Rather Be With You Lyrics

I rather be with you, I rather be with you

I rather be with you, I rather be with you

I rather be with you, I rather be with you

I rather be with you, I rather be with you

In the realm of darkness, chaos held sway

As a child of light, found purpose in this fray

With a gift from God, a purpose to unfold

To create and inspire, what a story to be told

Singing, dancing, writing, the arts were my domain

A spark within me, an eternal flame.

But the devil sought to put out my light

Whispered doubts and fears, tried to steal all of my might

He casted illusions and clouded my mind

Tried to convince me my talents had no life

In moments of weakness I questioned my worth

Apart of his plan to bind me to this earth

But deep within my spirit a fire burned bright

YAH love surround me, guide me through the night

Remind me of my purpose, my role to play

To uplift and light the darkest way

I rather be with you (rather be)

I rather be with you (with you)

I rather be with you (rather be)

I rather be with you (with you)

I rather be with you (rather be)

I rather be with you (with you)

I rather be with you (rather be)

I rather be with you (with you)

Why do people choose evil, why do they lose faith

Don't know what they are doing, but it's never too late

In songs I found connection, in dance a sense of grace

In words the beginning of the Most High's ways

No matter who you are or the battle that you fight

Within you there's a gift to give what is right

YAH is our armor, our shield, and our guide

Together we will conquer, put that pride aside

So that our voices can be heard, shout it aloud

Give praises to the Most High, never have doubt

You're a wellspring of love that's overflowing

And we're given the power to overcome sin

Stand tall and strong, unite against the wrong

You know I gotta grow, you know I wanna go

I'm just tryna, I'm tryna make it home

So I rather, I rather be

I rather be with you (rather be)

I rather be with you (with you)

I rather be with you (rather be)

I rather be with you (with you)

I rather be with you (rather be)

I rather be with you (with you)

I rather be with you (rather be)

I rather be with you (with you)

Rather be living for God, enjoying the gift of life

(I rather be with you, I rather be with you)

No hate in my heart, only doing what is right

(I rather be with you, I rather be with you)

Let my story be heard, a testimony of might

(I rather be with you, I rather be with you)

With God as my compass, I triumphed over strife

(I rather be with you, I rather be with you)
