Beautiful Pain (feat. Alacia LaRobin)

My marriage falling apart, my friends moving away
My ministry's in a mess, and I'm too ashamed to pray
I'm barely reading my bible, cause I don't know what to read
I've never been one for titles but who am I supposed to be
Lord
I'll gladly step away from the platform, put the mic down
But I still can't understand why this is all happening right now
DCPro is over and we barely got established
All the people that loved us just have to sit and watch us vanish
I wish I could give em answers, I got nothing to give
The only thing I know to tell em is keep trusting in HIM
Meanwhile I'm on Sabbatical, ya'll know how the battle go
From day one me and this music always been compatible
Felt crazt doing nothing, sitting down in the bleachers
Til' B Peculiar said "WG" get with me on this feature
It was "Marvelous" the way we got the "Party" going
Ya'll gon have to pardon us but we gon keep the party going

Its only when you suffer that you qualify to reign
And so I won't complain when I'm outside in the rain
For every scar of mine, through all of these hard times
Gotta keep this in mind, dark clouds or sunshine
It's just beautiful Pain (No cross, No crown)
It's just beautiful Pain (Get up off that ground)
It's just beautiful Pain
It's just beautiful Pain
It's just beautiful Pain
It's just beautiful Pain
It's just beautiful Pain

On to the next one, never been one for flexin
Christmas time hit me so hard, I'm in depression
Immune system crashing cause I ain't really eating
Lost about 20lbs Lord knows that I need
A friend of mine was shot and they still ain't close out the case
Now at least 3 nights a week I'm still seeing his face
Waking up in cold sweats, got my body full of fever
They say life is all blessed when you live as a believer
Through all of my infirmities, determined not to faint
Every moment that I suffer just adds color to the paint
Flavor in to the pot, character to the plot
Will I quit in the valley or persevere up to the top
When I'm broken and battered I'm holding on to what matters
Though many dreams have been shattered, they'll take a picture and capture
All of my joy and my laughter as, I follow the master
As I follow the master, As I follow the master
Through this beautiful pain

For so long I been praying for the pain to go
But now I know it adds color to the rainbow
It ain't a perfect picture
But Life is just a little bit richer
Through this beautiful pain
For so long I been praying for the pain to go
But now I know it adds color to the rainbow
It ain't a perfect picture
But Life is just a little bit richer
Through this beautiful pain
