God Favored Me
Hezekiah Walker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How God favored me in spite of my enemies
And if God did it for me he'll do the same thing for you
Don't worry about your haters
Your haters Can't do nothing with you
Listen to these words
Love is patient, caring, love is kind
But I've had my share of love abused
Manipulated and it's strength misused
And I can't help but give you glory
When I think about my story
And I know you favored me
Because my enemies did try
But couldn't triumph over me
Yes they did try
But couldn't triumph over me
I'm still here
I'm still alive
I'm still blessed
On my way to my destiny
Because the favor of God is on my life
Let me tell you about love
Love is patient, caring, love is kind
Love is felt most when it's genuine
But I've had my share of love abused
Manipulated and it's strength misused
And I can't help but give you glory
When I think about my story
And I know you favored me
Because my enemies did try
But couldn't triumph over me
Yes they did try
But couldn't triumph over me
They whispered, conspired, they told their lies (God favors me)
My character, my integrity, my faith in God (He favors me)
Will not fall, will not bend, won't compromise (God favors me)
I speak life and prosperity and I speak health (God favors me)
They whispered, conspired, they told their lies (God favors me)
My character, my integrity, my faith in God (He favors me)
Will not fall, will not bend, won't compromise (God favors me)
I speak life and prosperity and I speak health (God favors me)
They whispered, conspired, they told their lies (God favors me)
My character, my integrity, my faith in God (He favors me)
Will not fall, will not bend, won't compromise (God favors me)
I speak life and prosperity and I speak health (God favors me)
Say yes (yes), yes (yes), yes (yes) God favors me
Say yes (yes), yes (yes), say yes (yes) God favors me (God favors me)
Say yes (yes), yes (yes), yes (yes) God favors me
Say yes (yes), yes (yes), say yes (yes) God favors me (God favors me)

Im a 14 year old girl. I've been a "christian" for most of my life. I recently started reading the bible every day during quarantine! I've grown my faith so much during this global pandemic. I'm so grateful that God is using this hard time to make new wine out of me. Our God always finds a way. ❤
