Respect – new song by KatieSwank

respect

is not earned

respect

is a term

that comes from the word

so respect

is your burden

your move

your obedience

to the lord

and then his reward

will be satisfied

cause you respected

instead of denied

respect

will be

what you get

from me

this test will pass

cause i surrendered this

to the lord

this is his

it’s not mine

and now

i am fine

respect

will be

what you get from me

cause i read the bible

and that’s what timothy

says

in chapter 6

virse 3

yea friend,

don’t break

or bend.

god’s got this

till the end.

friend,

i am under

the yoke

of slavery

but not to you

it is to thee

so if he

tells me

to respect

where i be

then you better believe

that that is what you will see

you’ll get nothing but respect

from me

cause remember

i am me to she

respect

will be

what you get

from me

this test will pass

cause i surrendered this

to the lord

this is his

it’s not mine

and now

i am fine

respect

will be

what you get from me

me to she

figure this out

you don’t have to shout

you don’t have to bend

i will watch you amend

cause you’re not alone

nor fully grown

but you are known

and i am praying for you

my friend

respect

will be

what you get

from me

this test will pass

cause i surrendered this

to the lord

this is his

it’s not mine

and now

i am fine

respect

will be

what you get from me

me to she
