[Intro: Taya Smith, 8x8 & KB]
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever you would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever you would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior
I am yours, and You are mine
[Verse 1]
For Jesus, let me tell you 'bout me
I'm not impressed easily cause I've never been a place that my God don't reign
No way, no way, HGA to the grave
Gave all himself
All I wanna do is give him all of me, all of me, all of me, all of me
Struggling, oh, I be struggling
My idols are mimickin' Jesus
I bury my sin in 3 days, it's back up again
In the beginning we, in the beginning we, we would give anything
Value for ministry, missions, and bigger things
You could take everything you just give me the King
But the fire faded
I just wanna retire with savings
Are you the safest when the world loving you or had enough of you?
Who's in more danger, the persecuted or the comfortable?
Give us a crown
You can hold onto them thorns
I don't want them having more
Nobody will suffer no more
Only say things that will end with applause
Don't offend no one except for the Lord
No mas, you are too good to be throwin' your cross
I'm at the cross, do what you want!
[Bridge: Taya Smith, 8x8 & KB]
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior
I am yours and You are mine
I am yours and You are mine
[Verse 2]
How does a man stay on top?
Become the servant of all?
When you the servant of all, no competition's involved
Cause who is knocking you off? There's no where left to fall
Progressive with the flow, that's a little one
As I'm insured, I'm sure you're missing these little puns
I'm insured, yeah, the settlement is finna come
He's still shining if I'm jacked for every nickel, son
Cause no way I'ma die slow, no way I'ma die slow
Won't break, I will not fold
Cancel my tour, not my soul
I'll go blindfold in and out of time zones
I'm in my zone, put it up on your iPhone
Leaving your mind blown, looking for his arrival
I can see Him ridin' down all on that white horse
Looking like OJ in the bronco
And I'm learning when I've flown
Flights make my respect much stronger
The higher that I go in grace, everything below is smaller
I'ma steward this well
He holds my airways, I breathe with a heavy flow
Forevermore, yes I'm willing and able
Like I'm sittin' in an exit row
I gotta make an exit though
What will they remember though?
How I was born? How 'bout my metaphors?
Man of war standin' in truth and I was serving strong
Bring it, they can throw violence
I'm in the back grinnin' like Joe Biden
He rose the ocean, Poseidon
To be frank, no ocean I won't dive in
[Outro: Taya Smith] (x2)
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever you would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior

1. Put #God #first in everything #you do
2. #Fail #big 3. You'll never see a U-Haul behind a hearse and 4. #Say #thank you in #advance of what is already yours.
'Let me take this moment to wholeheartedly congratulate each and everyone one of you. You graduated. You did it,' he told the 218 graduates.
'Number one, put God first in everything you do. Everything that you think you see in me and everything you think I've accomplished and everything you think I have... everything I have is by the grace of God, understand that. It's a gift.'
He continued by telling a story about when he was 20 years old and was flunking out of college with a 1.7 grade point average. 'I hope none of you can relate', he added which was met by roaring laughter from the crowd.
The Academy Award-winning actor said he was sitting at his mother's beauty parlor at the time and a woman told him that one day he would travel the world and speak to millions of people.
Washington eventually received a bachelor's degree in drama and journalism from Fordham University in New York, according to the Huffington Post.
'I've kept God in my life and it's kept me humbled,' he said.
The three other key points of advice he shared included to 'fail big', 'you'll never see a U-Haul behind a hearse' and 'say thank you in advance of what is already yours',
which were captured in a video posted to YouTube by one of the graduate's loved ones.
'Today is the beginning of the rest of your life and you only live once, so do what you feel passionate about,' Washington told the graduates.
'Take chances, professionally. Don't be afraid to fail.'
He continued: 'Don't be afraid to dream big, but remember dreams without goals are just dreams and they ultimately fuel disappointment. So have dreams but have goals.
'To achieve these goals, you must apply discipline and consistency everyday. You have to work at it.'
Before the actor left the ceremony early so he could deliver another commencement speech at Wiley College in Texas, he was given an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters by the university, according to Nola.com.
His parting words to the graduates were that working hard is what successful people do.
Washington said: 'Don't just aspire to make a living, aspire to make a difference.'
I recently completed my third year in university with amazing results, thanks to Jesus.
I began listening to Joseph Prince’s daily webcast in the weeks before the final examinations. The message of grace radically changed my approach to studying. I began to declare that I am the righteousness of God through Jesus Christ and claimed the marks I wanted because I knew I had that privilege as a 100 percent forgiven and beloved child of God.
As I sat for each paper, I put all my faith in Jesus’ finished work and not my preparation. This gave me great relief, knowing that I didn’t have to rely on my efforts, but could trust Jesus to give me the marks I wanted.
One particular subject, philosophy, was supposed to be an open book, group-based exam. However, at the last minute, the professor changed it to an individual exam where we had to write four essays in two and a half hours. Although I had access to my notes, I had barely studied as I thought it would be a group-based paper. I sat for the paper almost unprepared.
Believing that Jesus could do the impossible, I simply prayed that He would guide my mind and hand in the exam. I prayed in tongues and saw my mind overflowing with ideas for each essay and my hands freely writing with great ease. Throughout the whole exam, I had peace and experienced what was like a download of knowledge and wisdom from heaven!
After all my exams were over, I began to have doubts about the marks I’d prayed for based on how difficult the papers were. However, during those moments, I would claim out loud the marks I had prayed for.
I proclaimed, “Even though it seems impossible, I thank You, Jesus, for providing the marks I have asked for.” I pictured the marks in my mind and claimed them in faith.
As the university began posting marks, I was shocked—Jesus had provided more than I asked for! Not only that, but my posted marks were revised upwards in the following days! I have never seen this happen before as what is posted is usually the final mark. In addition, I had prayed for an 85 percent for my philosophy but when I checked my mark, it wasn’t 85 percent but 95 percent! I thought I was dreaming and blinked twice to make sure it was right!
Jesus showed me practically what grace means—unmerited and undeserved favor.
In total, He gave me 15 cent more than the marks I had asked for. None of this would have ever been possible if it weren’t for His wonderful grace. This term, which was supposed to be the hardest in our program, turned out to be one of the easiest for me because I stopped trusting in my efforts, and began trusting in Him!
I am truly grateful for Joseph Prince’s messages as they opened my eyes to this revelation and my life has been amazing since! All praise and glory to our Lord Jesus Christ!
