Turn My Life Up - Sho Baraka

Remember setting apart in my heart to walk that line

Had the nerve to tell GOD to have some things in line

When I graduate from college has some jobs in line

Convert about five or six friends of mine

I wanna grow old, no dangers of any kind

Throw in a couple kids and a wife that’s fine

Handed Him the contract like «Can you sign that line?»

He ripped it up and said «That's your plans not mine»

So now everyday I gotta renew my mind

To prove the perfect will of God with faith that’s blind

Cuz even after days of placing faith in Christ

I came mighty close to almost wasting my life

Understanding eternal life is knowing that man

And now my boys trip cause I’m in love with a man

They trip even more when I tell em that I’m a bride

They know I’m sincere cause I say it with pride

And I…

Turn My Life Up, the abundant life (yeah)

Turn My Life Up, the abundant life (yeah)

Turn My Life Up, the abundant life (yeah)

Turn My Life Up, the abundant life (yeah)

No more low living, (no)

No more low living, (no)

No more low living, (no) (Live at a 10, live at a 10)

No more low living, (no) (Live at a 10, live at a 10)

I used to pray just to change God not to change me

I realized the more I prayed He changed me

Even if I only prayed during storms, He changed me

And now I write of marvellous works like Stan Lee

I gladly play Indian and He: chief

I’ll be that sitting bull when He speaks

I try to speak more with my feet less with my teeth

I try to be more of the Spirit less of me

I try to be more of a man less of a G

How many Saints wasting their life proving they street

This young cat said he would come to Christ

But he don’t really think that its fun in Christ

Well I didn’t come to prove that its fun in Christ

I came here to preach the abundant life

And I didn’t even come to get crunk tonight

But while we’re lets have fun tonight

(Hook)

Turn My Life Up, the abundant life (yeah)

Turn My Life Up, the abundant life (yeah)

Turn My Life Up, the abundant life (yeah)

Turn My Life Up, the abundant life (yeah)

No more low living, (no)

No more low living, (no)

No more low living, (no) (Live at a 10, live at a 10)

No more low living, (no) (Live at a 10, live at a 10)

Will GOD provides my needs?

Probably not my wants

Be careful what you ask for He’ll give you what you want

Israel asked for a king, He gave them what they want

Had a couple righteous kings, but most of them were chumps

The disciples wanted Christ glory, he gave them his cup

You know, persecution and death, that kind of stuff

The world wants its sin so he’s given it up

But then He gives His son, He’s risen us up

I wanna live at a ten but I’ve been cool at a five

I exaggerate my victories, living a lie

Deny my shortcomings so many times

Just to prove to my homeboys I live at a nine

But at the root of the issue, I struggle with pride

I struggle to live when he calls me to die

So now I want my happiness in holiness and grace

Instead of seeking for a blessing I’m seeking his face

(Hook)

Turn My Life Up, the abundant life (yeah)

Turn My Life Up, the abundant life (yeah)

Turn My Life Up, the abundant life (yeah)

Turn My Life Up, the abundant life (yeah)

No more low living, (no)

No more low living, (no)

No more low living, (no) (Live at a 10, live at a 10)

No more low living, (no) (Live at a 10, live at a 10)

(Outro)

(Live at a 10, live at a 10)

I pray by the mercy and grace of God, man

That we would live in the fullness of His calling

The we would experience the abundant life on Earth

As it is in heaven

That we would find happiness and His holiness in love

And that we would turn our life up, and live at a 10, baby

C’mon, lets get it!
