Gotta Right... lyrics - 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...)

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 the rain, took the pain...)
That's why I exercise my right...

I will bless the Lord at all times,
And His praise, I'll continually rewind and say them again...
Because through the years, You calmed my fears,
Now portraying joy and zeal is my greatest skill,
So I promise I will love, praise and keep You in my life!

I gotta right to praise Him...
I gotta right to thank Him...
(I got a right...) I gotta right to praise Him... (to give you some praise! Oh, yeah...)
I gotta right to praise Him, thank Him... (Oh, yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh...)

Every time I think about You,
I gotta right to praise You, Lord... (I'm gonna forever praise you! Oh, yes, I will!)
You soothe my doubts and clam my fears; (I will bless the Lord at all times,)
I can’t explain the way I feel... (And his praises shall continually be in my mouth...)

Every time I think about You, (Oh, yeah...)
I gotta right to thank You, Lord... (Oh, yeah... oh, yeah, yeah...)
You blew away the rain, took away the pain; (Oh, praise is my weapon;)
That's way I exercise my right... (I don't know about you, but I pull my weapon out...)

Every time I think about You, (Oh, yeah...)
I gotta right to praise You, Lord... (Oh, no weapon that's formed against me, it's not gonna prosper!)
You soothe my doubts and clam my fears; (Oh! Oh, praise can do a lot of things for me...)
I can't explain the way I feel... (Praise will protect me! Praise will...)

Every time I think about You, (Praise will shield me, praise will cover me...)
I gotta right to thank You, Lord...(Praise will - oh! It will help me out of my situations...)
