Canon - Praises and Arrows lyrics

[Bridge + Hook] You give me a shield of salvation for this battle You give me Your strength to call Your name in this battle Let praise to our God, praise to our God Be like arrows straight to our enemies Let praise to our God, Praise to our God Be like arrows straight to our enemies ‘Cause this is war, this is war, and this is war [Verse 1 - Canon] (They call me Canon) Now pardon me if my heart make it harder I don' mean for me to be fallin off like a leaf But I am gettin goin like the wind comin up on autumn So much mud in my water The life I took in was so tainted Until I drunk a cup from the stream of the living Author Though my days'll get longer I keep my conscience on lock And on guard like a barber with clippers on the edge when I start up This Gospel got me caught up In the middle of fighting a battle For the sake of the Gospel it's awesome How I get awestruck Still fighting when I'm following Jesus, the King Oh, you better believe it Man I cannot break away when the whole world finna stumble when it crumble to pieces Look around this a circle of people like a schoolyard till we down with the kingdom Kings give us stripes like Adidas So the enemies stay down but beneath us Satan there won't be no slaughter no beef Bow down to the Father And if God is known as the author Then what should the pot say to the potter? And because there won't be no replacement Can't nobody word that can claim that statement It's Jesus Son of God who came in to die, better rise for the occasion! [Hook] Let praise to our God, praise to our God Be like arrows, straight to our enemies Let praise to our God, praise to our God Be like arrows, straight to our enemies ‘Cause this is war, this is war, and this is war [Verse 2 - Deraj] The load can be light or heavy depending on how you weigh it Sing a new song but be careful of what you sayin' ‘Cause words can hold power, for instance Folks could catch it from a bow or bow just depending on how I say it so I say I'll sing it ‘till it reach Heaven I'll never be home alone He'll never leave Kevin no Know (I know) I know just what he said Just like the blood that flows a pretty rose He wrote it all in red and if the stars are overhead And the flowers all sleep in bed and the sparrow is always fed I bet I can trust what He said He loved me when I was ugly, He could've left me for dead He always be thinking of me, He chose to love me instead And in spite of all that they said I was never begging for bread Now I'm dancing out of my clothes And y'all think I'm gone in the head I'm lookin up overhead and I told em go on ahead of me I'm still workin on all these melodies [Bridge] You give me a shield of salvation for this battle You give me Your strength to call Your name in this battle [Verse 3 - Trip Lee] (Yes sir) I see an army marchin to its place Guns in the air with a grimace on their face Armor on their bodies' military boots laced I can't make it out alive oh Lord So lord give me grace (please) This is war, believe me this thing crazy Smoke all in the air till the atmosphere hazy But I ain't starin at the enemy that hates me I'm got my eyes on You Lord, you amaze me Hey, they try to tell me that I'm gone On the wrong side of the battle I should go home Hold up, but I should tell em let em on The side of the Lion of Judah, I know He's strong I can't win it on my own, shouldn't try My heart is full of fire homie take a look inside I ain't got no other weapons on my side But the truth so I'm shooting up my praise to the sky [Hook] Let praise to our God, praise to our God Be like arrows, straight to our enemies Let praise to our God, praise to our God Be like arrows, straight to our enemies ‘Cause this is war, this is war, and this is war
