Declaration. This is it.

**update...if you are just now reading this...you will need to click onto this song "Declaration" on the music bar to hear it...It was a little much for background music on the newer posts!!**

Do you have a "song"?? You know "your song"? The song that speaks exactly of your present moments? And you just can't stop playing it?? Here's mine!

*Warning: if you are older than 50...ahem...Mom, Dad, Granny and Grandma...you might want to turn down your volume a tad. This might not be your "favorite" kind of music! *smiles*

For the rest of you...the kids and I are finding that this is 'way' fun to be silly and dance to, with pretend microphones of course! You gotta let loose and have some fun...maybe pull the curtains however!! I promise you'll feel better afterwards...and the kids will never want to stop!!

Declaration (this is it!) by Kirk Franklin:

Check it out, ya'll
(There've been times in my life)
I'm tired and I wanna give up
(I've been wondering why)
Why is the world gettin' so crazy?
(Still, somehow I believe)
I've come too far to die now
(I always survive)
If you're a survivor, get up!Let's get it!

Gonna cry now, go ahead and get it out of my system
I know I hurt now, but soon I gotta get back to livin'
Can't be here next year, givin' you these same tears
I hope you enjoyed it, 'cause it's the last time you will take a piece of me

I start right now, I don't know how I'm gonna get thru it
I know right now, I pray somehow 'cause I can't do it
I can't keep livin' like this, there's gotta be more than this
Jesus, I'm ready, I'm ready for what you have for me

Chorus
(Are you gonna wait for a sign?)
Are you ready for you're miracle
God's people it's time to'(stand up and fight)
Let's get it, let's get it'
This is it!!
You can't mess with my mind anymore'
This is it!
I'm smarter, see I've been here before'
This is it!
It's time today, I'm not afraid anymore'
This is it!
Yes, I believe, if you believe, help me say'
This is it!
I'm a child of the King baby, look at somebody and tell 'em'
This is it!

I look back now, I look at how you tried to break me
To take my life, my peace of mind and drive me crazy
My self esteem, my dreams, my destiny
So, God allowed it, because He knew He had big plans for me
(Hallelujah!)
It's your grace, I know today it's how I made it (Thank You, Jesus)
When I thought that it was over' (Lord, have mercy)

Chorus
Everybody that's been holdin' you down, look at 'em and tell 'em'
This is it!
I feel my help coming on right now, ya'all'
You think that maybe it's over'(You're life ain't over)
Not unless you want it to be(Are you gonna wait for a sign?)
you're miracle(stand up and fight)

Rap
This is it ya'll, this is it ya'all
You've been waitin' and debating , here it is, ya'll
All your stuff from your past, shake it off ya'll
Though they said you wouldn't last, but who is ya'll?
Want your dreams back?
Let's get it!
Your peace of mind back?
Let's get it!
Want your family back?
Let's get it!
Are you ready? Let's get it! (This is it!)
I speak against everything that comes to destroy the purpose in your life'
This is it!
Worrying about your finances, your future, when you can't even sleep at night'
This is it!
I speak against depression and fear, every attack from the enemy'
This is it!
This is your day, the Lord made it baby!
God has set you free!'
This is it!
You can't mess with my mind anymore'
This is it!
I'm smarter, see I've been here before'
This is it!
It's time today, I'm not afraid anymore'
This is it!
I wanna hear ya'll sing this with your boy!
Every body say' This is it!
You can't mess with my mind anymore'
This is it!
I'm smarter, see I've been here before'
This is it!
It's time today, I'm not afraid anymore'
This is it!
Yes, I believe, if you believe, help me say'
This is it!

Lately I've been blasting this song from my ipod while running! I just can't get enough of it! My next favorite song is the next one on the blog playlist...Jesus! I've listened to Kirk Franklin for many years...somehow his songs are so true for me and the energy of them are very uplifting!! And when I say I've been blasting them from my ipod, I mean over and over again...for 7 miles!!

So, I thought I would share them with you!

Let me see those pretend microphones...I know you got them too!!
