Lord, I'm just sitting here looking over my life, Lord

Let me take inventory.

Can I take it?

Can I take it?

Cause I know you, I know you, I know you've been good

to be loved.

I come from a poor family.

We didn't have much.

But the love been good to me.

Come from a whole family.

We didn't have much, but the Lord been good to me.

Come from a poor family We didn't have

But the love in good today.

Let me tell you something.

I didn't have no money.

How many of y'all would like that?

A lot of my friends thought that was funny But I'm so glad today

That I can stand right here and say that the Lord been good to me.

Let me tell you one more thing.

We were raised in a shack, y'all.

Sometime cold within.

that we put on our back.

Listen here, mama and daddy,

They done the best they could.

They always told me

sun always be good but out of all the things

I know that the Lord has been good to me.

Oh, it's been good.

It's been good.

Ain't nothing good.

It's been good.

How many of you know tonight that God's been good?

Let me ask you something.

Did it rain?

Did it rain?

Did it rain?

I'm not a lone lion.

Oh, a lone lion.

I've been sick.

Anybody been sick?

Did God bring you?

Let me tell you what he did for me.

He blessed me He blessed me He blessed me

Yes, it did.

That big time in my life.

Oh, help me, Lord.

It seems like every time that I got a new gun, I had to spend the dime.

But let me ask y'all something.

How many know God got power?

How many know he got power?

Let me tell you what he done for me.

Let me tell you what he done for me.

He healed my body.

walk out here when i was a little boy i had polio

Loading gun Loading gun Loading gun

Ain't no good tonight Ain't no good tonight

Ain't gonna do nothing now.

Ain't gonna do nothing now.

Let me ask you something tonight.

Ain't nobody going back to rock.

I don't mean to be nosy.

I don't mean to be nosy.

Has it been good to you?

Have they been good to you?

If you know you've been good Let me hear you say yeah Let me hear you say yeah I got one more question I got one more question I got one more question Can I ask you one question?

I don't mean to be nosy I don't mean to be nosy Anybody got the Holy Ghost?

And I'm gonna dance.

that I've done in life I know that the Lord has been good to me

Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you, Jesus.

Ain't it been good?

Ain't it been good?

I tell you, you know what I tell him sometimes.

I may not have a Mercedes Benz, but I sure thank you for the little car you gave me.

I may not have a condominium,

But I thank you for my little house that you blessed me with.

Thank you Jesus.

Fight to kill!

Fight to kill!

Yes, sir!

I come from a Pope family.

How many of y'all come from a Pope family?

Get up on your feet.

If you can't remember, put them in.

Salute!

Salute!

Yeah!

I can't tell y'all that.

You can't have a poop if they don't feel good for you.
