Coffey Anderson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the King of King in ancient days
Lately I′ve been, I've been prayin' hard
More than a conqueror O we′ll be, we′ll be praising God
Let's go
Come on
Turn it up!
I see this life in times
Swing my heart across the line
Seek it out and ye shall find
Old but I'm not that old
Young but I′m still so bold
Greatest story ever told
Gain the world and lose your lose soul
I am comin' alive
By doin′ the right thing
(Sing it again)
I can't even lie around and do nothin'
Couldn′t lie, couldn′t lie, couldn't lie
Every blessing I receive makes me think of Christ
(It′s goin' down)
We′re up in Jesus
You better move
You better dance
Let's make tonight one night you′ll 'member
He'll change your life
So clap your hands
(Turn it up)
Lately I′ve been, I′ve been givin' praise
To the King of King in ancient days
Lately I′ve been, I've been prayin′ hard
More than a conqueror
O we'll be, we′ll be praisin' God (listen)
Came in the building to praise him
Two hands you know I'ma raise ′em
On my face you see the joy
Sunday mornin′ ()
A T L to that Nashville
Texas ()
U K to that ()
And then call me on you ()
Washed in the blood
I know I'm clean
Beat so hard I got to lean
Testimony: Let me tell ya ′bout him
You ain't came
