Crosses

Crosses

Snippet

"As there is a curse wrapped up in the wicked man's mercies, so there is a blessing concealed in the righteousness man's crosses, losses and sorrows. The trials of the saint are a divine husbandry, by which he grows and brings forth abundant fruit.”  C.H. Spurgeon Treasury of David, Commentary for Psalm 1:

Scripture

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. 2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.[a] Because of the joy[b] awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne. 3 Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people;[c] then you won’t become weary and give up. 4 After all, you have not yet given your lives in your struggle against sin. Hebrews 12:1-4 Not

If I ever took a loss,
I learned a lesson
I won’t ever think,
I’m better than the next man
I’ve been down before the come up,
I ain’t stressin’
Baby I’m too busy,
Countin’ all these blessings
Yah, yah, yah
Count it up, count it up, count it up
Line ’em up, line ’em up, line ’em up
Swear the sun shinin’ on me in my huddle
No matter the trouble surroundin’ us
They don’t see that it’s a lot of us
Everybody move anonymous
Won’t take that credit,
I know where we get it
Them blessings be comin’ from god above
I was doin’ all kinda bad
Where the choir at? Tell ’em I need a verse
Hit the pew and tell god he’s first
Hit the studio to body a verse
I remember pushin’ mama’s little white hyundai,
With no gas money
I just bought a car, cash money
I ain’t even tryna brag on it
I just tell it how it really is
I ain’t trippin’, they ain’t feelin’ this
I ain’t sayin’ I deserve nothin’
I’m just tryna talk about the benefits
I’ve been punchin’ in the clock
Tryna keep the kitchen stocked
Man it’s a blessin’,
’cause we ain’t ever had a lot
But all we need is all we got
If I ever took a loss,
I learned a lesson
I won’t ever think,
I’m better than the next man
I’ve been down before the come up,
I ain’t stressin’
Baby I’m too busy,
Countin’ all these blessings, blessings
Count it up, count it up, count it up
Count it up, count it up, count it up
Count it up, count it up, count it up
Blessings
Count it up, count it up, count it up
Count it up, count it up, count it up
Count it up, count it up, count it up

I put my mama in the crib,
Said, “Stop stressin'”
I put my girl in a brand new diamond necklace
She said she need more of my love and affection
’cause lately I’ve been workin’ harder than ever
She said, “Baby, you a boss,
Baby, clear your schedule
Dolla you a boss,
Let’s do somethin’ special
Take me on a pj,
We should go to mexico
I’ve been down for you,
Boy since when the money was low”
Anything for my bae ’cause she a blessing
If you woke up this morning it’s a blessing
If I ever took a loss,
I learned a lesson
I won’t ever think,
I’m better than the next man
I’ve been down before the come up,
I ain’t stressin’
Baby I’m too busy,
Countin’ all these blessings, blessings
Count it up, count it up, count it up
Count it up, count it up, count it up
Count it up, count it up, count it up
Blessings
Count it up, count it up, count it up
Count it up, count it up, count it up
Count it up, count it up, count it up
Blessings
I took so many losses
Coulda lost it
Left ’em leakin’ like a faucet
Almost cost me
Everything that I got, all of my fam
Part of the plan
I was eatin’ fried bologna out of the pan
Y’all don’t understand
I was tryna get it
I’m in that studio tryna keep it pushin’
Patty pies, boy I kept ’em cookin’
All I needed was the mary mary
But the god in me was havin’ commentary, woo!
I got angels all around like anita baker
Blessings fallin’ in line,
Guess I need a taper
And every loss is a lesson
Tell my haters I confess
Treat ’em like the green bubbles on the iphone
I probably never read the message
If I ever took a loss,
I learned a lesson
I won’t ever think,
I’m better than the next man
I’ve been down before the come up,
I ain’t stressin’
Baby I’m too busy,
Countin’ all these blessings, blessings
Count it up, count it up, count it up
Count it up, count it up, count it up
Count it up, count it up, count it up
Blessings
Count it up, count it up, count it up
Count it up, count it up, count it up
Count it up, count it up, count it up
Blessings


Sentence Prayer

 Free us, God of mercy,
from all that keeps us from you;
relieve the misery of the anxious and the ashamed
and fill us with the hope of peace;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen
