Transcript / Lyrics

chrous- stop complaining,just cause it`s raining
that dont mean god aint got your back
that dont mean he dont know where your at
you gotta claim it claim it claim it
you gotta claim it claim it claim it
verse- sometimes its hard for us to smile
cause in our lives thiers so many ups and downs
but i know inside ,my god is alive
and all i have to do is let go of my foolish pride
cause i can do all things through christ who strenghth me
according to his word,this ain`t something i just heard
chrous-chrous- stop complaining,just cause it`s raining
that dont mean god aint got your back
that dont mean he don`t know where your at
you gotta claim it claim it claim it
you gotta claim it claim it claim it
verse-so now that i finaly relize what god has for me
is just for me,now i see,that i dont ever have to worry
according to his word a mighty god we do serve
and i`m gonna be ok thats what he promised me
its written in his word,everything we need is written in his word
chrous-chrous- stop complaining,just cause it`s raining
that dont mean god aint got your back
that dont mean he dont know where your at
you gotta claim it claim it claim it
you gotta claim it claim it claim it
