Favor

Lyrics

[Hook] Wasn't a fancy car, wasn't a diamond ring Wasn't friends or lovers at the end of the day Coz this life's hard and it can bring trouble In the midst of this trouble no one can take it away You need His favor (x4) It was His favor (x4) [Verse 1] I'm a witness so I'm taking a stand Life and trouble go together like bacon and pans There's gon' be some up and downs like I'm shaking your hand And everybody gets down just like a snake in the sand But God's faithful to man, He got favor His hand could take a lame with no cane, make him able to stand Man He can reach inside of us with a deposit and got us up outta pits Reach you at the bottom even when bottom is bottomless I was just there, I'm uprooted, my survival is Not cause I'm the fittest but my God is a revivalist That's just what He is, that's just what He does Recognize what it isn't, recognize what it was [Verse 2] Of course it was His favor, how else you get that job? You ain't have the paper, it's favor that helped you get that ride With your credit, forget it, how else you get that crib? Single parent, apparently Jesus helps you with them kids How'd you go from child of wrath to a child of God I know the math, I know how to add, favor multiplied Grace came out His hands and feet, grace came out His side So amazing so I praise Him I realize I was born in sin but born again Like I was born on U.S. soil Not from K.C. but through grace see a dude that's Royal Such an unlikely pick I'm like Susan Boyle And there's enough grace unlike U.S. oil [Verse 3] Favor is grace to live, grace to die, grace to give At the pinnacle is when God came and placed a bridge Between Himself and we who were on the outside We were lepers, we were desperate like all them housewives It supplied strength and it supplied need It's free, constantly flowing like an I.V Enough for everybody even in India Arie Up on the daily, daily it's with me like I.D I was once on top, thought I was hot to death Then I dropped and I brought this all on myself Then His grace came down, gave me life for death After the swap, now I'm back on top of the shelf [Outro] Now you prepared my table You did all the labor I don't even worry cause I know that You are able You even blessed my neighbor He didn't even have TV But now he has cable
