Hallelujah

Okay, let's take it back when we first met
All work, no fruit, labor- just sweat
I tried so hard to please ya
Cause anyone else would up and leave ya
You know, when they find you less than perfect
Cause less than perfect is always hard to work wit
So, I really tried to be great
And that's when I realized my fate
Mistake. Mistake
Sin, I couldn't escape
Didn't want to come to Ya
Cause I knew you couldn't relate
But then your grace came and torn down dem walls
Fulfilled all dem laws that brought out my flaws
Now grace, the new reflection I bez
Now in me, thanks to Thee, I no longer see
I'm glad Your grace made me beautifo
That's why today I can say hallelujah foe

Hallelujah, Lord I worship you
Hallelujah, Lord I worship you
Hallelujah, Lord I worship you
Hallelujah, Lord I worship you

But at times, I take my eyes off grace
And self- righteous tries to take your place
That's when I lie on my face
Trying to fly through life
Self -righteous cape
Somewhere eager turns to ego
And ego turns to self- hero
But law grace can't be no mixture
That's kinda like drinking from a lukewarm pitcher
I know, the law it ain't for hire
Its already filled by someone higher
High priest
I remember, wheezing, cease
Forgot I am on work release
Ha. Ha
Unemployed never felt so good
Loved at high risk never felt so hood
Now that's a gift so marvelous
Put me out in the field plenty harvest

Hallelujah, Lord I worship you
Hallelujah, Lord I worship you
Hallelujah, Lord I worship you
Hallelujah, Lord I worship you

You know, grace it ain't hard to manage
But without faith
Yes, it's kinda hard to understand it
It's some you got to hear all the time
You know- press play
Hear, say, then press rewind
Then your mind straight
Yep- A relaxer
Thanks to you Master
Those grace preaching pastors
You know, they help us get our shouts out
When it's all grace not work that they preach about
Cause we talking blood
Not no ketchup
At the cross its finish we ain't got to try and catch up
We forgiven and we favored
Now all our works they ain't got to be labored
With no pressures and no lectures
Praise become appropriate gestures
And when life and death has no sting
I think it comes quite natural that you sing

Hallelujah, Lord I worship you
Hallelujah, Lord I worship you
Hallelujah, Lord I worship you
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Ain't it funny how when grace come in
Some how you don't want to sin
