Hardheaded

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

John 3:16

Lyrics

For God so loved the world

For God so loved the world 
And he wants you to know it
 Sent his own son just to show it 
God so loved the world.  
He gave his life for you 
For God so loved the world
He believes you can make it 
Gave you second chance man take it
It’s his free gift, that in love he sent.  
It’s the reason to repent.
For God so loved the world

It says in John 3:16
That God sent his son to world that was cruel and mean
God sent his son Jesus to his enemies
To those who rejected and disrespected him that’s  you and me
So here we are now and we’ve been blessed to be
Redeemed by his grace to reach our destiny
Except him or reject him is no longer a question for me
But if your wrestling with the deciding I suggest you get on your knees

For God so loved the world 
And he wants you to know it
 Sent his own son just to show it 
God so loved the world.  
He gave his life for you 
For God so loved the world
He believes you can make it 
Gave you second chance man take it
It’s his free gift, that in love he sent.  
It’s the reason to repent.
For God so loved the world

When it says he gave his Son, it means he gave his life
He sent his son to die for all of our sin and strife
See our sin left us in darkness apart from the light
An impassible wall of immeasurable height
A wall that can only be broken by a perfect sacrifice
One that was willing to offer himself  up without a fight
Someone fully human to meet sins price
But also divine  Who could that be – try Jesus Christ

For God so loved the world 
And he wants you to know it
 Sent his own son just to show it 
God so loved the world.  
He gave his life for you 
For God so loved the world
He believes you can make it 
Gave you second chance man take it
It’s his free gift, that in love he sent.  
It’s the reason to repent.
For God so loved the world

So what are you going to do now that you know it
I hope you take his gospel like seeds and just throw it
I hope they grow for the Lord and you help them to flourish
It will take a little faith and a lot of courage
Don’t drop the gospel , cuz your life you owe it
Don’t hid it under a bushel,and away don’t  stoe it
Instead do what ever you can the world to show it
As for me I’ll take the gospel and rap and flow it

For God so loved the world 
And he wants you to know it
 Sent his own son just to show it 
God so loved the world.  
He gave his life for you 
For God so loved the world
He believes you can make it 
Gave you second chance man take it
It’s his free gift, that in love he sent.  
It’s the reason to repent.
For God so loved the world

He left heaven 
He was born in a stable
He was suffered temptation
He danced at a wedding
He calmed the stormy seas
He said let the children come unto me
He healed the sick
He forgave our sins
He wept before the city
He died on the cross
He rose again
