Cody Young - selah. Lyrics

Yeah
When I wake up in the morning, I've been given a choice
Complain about the day, or I can choose to rejoice
With a sacrifice of praise, I choose to lift up my voice
And glorify His mighty name, I choose to live in His joy
That's so much better than just being annoyed
By every little thing that comes to try and steal and destroy
I wanna focus on you Lord 'cause you been blessing ya boy
The negativity is something that I try to avoid
So I employ
A new way of thinking, new way of seeing
New way of dreaming, new way of being
New way of living, cuz I've been born anew
Confident in my worth, there's nothing for me to prove
There's nothing for me to lose, and everything to gain
Nothing for me to choose, your name is over the fame
Nothing for me to do, but surrender to your love
And try to keep my mindset focused on the things above

So I'm thankful
I got everything I need
Jesus in me, I'm redeemed
I'm gonna be grateful
I'm just gonna be thankful
I'm just gonna be

Kingdom live inside of me
I got everything I need
I'm gonna be grateful
I'm just gonna be thankful
Yeah I'm gonna be

Yeah
My life is not my own
So now when I'm at home I've been putting down my phone
I just wanna be awake and make the most of every moment
'Cause I've noticed that they've had the tendency to catch me zoning
Life is precious
Now I'm getting with the message
I don't wanna find the worst in things, I wanna find the blessings
I just wanna be thankful 'cause it's been helping with my mindset
Scrolling through my phone and wondering where all the time went
Ugh, moment of silence
Rest is like violence
When you live in a culture that's glorifying the mileage
I've been taking my time, I'm slowing down, you see me smiling
There is only peace when I got Jesus as my pilot
I don't ever want the wheel back, Yahweh you can keep it
I remember I would feel bad, for saying no to people
When they ask me for a favor
When they tell me what to do
But now I caught the vision
Seeing from your point of view

So I'm thankful
I got everything I need
Jesus in me, I'm redeemed
I'm gonna be grateful
I'm just gonna be thankful
I'm just gonna be

Kingdom live inside of me
I got everything I need
I'm just gonna be grateful
I'm just gonna be thankful
Yeah I'm gonna be

No more hurry, no impatience, you catch me waiting
No more fear and no vexation, man I'm on vacation
No more worry, no more lies, no more intimidation
I don't care if you don't like me
There's no obligation
I was neglecting what's important for the grinding
Attention to distractions, opinions wasting my time and
I had to find something better than the latter I was climbing
'Cause The sand that had me sinking is the one I draw the line in

Selah...

Yeah
Are you working a 9-5?
Putting in overtime just to pay for the car you drive?
Or caving under the pressure that you're feeling to provide
For your family, 'cause lately you've been living on a dime?
But they tell you it's the culture you've been living on the grind
Hustle hard and keep it going, homie we ain't got the time
Get to working, get to moving, homie we just gotta climb
No more being irresponsible, it's time that you decide
Put away all your desires
I don't care if you feel tired
Get a job that makes some money
Then you work 'till you retire
That's exactly what they told me
But the devil is a liar
I ain't going through that trial, only listen to Messiah
Jesus told me there's a better way, and I ain't gotta bow
He redeemed me from the curse, and wiped the sweat off of my brow
Used to think it was on me to make the money to provide
But now I'm taking my time, being free from all the lies

Yeah
I ain't gotta stress
Let me get this off my chest
Know it's time for me to rest

I ain't worried bout the rest
Know that God will do the rest
Homie I'm just gonna rest

I was giving it my best
Gave until there's nothing left
But I know it's time to rest
Yeah, I know it's time to rest

Yeah, Ugh
He told me come and learn from me because my yoke is easy
You'll walk with me through the garden where all the work is breezy
And don't you worry, everything I have I give it freely
The only thing that I require is that you believe me
So I ain't worried 'bout providing 'cause my Father feed me
And I ain't worried 'bout the giants 'cause they can't defeat me
I'm protected from the fire 'cause I know He keep me
And I ain't worried 'bout the journey 'cause I know He lead me
Yeah
Right down the pathway of peace
Beside still waters I sleep
In grassy meadows of e-den
Where I'm feeling the breeze
And I've been walking with Jesus
He preparing a feast
I sit beside Him and eat
So even when my enemies surrounding me
I know that I'm protected, Jesus love is found in me
Leaving me secure so I ain't worrying or stressing
Honestly I'm way too busy counting all my blessings

I ain't gotta stress
Let me get this off my chest
Know it's time for me to rest

I ain't worried bout the rest
Know that God will do the rest
Homie I'm just gonna rest

I was giving it my best
Gave until there's nothing left
But I know it's time to rest
Yeah, I know it's time to rest

Come to me all who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest
Matthew 11:28
