[Hook] Wasnt a fancy car Wasnt a diamond ring Wasnt friends or lovers At the end of the day Cause this lifes 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] Im a witness So Im taking a stand Life and trouble go together like Bacon and pans Theres gon be some up and downs Like Im shaking your hand And everybody gets down Just like a snake in the sand But Gods 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 Im a product My survival is Not cause Im the fittest But my God is a Revivalist Thats just What He is Thats just What He does Recognize what it isnt Recognize what it was [Verse 2] Of course it was His favor How else you get that job? You aint have the paper Its favor That helped you get that ride With your credit? Forget it How else you get that crib? Single parent Apparently Jesus helped you with them kids Howd 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 thats royal Such an unlikely pick Im like Susan Boyle And theres 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 are on the outside We were lepers We were desperate Like all them housewives It supplies strength And it supplied need Its free Constantly flowing Like an I.V Enough for everybody Even in India Arie Up on the daily Daily Hes 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 Im back On top of the shelf [Outro] Now you prepared my table You did all the labor I dont even worry cause I know that You are able You even blessed my neighbor He didnt even have TV But now he has cable
