God is either the sole deity in monotheism or the monist deity in polytheism. God is most often conceived of as the supernatural creator and overseer of the universe. Theologians have ascribed a variety of attributes to the many different conceptions of God. The most common among these include omniscience (infinite knowledge), omnipotence (unlimited power), omnipresence (present everywhere), omnibenevolence (perfect goodness), divine simplicity, and eternal and necessary existence.
God has also been conceived as being incorporeal (immaterial), a personal being, the source of all moral obligation, and the "greatest conceivable existent". These attributes were all supported to varying degrees by the early Jewish, Christian and Muslim theologian philosophers, including Maimonides,Augustine of Hippo, and Al-Ghazali, respectively. Many notable medieval philosophers and modern philosophers have developed arguments for and against the existence of God.
God has many names, and different names are attached to different cultural ideas about who God is and what his aspects are. "I Am that I Am," written in Hebrew as "Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh," is the name considered to be one God originally gave to himself. The name YHVH, also called the "Tetragrammaton," is an initialism of unknown components, used as a name for God. The names Yahweh and Jehovah, are used by some Christians as a vocalization of YHVH, but in Judaism it is common to refer to God by the titular names Elohim or Adonai (cf. Names of God in Judaism). In Arabic, the name Allah ("the God") is used, and because of the predominance of Islam among Arab speakers, the name "Allah" has connotations with Islamic faith and culture (cf. God in Islam). Muslims regard a multitude of titular names for God (cf. Names of God in Islam).

Michael Brant Shermer, PhD (born September 8, 1954 in Glendale, California, USA) is an American science writer, historian of science, founder of The Skeptics Society, and Editor in Chief of its magazine Skeptic, which is largely devoted to investigating pseudoscientific and supernatural claims. The Skeptics Society currently has over 55,000 members. Shermer also engages in debates on topics pertaining to pseudoscience and religion in which he promulgates the need for scientific skepticism.
Shermer is also the producer and co-host of the 13-hour Fox Family (now ABC Family) television series Exploring the Unknown. Since April 2001, he has been a monthly columnist for Scientific American magazine with his Skeptic column. Shermer states he was once a fundamentalist Christian, but converted from a belief in God during his graduate studies, and has described himself as an agnostic,nontheist,atheist and advocate for humanist philosophy as well as the science of morality. He has expressed reservations about such labels, however, as he sees them being used in the service of "pigeonholing", and prefers to simply be called a skeptic.
Deepak Chopra (Hindi: दीपक चोपड़ा; born October 22, 1946) is an Indian-born, American physician, public speaker, and writer. He is generally specialized in subjects such as spirituality, Ayurveda and mind-body medicine. Chopra began his career as an endocrinologist and later shifted his focus to alternative medicine. He now runs his own medical center with a focus on mind-body connections.[clarification needed] He is also a lecturer at the Update in Internal Medicine event.
Chopra was an assistant to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi before starting his own career in the late 1980s by publishing self-help books on New Age spirituality and alternative medicine. A friend of Michael Jackson for 20 years, Chopra criticized the "cult of drug-pushing doctors, with their co-dependent relationships with addicted celebrities", saying that he hoped Jackson's death, attributed to an overdose of a prescription drug, would be a call to action.
Chopra was born in New Delhi, India. His father, Krishan Chopra (1919–2001) was a prominent Indian cardiologist, and head of the department of medicine and cardiology at Mool Chand Khairati Ram Hospital, New Delhi, for over 25 years, He was also a lieutenant in the British army. His paternal grandfather was a sergeant in the British Army, who looked to Ayurveda for treatment for a heart condition when the condition did not improve with Western medicine.
God sometimes you just don't come through
God sometimes you just don't come through
Do you need a woman to look after you
God sometimes you just don't come through
You make pretty daisies pretty daisies
Love I gotta find what you're doing about things
Here a few witches burning
Gets a little toasty here
I gotta find why you always go when the wind blows
Tell me you're crazy maybe then I'll understand
You got your 9 ironin the back seat
Just in case
Heard you're gone south well
Babe you love your new 4 wheel
I gotta find why you always go when the wind blows
Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky fall
Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky
God sometimes you just odn't come through
God sometimes you just don't come through
Do you need a woman to look after you
God sometimes you just don't come through
Do you need a woman to look after you
Verse 1
God, please push me in the right direction
God, I'm hoping that you'll understand
God, I'm trying to make amends now
God, I'm asking for your guiding hand
Everybody's got the wrong opinion
Everybody says what's on their mind
Everybody's got the wrong tradition
Everybody prays you the man
Verse 2
God, I'm reading in your holy books now
God, I'm singing and I'm not afraid
God, I'm looking for the only way out now
God, I'm hoping that I can be saved
Everybody's got the wrong religion
You won't say what's on your mind
Some won't hear why others listen
Everybody prays you the man
Verse 3
Why don't you ever answer questions?
Now my faith is slipping away
I'm looking in a different direction
Believing is the only way
Final Bit
Everybody's got their own tradition
(Everybody's got the wrong religion)
Everybody's got their own salvation
(Everybody's got the wrong submission)
Everybody's got their own religion
(Everybody's got the wrong tradition)
I run towards the eye of the storm.
I run so fast I hit the peak of my form.
I stand alone as a god in the making,
I wear you down till you are breaking.
I stand firm in the climates fighting.
I blow the wind and create the lightning.
I whip the rain from the face of the seas.
I spin a tornado that folds the trees.
I have to keep sane in a world of senseless noise.
I have to keep silent if I want to spare my voice.
I should hide underground
Where the silence sounds
Ill reach up and take the moon away,
God is mersibly, God is Good
Lord have mercy
I wish you would
I been searchin' for so long
For a love to fill my life--soldier me on
Feel the hunger in my blood
As I walk into the fire I can't get enough
Where, oh where can I find you
I have seen you and called your name
Walked the streets of my life in vain
Seen the idols with feet of clay
Pull me closer--push me away
Where, oh where can I find you
Where, oh where
Times have taught me to use my time
Journey's end is an endless climb
...when to follow and when to lead...
When to know just what I need
Where you gone g.o.d.
Have you gone down on me--don'tcha do
I ain't ready for no second-hand love
I'm no stranger to this loneliness
Leave me lonely--leave me lost
Leave me nothin' but myself to carry the cost
Now the only, only reason to come to you again
You gotta fight to win your freedom--lose your chains
Love's illusions ring all too clear
Cross my mind when I hold you near
Know your pleasure--you leave me cold
Lonely nights with my thoughts untold
Where, oh where can I find you
Where, do ya care
I don't care what the price may be
'down' is right when you're down with me
Can you tell me--am I to blame
Sing my song to your heart's refrain
Where ya gone g.o.d.
Have you run out on me-don'tcha do
All you give me is second-hand love
All I wanna do is get on down with you
All I ask for and all I pray
Meet you down on the streets one day
Have you taste life from on your knees
How can it allow the novice to assume
Its hierarchy of supremacy
A force or perhaps a being
That taught us to forgive thy enemy
Their stances are stern
Their battle lines drawn
But will God claim the heathens
Awaiting the age of a new dawn
God has abandoned us
Sneered upon our example with disgust
The lord learned not to revere us
Because we treasure darkness instead of holiness
The antichrists stronghold
Seems evident in the pagan mannered culture
God is a rotting carcass
Its meat picked clean by satanic vultures
Satisfied with the unpure practice of occultism
The majority of man lending credence everyday
His instincts led him on a path less trodden
God In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God
The same was in the beginning
With God all things were made by Him and without Him was not anything made
It is He who has made us and not we ourselves
For we have one God and Father of all
Who is above all, through all, and in you all
God, the Holy Ghost, spirit of truth, indwelling power
God, the Son, Jesus, the same
Yesterday, today, and forevermore
Jehovah, Yeshua, I AM, Elohim
Kadesh, He's Holy, None compares to Him
Glorious, All-Sufficient, Triumphant King
For Thy pleasure You created all things
(Rap)
Yeah, that's right we're talking about God the Creator
Talking about the Ruler of all
The I AM who created man
He's the Rock, He's the Lion and He's the Lamb
Almighty leaves Satan deceased
He's the Most High, Satan's the least
He defeated Him, He's victorious
Our God's too powerful, He's too glorious
God before the foundations of the world you were God
Before dominions, the heavens, the earth, and the angels
God before the galaxies, water, wind or the air we breathe
Nothing and no one can exist outside of Thee
For You are God
Who can counsel, advise, instruct, direct or give wisdom to God
Who has weapons or an army to wage war and defeat our God
Who has insight, who has revelation to describe the One whose ways are past finding out?
Jehovah, Yeshua, I AM, Elohim
Kadesh, He's Holy, None compares to Him
Glorious, All-Sufficient, Triumphant King
For Thy pleasure You created all things
(Rap)
Yeah, that's right He's kadesh
He's holy, He's different, yeah He's the best
Ain't no match for Him, He's on top
That's right yeah He's coming and He can't be stopped
He's unstoppable that's 'cause He's too strong and He's the boss
Overall He's over all and above everything else our God stands too tall
God The greatest insult is to take the work of one's hands and call it God
Even greater is to take the work of His hands and call it God
Provoke His jealousy, fire burning envy
Take anyone, take anything and put it in the place of the true and the living God
His glory shall not be shared with another
God, exclusive, you can have no other lovers
God wrapped in humanity, He gave His life for me
In Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily
Jehovah, Yeshua, I AM, Elohim
Kadesh, He's Holy, None compares to Him
Glorious, All-Sufficient, Triumphant King
For Thy pleasure You created all things
(Round)
God, God, God, God, You alone are God
Eyes like fire, hair like wool, feet like brass, voice of many waters
Kadesh, Holy, Sovereign, Different, voice of many waters
Holy, worthy, holy, worthy, holy, worthy
Glorious in holiness, fearful in praises
You do wonders, who is like unto You?
For You are
Glorious in holiness, fearful in praises
You do wonders, who is like unto You?
For You are

God, God, God, God, You alone are God
Eyes like fire, hair like wool, feet like brass, voice of many waters
Kadesh, Holy, Sovereign, Different, voice of many waters
Holy, worthy, holy, worthy, holy, worthy

Oh praise Jehovah, Kadesh, Yeshua
Cuz there's no other, You're God and You're Holy
Oh praise Jehovah, Kadesh Yeshua

Oh praise Jehovah, Kadesh, Yeshua

Mijn naam is god, en dit is mijn thuis
Ik bewaar mijn leven lang deze bol in huis
Het lampje binnenin dat noem ik de zon
Met allemaal leuke planetjes rondom
En een van die kleine bolletjes dat is de aarde
Ogen ogenschijnlijk van weining waarde
Maar er groei en bloeit vanalles echt op dat blauwe ding
Dat bolletje vol met water is mijn lievelingsding
En dan zoom ik in en zie ik een theater
Dan zie ik een concert van een op hol geslagen pater
En op dit moment het is zeer frapant
Staat er een vent met een bol in zijn hand.

In the beginning, there was God
He made the earth and the heavens
He gave us light 2 rule the day
And another light 2 rule the night
The Lord, thy God
He made, He made the seas
He made the fruit upon the tree
When He saw
When He saw that it was good
He made a man
He made a man
Only He could, only He could
God made U
God made me 2
He made us all
He made us all equally
Now U say it
God made U, God made me
He made us all equally

I stand at the threshold of man? trampled throne
I walk through broken pieces of my godless soul
I lied to the savior and prayed for retribution
I defy my demise
I walk through broken pieces
I laughed at the altar and turned my back on love
Cursed my own existence, forgive me
I raped the spirit of all that was divine
Cold dark and wicked is all that? left inside
My God
So help me God
My vile life
My dreadful side, so help me
God
I? back at the threshold of man? trampled throne
I walk through broken pieces of my fucking godless soul
I lied to the savior and prayed
I defy my demise
So help me God
My vile life (I walk through broken pieces)
My dreadful side
So help me
You know some people only see me in one light
But what they don't realize is I'm blessed

Verse1:
Body so weak from sin so I kneel to approach you
Got that gut instinct you gone come through like you
suppose to
The reason why I am able to kneel down and pray
You the reason I'm singing this song today
You the reason my sister go outside to play
You the reason my mom can take her with pay
You the reason why I turned away from being gay
You the reason for the season in my heart you shall
stay
Cross necklace around my neck
Old friends good bye I'm trying what the heck
Am I suppose to do give in like you would
Sorry ladies and gentlemen I got god like you should
I want to keep him cause the devil got to go
Where I'm destined to be only he do know
The messiah or better yet the alpha and omega
Omniscient amazing spirit is the one who can save ya

It's a crazy world so I act like I don't know you
It's a crazy girl so I act like I can show you
People killing and stealing god not happy this a sin
Ladies respect your bodies you aint save then you aint
I can't waste my whole life living never to know you
Stay dwelling in sin then satan will show you
He can change your whole world from darkness to the
light
We are his children anointed from head to toe right
I listen to other rappers promoting sin but I don't
judge
Spitting sex killing vilians and don't forgive hold a
grudge
Delivering the wrong message kids getting stuck like
they in mud
Fighting clubbing and partying even smoking on the bud
It's only a matter of time before god judgement pour
down
All these fake fony rappers didn't do his work is hell
bound
I don't support their flavor so I'm here to turn it
around
I only want to serve jesus the king of the crown

This beat for god so it's powerful you hear
This beat is amazing only because it's about god
Did you know he can change all that evil in your heart
Anointed with faith so I walk down dark streets
Aint worried bout dying for my god I take the heat
He have done so much thank you isn't enough
Change me from being hard head and fed me real stuff
I love god I hope this listener know
And if this listener don't I know above god show
His passion of good surround me o right now
Angels of pure gold rebuke me and show me how
To live a pure life not living for my friends
This life is just a vapor and oneday it's got to end
But before this life ends I want god to know I repent
God my afterlife payed off no more earths rent

When you break the rules and go against the tide...
When you face the nature blind of your pride...
You don't have a chance...
When a hurricane meets you on its way...
When you cross the line and run away...
You don't have a chance...
God... If you are not the god.
God... If you are not the...
When your ego makes you forget your place...
When you think that power is in your hands...
When you're not the god...
When you summon monsters you cannot tame...
When you put your hand in the wild flame...
Fear...
You pray up from the day
when you were born
I should guide your way
when your heart is torn apart
you ask for my advice
when your heart is torm apart
you feel like little gray mice
in front of me
Ref.:
Every fucking sunday
you knee in front of me
I wait till you go away
so that I´m again on my own
I wonder if someday
you finally leave me
cos I can´t get out of here
It´s not the same as it was 50 years ago
you don´t pay tribute to me - you´re convinced I don´t exist
I´m still sometimes the one to blame - for your own faults
One day you'll all die
All your lives were just a lie
No escaping death, you can't run away
Lie to yourselves and blindly pray
Try to hide, you just won't see
There is no God, there's only me
Fuck your religion
I'll burn your churches down
I spit on your priests
And piss on your sacred ground
You're so fucking brainwashed
You just can't see
If you need something to believe in
You can worship me
So each day would be new I build you to sleep
That's the idea of dying but you'll just have to see
You can do what you want or so you think
But til you stop all your thoughts
you are ties to your surroundings
When the fog spreads out in the rainy season
It comes from my insides
When the thunderous lightning strikes down
You're seeing your real I
People
You blaspheme my name
But still I love you
Still I love you
I love you just the same
I hear all your prayers because I'm each one of you
Creations not something I did
It's something that I do
The reason for the bad is so there'd be such thing as good
Oh I'd do anything for you
You all know I would
Be for me
Be for me
Be for me
Before me
Before me
Before me
You know that I try to repair and repay
As life goes by a thousand times
It gets a little btetter
You find GOD
the moment you
realize you don't
need to find GOD.
We exist, all of this,
this is all GOD,
we are everything.
THIS IS THE KINGDOM,
WE ARE THE PEOPLE,
SO OPEN YOUR DOORS,
Silence shattered like ice, incipit rage in myriad voices of the wind
All light now absent as the banshees howl
No solace in the maelstrom.
Even the sun's afraid to rise around here
It's ice cold as far as the eye can see
Relentless winter restraining the new mourning rays.
Frozen in thought whilst seeking oblivion.
Got scalded by summer, given the cold shoulder by winter
We'd watched the world go by...
Shifting slowly from here to there, going in the direction of everywhere, but arriving neither here nor there
Now there's a taste of blood in all the throats around here.
Asked for a shot of winter in my holocaust, it caught my throat afire on the way down
Wrought iron gateways pleading, under-used ovens awaiting further problems
Countless eyes closing, rhyme boring reason.
It wasn't very sunny that weekend, sitting and watching this world stumbling to it's end.
All rain all everywhere
Shining wet skies' tears.
Sun hides in fear just around the corner from here
Just around the corner, see? Over there!
(ian hunter)
God said to me "gonna kick your ass - 'cos all you do is ask ask ask
All that energy looking for me when I'm sitting here inside you - plain to see
How I built you cell for cell gave you sights to see - gave you tales to tell
Even let you help yourself for a while - to take some weight off this busy child"
I said to God "i found you out - I know what this world is all about!"
God said "stop - don't scramble your brain - my opponent's been messing you around again
See him and me are enemies and we play little games for galaxies
And he's inside you - 'n I am too - so here we are - just the three of you"
"oh we made mistakes - too many cards - but making human beings can be hard
A God gets tired of playing so much chess - he wishes his God would get him out of his mess"
I said to God "what's it like to die" he said "it's as plain as the sea and sky
Conception was him and me and you - when your batteries fade we all just move on"
I said to God "who's winning this game - is the devil in front" he said "is that his name
You know I've been so busy I never asked - I never looked up from this awesome task"
I said to God "what's good 'n bad" he said "it's just something you've got to have
It don't mean nothing to us up here - but your primitive people - you gotta have fear"
I said to God "do I think for myself" he said I told you once you just help yourself
Don't forget you're composed of three, your thinking comes from him and me"
I said to God "how big are you, is there a religion - is it true
How big's the universe - is time - the same for you as my life is to mine"
God said "if all the things that made worlds float - were all to part - then you would note
The size of him and the size of me - and that's how big we both shall be"
He said "the universe is small - just like some fortune-teller's ball
And we both sit down - and we play the game - when somebody wins it all starts again"
"there's no religion - you did that - it helps to keep your little leaders fat
Like faith 'n superstition stay - to help you pass the time away
But when you talk of time and life - it makes me think of circles, heights
Expansion is the clue - your dreams - are nearer than you've ever been"
"you see my little toy to think - is from two bowls of wine to drink
You are the first and the last
Strength that I have, if my world was to crash
You are the same from today to the past
Plain that your love don't change and I'm glad
You remain is the way I could have
New life and you took the blame that I had
An over-night change came with a flash
I know it might seem kinda strange if you ask
But how can I describe who you are?
What could I write? Where would I start?
Who would define the one who made the stars?
And made them shine and still lives in my heart?
No words would explain who you are.
How could I ever just name who you are?
Even heaven can't contain who you are!
Is the only way I can say who you are?
It's God! Truly God!
Can you see? Can you hear?
Can you touch? Can you feel?
It's God! Truly God!
I can't explain any other way
But it's God.
So amazing to me
You spoke a word, everything changes to be
Seven days, you made the sun raise in the trees
And let it blaze, made the sun raise in the east
I gaze on all you made and I see
And I'm ashamed of sinful ways, and its me
And I'm amazed that you came straight, just for me
It's kinda strange, but that's the way that you be
You are the reason I live
You're all I'm needing to live
You are the mean, and I live
With so much peace, I see, and you give
You right here, it's quite clear that you live
You're the air that I breathe and you live
It's not that clear, what I'm speaking
It's just that...
All that I can say is...
So at the end of the day
When everything you made just fades into gray
Only one thing remains, it's the same
The fact that your love, it refuses to change
So plain, I'm amazed by your ways
'Cause you, so great, but you came and you gave
Your whole life, and you died, straight to the grave
Three days into life, came and you raised
And I can still call on your name
And even when I fall, you remain, it's the same
You are my all in all, that I claim
I used to be kinda like Paul, but I changed
How could I ever be ashamed?
Its obvious that you live and you reign
Supreme as the very reason I'm saved
See what I mean is, what I mean is that you're...
Just God
Redemption, found only through the blood of Christ
By definition the payment of a ransom
A gift that none of us could afford
Or that none of us deserve
And although many of us believe that we're the main character in this story,
It begins and it ends... With God
In the beginning there was nothin
No earth no you no me,
Just a void and the God who e-xisted in three
Created heaven and earth from nothin, One God no discussion
Try to create somethin from nothin if you think I'm bluffin
We are all a product of the Lord's imagination
He manufactured light and darkness from his conversation
The universe and its inhabitants, he sustain it
The only logical conclusion is to praise and thank him
With hands lifted up high we submit all of our lives
To the will and the service of our only perfect God
Yahweh sent Yeshua for his glory
Yeshua sent his spirit to indwell us, make us holy
Before that he was slain in exchange for our sin
And then rose from the grave so that we may get to live
We were once enemies now adopted as his kids
And grafted in his body so Holla at ya kin
I'm talkin bout God, Father, Son, Spirit,
Never have an end he's been here since the beginning
I'm talkin' bout
I'm talkin' bout
I'm talkin' bout
I'm talkin bout God, Father, Son, Spirit,
Never have an end he's been here since the beginning
I'm talkin' bout
I'm talkin' bout
I'm talkin' bout
I'm talkin' bout
Now who can roll like King, never frail, never suffer damage
Way bigger than life, prop his feet on top of planets
Never slumber or sleep, keep the earth on its axis
Know every breath that you breathe, He the artist we the canvas
Every star in the sky, He know em all by name
Every hair on yo head, he can tell you where it lay
In disaster or in famine more reliable than FEMA
Created for his glory homie we are his poema
Satan, demons, angels, seraphim
Trees, creation, will all bow before him
Bind oxygen with oxygen, hydrogen with oxygen
Give us air and water to sustain us as we follow him
Sent his son to earth, told everyone to model him
Made Matthew clay with his hands, yes He modelled him
We are in his image this position is an honor
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Father
I'm talkin bout God, Father, Son, Spirit,
Never have an end he's been here since the beginning
I'm talkin' bout
I'm talkin' bout
I'm talkin' bout
I'm talkin bout God, Father, Son, Spirit,
Never have an end he's been here since the beginning
I'm talkin' bout
I'm talkin' bout
I'm talkin' bout
God is a concept
By which we measure our pain.
I'll say it again:
God is a concept
By which we measure our pain,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't believe in magic,
I don't believe in i-ching,
Don't believe in bible,
Don't believe in tarot,
Don't believe in hitler,
Don't believe in jesus,
I don't believe in kennedy,
I don't believe in buddah,
I don't believe in mantra,
I don't believe in gita,
I don't believe in yoga,
I don't believe in kings,
I don't believe in elvis,
I don't believe in zimmerman
I don't believe in beatles.
I just believe in me,
Yoko and me.
And that's reality.
The dream is over,
What can I say?
The dream is over,
Yesterday.
I was the dreamweaver
But now I'm reborn.
I was the walrus
But now I'm john.
And so, dear friends,
You just have to carry on,
I do not like heaven
It’s finally not my place
I do not like you either
I don’t like your face
I do not like my mother
I sometimes hate my dad
I don’t like my brother
That really makes me sad
Pre-Chorus
I ride the road into hell
To meet my maker
I’m tangled and under your spell
You are a faker
(I do not believe in)
Chorus
God!
Where is my backstage pass?
God!
Give me all access
God!
Where is my backstage pass?
God!
I don’t like what I’m saying
I don’t like what I think
Maybe I am not worth it
God, can you spare a drink?
I do not like Mondays
I do not like my wife
Lord, I will surrender
To get me out alive
Pre-Chorus
God knows I'm helpless to speak
On my own behalf
God is as helpless as me
Caught in the negatives
We all just do as we please
False transmissions
I hope god forgives me
For my transgressions
It's what you want
To know no consequences
It's what you need
To fucking bleed
It's all too much
God knows I'm restless and weak
Full of piss and vinegar
God knows we sow what we reap
In the dirt of grandeur
When the darkness comes to me
And it fixes its gaze on me
God knows I'm helpless
It's what you want
To know no consequences
It's what you need
To fucking bleed
It's all to much
God knows I'm helpless
You break your back
For what you can't have
I once knew a killer named Lenny Larue
Had lost four fingers had faded tattoos
I asked him one day to whom do killers pray
And he said to me as he looked away
Well god don't even know my name
For I live my whole life in shame
God is in me ¨C god is in you
And god's love has been abused
God don't even know my name
Had to fight a Baptist preacher
Who had drank too much
He took a swing at me but I ducked his punch
I pushed him to the ground
And as he rose out of the dirt
I asked ¨C
Why does a preacher man have so much hurt?
I once spoke to god and he made me cry
Said I could come to heaven any time
He did not mind ¨C he forgave my crime
I once loved a ballerina who was narrow and mean
She believed in nothing but her cable TV
Cussed and cursed and swore that Jesus was dead
If god did not damn her I wonder who did
My bones are starting to show through
My eyes are dark and hollow
It's all because I'm missing you
It's getting hard for me to swallow
If magic doesn't really come
Why did you say it did
If it's just a fantasy for some
What do I tell the kids
Why did you take me by the hand
If you knew you could let it go
Why did you lead me through that land
If it was just some kind of show
I guess it doesn't really matter
What's not true is just not true
I'll guess you'll just keep getting fatter
Off the ones who are brand new
I've got this crazy feeling still
You'll live in a black hole
There'll be something there that you can't fill
Only this time it'll be your soul
Yet through all of this doubt
My mind still drifts out on a land
And you've figured it all out
I got a question
Let me ashe you, can you explain your reasoning to me?
It ain't a matter of my hard luck or bad luck
When there's no luck in it for me
I'm not the type of man to hold a gruge against
Something I can hardly see
But to say that there's a reason for everything
Make me doubtful and intrigued to say the least
God you don't want to answer me
But if you do, you'd better agree
God you've got the strangest sense of humor
You're too funny to be so heavenly
I got you number and you own me
Show me a little common decency
I kneel before you and you bless me, test me
And answer with a plague inside of me
I'm not the type of man to pleas with the sky above
Or with the demon under me
But to say that there's a reason for everything
Makes me doubtful and intrigued to say the least
God you don't want to answer me
But if you do, you'd better agree
God you've got the strangest sense of humor
carnal christians
carnal minds
if you don't want to be
the carnal kind
keep our eyes on Jesus
and soon you'll find
you'll be leaving those
carnal ways behind
(chorus)
G-O-D
keep your eyes on God
G-O-D
and he won't steer you wrong
G-O-D
he'll show you the way
G-O-D
and you won't go astray
garbage in
garbage out
listen to those doubters
soon you'll be in doubt
keep your eyes on Jesus*
and take a stand*
don't treat your brain*
like a garbage can*
(chorus)
bible says you shouldn't
satan says you can
he'll do anything
just to ruin God's plan
repeat*
(chorus x2)
I can only feel and think in the language of
Cliches otheres have concocted for you
Prefabricated pre-conception
Worn like the walls around you
All around you
How good to walk-with the caprice of God
How good to talk-with the caprice of God
Build your ivory tower
So you can scratch the sky
How could I forget that, you're not finished yet and that
All that you have done, still adding up the sum
This totem has some use, the total of abuse
Real life is never used as truth
Angry artillery on your tongue
Bows and arrows highly strung
Same shadow I can see right through
Whenever I picture you
How good to walk-with the caprice of God
How good to talk-with the caprice of God
An ordinary human-an ordinary mortal, and ordinary model
Build your ivory tower-so you can touch the sky
Don't hide inside the sentiment
The real test is never finished yet
Face up, collect the interest
Of all the idiots you should detest
How good to walk-with the caprice of God
How good to talk-with the caprice of God
An ordinary human-an ordinary mortal-
An ordinary model
He made the night, He made the day
Spread the earth upon the waters, made the Heavens and the rain
Look at the sky, see its design
The very same creator, He's the one who gave us life
And what is man that He's mindful of us?
We're merely clay in his hands
And what am I that He loves me so much, He would die
You know, well I can say is
It's God, truly God
Can you see, can you hear
Can you touch, can you feel
It's God, truly God
I can't explain any other way 'cuz it's God
Inside us all there is a void
All mankind is searching for the one who fills the soul
In Him there's hope, in Him there's life
The world cries for a Savior that's right before their eyes
And what is man that He takes us in
As His children to be His own
And what are we that He wants to be our Father
All that I can say is
It's God, truly God
Can you see, can you hear
Can you touch, can you feel
It's God, truly God
I can't explain any other way 'cuz
It's God, truly God
Can you see, can you hear
Can you touch, can you feel
It's God, truly God
I can't explain any other way 'cuz it's God
Lord I praise You for Your endless love
Your boundless grace, I stand here amazed
What is man that He's mindful of us?
What am I that He loves me so much
What is man that He takes us in
What are we that He wants to be, God
God, truly God
Can you see, can you hear it
Can you touch, can you feel it
And it's God, truly God
I can't explain any other way 'cuz
It's God, truly God
It's God, truly God
It's God, truly God

I been wounded by ambition
Promised the impossible dream
Lied to me with pen and ink
Criticized for ministry
Reach out for the lost Manipulated
by my friends
The heart is desperately wicked
Who are the Born Again?

God came down from heaven yesterday
gave me somethin everybody else threw away
made my life much beter than before
to tell you the truth I cant explain too much at all
I cant tell anybody
what happened to me
I cant tell anybody
How does that make you feel ?
Crossing the street and the lights all look the same
people seem hypnotized and incapable of change
You start up your engines and you run all your life
tryin to find somewhere where you finally have time
I cant tell anybody
what happened to me
I cant tell anybody
how does that make you feel ?
time is a concept, that ruins everything
time was a mistake, everything is
the whole is impossible to a tiny little mind
gotta take the leap of faith and leave death far behind
I cant tell anybody
what happened to me
I cant tell anybody
How does that make you feel
So I have a question
A question for those people who say they believe in God
Because to believe in God, you must have defined God
You must some idea of what you've chosen to believe in
Oh, and I have the same question for the people who say they don't believe in God
Because you must have defined God
You know what it is that you've chosen not to believe in
So I don't want to know what God is, or isn't
Because I know that none of you have any idea
I just want to know where you got your information
Because it must be a good source for you to make such an important decision
Psalm 23, The Lord Our Shepherd:
The Lord is my shepherd, I have everything I need, He lets me wrest in fields of
Green grass and leeds my to quite pools of fresh water – He gives me new strenght
He guides me in the right oath as he has promised – Even ig I go thru the deepest
darkness I will not be afraid – Lord, for you are with me – The shepherds ride
and stare protect me – You prepeared backwards for me so all my enemies can
see me – You welcome me as an honoured guest and feel my comfortable grim
I know that you goodness will be with me all my life – And your house will be
my home as long as I live – Amen
G.O.D. You´re the one I need
G.O.D. Come and rescue me
I stopped working for a second and thought about my life – Nowhere to either run
or to hide – G.O.D. the inventor creator – You changed my life into a dream and
I can testify – So much pain so much sorrow – There´s a life after death like today
and tomorrow – I feel stupid don´t know what to say – I thank you G.O.D. in more
than a thousand ways – Let´s pray our father in heaven – each and everyday me
praise receive your blessings – We ask for peace and no more war – Uprise my Lord
and cure the sick, lonely, the humble, the poor – Peace out to those daily waiting for my
fall – Your goodness – and love will be with me all my life – Your house will be my home lord help me to survive
G.O.D. You´re the one I nead
G.O.D. Come and rescue me
You provided me with strength I was lost humble and week – Realize where I stand lord I
can´t speak – Now shot like a rocket in the business with full speed – Yesterday I had to
suffer defeat – Protect me from my foes how high can I reach – You work in mysterious ways that´s why you are unique – Your goodness your love I´ll obtain all my life - Your house will
be my home lord help me to survive
G.O.D. You´re the one I nead
G.O.D. Come and rescue me
Yeah, that´s life, I remember the lonely days, nobody there but the loard, believe in God
And he´ll always show you the way - that´s what I can say – he opens doors and believe me
One day sunshine will come your way – And in the name of Nana Abrokwa – Peace – God
Bless
Ho, ho, hoooo, yeah….
G.O.D. You´re the one I nead (Oh, dear God!)
G.O.D. (Oh, G.O.D.!) Come and rescue me (You´re the one I need)
G.O.D. (G.O.D.) Come and rescue me (My heavenly father)
You're time has run out, scum
God have mercy on your dirty soul
So you must die
[Cage]
I'm draggin my brain through the mud
Spillin blue blood, pull a filter out you love
Bottles stashed in these finger in my two gloves
A few tubs, filled with that shit that turn you killer
Adrenaline gland under my tounge, ripped out a gorilla brain
Still insane, but I feel the pain better
Too fucked up off this Jesus piss to get my shit together
In a fog, get probbed, reluctantly I've grown zero
Each one of my nerve endings switching with my bonemarrow
The scenory surrounding me isn't really reality
Atleast that's what I tell myself to get it out of me
The quest to find my inner uglyness is over
The secret to my failure is easer than being sober
If my self loathing hatred killing your high yet
Just cop the bundle, dude was like "I don't know how you didn't die yet"
I'm mortal with water, I'm borderline, this border nine
I paint a pop part with a fucking bucket of corporate minds
[Cage]
If evil decides today he left her sucking on the guns
She put what she thought on the wall and left her tounge
These secrecy I say want crunches to come
No digits to dig, is she to cookin with nowhere to run
Son a, Senator dies today, he put too much in the blood
They left him leaking on the floor with liquid in his lungs
I'm stuck with these lies to say
Why bring a daughter or son into a planet
that you paying to drink the water from
[Tame One]
Sherming like Nutty Professor flicks
With the most toxic narcotics
I'm like Keith Murray, illiotic with product
Leak like security breaches
With reefers you smell from long distance
The wet takes the breath of strong-windeds
I never intended to recommend the sins we doing
But people already assuming I'm high as Witney Houston
Accumulated more dust than maids and a butler
Fuck a broom, you need mops to sop up in my rubber room
Bring in the pain, I sing in the rain like Gene Kelly
In between tellys, puffin listerine jelly
With smelly drugs, mentally bugged, high as I ever been
Peer pressuring, weird speciments with adrenaline
Hostile for days, needing hospital stays
to dry my skelleton, after what's in my system settles in
I fake my own death to get wet, leaking effect
Because I'm good for putting water on weed like Geopets
[Cage]
If evil decides today he left her sucking on the guns

When the madness stops I be approximently open
Lead the horse to water, can't get him to drink it, but smoke it
Am I leading these kids straight to hell? I'm thinking probably
In oddity, not to be listen to outside this odyssey
This album's like a fish, pissing when it's captured
I guess that means it's gonna leak on the net when it's mastered
Hence the title that the guardians of death damned it
That's G.O.D for PCP made from where angels landed
[Tame One]
Let me speak up for the leaked up savages
Time travellers, characters turned over
Blunt soaking sherm doners
The water on the brain long term damage that manage to maintain
Polluted by the purple rain stain
My name's anonymous with embalming a sticky wet
Keeping it fair for the squares that's a dipped cigarette
Biohazardous, blasphemous, angel dust dutches to smoke
With a dubble package like how they do rappers out on Interscope
[Cage]

Why bring a daughter or son into a planet
After bein' 25, you know, just trying to survive in the world
Bout to have a little boy or baby girl. who knows?
Anyway, just when you start gettin that little age and experience to
You start thinkin about stuff...tryin to make the right moves
So bust it out, this is what i was thinkin, check it
Yo, the education of the lon-chicka-lonnie lynn
Began, began with time
Bein my bloodline is one with the divine
In time brotha, you will discover the light
Some say that god is black and the devil's white
Well, the devil is wrong and god is what's right
I fight, with myself in the ring of doubt and fear
The rain ain't gone, but i can still see clear
As a child, given religion with no answer to why
Just told believe in jesus cuz for me he did die
Curiosity killed the catechism
Understanding and wisdom became the rhythm that i played to
And became a slave to master self
A rich man is one with knowledge, happiness and his health
My mind had dealt with the books of zen, tao the lessons
Koran and the bible, to me they all vital
And got truth within 'em, gotta read them boys
You just can't skim 'em, different branches of belief
But one root that stem 'em, but people of the venom try to trim 'em
And use religion as an emblem
When it should be a natural way of life
Who am i or they to say to whom you pray ain't right
That's who got you doin right and got you this far
Whether you say "in jesus name" or hum do allah
Long as you know it's a bein' that's supreme to you
You let that show towards others in the things you do
Cuz when the trumpets blowin, 24 elders surround the throne
Only 144,000 gon get home
Only 144,000 gon get home
Only 144,000 gon get it baby
Chorus cee-lo:
I've lived and i've learned
I have taken and i've earned
I have laughed, i've cried
I have failed and i have tried
Sunshine, pouring rain
Found joy through all my pain
I just wanna be happy with being me
Cee-lo:
Let me voice my concern
So many of my fellow brothers have given themselves a title
That their actions didn't earn
Our ignorance is in the same breath as our innocence
Subconciously, seeking to find an impressionable mind to convince
I've finally come to the realization why black people in the worse
Place
Cuz it's hard to correct yourself when you don't know
Who you are in the first place
So i try to find the clue in you
But evidently, white folks know more black history than we do
Why're we bein' lied to? i ain't know our history was purposely hidden
Damn, somethin' in me wanna know who i am
So i began my search, my journey started in church
It gave my heartache relief when i started to understand belief
Hustlin was like a gift spent my share of time in the streets
Taught me survival from this evil i'm just gonna have to deal with
And i felt like a fool when i tried to learn it in school
It almost seemed like a rehearsal when the only
Science and math are universal
Takin elder advice, read the bible, the koran
Searched scrolls from the hebrew israelites
Hold on, this ain't right, jesus wasn't white
Some leads were granted with insight
And it's all in the plan, but it took me some time to overstand
He still created with the imperfection of man
So, with followin' i disagree
By no means have i forgotten or forgiven what's been done to me but
I do know the devil ain't no white man, the devil's a spiritual mind
That's color blind, there's evil white folk and evil niggas
You gon surely find there's no positivity without negativity
But one side you gonna have to choose
Any chance to speak i refuse to misuse
So how can you call yourself god when you let a worldly possession
Become an obsession and the way you write your rhymes and
Can't follow your lesson
If a seed's sown, you make sure it's known, you make sure it's grown
If you god, then save your own, don't mentally enslave your own
If you god, then save your own, don't mentally enslave your own
If you god, then save your own, don't mentally enslave your own
Well, i've lived and i've learned
I've taken and i've earned
I have laughed, i have cried
I failed and i have tried
Sunshine, pourin rain
I found joy through my pain
Just wanna be happy...bein me
a young boy took himself too serious
he took a gun and aimed at god
god himself was so frustrated
that was all he can take
the girl next door was already weaping
her day was hard, she couldn't rest
she would only hug her pillow
that was more she can take
again they try to start a new day
and pray for better times to come
but god will obviously ignore the
that is all they can take
we struggle hard not to surrender
we fear the future and the past
every minute seems like a torture
Hearts are weeping, souls are keeping on ice
Spirits dying, wickness won't suffice
Those who cared, they stop and stare at the wall
Doing nothin, watching prisoners fall
The sun is falling from the sky, the earth is cold and still
God have mercy on us
For we know not what we do
God dark and blinded, we are burning
Without you God
Without conscience, without warning at all
We kill the wounded, crushing whose who crawl
Can't we see that life is hung by a thread
In the end our flesh is buried and dead
Mountains crumble, veins swell, the tide is taking all
God have mercy on us
For we know not what we do
God dark and blinded, we are burning
And I looked up and I spoke to God
And God said look at you, don't look at me
You only call on me when you need me
And when you don't, you hardly think of me at all
I don?t enter your head for weeks at a time
And the times I do are in your despair that you created and not I
And still you look up at me in such pleading terms
That?s how I kinda come to know you
But don't look at me look at you
Don't look at me look at you
And every night I pray to God
Please save the lives of those I love and take me instead
If you really need someone to keep you company
On that golden chair in the glare
Bring your guns to the table and recite your prayer
Lose all your hatred if you are to pray in there
The temple you're seeking is in front of your nose
Because the message you're giving is doing nothing for those
Seek and you shall find
Seek
Seek and you shall find
Seek
The oldest is the young
The youngest the oldest
The oldest is the young
The youngest the oldest
The oldest is the young
The youngest the oldest
The oldest is the young
The youngest the oldest
God is a concept
By which we measure
Our pain
I'll say it again
God is a concept
By which we measure
Our pain

No I never drink my poison
No I never let you see
No I never drink my poison
Unless it's good for me
No I never ponder confusion no
Or sit around and wait to see
Or watch the outcome of a certain situation
I had in mind for eternity
Yeah it's up to me
What will be is up to me
No I never make a choice unless it's up to me
And I never give a reason
No I never sink my teeth in
No I never take a bite
No I never sink my teeth in unless I feel the right
No I never play the jokerman
Sit around and wait to see

Outside, it's windy and stormy weather,
Don't cry, you've already cried a river,
Feel like, Maybe I'm feeling bitter,
Fall down, now all I can do is shiver,
CHORUS A
God, I'll be a better man,
Never let her down try and understand,
God, I'll be a better guy,
Always been a fool for all the fools going by,
VERSE 2
So long, I have to get my jacket
This queue, feels like I'm caught in traffic,
The doubt starts to hit me like rain,
I'll never see her again,
CHORUS B
God, why did you let me down
Standing all alone in the centre of town
God, you just let me drown,
Making me feel hopeful when there's no-one around
SOLO
CHORUS A
God, I'll be a better man,
Never let her down try and understand
God, I'll be a better guy
Always been a fool for all the fools going by,
Fools going by....
MIDDLE 8
I waited outside for her, she never waited for me
Waited outside for her, she never waited for me
Waited outside for her, she never waited for me
Waited outside for her, she never waited for me
Waited outside for her, she never waited for me
Waited outside for her, she never waited for me
She never waited for me
She never waited for me
She never waited
VERSE 3
Outside, It's windy and stormy weather,
Don't cry, you've already cried a river
Walk past, all of the drunken steamers,
Like me, broken and tired dreamers,
CHORUS B
God, why did you let me down
Standing all alone in the centre of town
God, you just let me drown,
Making me feel hopeful when there's no-one around
The time is over
the day is gone now
i spent the day with her
to spend an hour with god
my dream is over
and now i'm sleeping
i heard there was no god
but i just spent the day with him
oh, with him
oh oh
they're not spinless
and grass is greener
i walked the moon with her
to spend an hour with god
i heard there was no god
but i just spent the day with him
oh, with him
oh oh
God made the world
God made you
God made me too
God made the stars
God made the moon
God made the earth too
God made everything
But God is still creating
God makes me glad
God makes me glad
God made the sea
God made the land
I'm glad God made me
'Cause I love the stars
And I love the moon
And I love the earth too
And I love the God
That made all these things
He made me love him
'Cause he loved me first
God made the world
God made you
God made me too
God made the stars
God made the moon
God made the earth too
God made everything
But God is still creating
God makes me glad
Do you see the man who's standing
Outside at the door
The children are laughing at him
With his fingers he writes
Some words on the ground
And on every wall
The name of the only one
And some scared words before
He came into this world
To take the "our" sins away
He saved us from the one dead
And burning in the hell
I know he will come back
Wait until this day
Do you belive this
I believe it all
Release me jesus christ
Save me oh my god
Reveal yourself to me

[Reverend Run]
When I was alone, and had nothing
I asked for a friend to help me bear the pain
No one came, except God
When I needed a breath to rise, from my sleep
No one could help me.. except God
When all I saw was sadness, and I needed answers
No one heard me, except God
So when I'm asked.. who I give my unconditional love to?
I look for no other name, except God
I once knew a killer named Lenny Larue
Had lost four fingers had faded tattoos
I asked him one day to whom do killers pray
And he said to me as he looked away
Well god don't even know my name
For I live my whole life in shame
God is in me ¨C god is in you
And god's love has been abused
God don't even know my name
Had to fight a Baptist preacher
Who had drank too much
He took a swing at me but I ducked his punch
I pushed him to the ground
And as he rose out of the dirt
I asked ¨C
Why does a preacher man have so much hurt?
I once spoke to god and he made me cry
Said I could come to heaven any time
He did not mind ¨C he forgave my crime
I once loved a ballerina who was narrow and mean
She believed in nothing but her cable TV
Cussed and cursed and swore that Jesus was dead
He made the night
He made the day
Spread the earth upon the water
Made the heavens and the rain
Look at the sky see it design
The very same creator is the one who gave us life
What is man that he's mindful of us?
We're merely clay in His hands
What am I that He loves me so much He would die
All that I can say is
CHORUS:
Its GOD truly GOD
What we see what we hear what we touch what we feel
Its GOD truly GOD
I can't explain any other way cuz its GOD
Inside us all there is a void
All mankind is searching for the one who fills the soul
In Him there's hope
In Him there's life
The world cries for a savior that's right before their eyes
What is man that He takes us in as His children to be His own
And what are we that He wants to be our Father
All I can say is
CHORUS
Words and Music by Rebecca St. James and Tedd T.
God is good, I never understood
All the darkness in his soul.
And God made man, the only way he can,
But for a heart he left a hole..
And it's killing you
And it's killing me too
Are we failing the truth?
I'm betting on desire, i'm betting on deceit
I'm betting on a moment when everything is sweet
I'm betting on disaster in every living hour.
Would you burn your fingers if you touched God?
Will he let you in if you have or not?
Once my friend, I loved you as a child
Kissed your face before I slept.
Be in my head, and with me when I sleep
In the bloodied tears he wept.
And it's killing you
And it's killing me too
Are we failing the truth?
I'm betting on indifference, i'm betting on belief
I'm thinking of a beauty where ev'rything's complete
I'm betting on a laughter, a very distant star....
Would you burn your fingers if you touched God?
Will he let you in if you have or not?
And it's killing you
And it's killing me too
Are we failing the truth in everything we do?
Are we failing the truth?
I'm betting on desire, i'm betting on deceit
I'm betting on a moment where everything is sweet
I'm thinking of the beauty I love with all my heart.....
Would you burn your fingers if you touched God?
Will he let you in if you have or not?
Will he let you in?
You know some people only see me in one light
But what they don't realize is I'm blessed
Chorus:

Verse1:
Body so weak from sin so I kneel to approach you
Got that gut instinct you gone come through like you
suppose to
The reason why I am able to kneel down and pray
You the reason I'm singing this song today
You the reason my sister go outside to play
You the reason my mom can take her with pay
You the reason why I turned away from being gay
You the reason for the season in my heart you shall
stay
Cross necklace around my neck
Old friends good bye I'm trying what the heck
Am I suppose to do give in like you would
Sorry ladies and gentlemen I got god like you should
I want to keep him cause the devil got to go
Where I'm destined to be only he do know
The messiah or better yet the alpha and omega
Omniscient amazing spirit is the one who can save ya
Chorus:

Verse2:
It's a crazy world so I act like I don't know you
It's a crazy girl so I act like I can show you
People killing and stealing god not happy this a sin
Ladies respect your bodies you aint save then you aint
in
I can't waste my whole life living never to know you
Stay dwelling in sin then satan will show you
He can change your whole world from darkness to the
light
We are his children anointed from head to toe right
I listen to other rappers promoting sin but I don't
judge
Spitting sex killing vilians and don't forgive hold a
grudge
Delivering the wrong message kids getting stuck like
they in mud
Fighting clubbing and partying even smoking on the bud
It's only a matter of time before god judgement pour
down
All these fake fony rappers didn't do his work is hell
bound
I don't support their flavor so I'm here to turn it
around
I only want to serve jesus the king of the crown
Chorus:

Verse3:
This beat so hard that's it all in your ear
This beat for god so it's powerful you hear
This beat is amazing only because it's about god
Did you know he can change all that evil in your heart
Anointed with faith so I walk down dark streets
Aint worried bout dying for my god I take the heat
He have done so much thank you isn't enough
Change me from being hard head and fed me real stuff
I love god I hope this listener know
And if this listener don't I know above god show
His passion of good surround me o right now
Angels of pure gold rebuke me and show me how
To live a pure life not living for my friends
This life is just a vapor and oneday it's got to end
But before this life ends I want god to know I repent
God my afterlife payed off no more earths rent

There's too much chunk going in my brain
The ........... is alive
But the conversation's dead
Words hit my ears
But the contents are empty
My eyes see the glory
Of the enlightening of the .......
I wanna know
Yes, I wanna know
It's happened before
And it'll happen again
If it's hurtin' so bad
Why does it feel so good?
The air stings my eyes
Tell me the name of your poison
When all ............... lies
You gotta make your own true
I wanna know
Yes, I wanna know
Is it really my god?
Is it really my god?
There's too much chunk going through my brain
The .......... is alive
[Intro:]
Some call him Papa, some call him Jah
It's whatever yo, He's my star so
I call him G.O.D. [x4]
[Verse 1:]
It's simply amazing, all that He's done for me
And how He set me free, gave me the victory
Cause you know me and how I used to be
I could've been dead, somewhere in the street
But now I'm a church boy, work boy
Some call Him Jireh, cause He's a provider
Some call Him best friend because He's a rider
He's on the inside of me, one God in the holy trinity
That's why I say
[Chorus:]
Some call him Papa, some call him Jah
It's whatever yo, He's my star so
I call him G.O.D. [x4]
Some say He's the man upstairs
Who will be there no matter when or where
I call him G.O.D. [x4]
[Verse 2:]
God is my joy, and the strength of my life
He took away my pain and took away my strife
And gave me a wife and gave me a life
And gave me salvation and his Son paid the price
And now I'm a grown man cryin,
Cause I get choked up when I think about an innocent man dyin
But because of that I don't have to fry
So I'll serve G.O.D. till the day that I fly, say
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
Jehovah Jireh, God my provider
Jehovah Nissi, you reign in victory
Jehovah Shalom, you're my peace
I call Him G.O.D., I call Him G.O.D.
