He Works Lyrics

[Intro: TobyMac, Kevin Max & Michael Tait]
Drop it, He works
Ayy hee-ee-ee-ee
On a smooth tip
Oh, come on
He works
Yeah, ha-ha
Open up your heart and live like that
The boys are back
And we cold kickin' it with Jesus Christ, ya know?

[Verse 1: TobyMac]
Well, I'm a Christian, and you know that's true
But sometimes, things are lookin' blue (Blue)
Because I lose sight and I, I fall back
I start chillin' to the wrong kinda rap (Yeah)
Suddenly, I look to see where I am
I call upon the Lord to give me a hand
My nature is sin, my flesh corrupt, y'all
But thank God things are lookin' up

[Chorus: TobyMac, Michael Tait, Kevin Max & Choir]
'Cause He works
He's workin' on my walk
Open up your heart and let Him work
And I know He works
He's workin' on my talk
Workin' on my talk, yeah
And, my God, He works
He's workin' in my life
He's makin' changes
And I said, "He works"
And we will get it right
Alright
Gonna get it right, y'all

[Verse 2: TobyMac]
In school Monday mornin' at 8 a.m
First period and I'm stuck with gym (Stuck with gym)
Get dressed in the locker room and head out the door
Not quite feelin' like I felt before (Felt before)
My boys grab my arm and pull me aside
"Yo, T." Yo, what? "It's time to get high"
I thought for a second, didn't utter a word
Looked 'im in the eyes, said "Haven't ya heard
About a change in my life?" (Right) "Now I'm free
Christ took time on a brother like me"
I turned, took a step as I walked away
I just smiled and couldn't help but say… (Okay)

[Chorus: TobyMac, Michael Tait, Kevin Max & Choir]
"He works"
He's workin' on my walk
He's movin'
And I know He works
He's workin' on my talk
On my talk
And, my God, He works
He's workin' in my life (Oh, trust in the Lord)
Oh oh, life
And I said, "He works"
And we will get it right
Gonna get it right, y'all
Kick it

[Post-Chorus: Michael Tait, TobyMac & Bobby Byrd]
Woo, woo
Man, that's how…
The Lord is in my life
Woo, woo
Man, that's how…

[Bridge: Choir, Michael Tait & TobyMac]
God is always workin'
Makin' changes
I got a new life, gotta go fast
Ayy-ayy-ayy, yeah
He works
God is always workin'
Let me break this thing down for ya, let ya know
Ya know what I'm sayin'?
Let in, here we go, uh
Always workin', always workin'

[Verse 3: TobyMac, TobyMac & Choir, TobyMac & Kevin Max]
Now ya know what I'm sayin' when I tell it like this
Some brothers might ill in the form of a dis (Ooh)
But I know one thing that is guaranteed
Through Christ, I can do anything
For Him to work in ya life, ya gotta be on track (Word)
Commit ya heart then live like that
I guess it does take two to make a thing go right
But the two that I'm talkin' of is you and Christ
