The Testimony
01:54

|
I felt like I really had messed up
Torn up inside, but on the outside, dressed up
Trying to put behind those things in my mind
But I know that it's time I 'fessed up
Taking account of the things that I've done
Enjoyed what I've done, but fulfilled by none
And yes, of course, it wasn't by force
I made the choice. I was the one
They told me that prayer changes th'angs
But tell me what do I do when things stay the same
Matter-a-fact, it looks like they're worse
Though I put You first. It seemed like I was cursed
I was tired of the game
If You're gonna help me, help me NOW!
Drag me out, someway, somehow
That's how I felt. On my knees, I knelt
Praying for help. I'll change. I vow
But silence filled the air
To the point it seemed You weren't even there
And if I'd complained, it would still be the same
Heartache and pain
But it doesn't mean that You're unfair
It was me. Yeah, I know it was me
Blind to it then, but now I see
And though it was painful
And somewhat strainful
Yet, I'm thankful that You let it be
Beginning to end, I needed it all
Even when it felt like I was gonna fall
And I'm not mad. Matter-a-fact, I'm glad
'Cause there was good in the bad
Through it all
Now, as I testify, I make a decree
Touch and agree, and say it with me
I won't bend to the devil ever again
Staying free from sin, 'cause He made me free

Locked down and bound, I used to be
But now I know what it means to be free
Not too long ago, You rescued me
And whom the Son sets free, is free indeed
I'm free
No more chains
Not the same
I'm free
Finally realizing eternal ecstasy
I know what it feels like
To be locked down and bound for a long time
Stagnated, frustrated, running in circles
And running out of time
So, when you hear my testimony
When I talk about being free
It's because I know about being free
A lot of people preach, and they preach
And they preach, but can't reach
'Cause they never experience
Those things that they teach
Trying to tell me about the things
That you've never been through
But handle your business
If that's what you do
But as for me, I can tell you 'bout pain
In the dark for so long, on the midnight train
Wanted to be free. In the mirror I see
Nothing but me looking back at me
A reflection of something
That I didn't wanna be
'Cause I know I'm better than what I see
I thought a woman's love was what I needed
Until I found real ecstasy
And I looked up
That's when I began to get up
'Cause when it rained
I got tired of getting wet up
By the things that fell down from the sky
Caused some myself, so I knew why
I was going through so much
But it didn't matter
Determined to climb that ladder
All the way to the top
To get out of what I was in
At one point, I thought it was the end
I may have been the end
But not the end of my life
Because my life is hidden in Christ
The devil no longer has a hold on me
I declare to the world that now, I'm free

I've got to praise Him (Praise Him)
With the clapping of my hands
I've got to praise Him (Praise Him)
With the stomping of my feet
I've got to praise Him (Praise Him)
God has been so good
I've got to praise Him (Praise Him)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Gonna paise Him every chance I get
I'll wallow on the floor 'til my clothes get soaking wet
I don't care what you think of me
Say of me, and even speak of me
I got God on my side (Yeah, yeah)
And He'll make it alright (Yeah, yeah)
I give Him praise today (Yeah, yeah)
And tell me what you say (Yeah, yeah)
I'll praise Him all day and all night
I won't give up
Provisions that He made for me
Blessings that He gave to me
God has been so good to me
And He's been good to you too

Your blessings are gonna overtake you
Just believe on God
Take my advice that I give to you
And you'll find that it's not that hard
Jesus is standing there waiting
His arms are open wide
He's waiting there to recieve you
All you got to do is slide
Slide into my blessing
No more messing
I got my mind made up
Give the devil back his stuff
You're gonna be blessed in the city and field
Blessed when you come and when you go
You're gonna be blessed abundantly
Just to let you know
All you gotta do is repent to God
And stay free from sin
You're gonna be blessed when you go out
You're gonna be blessed when you come in
Slide into my blessing
No more messing
I got my mind made up
Give the devil back his stuff
Slide into the right way
The Lord is standing right there
And He'll take away your heavy load
All because He cares
Don't miss this golden opportunity
To take Him at His Word
If you wanna be blessed, I mean truly blessed
The blessing is in the Lord
Slide into my blessing
No more messing
I got my mind made up
Give the devil back his stuff
If you're not on the Lord's side
You're forfeiting your heritage
He's the Groom, and we're the bride
The blessing is in the marriage
Now, even if you are a backslider
That just means you slid the wrong way
Now, slide into your blessing
You can do it today
Gonna slide, gonna slide, gonna slide, gonna slide
Gonna slide, gonna slide, gonna slide, gonna slide
Slide into my blessing
No more messing
I got my mind made up
Give the devil back his stuff
Slide into my blessing

Give the devil back his stuff
Slide into my blessing

I've got something I've got to say about me
So many things I've been through
But thank God, now I'm free
The devil tried to stop me
He loosed many things to block me
Stumbling blocks put in my way
People lying on me everyday
But that was alright, 'cause I declare
That through it all, my God was there
He's the Lord over my soul
He won't let the devil take control
Why? I really don't know
But I'm so glad He loves me so
I've got something I've got to say about me
So many things I've been through
But thank God, now I'm free
You don't know what it is
To be buried under in sin
And the more you try to stop
The deeper and deeper you drop
Looked like there was no way out
No one on Earth could bail me out
I looked to the hills which comes my Help
I'm looking for the Lord, and no one else
And what did He do? He rescued me
Don't know about you, but He set me free
I've got something I've got to say about me
So many things I've been through
But thank God, now I'm free
(Bridge)
I'm free, thank the Lord, I'm free
I'm free, thank the Lord, I'm free
I'm free, thank the Lord, I'm free
I'm free, thank the Lord, I'm free
I'm free (Rep.)

Walking in a world
Where it seems like
Everything that can go wrong
Does go wrong
But Lord
You're all I need
To survive

More of You
03:09
|

|
All I want is more of You (6x)
All I want is more of You
No one in this world will do
No one can do me like You do
That's why all I want is You
You pick me up when I am down
You said You'll always be around
I thank You 'cause I know it's true
That's why all I want is You
All I want is more of You

Walk In Liberty
03:28
|
|||
|
You've been praying for it
You've been asking for it
You've been seeking for it
Even fasting for it
Your change is come
What are you going to do
He's done His part
And now it's up to you
Don't be a hearer
What I mean is, believe
Jesus pulled you out
And now you're free
I wonder is anybody out there
Listening to me, but that's ok
I'm talking from experience
He made me free
And now that we're free
Let's walk in liberty
Don't be entangled with that bondage again
Never again a slave to sin
And now that you're free
What are your going to do
He's talking to me
He's talking to you
But as for me
Gonna walk in liberty
Walk in liberty. Walk in liberty. Walk in liberty
Walk in liberty. Walk in liberty. Walk in liberty
So don't be talkin' and talkin'
'Less you're livin' and livin'
'Less you're walkin' and walkin'
Like you talk like you get it
You wanna look ahead
You don't wanna look back
Don't worry 'bout the past
Or you'll get off track
Got a mindset like Paul
Look forward, that's all
Let the past be the past
And God be your all
He's looking for somebody to heed the call
Is it you?
Time to walk in your God-given liberty
Last time you were bound
But this time you're free
Your deliverance: it wasn't an accident
That's the way that God wanted it to be
So don't worry 'bout what others may say
What others may do
Don't let it move you
You already know what I'm gon' do
Now, you do it too. Walk

Go Tell It On The Mount
03:45
|
|||
|
In my mind, I can hear the Lord saying
Do you remember those times when your bills were due
And you didn't know where the money was coming from
And I stepped in, right in the midst of your situation
That's when you met Me as your Jehovah-Jireh, your Provider
All I want for you to do: get up out that bed. Go take a shower
Get in your car. Go down the road.
GO! Tell it on the mount. GO! Tell it on the mount.
GO! Tell it on the mount. GO! Tell it on the mount.
Do you remember those times when you got sick
Even when that doctor's report said one thing
But I asked you the question, "Who's report would you believe?"
I stepped in, and you knew me as Jehovah-Raphe, your Healer
GO! Tell it on the mount. GO! Tell it on the mount.
GO! Tell it on the mount. GO! Tell it on the mount.

Come Home [Altar Call]
03:13
|

|
I want to tell all of my young sisters out there
That there is a man that really does care
There's no greater lover than the lover He is
There's no greater passion than to receive His kiss
Come 'way from under those sheets
That ecstasy is only temporary
After the climax is over
There's still a load that you carry
To all of my young brothers trying to be a man
It gets hard sometimes, doing the best you can
So you turn from woman to woman, from girl to girl
Having them all, and still alone in this world
I wanna recommend you to a Man
The same Man that helped me
Just give Him your heart
And He will make you free
Come home to the place where you belong
You've already taken too long
My sister, you know what to do
My brother, He's waiting on you
Come home (Rep.)

Caught Up

Attention, Ground Control, this is Chopper One
And we have a slight problem up here
(What is it, Chopper One?)
We see people (People?)
Yes, people! (What do you mean?)
People! And it's looks like they're being caught up!
I wanna be caught up in the midst of the air
If you feel the way I do, then I'll meet you there
The book of Revelation says that He's coming for me
And when He comes back, every eye shall see
Gonna praise the Savior that died for us all
And when He comes back, He's gonna stand tall
And then everybody's gonna look up
We're gonna be caught up, in the midst of the air
We're gonna be caught up, in the midst of the air
We're gonna be caught up, in the midst of the air
We're gonna be caught up, in the midst of the air
I wanna see, I wanna see, I wanna see Jesus
I wanna see, I wanna see, I wanna see Jesus
I'm gonna see, I'm gonna see, I'm gonna see Jesus
I'm gonna see, I'm gonna see, I'm gonna see Jesus
We're gonna be caught up, caught up, caught up
In the midst (In the midst of the air)
