Stop

Lyrics and Music by Michael James King

Verse

Oh the Devil’s got you on every side
And your troubles seem a mile wide
You can’t see any which way you turn
And you’re sure your going to crash and burn

And it is so dark
And you are so afraid
And there is no way out
Well I’ll tell you what you’ve got to do

Chorus

You’ve got to stop and lift your hands to Him
Stop and praise His name and then
Stop and give Him thanks and then
Go and do it all again

You’ve got to stop and lift your hands to Him
Stop and praise His name and then
Stop just remember when He said
I’ll never leave you or forsake you

Verse

Oh Jonah sat in the belly of a whale
And as prophet he had washed up and failed
He found out when you go against God’s will
The journey you take is all down hill

And it was so dark
And he was so afraid
And there was no way out
Well like Jonah this what you’ve got to do

Chorus

You’ve got to stop and lift your hands to Him
Stop and praise His name and then
Stop and give Him thanks and then
Go and do it all again

You’ve got to stop and lift your hands to Him
Stop and praise His name and then
Stop just remember when He said
I’ll never leave you or forsake you

Verse

Oh Daniel woke in the lions den
And when he’d slept better he didn’t know when
With all those cats just lyin around
Daniel lay there safe and sound

And it was so dark
But he was not afraid
Cause he had a way out
And like Daniel this is what you’ve got do

Chorus

You’ve got to stop and lift your hands to Him
Stop and praise His name and then
Stop and give Him thanks and then
Go and do it all again

You’ve got to stop and lift your hands to Him
Stop and praise His name and then
Stop just remember when He said
I’ll never leave you or forsake you

Repeat
