"Don't Let Go"

This is a fun song reminding us to hold on to what we believe. "Don't Let Go" by Je'Kob.

The only link to this song I could find is on Youtube and is a bunch of random people dancing and no lyrics to read while listening. My suggestion, click here to listen, but with another tab, return to this blog to read the lyrics while you do so.

"Don't Let Go" by Je'Kob

I'm not gonna cry tonight, uh, I'm gonna be all right, all right
Even if I die tonight, it's gonna be all right, all right
'Cause I know where I'm going when I leave this crazy place
And I go with a smile upon my face, smile upon my face, yeah

'Cause we all right and we okay, and we gonna make it through another day
Just hold on to what you believe
Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go
Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go
Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go

Even on a rainy day, uh, I'm gonna be all right, all right
When the sun has gone away, it's gonna be all right, all right
'Cause I know where I'm going when I leave this crazy place
And I go with a smile upon my face, smile upon my face, yeah

'Cause we all right and we okay, and we gonna make it through another day
Just hold on to what you believe
Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go
Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go
Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go

Hold on tight to that rope, girl, you should never let go
God is standing there with you, baby
Don't ever let go
Let me hear you say you like that the world that won't let go
Hold on tight to that rope, whatever you do...
Don't let go

'Cause we all right and we okay, and we gonna make it through another day
Just hold on to what you believe
Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go
Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go
Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go

"Beautiful"

I like the message of this song, which is gratitude for the skin we're in and loving ourselves for who we are. What a great message! "Beautiful" by Group 1 Crew

"Beautiful"


La, la, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ay, yo, B, yeah
Let these people know what beautiful really means

I've been thinking 'bout the way I see myself and I
Just can't understand why I say
All those hurtful things about myself, my insecurities
They don't seem to just go away

And it's hard for me to understand you loving me
Through every mistake that I make
I'm so glad that you will never leave, keep reminding me
How you see me every day that I wake

I'm so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, uh, oh, uh, oh
I'm so beautiful, so natural, not typical
I'm so beautiful, there's nobody else made like me
I'm so B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L, that's me

Yes, you are, yes, you are, yes, you are
Yes, you are, yes, you are, yes, you are

I love the way you made my smile 'cause it fits my face
It's so wonderful, unbelievable
And every color in my eye is just the perfect shade
It's so incredible, indescribable

Now you may think I'm not a perfect size or overweight
But I'm huggable, oh, so, lovable
Let's put away our silly thoughts and fall in love with life
'Cause there's so many reasons for you to smile

I'm so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, uh, oh, uh, oh
I'm so beautiful, so natural, not typical
I'm so beautiful, there's nobody else made like me
I'm so B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L, that's me
I'm so B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L, that's me

That's me, I like a girl who got some confidence
Uncommon but with common sense
Quick to help her mama with the groceries and condiments
Doesn't live fast and loves life and gives compliments
Someone who I can ask about life and knows what time it is

Never late to meet me even though I am
Give her some sorry excuse but she always understands
She can take me in some sports, basketball was her thang
But at night she throws some heels on and her love is still the same

Don't need a cover girl or Maybelline or maybe I lean
A 'lil closer to the side of viewing her as a queen
And overthrows my life with the sense of humor she brings
I'd give my life away to hear her sing, to hear her sing

I'm so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, uh, oh, uh, oh
(I'm so beautiful)
I'm so beautiful, so natural, not typical
I'm so beautiful, there's nobody else made like me
I'm so B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L, that's me
I'm so B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L, that's me

(Beautiful)
I'm so beautiful
(Beautiful)
You're so beautiful
(Beautiful)
Woah, woah, ooh
(Beautiful)

This goes out to all my ladies out there
You're beautiful
So don't be afraid to be you
Let your hair down, put your smile on

You're beautiful, you're beautiful
Yeah, hmm

"In Wonder"

In light of Thanksgiving around the corner, I'm choosing to post this song again because it reminds me of all that I have to be grateful for. "In Wonder" by Newsboys.

"In Wonder" by Newsboys


So much wonder
Carved in your coral seas
So much wonder
Shaded by ancient trees
I consider all that Your hands have made
Every newborn's eyes, every new sunrise
No power can tame your presence
No light can match your radiance

[Chorus]
Let all creation sing in wonder
Every sea, every creature, every star
You opened up my eyes to wonder
What a vision, what a wonder You are

Such a wonder
Ordering time and tide
Such a wonder
Bridging the great divide
I consider all that you had, all you gave
All that you endured
From this rebel world

What a wondrous cross you chose to bear
What a wonder You would even care

[Repeat Chorus]

Let every rock cry out
Let every knee bow down
You opened up my heart to wonder
What a love, what a wonder you are

No power can tame your presence
No light can match your radiance

Such a wonder...
Such a wonder...

[Repeat Chorus]

Let every rock cry out
Let every knee bow down
You opened up my heart to wonder
What a love, what a wonder you are

"Not Alone"

I love this mellow and pretty song. A reminder that we are never alone, even and especially when life is tough. "Not Alone" by Benjah feat. Rachael Lampa. Some of the lyrics, in italics, were difficult for me to understand, so I typed in my best guess. If you know what they are, PLEASE let me know. Thanks.

"Not Alone"

Does anybody see, does anybody care
Or am I standin' here alone
Happens every day, tears and pain
So much sufferin'
I see it in your eyes now, yeah
Sometimes I want to take their place
I can't save them all, no
I can show the way to your savin' grace

[Chorus]
I feel it in my soul, I feel it and I know
That we are not alone, no we are not alone
Destruction all around, the world is crumbling down
And we are not alone, no we are not alone

I know it's getting hard but we gotta hold on
Even when we don't feel very strong
We can not lose heart though we're wastin' away
Cause the way we're feeling
Counting all our joy now, yeah
When we face our trials
Broken bones feel stronger
When we plant and depend on the living water

Chorus

Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh oh

[Bridge]
We're supposed to say we're doin' good
Even when our life's a mess
We're scared to care and really love
Cause we feel our heart's been broken
I gotta tell it like it is, and sometimes my life's a mess
Can't be scared to really love
Cause I know You're greater

Chorus

Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
