Sifted shifted and lifted

when I think about the goodness of God 
and all He's done for me 
I'm overwhelmed by the mercy, grace 
and abundancy

He came into my life 
He sifted 
removed my bad behavior 
He shook me to my very core 
gave me Jesus as my Savior 

He dissected and separated me 
from all of my sins 
He filtered my heart and shifted me
all over again 

He came into my life 
He sifted 
removed my bad behavior 
He shook me to my very core 
gave me Jesus as my Savior

A paradigm shift occurred  
my understanding was renewed
I now worship, witness and work 
with a Holy Ghost point of view. 
God came unto me and spiritually lifted. 
I've been hoisted, hefted, elevated
and now godly gifted 

He came into my life
He sifted 
removed my bad behavior 
shook me to my very core 
gave me Jesus as my Savior 

the Lord God came unto me 
His presence made the change
He shifted my priorities
my whole outlook was rearranged 
.
He came into my life
He sifted 
removed my bad behavior 
He shook me to my very core. 
gave me Jesus as my Savior 

A talent was bestowed to me 
of such majesty 
I now write about 
His unconditional love 
In verses of poetry 

God came into my life
He sifted 
removed my bad behavior 
God shook me to my very core 
gave me Jesus as my savior 

I now walk, talk and write about 
the things God's done for me 
for I've been sifted, shifted and lifted 
by the Holy Trinity
