Converstions with the Rock

Now I was walkin down the road one day
These burdens heavy on my back they weighed.
So to God I started to pray
And in my Spirit I could hear Him say....

"You know son I inhabit your Praise!"
"You Know Son I inhabit your Praise!"
So for Peace throughout the rest of your days...
Just relax and give your God some Praise!"

He spoke it to me in the gentlest of ways...
And His voice he never raised...
But stupid me still stuck in my ways...
I refused to give my God some praise.

(imagine that)

Now I was dragging down the road that day...
But now my burdens started bringing me down
And just before I hit the ground...
I heard the strangest humming sound

(it sounded like)

Duh-duh, duh-duh, duh-duh Duhhh --- Duhh
Duh-duh, duh-duh, duh-duh Duhhh --- Duhh

Duh-duh, duh-duh, duh-duh Duhhh --- Duhh
Duh-duh, duh-duh, duh-duh Duhhh --- Duhh

(I was trippin)

I must have bumped my head on the ground
Because my brain was beginning to pound
And all the while I kept looking around
To find the source of this strange sound.
Now I looked up and I looked down
But there was nobody there to be found.

(I heard it again)

Duh-duh, duh-duh, duh-duh Duhhh --- Duhh
Duh-duh, duh-duh, duh-duh Duhhh --- Duhh

Duh-duh, duh-duh, duh-duh Duhhh --- Duhh
Duh-duh, duh-duh, duh-duh Duhhh --- Duhh

(am I losing it?)

So now I'm layin here on the ground
Still puzzled by this strange sound
I must be havin one of those breakdowns

So one more time I looked around
And something very unusual I found
A shiny Rock on a dirt mound
It started to shake and move around!

Duh-duh, duh-duh, duh-duh Duhhh --- Duhh
Duh-duh, duh-duh, duh-duh Duhhh --- Duhh

Duh-duh, duh-duh, duh-duh Duhhh --- Duhh
Duh-duh, duh-duh, duh-duh Duhhh --- Duhh

I crawled over to investigate
I couldn't walk because my knees would shake
It's kind of hard for me to relate
Because this Rock, well um...it spake
Or rather He spoke ----- no joke!

(he said)

Now if I had some hands I'd raise um!
And if I had a mouth I'd Praise Him

If I was given half a chance...
I'd even do a little praise dance!

(I said WHAT!)

&

(he said)

YOU HEARD ME! THE SUN AINT FRIED
WHAT LITTLE BIT OF BRAIN MATTER YOU
HAVE LEFT BOY! I SAID!!

(he SAID!)

Now if I had some hands I'd raise um!
If I had a mouth I'd Praise Him...

If I was given half a chance...
I'd even do a little praise dance!

You see son ,

I don't think you understand it...
Or your praise you wouldn't take for granted
You see God Inhabits your praise!
I said God Inhabits your praise!
So for peace in all the rest of your days...
Just relax and give your God some Praise!

(So I just stood there looking kind of stupid
And puzzled..after all a rock was talking to me,
and the Rock said Don't make me Hit you
over your head with myself you big dummy!)

(He kind of sounded like Fred Sandford right then)

He said, Don't you get it?
God...Inhabits...Praise!
Dude! He Inhabits...That means...

He packs up and moves in
He bounces and grooves in
Corrects & reproves then
Supernaturally moves when

"You give God the Praise!

He rewards & He blesses in
Removes all your stresses then
Eliminates the guesses then
Cleans up your messes when

"You give Him the Praise!"

So Son,

Since you got some hands then raise em!
Since you got a mouth then Praise Him!
And every time you get a chance
You can even do a little Dance!

And that's when it hits me!
Gods been good to me
Why not praise Him
He deserves it!
Beside what do I have to lose
And I was tired of laying there on the ground!

So I took my hands
And raised em!
Opened Up my mouth
And Praised Him!
I decided to take this chance
and broke out in Praise Dance!

( This was all kind of funny looking since I was still laying in the middle of the road! But I didn't care!)

So my friends that was the day
That I learned to give God the Praise!
Trials and troubles still come to test me
I just refuse to let it press or stress me!
And for peace in all of my days
I just relax and give my God the Praise!

Because My GOD INHABITS MY PRAISE!

Because OUR GOD INHABITS OUR PRAISE!

So if you want peace for all of your days....
Just relax and give our God some Praise!

(Go ahead...you know you wanna)

Now...if you got some hands...
Then raise them!
Now...open up your mouth and
Praise Him!

Now everytime you get the chance
You can even do a little Dance!
And for Peace all the rest of your days......
Just relax and give my God some Praise!
