As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will not be afraid ‘cuz I’m eternally blessed.
I’ve been born again. I asked Jesus in my heart
And everyone could tell I got a brand new start.
And I will always serve Jesus ‘cuz He deserves it
To be treated like a King – to you this may be unheard of.
I’m watching how I’m talking and where I’m walking
In case you and your homies end up lying in chalk.
We will all take a trip -- this you gotta know --
Straight to hell or to heaven. Where you gonna go?
God’s the kind of G who loves the homies, you and me.
I’m on my knees in the night sayin’ prayers for your eternal life.
I’m layin’ down my life for the cause of my King Jesus Christ
We got a situation you’d best be facin’
No one ever got it right ‘cept the one who bore our stripes.
You don’t wanna go down with the big D.
Too much television watchin’s got the world deceived.
Are you an educated fool with sinnin’ on your mind?
Got a heart full of pain but keeping a dry eye?
Are you lowdown gangsta full of pride and anger?
God is seeing it all. Have you aroused His anger?
Death ain’t nothin’ but a heartbeat away.
When you stand before God, what will you say?
It’s Jesus, see. He’s the only open door to heaven.
He’s the One you gotta know.
If you want to be free, then bow your knee
To the One who died for you and me.
I’m layin’ down my life for the cause of my King Jesus Christ
The power and the money, you know it’s going sour
Minute after minute, hour after hour.
Won’t you quit your runnin’-- ‘cuz God is always lookin’?
What’s going on in your heart? Without Jesus, you’ll be cookin’.
You know you need to learn, and someone’s here to teach you.
No need to understand. Believe is all you gotta do.
God says you can. Some of you won’t. Some of you will.
That’s why I know I’m not wastin’ time, fool.
I’m layin’ down my life for the cause of my King Jesus Christ
If you want to be free, then bow your knee
To the One who died for you and me.
