If it's hot then give God the glory. If it's not then blame me.
If it's hot then give God the glory. If it's not then blame Mitch.
I'm Joe Johnson a local United Methodist Pastor. Before I felt God calling me into the ministry I thought I was going to be a rap artist. For 8 years I did nothing with music until my wife introduced me to a group called "The Gospel Gansters" in 1998. It was an eye opening experience. I was amazed to see people using rap for the glory of God. That day I picked up paper and pen and I haven't put it down yet.
Story behind the song
One of my kids got in trouble and I waited for 3 days before I addressed it. The song is about what is going through my mind to tell them. (As of this moment I haven't addressed it yet).
Lyrics
SLOW DOWN
(Chorus)
We see it, we see your actions contradiction what you believe in
And you’re not practicing the things you've heard us preaching
Making decisions we can no longer agree with
the way we see it You need to slow down, Down , Down
You need to slow down, Down( up), Down (up)
You need to slow down, Down, Down
You need to slow Down (Slow down Slow Down)
Your Moving to fast, headed for a crash,
Broken glass, and people gasping. It’s a disaster
You just wouldn’t listen, won’t pay attention
Didn't matter what i Mentioned to you, off in the distance I hear your laughter
You’r wheels kept spinning, the whole time sinning
I,m Preaching one thing but the oppoite your living, where you plan on spending, Your here after
It’s Your mom’s worst fear, could soon be here
Your life disappeares, (and for what) in the blink of a tear, your in a casket
(Chorus)
You need to repent, get them knees bent
because The Judgment - is coming quickly , Can’t you see the warning Signs
Your playing with fire, the devil is a liar
He’s as ugly as sin but he sounds like a choir,
he’ll tell you what you desire He’ll say your just fine
but chose ye to day Who’ll you obey,
but it's got to be more than just words that you say.
you got to walk that way. Not on the boarder line
Your living Luke warm, your will is torn
But the devil be warned, one the day you were born.
Me your mother and God swore. -This child is mine.
(Chorus)
(Music only)
The wise fear the LORD and avoid evil, but a fool is reckless and rushes ahead Proverbs 14:16
The one who is slow to anger shows great understanding, but the one who is quick tempered shows foolishness. Proverbs 14:29
But be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger. James 1:19
(Bridge) (song over the verses)
Slow down slow down. Slow down, Slow down?
Slow down slow down. Slow down, Slow down?
Slow down slow down. Slow down, Slow down?
You need to slow down, Down , Down
You need to slow down, Down( up), Down (up)
You need to slow down , Down, Down
You need to slow Down (Slow down Slow Down)
You need to slow down, Down , Down
You need to slow down, Down( up), Down (up)
You need to slow down , Down, Down
You need to slow Down (Slow down Slow Down)
