Chorus 1:
God blocked it. God blocked it! He wouldn't
let it be so. No. He wouldn't let it be so.
There were dangers a waiting me. Destruction was sure
to be, but thank God for angels that were shielding, and protecting,
and looking after me.
Bridge:
Thank You Lord. The devil had a plan to kill me
I know, but God intercepted his plan, and told the devil no.
Chorus 1:
God blocked it. God blocked it! He wouldn't
let it be so. No. He wouldn't let it be so.
Nakita's solo:
I haven't lived a perfect life. Seems I've
done wrong more than I've done right. But thank God for compassion and
forgiveness. That kept me from a terrible plight. You see, my life was
spinning out of control. The fact that I'm still alive today, Ain't
nothing but a miracle.
For I've got work to do, work to do.
God wouldn't let me die, because He knew I've got work
to do.
Oh yes, and I've got life to live. There are blessings
He wants to give.
Chorus 2 :
God blocked it, Yes He did! He wouldn't let
it be so. No. He wouldn't let it be so. For I've got work to do. Work
to do. God wouldn't let me die. Because He knew I've got work to do
Oh Yes.
Hook:
And I've got life to live. There are blessings He
wants to give. God blocked it, He wouldn't let it be so. No, He wouldn't
let it be so. God blocked it, He wouldn't let it be so.
Partial VAMP:
It was the Lord! It was the Lord!(He did
it for the Hebrew boys) It was the Lord! (He then turned around and
did it for Job) It was the Lord!..............
Tag:
It was the Lord. (Nobody, nobody else NO!!!!!) Nobody
but Jesus! It was the Lord. (Nobody, nobody else NO!!!!!)
God blocked it, He wouldn't let it be so.
Short Reprise in Cut 7:
(An additional testimony: in a
different style. Straight Gospel blues and soul, at its finest, with
simple chordal backup by organ / piano)
It was the Lord! It was the Lord!
Lord, I thank you! I don't know what I would do, if wasn't
for the grace of Jesus. I don't know where I would be, if wasn't for
the mercy of Lord. I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, know!
So many many many, many many times the devil tried to
take my life, but God stopped him, right in the nick of time, but God
stopped him, right in the nick of time, but God stepped in, right in
the nick of time, but God stepped in, right in the nick of time....)
Chorus:
God blocked it. God blocked it!
