My Lid

Sometimes you go thru things and feel like you alone,
but God is with you in the middle of your storm.
Look to the sky, God replies, God will show up in your life,
here's how He showed up in mine...

Chorus:
// God is love, God is great, live by faith, saved by grace, changed my days, changed my ways, now I give Him all my praise //

I serve a GOD that makes no sense
To some I’m making sense
To some I’m speaking nonsense
Regardless
Of your past tense
Jesus
Can take you from great mess
To greatness
From pit to palace
Like that boy Joseph
Pimp your life dog like west coast customs
GOD turns nothings
Into something's
When you down to nothing
GOD’S up to something
So lean back like you Joe Crack
While I spit some facts
On my gospel rap
I'll repeat myself like my name was Mike Jones
Just so I know that I got in your dome
I serve a GOD that makes no sense
To some I’m making sense
To some I’m speaking nonsense
I’m living proof that GOD exists
I’m living proof of how big HIS LOVE is.

Chorus:
// God is love, God is great, live by faith, saved by grace, changed my days, changed my ways, now I give Him all my praise //

My life story kid is told thru raps
I’ma rewind it back
And take you back
To 93’ winter
Up in the 7-1-3
Up in a homeless shelter, with kids as broke as me
About 100 families just down on they luck
Different faces, and races, but broke just like us
Dowling was the name of the block
Star Of Hope was were we got
3 hots and a cot
We were lucky man & others were not
Life was bad
Homeless everywhere, sleeping in boxes
Reminisce on that winter
Every December
As the chip on my shoulder
Started feeling like a boulder
As it got colder and colder
For 3 months straight
Turkeys on my lunch plate
3 times a day
What the hey…
When it pours it rains
10 pm, was lights out
2 am was head count
I’m just painting you the scene
This is my routine

Chorus:
// God is love, God is great, live by faith, saved by grace, changed my days, changed my ways, now I give Him all my praise //

It’s the morning of the 25th
Wake up to see two boxes full of gifts
In mommas eyes there's tears of joy
To see her three little boys
Raid a box full of toys
Won't forget this as long as I live
First thing out the box was an Astro’s lid
Been sporting a cap ever since
In remembrance
Of how good truly GOD is
It's not what you get
It’s what you give
Astro’s lid $15 dollars,
seeing my Christmas go from doubtful to miracle, priceless
Sow the fruits of what CHRIST is
Sow some love
In someone
That ain’t your blood
My ANGELS, I never saw they face
But that day who’s I saw was JESUS FACE.

Chorus:
// God is love, God is great, live by faith, saved by grace, changed my days, changed my ways, now I give Him all my praise //
