"123 Victory"

"123 Victory"


Hey Yo 1, 2 3 Get up we got Victory
No weapon they throw at me
You know it won't prosper, no

Just got laid off (I'm doing good)
House ain't even paid off (I'm doing good)
Should be afraid but (I'm feeling good)
All the time you say (God is good)

You can calm down, down down
Don't forget who's in control
Walls are falling down down down
Get ready for the new Jericho
You waiting on God he's waiting on you
(so what you gon' do)

Hey Yo 1, 2 3 Get up we got Victory
No weapon they throw at me
You know it won't prosper, no
[x2]

Storms raging (I'm doing good)
See the world changing (I'm doing good)
I know it's not easy But life can't defeat me (God is good)

You can calm down, down down
Don't forget who's in control
Walls are falling down down down
Get ready for the new Jericho
You waiting on God he's waiting on you
With all you been through
Now its on you, so what you gonna do?

Hey Yo 1, 2 3 Get up we got Victory
No weapon they throw at me
You know it won't prosper, no
[x2]

The battles not yours
It is the Lord's
Tried on your own you're not that strong
But greater is He
That takes up for me
And soon they will see
My name's victory

Hey Yo 1, 2 3 Hey Yo 1, 2 3
Get up we got Victory
No weapon they throw at me
You know it won't prosper, no

Hey Yo 1, 2 3 Get up we got Victory
No weapon they throw at me
You know it won't prosper, no
I'm doing good I'm doing good (It's all right)

(feat. TD Jakes)

"911"
(feat. TD Jakes)



[Daughter:] Hello
[Kirk:] Hey, it's me, Kirk, I need to speak to Bishop
[Daughter:] Sure, hold on...

[Jakes:] Hello...
[Kirk:] Hey... I got some stuff I need to talk to you about
Lately, pastor I've been...having all these crazy kind of dreams
It's hard to sleep, I can't eat...scary, you know
[Jakes:] I know what you mean
[Kirk:] I mean, every since that Tuesday, seems like life's just getting real strange
[Jakes:] I hear ya
Anthrax, terrorist attacks and... I ain't even trying to get on no plane
[Jakes:] I feel ya
[Kirk:] ...and you know when I try to pray, there's a voice that telling that God's not real
[Jakes:] You know that's just the enemy
[Kirk:] Yea, but you ain't feelin' me
[Jakes:] No son, I know just know you feel...
See, just because I preach and teach don't mean I don't get scared sometimes
[Kirk:] yea, whatever, but you T.D. Jakes
[Jakes:] Well, then I don't make mistakes...
[Kirk:] Well...
[Jakes:] Now, let me tell you what's on my mind...
When your smile is gone (He cares)
[Kirk:] Yea, but I feel so alone (He's there and...)
[Jakes:] Although, your heart is heavy, God said: (every burden I will bear)
[Kirk:] See, but you don't know my (my pain)
And I'm getting so sick and tired of all (this rain)
I just got laid off, and to top it off the rent's due, so tell me what I got to gain?
[Jakes:] Well, see, trials come to make (you strong)
Storms won't last (last long)
[Kirk:] But how can I trust God in all this mess?
[Jakes:] Well, see that's the reason for the song
See, wherever you go there's one thing ya got to know
God, is right there by your side (weeping may endure for a night)
And he told me to tell you everything (everything's gon' be alright)

So thank you for calling...it's always good to hear from you
[Kirk:] yea, but...
[Jakes:] But I gotta go now
[Kirk:] wait a minute...
[Jakes:] I got another call on line 2
[Kirk:] But I ain't through

[Kirk:] See I'm sick and tired of all these church folk talking about stuff ain't as bad as it seems
See, y'all don't feel my pain...
[Jakes:] I don't have pain...?
[Kirk:] I don't see how ...you on the cover on Time magazine
[Jakes:] See, but you're looking at now and you don't know how I struggled and what I've been through
[Kirk:] Yea, whatever...
[Jakes:] Now, you crossed the line...
[Kirk:] I'm just speakin' my mind
[Jakes:] O.K. so let me speak mine, too (Hmmmmmm)
I've made some mountains, I've seen some valleys, I've even had to cry sometimes
Like when I lost my mother
[Kirk:] Your mother?
[Jakes:] My mother:
[Kirk:] I'm sorry...
[Jakes:] No son...that's fine: ...see life is full of ups and downs but God said
(the storm won't last long)
[Kirk:] But how'd you make it through?
[Jakes:] Boy, I thought you knew...it was His (love that kept me strong)
When your smile is gone (He cares)
[Kirk:] But I feel so alone (He's there and...)
[Jakes:] Although, your heart is heavy, God said...(every burden I will bear)
[Kirk:] yea, but see...y'all don't feel (my pain)
And I'm getting very sick and tired of all this (this rain)
Just got laid off, and to top it off the rent's due, so tell me, Bishop, what I gotta gain?
[Jakes:] Didn't I tell you trials come to make (you strong)
And those old storms won't (last long)
[Kirk:] How can I trust God in the midst of all this mess?
[Jakes:] See that's the reason for this song
Wherever you go there's something ya got to know (God still cares)
(weeping may endure for a night)
And he told me to tell you (everything's gon' be alright)

[Kirk:] Thank you pastor
Jakes: Any time...
[Kirk:] I think I can make it now...just tell me what I need to do
[Jakes:] Just pray this prayer with me...
Say: Father (Father) forgive me (forgive me) I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
Please help me (help me) I love you (I love you) I need you (I need you)
Hold me (hold me) Jesus (Jesus)
My heart (my heart) my soul (my soul) please take (please take) control (control)
Right now (Now) now (now) now (now) (right now)

[Jakes:] When you ain't got no smile (he cares)
[Kirk:] and even when you feel so alone (he's there and...)
[Jakes:] Although your heart is heavy, God said (every burden I will bear)
[Kirk:] And even in the midst of all ya (pain)
And when you're sick and tired of all the rain (this rain)
Remember that the rain won't last always...and in Christ Jesus, you got so much to gain
[Jakes:] You see your trials come to make you (strong)
And the storms won't last (too long)
[Kirk:] Remember my brother, my sister...it's only temporary
[Jakes:] See that's the reason for this song
Wherever you go
[Kirk:] There's something you've got to know
[Jakes:] God is still there (weeping may endure for a night)
[Kirk:] And told me to tell you (everthing's gon' be alright)

"A God Like You"

"A God Like You"


Everybody wanna be like you
They want power and praise like you
But see there is no god like our God
There's no one like you
Who gave their life like you?
And who paid our price like you?
See there's only one god that's our God
There's no one like you.

Who can touch like you
Or heal us like you do
We stumble and we stray
'til you always get us through
Who makes all things new
And comes to our rescue
Death, hell and the grave
They could not conquer you

You became just like me
To unlock and set free
This prisoner that was deeply wounded and redeemed
The me I could not see

Everybody wanna be like you
They want power and praise like you
But see there is no god like our God
There's no one like you
Who gave their life like you?
And who paid our price like you?
See there's only one god that's our God
There's no one like you.

Some may worship things
But what joy do they bring?
They try and hide the stains
But can they set us free?
See where would we be
Without Calvary
A king upon a tree?
So the whole world can see

You became just like me
To unlock and set free
This prisoner that was deeply wounded and redeemed
The me I could not see

Everybody wanna be like you
They want power and praise like you
But see there is no god like our God
There's no one like you
Who gave their life like you?
And who paid our price like you?
See there's only one god that's our God
There's no one like you.

[2x:]
Healer, father, savior
Counselor, friend, provider
You was, is and forever
That's why I just wanna be where you are
I'll travel life with you no matter how far

[4x:]
Hey, hey, hey

Became just like me
To unlock and set free
This prisoner that was deeply wounded and redeemed
The me I could not see

Everybody wanna be like you
They want power and praise like you
But see there is no god like our God
There's no one like you
Who gave their life like you?
And who paid our price like you?
See there's only one god that's our God
There's no one like you.

There's no one like you,
There's no one like you,
There's no god like our God
There's no one like you. [8x]

"A Letter To My Friend"

"A Letter To My Friend"


This is to my friend above
Who shows me so much love and grace
By placing a smile upon my face
It's so hard to express the way I feel
About a man who can heal your life
By dying on a cross
For sinners who were lost
Lord, I love you so much
That I'm yearning for Your touch

This is to my friend above
Who shows me so much love and grace
By placing a smile upon my face
It's so hard to express the way I feel
About a man who can heal your life
By dying on a cross
For sinners who were lost
And while I'm here today
There's just one thing that I want to say

[CHORUS]
Watch over me and protect me
From the things I cannot see
Let Your loving arms surround me
From here to eternity
Lord I need Your anointing
So my spirit can be free
Lord I need You more,
And more and more, and more

[Repeat]

I need You more and more
I need You more and more
[Repeat 2x's]

"A Whole Nation"
(feat. Donovan Owens)

"A Whole Nation"
(feat. Donovan Owens)



Ladies and Gentlemen
I wanna introduce to you right now
Young Donovan... He's eleven (mmmmm)
The problem we're facing right now
Is we're losing our children (ooooooo)
Father's we need you (mmmmmm)
Can you feel me?

[Chorus:]
It takes a whole nation
To help me raise this generation
When you look out of your window
Tell me what do you see
If it's a world without a father
Then you're looking at me
It takes a whole nation
To help me raise this generation
My respect to the mother's that be holdin it down
But it sure would be nice to have my daddy around.

[Verse 1:]
All I need is one mic (one mic)
I know you can see
I'm not a rapper
But there's some dudes that are just like me
Everytime you took a picture with you and your family
It was only two people and it's supposed to be 3
It's supposed to be me asking
(Why's the sky blue when I grow up I wanna be like you)
Yo daddy can you teach me how to
(Tie my shoes can I go with you to work so I can see what you do?)
Lemme see what you do
So I can love my kids too
But you didn't stick around was that too much to ask of you?
Too much to get a blueprint(No)
Too much to show your way (No)
That's the reason why this building is not finished still today (We're lost boys)
So you wanna believe that (My daddy's coming back he didn't forget about me)
Only child after school
We just sit there and wait (I know he's gonna come)
Your dad is 78

[Chorus:]
It takes a whole nation (It takes a whole nation)
To help me raise this generation
When you look out of your window (Look out this evening)
Tell me what do you see
If it's a world without a father
Then you're looking at me (Come on)
It takes a whole nation (Nation)
To help me raise this generation (uh uh)
My respect to the mother's that be holdin it down
But it'd sure be nice to have my daddy around. (Daddy around)

[Verse 2:]
Check this out
They say raising kids is the parents responsibility (mmmmm)
But there's a million of Y'all and only one of me (hey)
What happened to the village as far as I can see
It's been burned down by this modern day slavery

[Donovan:]
For 11 years I've been living here
I've seen mamma cry more than 11 tears
Watchin mamma see daddy while he slips away
Does Jesus really hear kids when they pray?

[Kirk:]
She's working to jobs
She can't do it alone
She shouldn't have to she didn't get knocked up on her own
[Both:] And I know that baby's mamma drama
Brothas it's real
But before you close the door
Don't forget how it feels
Remember

[Donovan:]
Daddy missed my game and I made a touchdown
I won the talent show but you weren't around
If a girl breaks my heart what do I do with this pain (and one more thing daddy)
Can you tell me my name?

[Chorus:]
It takes a whole nation
To help me raise this generation (I need my daddy)
When you look out of your window
Tell me what do you see
If it's a world without a father
Then you're looking at me (Yay)
It takes a whole nation (It's a million of us)
To help me raise this generation (Oh... uh... Oh Lord)
My respect to the mother's that be holdin it down
But it'd sure be nice to have my daddy around.
(Everybody that didn't have a father in your life...
I want you to stand up and sing this part right here) (Hey)
Tell em!

[Bridge:]
Ain't nothing gonna break me down (Yes sir)
Can't let nobody take me down
Can't let nobody break me down
Me down (Sing it)
Say it with me now

Ain't nothing gonna break me down
Can't let nobody take me down
Can't let nobody break me down... Me down (Take me down no)
(Sing it!)

[Bridge]

Ain't nothing gonna break me down (Hey)
Can't let nobody take me down (Nobody taught me)
Can't let nobody break me down... Me down (Break me down)
(I had to figure this thing out by myself)

(Heaven can you hear me?)

Ain't nothing gonna break me down
Can't let nobody take me down (can't you here we're lonely?) (Come on)
Can't let nobody break me down... Me down (I'll be their father... I'll be their man! Come on)
(Yay)

[Chorus:]
(If you feel me say yeah!)
It takes a whole nation
(Ain't nothing gonna break me down)
To help me raise this generation (If you feel me say yeah
(Can't let nobody take me down)
(I hear you people)
When you look out of your window
(Can't let nobody break me down... me down) (If you feel me say yeah)
Tell me what do you see
If it's a world without a father (Oh)
Then you're looking at me
It takes a whole nation (I know)
(Please Lord) (You can't take my joy devil)
(Ain't nothing gonna break me down)
To help me raise this generation
(Can't let nobody take me down) (Daddy could be there?) (Sing it boy!)
My respect to the mother's that be holdin it down
(Can't let nobody break me down... me down) (Daddy could be there?... oh yea)
But it'd sure be nice to have my daddy around. (Oh)

Young Donovan (Hey)

"Afterwhile"

"Afterwhile"


[Chorus:]
After a while, after a while
This too shall pass
After a while
Scars will heal, you’ll love again
It won’t hurt you after a while
It won’t hurt after a while

[Verse 1:]
Stuck between if and when
You pray and tried
But still no end
God’s purpose soon you’ll understand
It won’t hurt you after a while
It won’t hurt you after a while

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
So when the pain has come to an end
And now your heart is whole again
Help someone who needs to know
That it won’t hurt them after a while
It won’t hurt them after a while
It wont hurt them after a while

 

[fox69]

"Always"

"Always"


[Verse 1]
You know I’ve had some lonely days
I’ve made mistakes and had to pay
I’ve had some friends that walked away
Just like mama told me
But there’s someone whose love is real
Who cares about the way I feel
Every pain, and erase every stain
There’s peace when I call out your name
(Listen)

[Chorus 1]
Jesus, You’re my everything
The cross, You did that just for me
So whatever You take me through
I promise you
I’ll spend my always with you

[Verse 2]
No one can touch my heart like You
Or make me smile the way You do
I finally found someone who
Who really, truly loves me
And when my strength has come and gone
Your life in me it makes me strong
Your hand is where my heart belongs
You take all my pain and erased every stain

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]
Jesus, my whole life has changed
Since that day I cried Your name
For every time You’ve brought me through
I promise You
I’ll spend my always with You

Did He say He’ll never leave you?
Did He promise He’ll never forsake you?
How many of you believe that in here?
Let me hear you
(Ohhhhhhhh oohhhhhh ohhh)
He won’t let you down, right?
(Ohhhhhh ohhhhh)
He’ll catch every tear
So if you know He can be your Father and He cares for you
Come on and stand on your feet and help me praise Him in here

[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]

"Anything 4 U"

"Anything 4 U"


Sometimes this rocky road
Is filled with aches and pain
Sometimes you win
Sometimes you lose
But in Christ you'll always gain
They just don't understand
How Your love brought me out
That's why I can stand and testify
Say without a doubt

[CHORUS]
Anything for You
Jesus, I'll do anything
Anything for You
I'll do anything for You
For You, anything for You
Anything for You, for You
Anything

I give my broken heart
So that You can make it whole
I'll never go astray

This is joy that fills my soul

I'll tell the dying world
How Your love has set me free
I really love You Lord
Because You first loved me

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Climb the highest mountain
I'll swim the deepest sea
Conquer new horizons
Because You first loved me
Because You first loved me

I'll do anything
Anything for You
