Lady Harmony - I'm A Soldier

I'M A SOLDIER IN THE ARMY OF GOD
I HAVE A MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN AND I'M BRINGING IT
TO THOSE WHO WILL LISTEN
TAKE HEED TO THE WORD OF GOD
KEEP FIGHTING AND PRAYING TIL YOUR WORK IS DONE
PAUL SAID THERE IS A RACE TO RUN
YOU'VE GOT TO FINISH THIS RACE TIL THE RACE IS WON
THE RACE IS NOT GIVEN
NOT TO THE SWIFT OR TO THE STRONG
BUT TO THE ONE THAT ENDURES TIL THE END
IN THE MIDST OF YOUR TRIALS
GET YO PRAISE ON
IN THE MIDST OF YOUR STORMS
GET YO PRAISE ON
IN THE MIDST OF THOSE DARK NIGHTS
GET YO PRAISE ON
WHEN ALL OF YOUR HOPE IS GONE
GET YO PRAISE ON
IN YOUR SECRET CLOSET
GET YO PRAISE ON
WHEN EVERYBODY'S ALL AROUND
GET YO PRAISE ON
DON'T BE AFRAID
GET YO PRAISE ON
TO GET YOUR PRAISE ON

THE DEFINITION OF A SOLDIER
SOMEONE WHO SERVES IN AN ARMY
READY TO FIGHT
IT COULD BE A MAN OR A WOMAN
PREPARED FOR BATTLE CAUSE WAR HAS NO LIMITS
TAKING BACK WHAT THE DEVIL STOLE
SO MANY YEARS AGO
THE DEVIL'S ONLY HERE ON BORROWED TIME
IN OTHER WORDS IT'S GOT TO GO
MOUNT UP SOLDIER THERE'S A WAR GOING ON
IT COULD BE IN YOUR MIND
OR IT COULD BE IN YOUR HOME
I'M CALLING ON THE SOLDIERS

I'M A SOLDIER IN THE ARMY OF GOD
I HAVE A MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN AND I'M BRINGING IT
TO THOSE WHO WILL LISTEN
TAKE HEED TO THE WORD OF GOD
KEEP FIGHTING AND PRAYING TIL YOUR WORK IS DONE
PAUL SAID THERE IS A RACE TO RUN
YOU'VE GOT TO FINISH THIS RACE TIL THE RACE IS WON
THE RACE IS NOT GIVEN
NOT TO THE SWIFT OR TO THE STRONG
BUT TO THE ONE THAT ENDURES TIL THE END
IN THE MIDST OF YOUR TRIALS
GET YO PRAISE ON
IN THE MIDST OF YOUR STORMS
GET YO PRAISE ON
IN THE MIDST OF THOSE DARK NIGHTS
GET YO PRAISE ON
WHEN ALL OF YOUR HOPE IS GONE
GET YO PRAISE ON
IN YOUR SECRET CLOSET
GET YO PRAISE ON
WHEN EVERYBODY'S ALL AROUND
GET YO PRAISE ON
DONT BE AFRAID
GET YO PRAISE ON
TO GET YOUR PRAISE ON

THE EARTH HAS EVERYTHING YOU NEED
AND WHAT IT DON'T HAVE
MY GOD'S GOT IT
REST ASSURE HE'S GOT IT
MY GOD'S GOT IT
GOD WILL MAKE YOUR ENEMIES YOUR FOOTSTOOL
MY GOD'S GOT IT
HE'LL SEND HIS ANGELS AHEAD OF YOU
MY GOD'S GOT IT
JUST KEEP ON TRUSTING IN THE LORD
MY GOD'S GOT IT
VICTORY IS ALREADY SET IN YOUR HEART
IF YOU WANT IT YOU CAN GO AND GET IT
GOD SUPPLIED YOU WITH WHAT YOU NEED TO GET IT

I'M KNOWN TO FIGHT
I'M KNOWN TO SING
THEY CALL ME MEAN
I SAY
MAYBE IT'S A STRONG WOMAN THANG

4 PLUS DECADES
MANY CLOSED DOORS
BUT IMA GET EVERYTHING I CAME HERE FOR

I'M FROM A LONG LINE OF PRAYING GIRLS
KITTY, BOOSIE, MAY, MARIE AND IDA NELL
ON MY DADDY'S SIDE MY AUNTIES THAT PRAYED ARE
DORIS, VIVIAN, ADLENE, AND LULA MAE
I WAS A WILLIAM'S SPECIAL AT NEW LIGHT BAPTIST CHURCH
H.B. WILLIAM'S THAT'S WHERE I SANG FIRST
MY MAMA SANG IN THE CHOIR ALL MY LIFE
SUCH A GOOD EXAMPLE AND A PRAYING WIFE
I REMEMBER PRAYER MEETING ON EDWIN ST
AUNT MAE AND UNCLE TBIRDS HOUSE WE'D MEET
NETIE WOULD BE SINGING BOUT THE BATTLES OF JERICHO
AND LEROY WOULD BE SINGING BOUT THEM DRY BONES
I GET EMOTIONAL WHEN I THINK ABOUT MY GRANDMOTHER'S
I GET EMOTIONAL WHEN I THINK ABOUT MY GRANDMOTHER'S
IF THERE WAS EVER ANYTHING GOING ON
MY GRANDMOTHER'S KNEW JUST WHAT TO DO TO MAKE IT RIGHT AND KEEP THE FAMILY STRONG
SO MANY THINGS I CAN REMEMBER ABOUT THEM
MAMIE, MAMIE
LILLIAN GAUTIER SELLERS WOULD PUT HER FIST IN THE AIR AND SAY RIGHT ON RIGHT ON
LILLIAN GAUTIER SELLERS WOULD PUT HER FIST IN THE AIR AND SAY RIGHT ON RIGHT ON
I REMEMBER PRAYER MEETING EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT
MADEA, MADEA
ELSIE MULLENS WOULD BE MOVING HER BODY FROM SIDE TO SIDE
SWINGING HER HIPS TAKING DIPS IN STRIDE
MOVING HER BODY FROM SIDE TO SIDE
SWINGING HER HIPS TAKING DIPS IN STRIDE
I'M A SOLDIER
ANYBODY WANNA KNOW ABOUT ME
TELL EM I'M A SOLDIER
PRODUCT OF A SOLDIER"
