That Good Thing lyrics
1. I Like It Like This
I should have seen it coming, from the moment I first walked in,
I had my eyes wide open, y’all, but it still hit me on the chin,
The powerful presence of the Holy Spirit like a big juicy angel kiss
Yes, yes, yes! I like it like this!
Was it the place, the preacher or the music
That made me feel this way?
Was it my destiny, was it a miracle? I really couldn’t say.
But you can see by my face I’m on fire with grace
Like a Texas tornado of bliss
Yes, yes, yes! I like it like this!
Now people see me living in ecstasy, they wanna ask me how
It aint no secret, you know that anyone call on Joy right now.
But do you really think you’re ready, better hold on steady,
It’s a hurricane of happiness.
Yes, yes, yes! I like it like this!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, you know I like it like this!
2. Leaving It In God’s Hands
More than I can see, more than I can know,
More than I could ever be, and I’m happy to say so
More than I can find, more than I can fix
More than I can mastermind, even with all my old tricks
Everything I am, everything I say,
Everything I have - it’s not a lot but anyway -
Everything I make, everything I touch,
Everything I give and take, and I can take so much.
Now I’m leaving it in God’s hands,
Yes, I’m leaving it in God’s hands,
And I think he understands.
So, I’m leaving it, yes, I’m leaving it, oh I’m leaving it –
3. That Good Thing
You got to be the light, if you want to see the light
You got to be the light, if you want to see the light
Because you reap what you sow, you meet what you know
And you see what you believe.
So give a little bit of that good thing, if you want to receive.
You got to be the love, if you want to see the love
You got to be the love, if you want to see the love
Because you reap what you sow, you meet what you know
And you see what you believe.
So give a little bit of that good thing, if you want to receive.
Don’t tell me that your life is a desert,
Somebody got to quench your thirst.
You can dance, you can pray for the water,
But you better get your head straight first.
You got to be the light, if you want to see the light
You got to be the light, if you want to see the light
Because you reap what you sow, you meet what you know
And you see what you believe.
So give a little bit of that good thing, if you want to receive.
Yeah, give a little bit of that good thing, if you want to receive.
4. You Are There
When the lush, green summer days put my senses in a haze
I turn around, and You’re there.
Or when I’m breathless at the sight of a crystal winter night
I turn around, and You’re there.
But, ooh, when my blues got me weeping
I find you keeping my heart company
And yet I forget all about you
I’m cool without you, what a fool I can be
What a fool I can be.
And when I’m old and tired and slow
And scared of dying still I know I’ll turn around and I’ll see
You are always there, always there in me.
5. Praise God (‘Til I Feel It Again)
Oh, wondrous Spirit, when I need You to guide me
I just speak Your name, and I feel Your love inside me.
So if I stumble, falter, break down crying like a child
I got to praise God, praise God, praise God, til I feel it again,
‘Til I feel Your love again.
And when I am weary to the bone,
Don’t know if I can make it through another day
Your shining Presence is never more than a breath away
So if I stumble, falter, break down crying like a child
I got to praise God, praise God, praise God, til I feel it again,
‘Til I feel Your love again.
Oh, do you feel it (Yes I feel it)
I got to praise God, praise God, praise God, come on praise God,
Praise God, Praise God til I feel it again!
6. Someplace to Go on Sunday
Sunday morning in my neighborhood, the ladies in their hats
On the chapel steps they’re looking good, they wave hello and that’s
The way they worship,
What they love and how they worship
You know they take some extra time
To be sure they’re looking fine cuz they got
Sunday afternoon the gentlemen are ready for the game
Now the ladies may look down on them but aint it all the same
It’s how they worship
What they love and how they worship
And if they want to have a ball
There aint nothing wrong at all, cuz they got
Everybody’s worshipping their own kind of God
In what they do and what they love and what they talk about
Everybody puts a little something in the hat
The wise man knows where it goes
Sunday night my upstairs neighbors with their crystals and their bells
And their meditation pillows and their semi-legal smells
But how they worship
What they love and how they worship
Now you don’t say that it’s a sin
To go traveling within cuz that’s just
Everybody’s got to have their own kind of Sunday
Maybe Tuesday, maybe Friday, maybe now
Everybody’s following in somebody’s footsteps
The wise men know you got to go someplace on Sunday
7. Someone is Praying for You
Are you alone, does it feel like the rain falling down?
Could you hold on if you knew that love was all around you?
Believe it or not, you’ve got friends
Someone is praying for you, someone is praying for you
Be comforted, be comforted.
Someone is praying for you,
Someone is knowing the truth for you
Be comforted in love.
Open your eyes, look around, it’s been here all along
Don’t be surprised when you find that love has made you stronger,
Now that you know there’s so much
Someone is praying for you, someone is praying for you
Be comforted, be comforted
Someone is praying for you,
Someone is knowing the truth for you
Be comforted in love.
8. I’m Ready
How many times have I prayed for an answer
When I didn’t know the question?
How many ways have I turned away from Your word?
How long have I been wading in the water,
And I didn’t even know I was wet?
How long have You been talking to me, and I never heard?
But now I’m ready to receive Your love,
I’m ready to receive Your love,
So let Your love rain down on me.
I’m ready to receive it, ready to believe it.
I’m ready to receive Your love,
I’m ready to receive Your love,
So let Your love rain down on me, I’m ready to receive.
Why did I try so hard to give You what You never said You needed?
What was I trying to prove to myself, or the world, or to You?
When was I planning on saying enough is enough
Is enough of my stuff?
How long have You been loving me, and I never knew?
Oh, when I think of all the times I shook my fist at the sky
It makes me want to laugh, but it makes me want to cry.
There had to be a reason, can’t someone tell me why –
No wait! I don’t need to know
9. Welcome to the Temple
Welcome to the temple, welcome to the sanctuary
You don’t have to worry, you just come on in.
Welcome to the Presence, welcome to the family, you know
You don’t have to hesitate, you just come in.
Come on in and sit down
I saw you peeking through the window
I bet you’re wondering just what’s going on
So quit your sneaking around, this is where you belong.
And open up the doors now!
Now did you notice all the love around you?
And did you hear all the voices raised in song?
I hope you catch yourself dancing and singing along,
So let your body move now!
10. God Called Me
I don’t like to make trouble, and I didn’t want to complain
But the beautiful, crystal clear waters of life
Looked like a thousand gallons pain
I didn’t want to call on God, cuz what would I say?
‘Thank you for the gift of this open heart
Now would you please just take it away?’ And then you know
I got myself a big fat promotion, got prosperity
And a beeper and a laptop, and three-hour meetings
Just as far as the eye can see.
I called up God, on the telephone, I said God, I know You’re there.
So pick up, because I need some answers
And I haven’t got a minute to spare, no, no, then you know
God called me and said (I am within you)
God called me and said (I am your source)
God called me and said (Be still and know me)
And I said So It Is.
God called me and said… and I said So It Is.

Rising High –
1 - I Am New Today
I am new today
I am new this moment
And I thank You, God
For everything behind me
I am new today
I am new today
I am new this moment
And I thank You, God
For everything before me
I am new today
I am new today
I am new this moment
And I thank You, God
For everything within me
I am new today
2- I See the Spirit.
I see the Spirit standing right in front of me (x2)
Praise God (x2)
I see the Spirit in You!
