“deep meditation” [sherwin gardner]
So I wanna sing my song. It’s to God now/ But I gotta say by like David and make and some declarations./ Now you see the day and age that we’re living in/ you can’t try to tief from the hand that feed you/ My mamma’s good, you know, but listen,
Father God I come to you/ Presenting mi heart and my life to you/ I present mi pain and my strife to you/ Present all my troubles and my worries to you/ That’s what I want to do/ Oh Lord I come to you/ Presenting my heart and my life to you/ I stretch out mi hand and Lord, I give it to you/ That’s what I do, hey/ Take it and do what you want to do, hey
Father God I come to you/ Giving up everything just to live for You/ Leaving everything just to be with You/ To sup with You to sing with You, Lord/ To dance with You, romance with You/ Do everything that you want me to/ To run with You, to laugh with You/ To smile, to smile, and to be with You
May the words of my mouth/ And the meditation of my heart/ Be acceptable in thy sight
Lord, mi strength and redeemer/ Father God, may the words of my mouth,/ And the meditation of my heart/ Be acceptable in thy sight/ Father God, my strength and redeemer
Our closeness is dat I want/ Our depth is dat I want/ To be deep and deeper, dat I want/ Jesus Christ is a dat I want/ I want to have a new relationship/ I don’t wanna quit/ I’m not going to jump off this ship/ Better relationship/ I’m not gonna quit/ No way me na go jump off this ship/ Me climbing up the mountain/ Drinking from your fountain/ I tell you now, mi going it higher/ Want to be with You, my Father/ ’Cuz Jesus Christ you are mi lover/ Your pain can admit all of mi pressure/ Jesus Christ, nobody sweeter/ That’s why I sing praises to You, Maker
Father God, my Lord and redeemer/ Jesus thee keep out thy servants also from presumptuous sins/ Let it not have dominion over me (no, no, no, no, no)/ Enjoy the upright (upright)/ And I shall be innocent (innocent)/ From the great, great transgressions (great transgressions)/ So let the words of my mouth/ Meditation of my heart/ Be acceptable in thy sight
You’re incredible/ And you’re a faithful/ You’re a wonderful/ You’re a grateful/ You’re a sweet, sweet God/ That’s why I sing praises..
