I Used To Date A Girl Named World
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.
Lyrics
I use to date a Girl Named “World”
I use to date a girl named world.
(Hey) Decorated in diamonds and pearls
(Man), you want it, she got it, she know how to flaunt it
I was thinking about putting a ring on it.
(Oh) I use to date this girl named world.
(hey) Decorated in diamonds and pearls
Man, you want it, she got it, she know how to flaunt it
I was thinking about putting a ring on it.
She knew about my sinful habits she use to feed them
Offering me forbidden fruit, I use to eat them
My conscience warned me she wasn’t right, I didn’t heed him
I told her I loved God, She said “you don’t need him
God don’t do nothing for you, though you do his chores
But if you worship me, the world is yours
She offered popularity, success and friends
Cars by Lexus, Infinity, Mercedes Benz
I could have anything and I was filled with greed
narcotics, and exotics anything I need
Ok they’re really just wants but she made them needs
Because I got addicted to them and the way she pleased Me,
And I was out of control and knew it
But I wasn’t strong enough to break free from her influence
It was going all wrong, it was taking its toll
She seemed to offer a lot, but was she worth my soul?
I use to date a girl named world.
Decorated in diamonds and pearls
you want it, she got it, and she know how to flaunt it
I was thinking about putting a ring on it.
I use to date a girl named world.
Decorated in diamonds and pearls
you want it, she got it, and she know how to flaunt it
I was thinking about putting a ring on it.
One day I was flipping the channels with my TV remote
There was a preacher reminding of the words Jesus spoke
He ask what’s it profit a man to gain the world
If he loses his soul, Was he talking bout my girl
He said greater is He that is in me,
Than he that is in the world
My girl came in, looking like madder than sin,
And my remote against the wall she hurled
She said choose ye this day whom you will serve
The world, or the Lord
I said a silent prayer, got my ring back from her
And then escorted the world out the door.
I said no to the world, to what would I say, “Yes”?
I asked Jesus in my heart, and I confessed my mess
The Lord came in and forgave my sins
That’s why the world is now my X
I use to date a girl named world.
(Hey) Decorated in diamonds and pearls
But now I got a new friend and I’m born again
The world will lead you to hell in the end.
(Oh) I use to date this girl named world.
(hey) Decorated in diamonds and pearls
But now I got a new friend and I’m born again
The world will lead you to hell in the end.
"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both
I use to date a girl named world.
Decorated in diamonds and pearls
you want it, she got it, and she know how to flaunt it
I was thinking about putting a ring on it.
I use to date a girl named world.
Decorated in diamonds and pearls
you want it, she got it, and she know how to flaunt it
I was thinking about putting a ring on it.
