[Spoken Intro]

Jesus is Lord of the storm and the sunshine man

Keep moving forward fam


[Verse 1]

Uh

Keep on trippin

Keep on falling

Keep on getting up

Keep on gripping

Keep on brawling

Keep on getting stuck

In my failures

Know that all things work together homie

Ships wit sailors

Go courageously through weather stormy

Wifey came out of the surgery with many scars

Hand of God came on with urgency with many stars

I know struggle comes with agony to check ya heart

But in your weaknesses the tragedy ignites the start

Hills to climb moving mountains not an easy feat

Chills to bind proving fountains is an easy drink

When the source of living water’s pure like Aquafina

Broken vessels seek the kingdom cure in God’s arena

My baby didn’t get to see the light 6 weeks of life

But know they better in the gifted hands of Jesus Christ

If he decide to give’em back to us know strife ill strike

We never timid faith of mustard seeds receive a spike

[Spoken Chorus]: Pastor Tony Evans

Can I challenge you today?

I'mma challenge myself too

In light of all that's been going on

I want to challenge us

To put our faith

Over our fears

Sometimes you can't control fear

Cause it just comes on ya and

It's just all up in your grill

I mean it just all over you

Today place faith over your fears


[Verse 2]

9 to 5 on the grind

Making ends to meet

Obligations for the fam

On my mind I sink

To troubles of this life

Struggles double twice

Hope to find a resolution

Through thick of strife

A wealthy generation

Me and wifey do pursue

Building legacies our youngins

Reproduce the fruit

We on the battlefield

We summon God

Reduce the mute

Equip the battle shield

We on the job

Reintroduce

We clash with poverty

Renewed through stewardship and giving

Trust in his sovereignty

We prove that through his lips we living

Financial peace with Dave

Would plant a seed to unify

A slight increase to make a way

So that we both could fly

Sunday dinner’s up in mama whip

Was not preferred

Yet it prepared the way the trauma hit

My hope reserved

So when that money looking funny

Take a look at God

The earth is his hands

The fullness boy is never flawed

[Spoken Chorus]: Pastor Otis Lockett Jr

Now now this is what Jesus says

In John chapter 8 he says this

If you continue in my word

Then are you my disciples

If you stick to it

Because there's some things

That are going to make you

Question whether what I said was true

Your going to face some opposition

Your going to face some foes


[Verse 3]

Every year seem like a battle just to get ahead

Trusting God yet still I’m baffled why I’m sick in bed

This epileptic condition making me sick instead

Feel like a skeptic in prison shaking me sick of meds

I got a family depending on the God in me

But this season got me feeling like I can’t achieve

Its a pain this thorn up in my flesh its gotta leave

But the God who saves just tells me chill and let it breath

Hope is all I really got out on this battleground

Don’t sleep its more than just enough to make the turnaround

When I adjourn the frown move to truth and earn the crown

Samson’s vigor gives me proof the fruit in use abounds

This music ministry the entity his grace resounds

A war with enmity the enemy won’t take me down

I keep on coming hard up in the paint like tractor trailer

Standing on his word with scars my God the master trainer

[Spoken Chorus]: Eric Thomas

Listen to me

Pain is temporary

It may last for a minute

Or an hour or a day

Or even a year

But eventually it will subside

And something else will take its place

If I quit however it will last forever

I dare you to take a little pain

I dare you

You ain't gone die

At the end of pain is success
