Lyrics Karen Clark Sheard – Gotta Right…

I gotta right to praise Him…

Every now and then, I take a retrospective look within,
And from that, I find all the words from within a friend…
Because through the years, You caught my tears;

Every time I think about You, (Every time I think about…)
I gotta right to praise You, Lord… (Got a right to praise You, Lord…)
You soothe my doubts, and calm my fears; (Soothe my doubts, and calm my fears…)
I can’t explain the way I feel… (Can’t explain the way I feel, oh, yeah…)

Every time I think about You,
I gotta right to thank You, Lord… (I got a right…)
You blew away the rain, took away the pain, (Blew away the rain, took away the pain…)
That’s why I exercise my right…

How can I ignore the one that loved me when I could care less? (Ah-ow, oh, no…)
I wasn’t fit to live and yet not ready to die, just a mess… Whee…
You looked beyond my faults and saw my loss;
Now portraying joy and zeal is my greatest skill…
Now I promise I will love, praise, and keep You in my life…

Every time I think about You, (Every time I think about…)
I gotta right to praise You, Lord… (Your goodness to me…)
You soothe my doubts, and calm my fears; (All you’ve done for me…)
I can’t explain the way I feel… (I can’t explain…)

Every time I think about You,
I gotta right to thank You, Lord… (I got a right…)
You blew away the rain, took away the pain, (Blew the rain, took the pain…)
That’s why I exercise my right…

I will bless the Lord at all times,
And His praise, I’ll continually rewind and say them again…
Because through the years, You calmed my fears,

I gotta right to praise Him…
I gotta right to thank Him…
(I got a right…) I gotta right to praise Him… (to give you some praise! Oh, yeah…)
I gotta right to praise Him, thank Him… (Oh, yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh…)

Every time I think about You,
I gotta right to praise You, Lord… (I’m gonna forever praise you! Oh, yes, I will!)
You soothe my doubts and clam my fears; (I will bless the Lord at all times,)
I can’t explain the way I feel… (And his praises shall continually be in my mouth…)

Every time I think about You, (Oh, yeah…)
I gotta right to thank You, Lord… (Oh, yeah… oh, yeah, yeah…)
You blew away the rain, took away the pain; (Oh, praise is my weapon;)
That’s way I exercise my right… (I don’t know about you, but I pull my weapon out…)

Every time I think about You, (Oh, yeah…)
I gotta right to praise You, Lord… (Oh, no weapon that’s formed against me, it’s not gonna prosper!)
You soothe my doubts and clam my fears; (Oh! Oh, praise can do a lot of things for me…)
I can’t explain the way I feel… (Praise will protect me! Praise will…)

Every time I think about You, (Praise will shield me, praise will cover me…)
I gotta right to thank You, Lord…(Praise will — oh! It will help me out of my situations…)
