"A God (There Is)" lyrics - COMMON & PETE ROCK

[Chorus: Jennifer Hudson]
There is a God (God), true living God (Oh Lord)
There is a God in the spirit of you (Ooh, ooh)

[Verse 1: Common]
Landed from the heavens on the 7
My presence is a gift, I was destined like a reverend
No weapon formed against my sixth sense is a blessing
Congregation get a fifth and make us your confessors
The devil is a lie, angels made investments
There is a God, you seen a Black woman's essence
I've been on a quest even when the world question
My testimony came from all the testin' one-two (One-two)
I dream in words that come true
For the have nots, it's things to undo
Windows of opportunity let the sun through
I'm a prodigy and prodigal son, too
I returned home with things that I learned
What's known is hard to earn, scars and burns
I guess hard times requires hard minds
I watch like a Roley and stay on God's time

[Chorus: Jennifer Hudson]
There is a God (God), true living God (Oh Lord)
There is a God in the spirit of you
There is a God (God), true living God (Oh Lord)
There is a God in the spirit of you (Ooh, ooh)

[Verse 2: Common]
Intensity of divinity assemble me
The energy of the Trinity, remember me
Hope the gates of Heaven ain't too finicky
May I enter thee, smellin' like Hennessy
The imagery from which I made is unafraid
My people, we gettin' over, we underpaid
Was the Alabama brawl the scream of former slaves
Or freedom's ring from which we was born and raised?
It's shorter days, wars and rumors
The makers, the owners is now more consumers
Turn to channel live, hope the Lord come through us
It's about the unseen, not really how they view us
In lieu of less colors and use of
True love that came through blood, new minds and new love
In pursuit of happiness, they ask if there's a Most High
Seek and you'll find Him close by

[Chorus: Jennifer Hudson]
There is a God (Does anybody know? Yeah), true living God (Oh Lord)
There is a God in the spirit of you (There is a God, oh, oh, oh)
There is a God (There), true living God (Oh Lord)
There is a God in the spirit of you (Ooh, ooh)

[Bridge: Jennifer Hudson]
Everybody sing (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
'Cause there is a God (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
There is a God (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
There is a God (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
There is a God

[Outro: Jennifer Hudson]
Put a calling on my life (Yes, He does)
And He blessed me every time (Yes, He does)
And He casts my fears aside (Yes, He does)
And He kept me through the night (Yes, He does)
Put a calling on my life (Yes, He does)
And He blessed me every time (Yes, He does)
And He casts my fears aside (Yes, He does)
And He kept me through the night (Yes, He does)
Put a calling on my life (Yes, He does)
And He blessed me every time (Yes, He does)
And He casts my fears aside (Yes, He does)
And He kept me through the night (Yes, He does)
Put a calling on my life (Yes, He does)
And He blessed me every time (Yes, He does)
And He casts my fears aside (Yes, He does)
And He kept me through the night (Yes, He does)
It's the genius of God we have near not forgot
We have an obligation to re-up the block
