Somebody help me
I'm walking in the favor of God, his grace and mercy have brought me this far. I will believe all that His word says about me; like in poverty, it's not my destiny. I'm walking, I'm living, I'm walking in the favor of GOD.
Favor, I speak favor, I speak favor, favor, I speak favor, I speak favor , over your life (over my life)
I will believe all that His word says about me; like in poverty it's not my destiny. Im walking, Im living, Im walking in the favor of GOD.
I said favor, I speak favor, favor, I speak favor, I speak favor, over your life.

There IS nothing like the favor of God. CHILDREN OF THE MOST HIGH GOD IF WE KEEP WALKING UPRIGHTLY BEFORE THE LORD, HIS FAVOR WILL TRULY CONTINUE TO REST ON US. REMEMBER THAT HOLINESS IS RIGHT.
