I'll Tell It
Rev. Claude Jeter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's plenty things that I could be addressing but first let me count these blessings
I think him for my family, my wife, these beautiful girls of mine
Who I’m kidding I’m gonna run out of time I can’t tell it all
Yeah there’s plenty things I could be addressing but first let me count them blessings
Even with mountains in my way he still give me strength to climb
Who I’m kidding I’m gonna run out of time I can’t tell it all
God been good to me and mine no need for stressing
My pops use to sing count your many blessings
See what the Lord has done, things that I’ve overcome
He treats me like his own real talk like Russell Wilson stepson
And anything I lack he always got my back, and when I’m weak
He gives me a push better yet a light pat like Tom Brady ahh shucks
The devil wanna try me but I ain’t scared so I don’t buck
Lucifer you lame, don’t matter what field I’m on my prayer still gonna be the same
Mann the boy got game, Who Shuttlesworth
Naww the one from Nazareth you know Christ is his name
He died for for me, so I ain’t gotta feel that pain
When prayers go up blessings come down, so my war room is where you’ll find me
Just using what I got to get what I want, word to Ronnie
But most of all he turned my life around like peter, paul, I’m good when I fall
Who I’m kidding I can’t tell it all
There's plenty things that I could be addressing but first let me count these blessings
I think him for my family, my wife, these beautiful girls of mine
Who I’m kidding I’m gonna run out of time I can’t tell it all
Yeah there’s plenty things I could be addressing but first let me count them blessings
Even with mountains in my way he still give me strength to climb
Who I’m kidding I’m gonna run out of time I can’t tell it all
Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if my mind won't be at ease I count blessings instead of sheep
Thankful for the many nights my mama said a pray for me
I lose track of my path I know your footprints in the sand for me
Ordering my steps, this world in not my home
With all the envy, hate, and death, it's enough to make you cry
And that's okay cause Jesus wept
Young prodigal son I came back home cause that was best
He's always right when things go left
Today someone ain't wake up and I did
Somebody lost a child, and I still get to see my kid
The simple things in life we undervalue and we take them for granted
Faith the size of a mustard seed is what I done planted
And so now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
Supply me of my every need oh thank you Lord for blessing me
That devil lurking, tryna search and destroy
But my faith in the Lord so I count it all joy
Can't tell it all
There's plenty things that I could be addressing but first let me count these blessings
I think him for my family, my wife, these beautiful girls of mine
Who I’m kidding I’m gonna run out of time I can’t tell it all
Yeah there’s plenty things I could be addressing but first let me count them blessings
Even with mountains in my way he still give me strength to climb
Who I’m kidding I’m gonna run out of time I can’t tell it all
