about

Praise Your Creator was written as a crunk type song. Somewhere along the lines I changed the verses. The verses on here are from a song called Knowledge+Faith=Wisdom. I guess you can call this a hybrid song. I composed the music around the lyrics to bring out the depth of the verses and to help personify the chorus.

lyrics

PRAISE YOUR CREATOR - NOW LIFT HIM UP
WORSHIP YOUR SAVIOR - I KNOW THAT IT’S ROUGH
THROUGH YOUR HANDS UP - AND SHAKE THE GRAVE
WE CAN STAND TOUGH - BECAUSE YOU’VE BEEN SAVED

The kingdom is within, and established here
Where ever we go the lord too is there
‘Cause a man without God, is a fool without Him
Why do we go solo, without own plans we doubt him?
Satan wants you to let go, so you can make your own plan
That’s not your plan (it’s Satan’s) so be your own man
Offended by insults you search for that escape
He weakness seeps thru which makes the strength great
I’m ready for this meal God set the table no mistake
Nourished by his fuel to feed hunger with this plate
‘Cause the less I have, the more –I depend on him
Ask me why I changed, and know within it’s him
Holy Spirit lead the way, take over this body
I say the devil’s lies, when my mind’s naughty
I’m sorry to deceive, my girl I love –God I need
I’m weak in myself, with thy love –I believe

So am I an angel? Or can I be a saint?
Not numb I got feelings, so I won’t faint
As the hand reaches out, on my knees I pray
Taste the fruit and its good, each and every day
I am me and you are you. Individuals too
Not seeing eye to eye. heart to heart is how we do
Let’s unite under God. I got love for you
Even if we fight, what is right is the truth
Shadows move across, the light’s coming back
Sunset and sunrise, not forever is it black
Stars are still out, even with the clouds
We can still laugh, even with no clowns
Throw the strong hold down. Raise up your sword
We got power in this town, praise to our Lord
“If I’m a fool for Jesus –whose fool are you?”
Is you garden seedless? You need light and water too!
I got the beef on the table, ready to eat

Growing up and I’m able –to swallow meat
I had guilt I call this; greed my dummy
No longer milk, now solids feed my tummy
God won’t leave me hungry. My cup is half full
If yours is half empty, without envy have soul
We can grow in the lord, our walk has purpose
(One foot in the grave?) Rise above the surface
We’ve been held down, it’s time to break loose
I’m free with J.C. are you chasing the goose
Are you following you? Are you wearing a noose?
With this cross I hold truth, your belief you abuse
All we see can be ours, are we blind as we look
God gives us sight, beyond words in a book
Please don’t have doubt I know that is hard
Come out come out Where ever you are
