lyrics
(Intro)
Dear Lord,
It's all for you God.
(Verse 1)
Hey I was caught up at the end of my rope,
Didn't have a dollar in my pocket,
I was broke,
No shampoo, toothpaste, or even soap,
Scrapin' off of ends from my friends,
Couldn't cope,
Stressin' 'bout my rent,
'Cuz my bank account was negative,
When you're goin' through it man,
It's hard to stay positive,
But I kept on pressin' in,
Knowin' God would make a way,
Through that stormy weather,
After it there's a brighter day,
Homie hold on tight to the light,
And stay prayed up,
Givin' back to Christ for this life that He gave us,
Had a couple nickels and some pennies,
So I tithed it,
By the Grace of God,
Ya, He multiplied it,
So I got a job now,
Steady able to provide,
Maybe one day,
Yes I pray,
That I'll have a wife,
Ya, but 'til then,
I'll keep pressin' in to seek His face,
Wrapped up in His love,
It's a gift,
And we call it grace.
(Chorus)
It's a gift called grace,
It's a gift called love,
It's a gift called Christ,
He's a gift from above,
It's the beautifulest thing,
Better than the best of drugs,
And if you walk down this lane,
You'll see grace, that it is enough.
(x2)
(Verse 2)
I once was loc'in,
Straight up just provokin',
Now I'm Spirit soakin',
And It's Christ in my life I'm quotin',
And now I'm broken,
With my doors wide open,
Ready for the healin' of The Lord,
'Cuz it's dope man,
I once was chokin',
'Cuzza the sin wrapper 'round my neck,
Kinda like a rope that coulda be death,
Now I'm livin' up on this quest,
I'm so blessed 'cuz I was dead,
In my trespasses,
I read,
Open Ephesians 2,
That's what it do,
But He gave me grace instead, you know,
So now I ride,
Ya, completely sanctified,
Filled up with The Holy Spirit,
There's unlimited supply,
That's no lie,
I be preachin' how it is,
And that's the truth bro,
Glorifying Jesus Christ when I bust flow,
And I ain't earned a thing,
Man it's all a gift,
Saved by grace through the faith,
Now I thank Him for this bliss,
Every day this is praise to The Lord that I give,
For His love and His blood,
By His grace that I live.
(Chorus)
