But God Lyrics
[Intro]
Those two words got so much anointing
But God
[Verse 1]
I would be so caught up in religion
Tryna get to Heaven on ambition
I was pulling overtime in prison
Sending prayers up
When nobody else would listen (But God)
I would still be high in my addiction
I would still be dying for a living
I would still be sick with no physician
‘Bout to give up, doctor told me it was finished
[Chorus]
(But God), pulled me out of that grave
Broke me out of those chains, who else can say
“Kill me on Friday, rise on Sunday”
Nobody, nobody but God
Can bear this weight, can take a lease out on the grave
Nobody, nobody but God
Deserves that Name, so who else you gonna praise
But God
[Verse 2]
Man I think the devil is a mail man
Serving papers up like I’m late on my payment
Ain’t nobody told him “it’s already paid man I’m already saved, man”
Thought he had a claim, (But God), bet death
Thought he had Him on a Friday, soft serve
He forgot about Sunday, so sweet that He cavitied the grav
ot the tombstone engraved and the only thing it said
[Chorus]
(But God), pulled me out of that grave
Broke me out of those chains, who else can say
“Kill me on Friday, rise on Sunday”
Nobody, nobody but God
Can bear this weight, can take a lease out on the grave
Nobody, nobody but God
Deserves that Name, so who else you gonna praise
But God
[Bridge]
He lifted me, lifted me out
He lifted me, lifted me out
He lifted me, lifted me out
Look where I’m standing, look where I’m standing now
He lifted me, lifted me out
He lifted me, lifted me out
He lifted me, lifted me out
Look where I’m standing, look where I’m standing now
[Chorus]
Nobody, nobody but God
Can bear this weight, can take a lease out on the grave
Nobody, nobody but God
Deserves that Name, so who else you gonna praise
But God
Nobody, nobody but God
Nobody, nobody but God
Who else you gonna praise but God?
