You tried your way
It didn't work, no
You put Him second
And put you first
You trusted friends
Thought they had your back
And every time you turn around
It seems you're under attack
But turn to your neighbour and say
See the devil is a liar
No, I'm not gon' die
It's okay to cry
'Cause He's by your side
You gotta stop that hatin'
I know you don't wanna hear it
Gotta fast and pray and listen to the Spirit
(God's tryna tell me something)
He's speaking to your heart right now
(God's tryna tell me something)
Just listen to the Spirit, ohh
(God's tryna tell me something)
Hold up, shh
Listen
You lost your job
Your bills are due
And all the people you helped
Did not want to help you
I talked to my mother
(She said pray about it)
I talked to my pastor
(And he said pray about it)
But I was so blinded
I own my disaster
See the devil is a liar
No, you're not gon' die
It's okay to cry
'Cause He's by your side
You gotta stop that hatin'
I know you don't wanna hear it
Gotta fast and pray and listen to the Spirit
(God's tryna tell me something)
He's speaking to your heart right now
(God's tryna tell me something)
Just listen to the Spirit, ohh
(God's tryna tell me something)
Hold up, shh
Listen
I did everything I could to take away my trouble
And everything I tried did not stop my struggle
Just doing me everyday
Guess I was in my own way
But I'm here to tell you, without His grace I'm a major failure
So if you got problems
Know that you can't fix it
Just give it to Jesus, oh can I get a witness
And tell him say
That the devil is a liar
You gotta listen to the Spirit
Woahhhh
(God's tryna tell you something)
Shh, shh, shh
Yes He is, He's trying to get your attention right now
(God's tryna tell you something)
I know you got your own plan, but God's got a better one
(God's tryna tell you something)
Shh, listen
(God's tryna tell you something)
Tell me, can you hear it
(God's tryna tell you something)
Listen to the Spirit
(God's tryna tell you something)
Shh, listen
(God's tryna tell you something)
Tell me, can you hear it
(God's tryna tell you something)
Listen to the Spirit
(God's tryna tell you something)
Shh, listen
You tried your way
It didn't work, no
You put Him second
And put you first
