My Provider
I've had this pain, Deep in my heart
Since I was eight, it's been a pretty rough start
Never knew true love
All I knew was hate
Now I've been welcomed at the Purly Gate
& was met by this man with whack hippy hair
He then held my hand and showed that he cared
Taught me some laws and gave me a cause
Now here I stand,
just chillin with him in the holy land
Apparently I've been blessed since day one
But I had no idea, I blame the media
All I wanted was fun, but with that, came no sun
Now he has sat me down
& said listen here Son
You know you can't do, life alone
I look back now and see nothing was sown
But now im 22, Big & Grown
I was placed at his feet
In front of his throne
Jesus then told me he gave his life
Not for selfishness, but for what was right
Now it's our turn to stand up & fight
It just so happens this past Thursday night
I asked Jesus Christ
To show me true love & show me his might
& at that same moment
My mom had a fright
She told me she awoke
With a deep pain in her heart
But she hasn't quit praying since the very start
I still can't believe all that has come
But I know now who it all came from
So I thank you Jesus, for all you have done
Now it's time, to have some real fun!
I know your gonna use me for some crazy stuff
Some things that others may think is rough
They may tell me,
Kid don't do it alone
I already know I've visited his home
& I know I'm surrounded by his glory dome
So right now I pray, In Jesus' name
That I don't walk this life for the fortune & fame
I promise to you, I won't return to the game
Cause I know that lifestyle & it's really lame
I hope that you will provide, when it is needed
& guide me down your path undefeated
Free from sin & temptation
Cause I'm sick & tired of all the complication
Please Lord won't you stick by my side
If you decide to turn your back
I will only follow & join for the ride
Just give me a pack & I'll give it a crack
I know Lord Jesus you will provide
But if it's needed Lord, I will run & hide
In Jesus' Name I Ask Of You Just One More Thing
Lord Please Provide!!
