If it's hot then give God the glory. If it's not then blame me
If it's hot then give God the glory. If it's not then blame Mitch.
I'm Joe Johnson a local United Methodist Pastor. Before I felt God calling me into the ministry I thought I was going to be a rap artist. For 8 years I did nothing with music until my wife introduced me to a group called "The Gospel Gansters" in 1998. It was an eye opening experience. I was amazed to see people using rap for the glory of God. That day I picked up paper and pen and I haven't put it down yet.
Story behind the song
I saw a girl with a tattoo of someone she no longer loved. I started thinking about if Jesus had a tattoo
Lyrics
There’s a girl at the store with a tattoo on her neck, It’s the name of some boy she now wants to forget But if Jesus had a tattoo for every name he died for. The ink on his arms would weigh him down to the floor. Weigh him down to the floor,
Weigh him down to the floor
Weigh him down to the floor
When I see someone with a tattoo. I’m like can I talk at you
Please tell me it aint true that you that co co that you paid someone to do that you
Yah you sportin it, but that thing is permanent
And sure you like it now, but man holy cow you’ll have to wear that as a great great grandparent
And when I see your ink, I don’t know what to think
I’m sure your mom is great but do you really need a picture of her drawn on you in hot pink.
And please don’t miss me, but aint nobody sticking me
With a needle this long unless their name ends with a MD
There’s a girl at the store with a tattoo on her neck, It’s the name of some boy she now wants to forget But if Jesus had a tattoo for every name he died for. The ink on his arms would weigh him down to the floor. Weigh him down to the floor,
Weigh him down to the floor
Weigh him down to the floor
But if Jesus did have a tattoo, I bet it would be of you.
And he would wear it proud and say it loud and he tell everyone that he loves you.
And it makes me ponder, would he wear it as a badge of honor
he saved you from the pit of sin and hell or else you’d be a goner.
And I know he’d never regret it, and I know that he’d never forget it
Even if you took the love he offered you and you stepped on it and reject it.
If Jesus had a tattoo, of everyone he gave new life too
It wouldn’t have been the nails that keep it him to the cross it’d be the weight of the love for you
There’s a girl at the store with a tattoo on her neck, It’s the name of some boy she now wants to forget But if Jesus had a tattoo for every name he died for. The ink on his arms would weigh him down to the floor. Weigh him down to the floor,
Weigh him down to the floor
Weigh him down to the floor
