"Praise the LORD in song, for He has done excellent things;
Let this be known throughout the earth."
(Isaiah 12:5)
Story behind the song
I wrote this after I had failed hard in ministry, or at least I felt like it. I was extremely depressed and knew that I needed more of God before the rap ministry blew up any more or I ultimately would die spiritually. That was a risk I was unwilling to take.
Lyrics
Chorus...
Can You come and take me Lord, by Your side
Can You come and take me to eternal life
Cuz I'm standin in the dark and I got no light
And the people look to me to do what's right
Can You come and lift me up Lord, so I can see
everything in store, what You got for me
Don't just throw me on the stage with a ministry
Before we get this started Lord, I must be cleaned
Lord Jesus please forgive me for the whip in my hand
I knew all about Your love and yet I beat You again
See, I tried to start a fight, but You wouldn't fight back
And I heard You scream "I love you" when I held a 40 in my lap
tryin to ease my pain, cuz my family wouldn't stay
or stick around to help eachother, even though I cried and prayed
So I screamed at Jesus Christ, "Lord, I hate You"
Took on a life of crime, drove a nail right thru You
And it's true that I was wrong, should've died and went to hell
But we was on different pages, You saved me like a fairy tale
where all is well and the good guys prevail
You converted me like Saul, told me time to show and tell
So here I am again Lord, yes it's me
Have mercy on my soul, please set me free
Yes,here I am Lord, here I am
You know I felt the flames of hell and I thought that I was damned
When I was hopin You would kill me, You sent the Holy Ghost to steal me
When the devil tried to kill me, I felt Your Spirit come and heal me
While in my mind I wonder why You cared so much for my life
You help me fly, I'm soarin high with my eyes on the prize
God I'm pleadin once again, can I ever be forgiven
I think of all my sin and wonder how can I be livin
But here I am again Lord and to You it's the same
as if it were my first time, but my Lord, I'm ashamed
Chorus...
Is this a craze or just a daze, I'm amazed I can be saved
Cuz I know I misbehaved and that I should be enslaved
to Satan and his demons, locked down and bound
The sea should fall on me, just like Pharoah I should drown
Lord I'm lettin out cries, will I ever see
a life without hurt, what You got for me
Cuz I fall a little short and I think I should abort
from Your will that I distort, You still defend me in Your court
Still I tend to run away, will You trap me in a whale
Then set me free like Jonah so Your gospel I can tell
You should know that I'm inadequate, having difficulties gettin it
To catch Your will I need a mit the size of Frisco's golden bridge
Because I am the chief of sinners, my brother made me a thug
Because I came out brown daddy gave me no love
Till I got a new daddy, but still I chose the streets
And You expect me to believe that You callin me?
Chorus...
