about

This track was a family project recorded to praise the Lord! My daughter played the flute, my youngest son sang on the chorus, my oldest son, T1TO (an awesome up and coming christian rapper) was featured in verses 1 and 2, and our pastor even chipped in with a message. This song is my pride and joy because we did it together.

lyrics

Verse 1
Lord, do you care about me and my family
Hard times stretch out, as far as I can see
For ev’ry step I make, I take two back
Feels like I’m stuck in a rut; can’t find the right track

Lord help me please; can’t help my-self
I wasted too much time, tryin’ to be someone else
I turn it over to you, to let you lead the way
Sick of findin’ trouble, chasin’ false hopes day to day.

“Count it all joy,” James- 1:2 says
Keepin’ the faith for the brighter days
Lord, I know you’re with me, so please forgive my doubt
I’ve got some stress upon my chest; I’m tryin’ to shout it out

I need a new plan, something I can understand
Readin’ through your word to help me grow into a better man
Guide me down your path, ‘cause see, I haven’t got a clue
I know you’ve got a plan; I wanna help you see it through

As for me and my house, we choose to serve you
Wanna be accepted when my time is due
Blessings on my son, Lord; teach him how to stand
Grow him up into a godily man.


Verse 2
Let me show you a world beyond your heavy smoke
You tryin’ to cope, rollin’ stone for your anecdote
But the anecdote puts you in a saddened slope
No room for hope, with a face that shows a constant mope

You whine and grope ‘cause your life is so miserable
Living with regrets and the list is so extendable
“I wish, I wish, I wish” is the statement so repeatable
The past is the past, here’s your present so it’s time to go
“Oh, Israel, your life is so cynical
Eleven-day journey turned into a four-oh
See, I loved you, before you loved me
Heard your prayers, felt your tears, so I set you free
And now you’re free, but you want to star to doubt me
Gave you what you want, and now you forgot about me?”
Yeah…this is what I think the Lord would say
Let me show you, before you fall astray.


Chorus
Gotta find that place in my heart, I can turn to
(Let me show you…)
I need your mercy and grace, ‘cause there’s so much I go through
(Let me show you…)
God, I need your strength to do things I’m afraid to do
(Let me show you…)
Take me into your arms, and I promise I will follow you
(Let me show you...)


Verse 3 – Sermon Excerpt
In the beginning was the Word;
And the Word was with God;
And the Word became flesh! Whoo!!
For unto you is born a child; and a son is given
And you shall call him Wonderful,
Councellor, Mighty Father, Emmanuel, God with us
Oh, I wish I was Pentecostal this morning,
I wish I could help you this morning,
Understand how bad God wants to get in your life,
and have fellowship with you
It’s not about stained glass windows
And having little sacraments
And sayin’ your little prayers
Its about walking with God, in the cool of the day
Its about having God with you in the country
Having God with you in the city
Having God with you…all week long


Verse 4
Every-day mercy; how am I worthy?
I see a change in me but yet my hands are dirty
Knowing only you can make me clean
That’s why you came down to die for me
Now I proceed, picking up my sword to read
A false truth would only hand me to my enemy
And just to think of all the things that he would say to me
Hand me the world, but kill me spiritually
Lord you made this beat; you composed the talent
And every word upon this page, you helped my mind to add it
So Lord humble me right where I stand
’Cause pride can turn an angel into a devil, man
Lord grant me strength for my weakest days
See my heart clean; I’m forever changed
New life; new vision
And on His hands, we’re admitted



Chorus
Gotta find that place in my heart, I can turn to
(Let me show you…)
I need your mercy and grace, ‘cause there’s so much I go through
(Let me show you…)
God, I need your strength to do things I’m afraid to do
(Let me show you…)
Take me into your arms, and I promise I will follow you
(Let me show you...)
Gotta find that place in my heart, I can turn to
(Let me show you…)
I need your mercy and grace, ‘cause there’s so much I go through
(Let me show you…)
God, I need your strength to do things I’m afraid to do
(Let me show you…)
Take me into your arms, and I promise I will follow you
(Let me show you...)

Outro – Chorus Echo
(Let me show you...)
(Let me show you...)
(Let me show you...)
(Let me show you...)

about

Ennis (Bro. E) Smith Lincoln Park, Michigan

Writing devotionals, short stories and articles for the Lord is a passion of mine. But I also love the rhythm of a deep kick drum, tight snares, and harmonic melodies laced together to form a hip hop track. So, it was only a matter of time before I put the two passions together, to make my own sound.

Making music glorifying God, brings me joy.
