N.L.M.D.

HOOK:

COME PICK ME UP SO I CAN SEE BEYOND,

THE DRAMA THAT I'M GOING THROUGH.

PICK ME UP SO I CAN SEE BEYOND, AND TAKE ME UP UP HIGHER

LORD, WHEN IT ALL HITS THE FAN I LAY IT DOWN,

TAKE THE WEIGHT OF MY LIFE AND MY DOUBT,

DON'T KNOW WHY ID EVER QUESTION YOUR CROWN,

CAUSE YOU NEVER LET ME DOWN!

LORD, WHEN IT ALL HITS THE FAN I LAY IT DOWN,

TAKE THE WEIGHT OF MY LIFE AND MY DOUBT,

DON'T KNOW WHY ID EVER QUESTION YOUR CROWN,

CAUSE YOU NEVER LET ME DOWN! LORD

VERSE 1:

I been going through a hard time and the girl that i love don't love me

We used to be inseperable but now she don't want no part of me.

Disseminate this issue maximize proficiency

i learned to keep my distance don't really trust people stay away from me.

Deleterious in my mind state my friend just raised the crime rate

why they hating on me cause i follow Christ its erroneous why you desecrate?

When you trust in Him and you lay it down, give it up and you cry Jesus.

I can say it cause He never let me down and He met me when i was helpless.

He will meet you right where you at and He met me when i was homeless,

He met me up in that cell block and now I'm fired up and on focus.

Copas serve a big God, and He breaking through the facade,

He see all the dirt I do my life is licorice, pernod. Ugh!

Throw it up and I lay it down I need a doctor to see me through,

o bah ma care what is up with that and what is up with our worldview?

break me down and you build me up you know what is best for me.

Why would i doubt your crown You never let me down help us to see You, LORD!

HOOK:

LORD, WHEN IT ALL HITS THE FAN I LAY IT DOWN,

VERSE 2:

He never let me down, felt His love all around (me) /

Picked me up when I was falling down /

Then He put me on solid ground /

Now I'm running, steady headed for the Red Letters /

Leaking out my soul like a bed wetter /

I never been better, living under His feathers /

I can face storms in any weather /

He's a trend setter, moving in the earth /

Fluent in His work, Looming in the church /

Seeing mankind, as a land mine, so got a grand sign so don't ruin out worth /

Now I'm protected, souls resurrected /

When the chaos of life gets hectic /

He is my healer, provider and medic /

I confess it, in the Bible I read it /

Nothing will conquer me, nothing will take me over /

Cause I stand on the Word of God and my Jehovah /

My living King (sigh) He offers living springs /

He is supreme, and we esteem, His love over everything /

Never have I seen the righteous forsaken /

Now it's time for us to awaken /

History shaking, and God will come through no matter what we are facing /

Nobody compares to you, so you deserve the crown /

And everyday I wake up I know you'll never let me down.

HOOK:

LORD, WHEN IT ALL HITS THE FAN I LAY IT DOWN,

TAKE THE WEIGHT OF MY LIFE AND MY DOUBT,

DON'T KNOW WHY ID EVER QUESTION YOUR CROWN,

CAUSE YOU NEVER LET ME DOWN!

LORD, WHEN IT ALL HITS THE FAN I LAY IT DOWN,

TAKE THE WEIGHT OF MY LIFE AND MY DOUBT,

DON'T KNOW WHY ID EVER QUESTION YOUR CROWN,

CAUSE YOU NEVER LET ME DOWN! LORD

I WROTE A LETTER THIS YEAR,
I DID NOT KNOW WHERE TO SEND IT TO AND OVERCOMING ME WERE THESE FEARS,
FLOODING ME WITH THEM TEARS /
CAUSE YOU REALLY DO NOT KNOW ME, AND I REALLY DO NOT KNOW YOU /
BUT I WANNA BRIDGE THE GAP AND COME TOGETHER BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT REAL MEN DO /
