Presence

I Know my Lord he's got me til the end
So I ain't ever cared
I never been the one for a scuffle
Devil I never feared
My dreams turned to nightmares
Remembering I was right there
Staring down the barrel of a gun
Just tryna fight fear
Cah Right there I felt scared
Was tryna firm the loss
I Couldn't move my avenues were blocked
Was stuck inside a box

They Called me James Brown
I paid the cost just to be the boss
And When the plans flopped
We read the Lord's word and switched it up
In the presence of my enemies
The Lord you kept my trust
Unwavering guidance through adversities
You overflow the cup
As the days go on it slowly Feels like
I been on the cusp of reaching
Spiritual destinies the proof Is in the love

I was questioning my deeper purpose
Stuck up in a rut
Yh I'm a wordsmith
But when words are worthless
They don't mean too much
Lord gave us gifts it's all through him
We working didn't seem enough
Until I realised it's not
Through our own work that we go up

Cause It's unwarranted favour
Not like slaves to the labour
More like grace of the saviour
We were saved by the Son
I can't be shrouded in my sin
I had to turn and then run
From all the burdens of iniquity
This fable ain't done
He put His life on the table
When He died now I'm able
To revive what was dormant
In my heart for so long
The holy power to disable
All the bad that I'd done
I'm justified in my Father's eyes
The song has been sung
(Uh)

I'm Putting everything I got out on display
I'm on the front lines
My brodie never folded in the station
So he done time
Tryna show him goodness
But he tends to seek the wrong side
Keep him in my prayers
Know the Lord can
Clear his closed eyes
Victims of the system
Been subsiding off the roadsides
The symptoms of despair
When God was near began to subside
Pedestals and blaming
What i tend to never co-sign
The Mysteries got em' knees-deep
We'll never know why

Deep in reading morning up to dusk
I'm on a search just tryna seek the meaning
Lord I had to trust
And they could never think a guy like me
Would change his life so much
They didn't know it was the work of God
That pulled me out the dust
And I was questioning my deeper purpose
Stuck up in a rut
Yh I'm a wordsmith
But when words are worthless
They don't mean too much
Lord gave us gifts it's all through him
We working didn't seem enough
Until I realised it's not through our own work
That we go up

Cause It's unwarranted favour
Not like slaves to the labour
More like grace of the saviour
We were saved by the son
I can't be shrouded in my sin
I had to turn and then run
From all the burdens of iniquity
This fable ain't done
He put his life on the table
When He died now I'm able
To revive what was dormant
In my heart for so long
The holy power to disable
All the bad that I'd done
I'm justified in my Father's eyes
The song has been sung
