I'm A Rapper (not a senior pastor)
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 just got a promotion and this song expresses my fears, my hopes, my weakness, and my strength
Lyrics
Houston, we have a problem
She's breaking up, She's breaking up
Joe Johnson a man barely alive……
They done did it this time you know that they done messed up Gave me a promotion told me Joe it’s time to step up Gave me the corner office on the first floor. Senior Pastor engraved on my the office door Made me the head honcho, The CPO But they would be shocked to find out what all I don’t know When first told I me I responded with laughter See I am a rapper I’m not a senior Pastor,
Go the hospital room -
talk to the bride and groom tell Jesus is coming soon Yo, I’m a rapper, I’m not a senior Pastor
Lord I’m broken they need someone I aint And Lord get me out of this they’re expecting me to do things I can’t Then I hear God saying that this aint a mis-take You got to trust that I’m with you every step that you make See I’m the one that gives promotion , I’m the one who opens doors You were responsible with little you can be trusted with more Don’t say what you can’t do, It’s what I can do that matter I made you a rapper, I’ll make you a senior pastor
I’ll give you the words to speak , Your my rapper
I over come the strong with the weak, Your my rapper
reach the ones I seek, your my rapper
I made you a rapper, I’ll make you a senior pastor
God’s transforming me like they did Steve Austin
But more than 6 million, his son’s precious blood is what it cost him.
With God working with me I’m feeling bionic
Lead this church for His Glory, I’m telling you, I’m on it
Now true that, I’ll make mistakes in this life I live
But I promise never to forget whom I is
My old image of my self has just been shatter
Cuz I’m not just a rapper… I’m a senior pastor
I can do all things through Christ, I’m his rapper
His blood has paid the price, I’m his rapper
I will give him my life, I’m rapper
God made me a rapper, He’ll make me a senior pastor
Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first rapping senior pastor. Joe Johnson will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster.
I can do all things through Christ, I’m his rapper
His blood has paid the price, I’m his rapper
I will give him my life, I’m rapper
God made me a rapper, He’ll make me a senior pastor
