Sunday Morning
Jaz Donell
Sunday morning, I know I'm blessed, keep the family tight
I love my brothers and sisters, I'm glad we share this life
In holiness, nobody's perfect, but we serving Christ
And learn to love each other daily, yeah you heard it right
I turn the other cheek no matter if you hurt me twice
My father told me knock the devil out and bring the words of life
And leave no room for bitterness, that's how you learn to fight
The real battle you should know, forgiveness breaks the hurdles like
I close my eyes and see how God redeemed my life from sin
Where I was at it's dangerous, He took me out the lion's den
On the road to Zion bumping Lauryn Hill, if I could sing
I'd do it like Aretha on Amazing Grace, invite the King
No matter what the world does, I get in line with Him
Submitting to His will and nature till the Lord and I in sync
It's perseverance daily, serve my God until my final blink
My people counting on me, use my talents to inspire them
But my sins got me questioning my salvation
Like, am I really saved or did I master manipulation?
My actions don't match my faith
I was walking through Central Station
On my way to church, ignoring a man that asked for change, it's
Obvious I'm a stranger to living like Christ, the danger
Of trying to fit in with this society, it'll change ya
And this ain't nothing new, homie
Where I'm from, it's cruel
They hate you if you speaking sense, they don't love the truth
My destiny coming closer, can't get too comfortable
I'm sorry but I chose to follow God, I cannot run with you
I'm too blessed, I got everything I prayed for
But even if I wouldn't, God, I'm still good, I'm thankful
They used to doubt me, now I'm everywhere they said I can't go
Jesus freed the slaves in real life, this ain't Django
Dive into the beat, trust the Father, let the pain go
Sophisticated in my artistry, I feel like Van Gogh
But this is sweet for your ears, Luther Vandross
Composing gospel music that can resurrect a dead soul
They thought I'd give 'em 16 but I just go off
And show 'em that I really do this, proof to you I'm Mozart
But black on both sides, most definitely the most hard
With more heart than Jean-Michel, crafting all this dope art
Yeah, you broke the chains, you made me whole, Lord, lately I realized
I never knew ya but you healed my heart, you made the pain go away
Go away
Yeah, you broke the chains, you made me whole, Lord, lately I realized
I never knew ya but you healed my heart, you made the pain go away
Go away
