Ha

I like how this feels, you feel me

Look, we're all on a journey

But we gotta keep going

We came too far to quit

Just cause you fall down, don't mean That you stay down

Get up

Get to them higher levels

Let's go

From the pit to the palace

Ay, Ray

Yeah

2011, when I first gripped that microphone, I can't lie, I was nervous, but I felt this was home, the stage was my place, where I knew that I belonged

I knew in my soul that I had to sing these songs

Ay, I couldn't hardly keep a beat, but I kept pressin', learned many lessons

Caught many blessings

Just look at my feet

Not the Chucks that I wear, but the Places that I've been, I'd never traveled

This much, until I answered a call that I heard within

Yeah, I knew that I was different, stood Out my whole life, I just never knew back then

That I would be used as a Light

To guide many

Tell me, who am I

Smoke, I drink, I've been low and I've Been high

Suicide was on my brain when I lost My Bride, but I finally said

Lord, have your way, okay

And I'm not sayin' this is your fault, no way

I owned up to my mistakes, I caused Her pain, but I'm forgiven, so God

Renew me, cleanse my name

Just take away these chains

Take me to a higher level

Cause I've been down too long

Take me to a higher level

Lord, create in me a new song

Take me in, take me in, take me in, Take me in

To the holy of holies

Take me in, take me in, take me in, Take me in

Lord, shape me and mold me

I feel like I've been that prisoner, locked inside that cell with no visitors

Always on alert, paranoid, on my Brain, just stamp a number on my shirt

But I know I'm more than a number, So I have to put in work

God, you remind us of your word

You said where many have failed, you prevail

So you trump our feelings, despite the Numbers on the polls

It's not about the count of wrongs, but It's all about these hearts and souls

So, Lord, you remind us that you're Still in control

Cause honestly, with all the negativity Surrounding us

It's like some of us are losing hope

But you're still The I am, despite the World that we're living in

Free will is a choice, and consequences Stem from our decisions

But you hold the key to these prisons

You said come to you, all who are Weary and burdened

And you will give us rest

So despite any situation that we're Facing, I still say we're blessed

Take me to a higher level, cause I've Been down too long

Take me to a higher level, Lord, create In me a new song

Take me in, take me in, take me in, Take me in, to the Holy of Holies

Take me in, take me in, take me in, Take me in, Lord, shape me and mold Me

Take me to a higher level, cause I've Been down too long

Take me to a higher level, Lord, create In me a new song

Take me in, take me in, take me in, Take me in, to the Holy of Holies

Take me in, take me in, take me in, Take me in, Lord, shape me and mold Me

Humble yourselves, therefore under The mighty hand of God

So that at the proper time, He may Exalt you

Casting all your cares and anxieties on Him, because He cares for you
