Stronger

[Verse 1: Paapa]
Dear Jesus
I dunno how I missed the place where I misplaced the pace
Where I started walking slower and I fell behind Your grace
Maybe I laughed at Noah, cause I’m drowning in the flood
But I’m raising my hands, Lord I’m reaching up above
Cause my eyes are filled with tears but I will lift them up to You
Cause I can tell there’s something really big you want to do
With my sweat, and my tears, and my days and my years
But it would really help if You would whisper in my ear
Lord, please tell me your master plan
But you’re probably thinking that “Paapa’s too much of a man to understand”
And you’re too Supreme, your ways are not mine
So I see that my mind is a mine
So you’re drilling right through me, Lord you’re bringing out the gold
That silver, that diamond, whatever my life is hiding
And at the end of it all I know my life will be shining
So I gotta leave my idols behind like Simon

[Chorus: Debbie]
I cannot dare call my house strong
If it has not been through a storm
I cannot dare call my house strong
If it has not been through a storm
So I may be down, but not for much longer
Through it all you’re making me stronger
Yes you are, making me
Stronger (3x)

[Verse 2: Paapa]
Tetris clouds, above my head raining bricks
The devil made me want to jump off our relationship
But then I remembered that I’m supposed to smile
While knowing who you are and your divine profile
O wow, how could I forget, that you’ll never let
These tests get too much for me to bear
I’m facing Goliath but you’ve helped me kill a bear
So I can take him down if I stand foursquare
So yea, I know that with Your rain, you wash my soul
So I’m using these lines, to dry out my clothes
I’m BLACK, so nothing can bury my Boldness, so I will CALL you and say O
Yes, Lord let your rain pour
After all the tests, Lord I say gimme more
I need to get stronger, cause I am still growing
I haven’t reached the shore so I keep on rowing

[Chorus]
