Nobody

All glory to the Most-High
God no being up or down is coming close I
Can't afford the debt but you ran up with the co-sign
All glory, all glory to the Most-High

Lord, you made me a promise
And really if I'm being honest
It coming to pass seemed so daunting
That I started to doubt it
I even tried to help it along
But that only ended in carnage
My ways and thoughts are not the Lord's
My navigation is horrid

But you did it like you always do
More faithful than the morning dew, you
Put the blessing in my hand, then
Commanded to hand it right back to you, I
Choose to put my trust in you
And that's logical, though uncomfortable
Know my weaknesses, isn't lost on you
Whenever the terror is center pressure is headed to sever
I can't dodge remember the ram substitute

Jireh made a way for us
No path to reconciliation - Lord you made one
That rams a lamb
Bruised and wounded for our transgressions
Ran up a tab I couldn't cover
You paid all my debts and I'm indebted

Even with trouble nigh
Lord to whom shall I go
You are the bread of life
To whom all blessings flow

For you are holy, wonderful, mighty, awesome
We give you the glory, the honor
For there is not above you
None above you, no

No, no, no, no, nobody
No, no, no, no, nobody
No, no, no, no, nobody
No, no, no, no, no, nobody

Living here aware can drive you mad, full of grief
Another day another Blackman laying dead in the street
And our sisters not immune they shot her dead in her sleep
One-third is what they said, and their systems all repeat

And the way that we deal with each other
Yeah - that's lining up with the enemy
The self-hate, and sabotage - is weaponry of white supremacy
Elevate so much over our worth that we are accepting no equity
Chasing an ecstasy found in the heavenly
Dance to death shun the son it's a devilish melody
Peace! I need some peace
Need to lament, deficits steep
Reparations are due for repentance
Adding a fifth - receipt to a thief
But who adds a fifth to humanity
Whatever a man can provide
Will prove insufficient to make us complete
Still it's a start to making it right
Some more critical of race theory
Than critical of racism
Yes, the construct is man-made
But man's sin has made plenty victims
I'm not debating them over a term
Elected already the spirit presiding
No my dignity aint shape-shifting
It don't just go where the money reside
I am secure in my own skin
Not running to place in the woke olympics
Lord I won't tap dance or endorse sin
Or be a black face for a church census
Won't monopolize my expressions
With virtue signals and required alignments
I'm free enough to not be under a thumb
And free enough not to amputate mine
Shalom

Rooted in your word and belief
Not running from extreme to extreme
But bowing at your feet to receive
In my mind, my heart, my body spark
Revival, none like you, no rival Lord

Even with trouble nigh
Lord to whom shall I go
You are the bread of life
To whom all blessings flow

For you are holy, wonderful, mighty, awesome
We give you the glory, the honor
For there is not above you
None above you, no

No, no, no, no, nobody / for the rest of my days, I'll give you all the praise
No, no, no, no, nobody / for the rest of my days, I'll give you all the praise
No, no, no, no, nobody / for the rest of my days, I'll give you all the praise
No, no, no, no, no, nobody / for the rest of my days, I'll give you all the praise
