Favored Ladies of God in Christ
Yo
When the people talk it better come from You God
Tell me who ya
Who ya true rock and ya hallelujah
We 'gon give Him praise from here to Cuba
Woo I need to woosah
Jesus washed my sins without a loofah

Ooh I
Do not mean to whoop unless it's hula
If you a hooker with a hookah praise Him in your tube top
Those of you who wretched there's a ratchet in His toolbox
Let His fire purify ya cause your match or lighter to drop
When I serve God, I lift up my left hand
Right hand is righteous, it's right where I rest and
Don't need no gymnast to know where my head stand
He built like a groom still He look like my best man
Woo yeah yeah
Yeah my body is a temple for the Holy Spirit
I remember there were days when He would not make an appearance
It's apparent that my life needed a parent's interference
Now I ooh wait I can feel conviction in the spirit
Yo I wait on the Lord
Wait
And I'm filling all up on His word
Order my steps I don't walk on the curb
Giving me love I will never deserve
Won over the enemy
Got better life ahead of me now
Had to put away thinking that don't work
Getting rid of all the pain and the fear that brought doubt
Living in a better state of the mind no more hurt
I be singing and praising the Lord no asking
I'm on a new pathing
Everlasting and casting my woes
Walking in confidence know that He rose
Worth in the Lord no man for His role
This ain't no hoax and not merely a parable
Betting on God ain't got need for a power ball
Lord is infallible
Word is invaluable
Know that through Him I defeat all my foes
Start talking to God get the Holy Ghost
La mañana givin' Honor to the Most
Three in Uno You know be the numeral
Uno
Can't ignore You like my name is Samuel
Sammy
Made the manual
So You know me well
Taking orders like I read the menu well
Holy Spirit moving in me can you tell
Knew my pneuma needed You, Emmanuel
Now my shade more like a shadow
My mistake I shouldn't babble
Mama's steak my only cattle
I don't worry or unravel
I got warriors for battle
They get gory with an adder
Took the L for glory after
When I serve God, I lift up my left hand
Right hand is righteous, it's right where I rest and
Don't need no gymnast to know where my head stand
He built like a groom still He look like my best man
When I serve God, I lift up my left hand
Right hand is righteous, it's right where I rest and
Don't need no gymnast to know where my head stand

He built like a groom still He look like my best man
Best man
