet mother and daughter Fields never starred in the same episodes. Kim's episodes on Good Times were "The Snow Storm" and "The Physical".
Fields' most remembered role was that of Tootie on the sitcom The Facts of Life. From 1979 to 1988, she played Tootie Ramsey on the show. Even decades later, many still recognize her catchphrase, "We are in trou-ble!" She was also known for the braces she wore on the series for five seasons. When the show began filming, Fields was so short that the producers put her in roller skates during the first season so that they could avoid difficult camera angles. Ironically, she had lost a role as Arnold Jackson's girlfriend on The Facts of Life's parent show, Diff'rent Strokes, because she was taller than Gary Coleman, who played Arnold.
Thomas "Tom" Joyner (born November 23, 1949) is an American radio host, host of the nationally syndicated The Tom Joyner Morning Show, and also founder of REACH Media Inc., the Tom Joyner Foundation, and BlackAmericaWeb.com.
Joyner was born in Tuskegee, Alabama, and received a degree in sociology from Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University). While a student at Tuskegee Joyner joined the fraternity Omega Psi Phi.
He began his broadcasting career in Montgomery, Alabama immediately upon graduation, and worked at a number of radio stations in the American South, before moving to Chicago at WJPC (AM) (now WNTD).
In the mid-1980s, Joyner was simultaneously offered two positions: one for a morning show at KKDA-FM (K104) in Dallas and one for an afternoon show at WGCI-FM in Chicago. Instead of choosing between the two, Joyner chose to take both jobs, and for years he commuted daily by plane between the two cities, earning the nicknames "The Fly Jock" and "The Hardest Working Man in Radio." He later told Radio Ink magazine that he racked up 7 million frequent flyer miles over the course of his employment at both stations
You know, I was looking at the condition of the world the other day
Seems there's too much killing, too much dying, too much pain
I don't know about you, but I'm tired
Tired of the same old sad song
Sittin' at the window of life
Watching the world go by
Seeing little brothers and sisters
With pain and fear in their eyes
Wishing I could take them
And make them all my own
Giving them hope and peace
Instead of that same old sad song
I will sing unto you a new song, song about love and peace and joy
For every man, girl, and boy, and I'm tired about the perils of this life
Seems the world is only moaning and groaning, with misery and strife
It's the same old sad song, yeah, yeah, yeah
Saw an old man on the street
Hurting and so in need
Wish I could take the whole world
And place it at his feet
I wish I could change his world
And give him a brand new talk
Giving him health and joy
Instead of that same old sad song
I will sing unto you a new song, song about love and peace and joy
For every man, girl, and boy, and I'm tired about the perils of this life
Seems the world is only moaning and groaning, with misery and strife
It's the same old sad song, yeah, yeah, yeah
I will sing a new song, yeah
A song for the whole world to see
I will lift my voice and cry out
Telling them that you're all they need, yeah
You give them love, joy, peace
A little understanding
That will never, ever fade
I will sing a new song, a song for the whole world to see hey, yeah
Just give Him your burdens, then you can sing a new song
Give God your problems, yeah, and you will sing a new song
Give Him your heartaches, you will sing a new song

I have decided
Determined, I'm committed
That I'll run
No matter the cost
And I have decided
Determined, I'm committed
That I'll run
Even though at times I may get lost
I'm going to finish my race
I'm going to take my proper place
In the winning circle
I'm going to run anyway
I don't know where or when or how
But I know that I'm going to make it
Ohh, I'll run this race
Nestled safely in amazing grace
I've made up my mind and I don't have much time
But I'll run, till I finish
I'm going to run this race
I'm going to take my proper place
In the winning circle
And I'm going to run anyway
I don't know where, I don't know when or how
But I know
I'm going to make it
Ohh, I'll run this race
Nestled safely in amazing grace
I made up my mind, I don't have much time
So I'll run, till I finish
Ohh, I made up my mind
I don't have much time
But I'm gonna run
I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run till I finish
Yeah, I made up my mind
I don't have much time
I know that when you look at me
There's so much that you just don't see
But if you would only take the time
I know in my heart you'd find
Oh! A girl who's scared sometimes
Who isn't always strong?
Can't you see the hurt in me
I feel so all alone
I wanna run to you
I wanna run to you
Won't you hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm
I wanna run to you
But if I come to you
Tell me, will you stay
Or will you run away
Each day, each day I play the role
Of someone always in control
But at nights, I come home and turn the key
There's nobody there, no one cares for me
Oh! What's the sense
Of trying hard to find your dreams
Without someone to share it with
Tell me what does it mean
I wanna run to you
I wanna run to you
Won't you hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm
I wanna run to you
But if I come to you
Tell me, will you stay
Or will you run away
Oh, I need you here, I need you here
To wipe away my tears
To kiss away my fears
No, if you only knew
How much I wanna run to you
And I wanna run to you
Oh, won't you hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm
I'll run to you
But if I come to you
Tell me, will you stay
I was going through life
I was carrying a heavy load
Even though I wore a smile like a clown
My burdens were to oheavey for me to hold
But now Imade up my mind
I ain't walking looking down at the floor
Stand up and put my chin in the air
cause I gota let hte whole world know
God gave me (Power!)
That makes me feel the way I do (Power!)
Listen you can feel the same way too (Power!)
When I couldn't make it God showed me how (Power!)
Point to yourself and say I'm alright now
I'm reminded of the day
When I thought I would loose my mind
My head was spinning like a merry-go-round
Felt like I was running out of time
Now I made up my mind ain't walking looking down at the floor
Stand up, put my chin in the air
cause I gotta let the whole world know
For those who feel like giving in
And the enemy is defeating you
I've got good news from glory
Jesus gave you that same power too!
You can make it, you can make it
It's time to worship Jesus
It's time to honor Him
It's time to bless the Lord right now
Stand up and worship Jesus
Stand up and honor Him
Stand up and bless the Lord right now
Chorus:
I will bless the Lord at all times
And His praises shall continually be in my mouth
Yes it's time
It's time
Right now it's time
It's time to praise the Lord
Right now
Right now
Right now
Right now
Come on and worship Jesus
come on and honor Him
Come on and bless the Lord right now
Clap your hands and worship Jesus
Clap your hands and honor Him
Clap your hands and bless the Lord right now
Chorus
Don't wait until tomorrow
Give Him the praise today
Magnify the Lord with me right now
This is our time together
That we will never see again
So everybody bless the Lord right now
Chorus
It's time to worship
It's time to honor
It's time to thank Him
Bless the Lord right now
(repeat 4xs)
I have no sun, no moon, no stars, no clouds
No day or night, nothing is right
If I don't have you
I have no hills, no mountains, no valleys, no plains
No plateaus, nothing goes
If I don't have you
There is no reason any season of the year
To live without the one I love
And cherish so dear
And no amount of anything
Can replace the joy you bring
I have nothing, if I don't have you
There is no joy, no peace, no love for me
No one to care unconditionally
If I don't have you
There's no west, no east
No understanding, no peace
No one that makes my very heartbeat
If I don't have you
I have no life, no death, no air to breathe
Not even a single thing to be
If I don't have you
You gave me everything I'd ever need
You are the true definement of my destiny
Every since you've been a part of my life
My whole world has changed
You see, there's nothing undone
There are no battles unwon
No burdens that we cannot overcome
You are the beginning, you will surely be the last
My whole world starts and ends with you
You are the Alpha, you are the Omega
There is nothing that can take your place
When I think about all you've done for me
How you came and made my life complete
If it had not been for the Lord on my side
Without you Lord I surely would have died
I have nothing
Absolutely positively nothing
As a little boy I used to dream of the big stage
Couldn't wait to see my name in lights
I had a dream so big, it made a mountain look small
Couldn't wait till I had it all
The closer I'd get, the more distant I'd feel
The more I thought I had, the less it all seemed real
Suddenly I found, the only thing for me that counts
And I can't imagine my life without you
Chorus:
Once in a lifetime, you find a love you know is real
Once in a lifetime, you find something that makes your song live
Once in a lifetime, you find a friendship that's worth the wait
Once in a lifetime, you find joy you can't replace
I used to think that it was the trophies on my wall
Thought if I won then I'd have it all
And I couldn't wait till everybody knew my name
I had my own idea of fame
The closer I'd get, the more distant I'd feel
The more that I thought I had, the less it all seemed real
Suddenly I found, the only thing for me that counts
And I can't imagine my life without you
Chorus:
Once in a lifetime, you find a love you can't let go
Once in a lifetime, you find the purpose to live on
Once in a lifetime, you find the meaning of your dreams
And once in a lifetime, you find the one who gives life meaning
Once in a lifetime, you find a love you know is real
Once in a lifetime, you find something that makes your song live
Once in a lifetime, you find a friendship that's worth the wait
Once in a lifetime, you find joy you can't replace
Once in a lifetime, I've found the best thing I know
Once in lifetime ,there's no sign of letting go
Once in a lifetime, I wouldn't change a single thing
Once in a lifetime, you made my whole world sing
I'll never look beyond your love again
Because I know what I've found is truth
Though I've searched in every place to find the thing that makes life complete,
[Chorus]
Justified me
Glorified me
Paid my ransom and
I've been redeemed by his blood
Go to calvary
I've been made free
Despite my enemy
I thank god im justified
[Verse 1]
Paid a price
For my life
And all that was wrong
His love made it right
Now what greater sign
Can any man show
That know with his own blood
He made me whole
[Chorus]
Justified me
Glorified me
Paid my ransom and
I've been redeemed by his blood
Go to calvary
Ive been made free
Despite my enemy
I thank god im justified
[Verse 2]
If my sins had their way
I never would have made it
With a debt i just couldn't afford to pay
He came and saved me
When the enemy said that i couldn't
God said go ahead because you're covered by me awesome
Awesome powerful blood
[Brigde]
Though I
I should've been dead
And never kept alive
God's grace and his mercy
Were on every side
When it looks like i can't
God says i can
And he won't let me fall
In the enemy's hand
[SMOKIE]
I'm just glad to know that god saved me
His grace and his mercy
They watched over me all night long
If it had not been
If it had not been
If it had not been
If it had not been
If it had not been
For the lord that was on my side
Listen i got some testimonies listen
Just like ninevah that was headed for destruction god stepped in and he said
(not guilt)
You gonna live and you won't see the day of destruction
(ooh ooh ooh)
Just like daniel who was condemned to the lion's den god said
(not guilt)
You're gonna live
(you're gonna live yeah)
Just like david who was dearly beloved inspite of god said
(not guilt)
Yeah
(let's talk about you)
If you be honest with yourself tonight
If it hadn't been for the grace of god
You would've been
You could've been
Yeah
Listen
To the Liar
To the Cheater
To the Deciever
Even to the Believer
There is their point no condemnation to them that are in christ jesus
Yeah yeah
Some of ya'll got it twisted
Listen
If it hadn't been for god
(god did it)
You wouldn't have made it
Don't get confused about who kept you
(god did it)
When the enemy said that i couldn't
god did it
(god did it)
When my haters said that i wouldn't
god did it
(god did it)
I thought we'd never get out of the poor house but
(god did it)
I thought we'd never see the white house but im claiming it
(god did it)
And if you be honest
He's been over your house
(god did it)
Every grateful heart just bless his name
(god did it)
Who delivered you
(god did it)
Be honest about it
Who kept you
yeah
(god did it)
Come on and testify who brought you
(god did it)
Just shout god did it
(god did it)
Point to heaven and give him glory
god did it
(god did it)
Come on and testify
(god did it)
One more time
if your praise is ringing say
god did it
(god did it)
hey yeah yeah
(God did it)

Can't nobody do me like Jesus - Can't nobody ever come and take His place - Can't nobody do me like Jesus - Northing ever stays the same - Everything changes - Everytime I call His name-- Lord I wonder who would cover me - When I found myself standing all alone - The ones I trusted they didn't love me - Cause when I looked around - My family and friends were gone - Mama told me where my help comes from - And when things get rough - I know just where to go - There's a peace that I jst can't explain - For those who don't know - It ain't nothing but the Holy Ghost --

Life is not promised to anyone
There'll be a way
I've got somethin' I wanna say
I need to ask you some things
About what life has offered you
The ice, the cars, those things
It really don't mean a thing
What does it mean to gain the world
And in the end lose your soul
(Soul!)
I think I outta let you know
That these things don't last for life
Life's not promised to anyone
Live today and love someone
Don't live life so critical
Make up for your miracle
Life's not promised to anyone
Live today and love someone
Don't live life so critical
Make room for your miracle
Show me something greater than love
And I'll show you the greatest mistake
'Cause love can't be explained
You gotta give it everyday
Family's all we have
And the Lord is truly all we need
If it had not been for him
Tell me where would we be
Life's not promised to anyone

You know,
I was looking at the condition of the world
the other day
Seems there's too much killing,
too much dying, too much pain
I don't know about you, but I'm tired
Tired of the same old sad song
Sittin' at the window of life
Watching the world go by
Seeing little brothers and sister
With pain and fear in their eyes
Wishing I could take them
And make them all my own
Giving them hope and peace
Instead of that same old sad song
I will sing unto you a new song
A song about love and peace and joy
For every man, girl, and boy
And I'm tired of singing about the perils of this life
Seems the world is only moaning and groaning
With misery and strife
It's the same old sad song
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Saw an old man on the street
Hurting and so in need
Wish I could take the whole world
And place it at his feet
I wish I could change his world
And give him a brand new talk
Giving him health and joy
Instead of that same old sad song
I will sing unto you a new song
A song about love and peace and joy
For every man, girl, and boy
And I'm tired about the perils of this life
Seems the world is only moaning and groaning
With misery and strife
It's the same old sad song
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I will sing a new song
A song for the whole world to see
I will lift my voice and cry out
Telling them that you're all they need
Give them hope, joy, peace
A little understanding
That will never, ever fade
I will sing a new song
A song for the whole world to see
Hey, yeah
Just give him your burdens
Then you can sing a new song
Give God your problems
And you will sing a new song
Give him your heartaches
You will sing a new song
Give God your Trials
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's the same old sad song
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Tired of the same old, same old sad song
God is able,God is able
God is able and He won't fail
Tell me who can make a mountain
Move out of my way
And who can make a miracle
Because of my faith
And when the doctor says no
Who can still say yes
And when I'm in trouble
Who's right there to help me pass every test
God is able,God is able
God is able and He won't fail
Tell me who can make a river
Out of a little stream
And who can tell the clouds
To roll back so that the sun can look at me
And who can tell the wind to whistle through the trees
And when I'm in trouble who is the same God
That will come down and rescue me
God is able,God is able
God is able and He won't fail
He won't fail
He won't fail
Don't you dare give up
Don't you dare give in
God wont fail
God is able,God is able
Tell you God is able and He won't
God won't,He won't fail
God won't,He'll never leave
Never forsake you
No He won't fail
He'll be there till the end
Chorus
Celebrate, for the day of the Lord
Give thanks, for all that he has done
Your struggle, is now finished
The battle is fought and the victory is won
Chorus
Verse 1
I'm a winner I'm no longer in the dark
No more will I walk around in defeat
I will rejoice at all times
For I know that my God is with me
Chorus
Verse 2
I win cause I'm on the Lord's side
And I shout for the victory he provides
There's nothing that can turn me back now
For I know that my God is with me
Chorus
Special
For I wrestle not with weapons of this world
But against, principalities
For God has overcome and delivered me
Victory

What kind of God can make the morsels of snow, fall from a gray sky
What kind of God can weave the tapestry of a rainbow, and sketch it into a we sky
It's no wonder how he can do, every little thing he does for me
If it hadn't been for you, where would I be?
What kind of God can give you a vision, and create a skyscraper tall
What kind of God can use the pattern of color, and give it a name like fall
It's no wonder how he can do, every little thing he does for me
If it hadn't been for you, where would I be?
I'd be at the bottom when you told me there's a place at the top for me
I'd be on the back side when you showed me there's a place in the front I should be
I'd be on the outside looking in when, you've prepared me a table for kings
If it hadn't been for you, where would I be?
What kind of God can take my fragile and wounded heart, fill it with unconditional love
What kind of God can take away my guilt and shame, and give me grace to rise above
It's no wonder how he can do, every little thing he does for me
If it hadn't been for you, where would I be?
I'd be at the bottom when you told me there's a place at the top for me
I'd be on the back side when you showed me there's a place in the front I should be
I'd be on the outside looking in, when you've prepared me a table for kings
If it hadn't been for you, where would I be? (Repeat 2x)
I know the Lord will make a way
Yes He will

Yes He will
He'll make a wy for you
He will lead you safely through
I know the Lord will make a way
Yes He will
I have a Savior who I can tell all my troubles to
When I'm burdened and don't know what to do
I can go to Him in secret prayer
And I can leave all my burdens there
I know the Lord will make a way
Yes He will (9xs)
When I was sick and couldn't get well
He healed my body now I can tell
I know the Lord will make a way
Yes He will
Oh yes He will
When through the storm you're tossed about
I know the Lord,
He'll bring you out
I know the Lord will make a way
Jesus cried for my pain
Removed agony and strain
Lent His ear to my fear
There?s healing in His tears
There?s healing in His tears
Being both God and man
Who better would understand
Than the One who comforts me
And who died to set me free
Jesus cried for my pain
Removed agony and strain
Lent His ear to my fear
There?s healing in His tears
There?s healing in His tears
Just like He cried for Lazarus
Still today He cares for us
And when Jesus feels your pain
Nothing in your life remains the same
Jesus cried for my pain
Removed agony and strain
Lent His ear to my fear
There?s healing in His tears
There?s healing in His tears
Healing, healing
Healing, healing, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, healing
When you cried, when you were sad
When you were alone
I'm in the middle
When you were in need
When you couldn't see
I'm right there in the middle, in the middle of
I was there in the middle of your pain
I was there when you didn't know your right from wrong
I was there when your friends walked out on you
When you searched and found all of your family was gone
I was there, I heard every plea
I'll come running everytime
You can?t tell me, that the stars won?t come out at night
No, you can?t tell me, that the sun will refuse to shine
There?s nothing you can say or do, that will destroy my peace of mind
I?ve tried God for myself, and He?s with me every time
You can?t tell me that, that the doctors have the final say
No, you can?t tell me, that the Lord won?t make a way
There?s nothing you can say or do, that will take away my faith
Ever since I tried the Lord, nothing can take His place
I know too much about Him
And there?s nothing to make me doubt Him
Just as sure as I have life, oh, you can?t change my mind
Oh, you can?t tell me nothing, 'cause I know God for myself
You can?t tell me that, that a baby doesn?t cry
You can?t tell me, that June isn?t before July
There?s nothing you can say or do that will change my reality
You see, ever since I tried the Lord, I know He?s always with me
Oh, you can?t tell me, that He won?t step in and rescue me
You can?t tell me, that He didn?t die, just to set me free
Don?t try convincing me, that God isn't everything I need
Oh, you see, He?s faithful, when others are not
He?s a surest friend I?ve got
I know too much about Him
Yeah, and there?s nothing to make me doubt Him, oh
Just as sure as I have life, oh, no, you can?t change my mind
He's come through every time
I know too much about Him
Oh, and there?s nothing that'll make me doubt Him
You see, I've tried Him for myself, don't have to ask anybody else
Oh, you can't tell me nothing, I know God for myself
He?s proven Himself to be faithful unto me
If I?d never had any trials
Who knows, where I would be
Know too much about Him

Nothing to make me doubt Him
(And there's nothing that will make me doubt Him)
Just as sure as I have life, oh, nothing will ever change my mind
Oh, He's come through every time, every time, every time
(Every time, every time, every time)
I know too much about Him
(Nothing to make me doubt Him)
There?s nothing that will ever make me doubt Him
Oh, no, God, You've been so good to me, yeah
Oh, I've tried God for myself, and I don't have to ask anybody else
Oh, you can't, you can't tell me nothing
'Cause I know God, I know God for myself, yeah
He's been with me, yeah
Oh, when I didn't know how I would make it, God, you were there
Lord, I didn't think I could take it
You were there, You were there, You were there
Lord, I lift my hands
I extend myself to You
With Your arms stretched out wide
You pay the price, You bled and died

You've been so good that it's the least
Verse 1:
Every time I fall, He answers my call,
picks me up, dusts me off
and tells me to start over.
When I'm weak, He's my strength,
I really don't deserve it ,
but again and again
and again and again,
oh I'm grateful, truly grateful
for Your continuous grace.
Verse 2:
Everytime I call, He's always on time,
He dries my tears, He tells me I'm His,
lets me know that He's mine.
When I'm weak, He's my strength,
I really don't deserve it,
but again and again
and again and again,
oh I'm grateful, truly grateful
for Your continuous grace.
Chorus:
Again and again,
and again and again,
oh I'm grateful, truly grateful
for His continuous grace.
Again and again,
and again and again,
oh I'm grateful, truly grateful
for His continuous grace.
Lord, I don't deserve it.
Vamp 1:
I don't deserve it,
I'm really not worthy
for His continuous grace.
You can't see it,
but I'll achieve it,
because of His continuous grace.
Yes, I believe it,
and I receive it...
Vamp 2:
I receive it.
Ending:
Because of His continuous grace.
Sometimes I feel like giving up
It seems like my best just ain't good enough
Lord if you hear me, I'm calling you
Do you see, do you care all about what I'm going through
And then he says, one more day, one more step
See I'm preparing you for myself
And when you can't hear my voice, please trust my plan
I'm the Lord, I see and yes I understand
But sometimes I feel like I'm all alone
I'm just like a stranger so far from home
I feel like I've done all that I can do
Please Lord give me strength, I'm just trying to make it through
That's when he told me one more day, one more step
See I'm preparing you for myself

Hallelujah, thank You Jesus
You're worthy to be praised
Everytday I will thank Him
Every hour I will priase Him
All day long I will bless Him
Worthy to be praised
Everyday, everyday, everyday worthy to be praised.
Every hour, every hour, every hour worthy to be praised
Ummmmm you been good
If I never own a mansion
Way out on the hils
i'll never see riches
Lord I'll serve you still
If I lose all my possessions
And my health begins to fail
I can still say you've been good
If I wake up on tomorrow
Find that all of my love ones are gone
Look around and see that my friends are few
I'll still keep holding on
If i call and there's no answer
In the midst of my despair
I can still say Lord you been good
You been good oh yeah
Good, umm good (choir)
So as long as I live I'll tell the world God is good yeah oh
Good, ummm good (choir)
I'm so glad to say right now
God is good (choir)
If i never visit Paris and enjoy that midday sun
If I never sail the seven seas
Before my work out here is done, oh
If I never see the ruins
Of that city that they call ancient Rome
I'm not worried because I can still say God I know that you you been good
Lord you been good
Good, um good (choir)
As long as long as long as I live I'm going to tell the world that God is good
Lord you been good (choir)
Good, umm good (choir)

Good, umm good
Lord you been good
Good, umm good
So glad to say, God is
So glad to say, God is
So glad to say God is good
Not a second or another minute
Not an hour or another day
But at this moment with my arms outstretched
I need You to make a way
As You have done so many times before
Through a window or an open door
I stretch my hands to You
Come rescue me, I need You right away
I need You now
I need You now
I need You now
I need You now
Not another second or another minute
Not an hour or another day
But Lord I need You right away
If I never needed You before
To show up and restore
All of the faith that I let slip
While I was yet searching the world for more
The true best friend I have indeed
You’re my best friend I know indeed
I stretch my hands to thee
Come rescue me, I need You right away
The agony of being alone, fear of doing things on my own
The test and trials that come to make me strong
The feelings of guilt, hurt, shame, and defeat
The way the trials that beat upon me
But to know Lord that in You I’ve got victory
I need You now, Lord, I need You now
I need You right now, right now, right now
I need You now
Oh not another second
Not another minute, Lord
Can’t wait another day
Your words are more powerful than nature
You are stronger than the sea
And Your voice resounds like thunder
Yet Your Spirit nurtures me
You are wise enough to direct me, God
And You are holy enough to keep me
You are mighty enough to protect me, yeah
You are the light that I might see
What a mighty God we serve
Awesome ruler, God our protector
A mighty God we serve
Gentle redeemer, mighty is He
Your hand is full of mercy
And Your strength lifts every weight
Your words sip all throughout eternity
And Your loves cancels every hate, yeah
You are wise enough to direct me, oh God
You are holy enough to keep me
You are mighty enough to protect me, yes
You are the light that I might see
What a mighty God we serve
Awesome ruler, God our protector
A mighty God we serve
Gentle redeemer, mighty is He
What a mighty God we serve
Awesome ruler, God our protector
A mighty God we serve
Gentle redeemer, mighty is He
No weapon formed against me shall prosper
As long as God is with me
I know that I'm already victorious
His power has set me free
Mighty God, mighty God, mighty God is He
Mighty God, mighty God, mighty God is He
Mighty God, mighty God, mighty God is He
Mighty God, mighty God, mighty God is He
Mighty God, mighty God, mighty God is He
Mighty God, mighty God, mighty God is He
Mighty God, mighty God, mighty God is He
Mighty God, mighty God, mighty God is He
Mighty God, mighty God, mighty God is He
Mighty God, mighty God, mighty God is He
Say He's stronger, stronger, stronger, stronger
And He's mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty
And He's wiser, wiser, wiser, wiser
And He's loving, loving, forgiving, forgiving
He's stronger, stronger, stronger, stronger
Stronger, stronger, stronger, stronger
Stronger, stronger, stronger, stronger
Stronger, stronger, stronger, stronger
Mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty
Here we go, it's old school now, get ready
Put your hands together and get ready
To give God praise and glory in this place
Frustration mounting up on every side
Temptation trying to be my guide
Heartache has started speaking to me
But I declare right now in Jesus' name, I'm free
Every place that Satan had me bound
God has stepped in and turned it all around
This one thing I know I'm sure of, I know I've been delivered
I've been delivered, I've been set free
Every chain that the devil had on me
I've been released to walk in full potential
Can't hold me down, I'm going to the next level
This one thing I know I'm sure of, I know I've been delivered
Evil mounting up around my life
Tried to make me believe that day is now night
Trying to make me think that I've run out of time
The devil tried to make me lose my mind
But every place that Satan had me bound
God has stepped in and turned it all around
This one thing I know I'm sure of, I know I've been delivered
I've been delivered, I've been set free
Every chain that the devil had on me
I've been released to walk in full potential
Can't hold me down, I'm going to the next level
This one thing I know I'm sure of, I know I've been delivered
Now clap your hands like you know
Is there anybody that can declare
That you know that you're delivered tonight?
I am delivered, I am delivered
I am delivered, I am delivered
I am delivered, I am delivered

You can't tell me that the stars wont come out at night
No, you can't tell me that the sun will refuse to shine
There's nothing you can say or do that will destroy my peace of mind
I've tried God for myself and he's with me every time
You can't tell me that the doctors have the final say
No, you can't tell me that the Lord wont make a way
There's nothing you can say or do that will take away my faith
Ever since I tried the Lord nothing can take his place
I know too much about him
And there's nothing to make me doubt him
Just as sure as I have life, oh, you can't change my mind
Oh you can't tell me nothing, cause I know God for myself
You can't tell me that, that a baby doesn't cry
You can't tell me that June isn't before July
There's nothing you can say or do that will change my reality
See ever since I tried the Lord, I know he's always with me
Oh you can't tell me that he wont step in and rescue me
You can't tell me that he didn't die just to set me free
Don't try convincing me that God isn't everything I need
You see he's faithful with others are not, He's the surest friend I got
I know too much about him
And there's nothing to make me doubt him
Just as sure as I have life, no you can't change my mind
He's come through every time
I know too much about him
And there's nothing that will make me doubt him
See, I've tried him for myself, don't have to ask anybody else
Oh, you can't tell me nothing, I know God for myself
Oh, he's proven himself to be faithful unto me,
If I never had any trials, who knows where I would be
I know too much about him
And there's nothing that will make me doubt him
Just as sure as I have life, oh, nothing will make me change my mind
He's come through every time, every time, every time
Oh, I know too much about him
And nothing can make me doubt him
I've tried God for myself, and I know not to ask anybody else

and when times where a lil ruff god i know u were near
