Phillip John Lara - I Thank God lyrics

[Hook: Philly Titan] I thank God for showing me the light cuz it's hard when you ain't living right. And my cards were thrown to me right But I didn't play em like I should of so I had to pay the price. I thank God for showing me the light cuz it's hard when you ain't living right. And my cards were thrown to me right but I didn't play em like I should of so I had to pay the price [Verse 1: Philly Titan] Now every time I gotta stop and take a look at life because it's getting so crooked like a hooked knife. And everybody look at me like I done took a life I guess their blind and they aren't looking right. I'm thinking after life what is the world gunna do with all this sinning going on a lot of people screwed. If we could all just get along then maybe we can prove. That God has always been there standing right in front of you but it's still up to you to truly grasp the word of Christ. Imagine if you never had a chance to start a life. Now think about if you the one that lives a harder life. Because there's people every where that ain't gone live tonight. So if your free or whether you feel like your a slave. You gotta let Faith and Love brighten up your day. It's the testimony of our Lord don't be ashamed. Cuz if your living in sin then your the one to blame now your the one to change if you finally decide. In one body and spirit we were all baptized and you can chastise me if you don't like my song. Cuz with the Lord by my side I know where I belong. You know how they say there's no place like home. I sing my praises to God just like a fight song and Ima fight on cuz we're the chosen generation. Let's come together my people as one holy nation [Hook: Philly Titan] I thank God for showing me the light cuz it's hard when you ain't living right. And my cards were thrown to me right But I didn't play em like I should of so I had to pay the price. I thank God for showing me the light cuz it's hard when you ain't living right. And my cards were thrown to me right but I didn't play em like I should of so I had to pay the price [Verse 2: Philly Titan] People I grew up with I done trusted done left me. The chain I hold is heavy across from my mind. In due time I will see the day that all this hatred and jealousy will soon be washed away I pray. Hammered nails arrest the cross you die for my sins and still no love lost. Blood shed to the floor so that I can breathe again family threw me afloat and now I'm floating in in Sin. Daddy left why daddy gone this ain't shelter this ain't home. Part of my life is misery I promise it hit straight to the bone. Life goes on while you ain't here so I'm floating away, smoking today, praying that God will take me away. I heavenly wait for your return and my coming up. Cuz in my own mind your name be blowing up. Ease that pain up cuz I want to inflict it on em. Wait for judgement day tell the deacon gone and creep up on em [Hook: Philly Titan] I thank God for showing me the light cuz it's hard when you ain't living right. And my cards were thrown to me right But I didn't play em like I should of so I had to pay the price. I thank God for showing me the light cuz it's hard when you ain't living right. And my cards were thrown to me right but I didn't play em like I should of so I had to pay the price [Verse 3: Philly Titan] No man can put me to shame cuz I believe you should be thankful for all the blessing you receive. You can prophesy but it will soon fail on you. Don't let the wicked and hate put a spell on ya. No I won't tell on ya if I see you doing wrong cuz only God can judge when all our times gone. And he will shine on even to the darkest place. I can't wait til the day that I see Marcus face. Pull in my parking space I know I got one reserved. You will get nothing less than that which you deserve. Check how I use my words just to give a little thanks because it's more in your actions and the way you think. It's in the way you drink from the blood of Jesus Christ. God's approval has always been at the cheapest price. But somehow it seems so hard to give away. To give your life up to God and then just walk away. I bet you'll talk away if somebody mentions the money and all the fancy cars. Rappers always talking' about in all their fancy bars. Actually if it wasn't there they wouldn't dance at all. Just to get their hands on some money they'll go and chance it all. See I know what I'm talking about cuz I did it too. Live a life full of crime and I'll admit it too. But I finally see that I was just a fool so I look up to the Sky Lord our praise goes to you
