Favor
The Ambassador (Rap) Lyrics

Wasn't a fancy car
I didn't need material possessions

Wasn't a diamond ring
I didn't need expensive jewelry

Wasn't friends or lovers at the end of the day
I didn't need human relationships to feel fulfilled

Cause this life's hard and it can bring trouble
Life is difficult and full of challenges

In the midst of this trouble no one can take it away
In the midst of these challenges, only God can provide a solution

You need His favor, His favor, His favor, His favor
To overcome these challenges, you need God's favor

It was His favor, His favor, His favor, His favor
My success was solely due to God's favor

I'm a witness so I'm takin a stand
As someone who has experienced God's favor, I am speaking out

Life and trouble go together like bacon and pans
Life is full of ups and downs and struggles are a natural part of it

There's gon' be some up and downs like I'm shakin you're hand
Everyone will experience the highs and lows of life

And everybody gets down just like a snake in the sand
Everyone will face difficult times

But God's faithful to man
God is always faithful to us, even in difficult times

He's got favor
God's favor is always present

His hand could take a lame with no cane
God's power can heal the sick and the broken

Make him able to stand
God can give us the strength to overcome our challenges

Man He can reach inside of us with a deposit and got us up outta pits
God can help us out of our darkest moments

Reach you at the bottom even when bottom is bottomless
God can reach us even when we are at our lowest point

I was just there, I'm a product
I was once in a dark place, but God helped me through it

My survival is not 'cause I'm the fittest
My survival is due to God's grace, not my own strength

But my God is a revivalist
God can bring us back to life when we are broken

That's just what it is, that's just what He does
It's just part of God's nature to help and revive us

Recognize what it isn't, recognize what it was
We should recognize what God has done for us and what He hasn't

Of course it was His favor
It was obviously God's favor that helped me succeed

How else you get that job
God helped me get my job

You ain't have that paper
I didn't have the necessary qualifications

It's favor that helped you get that ride
It was God's favor that helped me get my car

With your credit, forget it
Without good credit, it's impossible to get a loan

How else you get that crib
God helped me get my house

Single parent, apparently Jesus helps you with them kids
God helps single parents raise their children

How'd you go from child of wrath to child of God
How did I go from being lost to being saved?

I know the math, I know how to add; favor multiplied
I understand that God's favor multiplies in our lives

Grace came out His hands and feet
Jesus brought grace through His suffering

Grace came out His side
Jesus sacrificed Himself to bring grace to all of us

So amazing so I praise Him, I realize
God's grace is amazing and I thank and praise Him for it

I was born in sin but born again
I was once lost but now I am saved

Like I was born on U.S. soil
It's like I was given a fresh start in life

Not from Casey, but through gracie
My salvation wasn't my doing, but was a result of God's grace

From the dude that's royal
My salvation came from the King of kings

Such an unlikely pick I'm like Susan Boyle
I was an unlikely candidate for salvation

There's enough grace unlike U.S. oil
There is an endless supply of God's grace

Favor is grace to live, grace to die, grace to give
God's favor is present in every aspect of our lives

At the pinnacle is when God came and placed a bridge
God bridged the gap between Himself and humanity

Between Himself and we who are on the outside
God reached out to those who were lost and separated from Him

We were lepers
We were outcasts who were shunned by society

We were desperate like all them housewives
We were in desperate need of salvation

It supplies strength and it supply need
God's favor gives us strength and meets our needs

It's free constantly flowin like a IV
God's favor is always available and never-ending

Enough for everybody even in India, I read
God's favor is available to everyone, everywhere

Up on the daily, daily He's with me like ID's
God is always with me, like an ID that I carry every day

I was once on top though I was high to death
I was once successful but was headed for destruction

Then I dropped and I brought this all on myself
I made mistakes that caused my downfall

Then His grace came down, gave me life from death
God's grace saved me from destruction and gave me new life

After the swap now I'm back on the top shelf
After exchanging my old, sinful life for new life in Christ, I am now thriving

Wooaaa, wooaaa, wooaaa, His favor
God's favor is amazing and powerful

Wooaaa, wooaaa, wooaaa, it was His favor
God's favor is what has led me to success

Now you prepared my table, You did all the labor
God has provided for me and done all the hard work

I don't even worry cuz I know that you are able
I don't worry about the future because I trust in God's ability to provide

You blessed my neighbor
God has also provided for my neighbor, who didn't have much before

He didn't even have tv, but now he has cable
God has blessed my neighbor with even small things like cable TV
