[interlude: spoken]
yeah
so
when i was really young, say about four years old
my family was hurting financially, right?
like really hurting
so much so to the point
that we were about to lose our house
like it was only a, a few weeks, months maybe away
before we would’ve been homeless
but like the old p-ssage say, i had a praying mother
word
my mother would wake up every morning without fail
and she would wake up and hit her knees
and she would pray and call out to god
to rescue us from that situation
and she would sing songs, sing songs
at five, six o’clock in the morning that everybody heard while we were sleeping
even at four i remember it
she would sing songs to god about him delivering us
about god’s provision
about god’s providence
about god’s miracle-working power
and my mom was so smart
that she would actually have us singing these same songs as we drove down the road in our car
as we walked down the street to the park
she would sing stuff like…

[bridge]
greens and beans and corns and things
we gon’ have some crop
we gon’ have some crop
we gon’ have some crop
greens and beans and corns and things
we gon’ have some crop
we gon’ have some crop and praise the lord
she would say
greens and beans and corns and things
we gon’ have some crop
we gon’ have some crop
we gon’ have some crop
greens and beans and corns and things
we gon’ have some crop
we gon’ have some crop and praise the lord

[interlude: spoken]
in other words, my mom had a song to sing in the middle of a trial
my mother had a song to sing in the middle of our circ-mstances
and i can tell you that the lord did it?
can i tell you that god is faithful to deliver
when we sing these songs?
anybody have a song to sing in the room tonight?
let’s do it like this…

[verse 3]
and i-i
i’ve got the song
of the lord, i’ve gotta sing (i’ve got to sing)
we-we-we-i’ve gotta sing, yeah (i’ve got to sing)
whoa, and i-i-i-i-i
i’ve got the song
i got the song of the lord in my heart, and i gotta sing it yeah yeah yeah (i’ve got to sing)
well, i gotta sing it (i’ve got to sing)

[chorus]
it’s so good (ooh)
it’s so good
(what about it?) i won’t let it go
yeah-eah-eah-eah
and it’s so good
it’s so good
i won’t let it go

[outro]
i won’t let it go (i won’t let it go)
i won’t let it go (won’t let it go)
i’ve got the joy of the lord down in my soul (i won’t let it go)
i’ve got the joy of the lord and it’s making me stronger, yeah (i won’t let it go)
i’ve got the joy of the lord and it’s my strength (i won’t let it go)
i’ve got the joy of the lord and it’s my so-o-ong (i won’t let it go)
this joy i have, the world didn’t give it to me (i won’t let it go)
and this joy i have, the world can’t take it away (i won’t let it go)
i got it, i got it, i got it, i got it, i got it, i got it (i won’t let it go)
i got it, i got it, i got it, i got it, i got it, i got it (i won’t let it go)
whoa-oa-oa (i won’t let it go)
[?] (i won’t let it go)
give me jesus (i won’t let it go)
give me jesus (i won’t let it go)
you can have this world (i won’t let it go)
give me jesus, yeah (i won’t let it go)
yea-ea-ea-eah (i won’t let it go)
i can’t let it go, i can’t let it go (i won’t let it go)
i can’t let it go, i can’t let it go (i won’t let it go)
i can’t let it go-o-o-o-o (i won’t let it go)
yea-ea-ea-eah
