Gotta Right... Karen Clark Sheard

I gotta right to praise Him...

Every now and then, I take a retrospective look within
And from that, I find all the words from within a friend...
Because through the years, You caught my tears;
Everything I saw as far, You brought it near
So I promise I will love, praise, and keep You in my life...

Every time I think about You, (Every time I think about...)
I gotta right to praise You, Lord... (Got a right to praise You, Lord...)
You soothe my doubts, and calm my fears; (Soothe my doubts, and calm my fears...)
I can't explain the way I feel... (Can't explain the way I feel, oh, yeah...)

Every time I think about You
I gotta right to thank You, Lord... (I got a right...)
You blew away the rain, took away the pain, (Blew away the rain, took away the pain...)
That's why I exercise my right...

How can I ignore the one that loved me when I could care less? (Ah-ow, oh, no...)
I wasn't fit to live and yet not ready to die, just a mess... Whee...
You looked beyond my faults and saw my loss;
Now portraying joy and zeal is my greatest skill...
Now I promise I will love, praise, and keep You in my life...

Every time I think about You, (Every time I think about...)
I gotta right to praise You, Lord... (Your goodness to me...)
You soothe my doubts, and calm my fears; (All you've done for me...)
I can't explain the way I feel... (I can't explain...)
