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.

Radio add to promote our church

Lyrics

5200 N Shadeland Ave Lawrence United Methodist Church 

The church the church the church is on fire.  We don’t need no water let the Holy Spirit burn.  

Probably don’t need to tell yall, but the church aint the halls and walls 
And I got a feeling it aint the building, but instead it’s the peoples 
Cancel the emergency call you made and the bucket brigade
Were on fire for the Lord and we gonna let this thing blaze
We got a gospel praise service at 11 a.m. for one hour
Hearts be thumping, sparks be jumping from the strength of God’s power
Come grab a seat and feel the heat, but your close might get seared
Come check us out, see what we bought. We have church up in here. 
Lawrence United Methodist Church on the North East Side
But we got a 4-alarm fire that can be seen county wide

The church the church the church is on fire.  We don’t need no water let the Holy Spirit burn.  Burn Holy Sprit Burn.

It started in the pulpit and ran to the pew
It all got loose when people spread the good news
The good news to your heart is like gas to a spark
Either way you go, you know we gonna light up the dark
The foundation shook with the force of the blast
Like the phoenix, the church we will rise reborn from the ash 
It won’t be contained, it cannot be tamed
And it will never go out cuz God is fanning the flames
 It’s the refiners fire, that Holy Ghost desire
We’re on fire for the Lord.  Help me sing it out choir
