5 Christian R&B Songs


All the rhythm, none of the guilt.


1. I Smile

Artist: Kirk Franklin

Lyrics:

I dedicate this song to recession
Depression and unemployment
This song's for you
Today's a new day, but there is no sunshine
Nothing but clouds and its dark in my heart
And it feels like a cold night
Today's a new day where are my blue skies
Where is the love and the joy that you promised me
Tell me it's alright
I almost gave up, but a power that I can't explain
Fell from heaven like a shower
I smile, even though I hurt see I smile
I know God is working so I smile
Even though I've been here for a while
I smile, smile
It's so hard to look up when you been down
Sure would hate to see you give up now
You look so much better when you smile, so smile
Today's a new day, but there is no sunshine
Nothing but clouds and its dark in my heart
And it feels like a cold night
Todays a new day, tell me where are my blue skies
Where is the love and the joy that you promised me
Tell me it's alright
I almost gave up but a power that I can't explain
Fell from heaven like a shower now
I smile, even though I hurt see I smile
I know God is working so I smile
Even though I've been here for a while
I smile, smile
It's so hard to look up when you been down
Sure would hate to see you give up now
You look so much better when you smile
Smile for me
Can you just smile for me
Smile for me
Can you just smile for me
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
(And while your praying)
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
(Look in the mirror)
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
(Always remember)
You look so much better when you smile, come on


2. God In Me 

Artist: Mary Mary (featuring Kierra 'Kiki' Sheard)

Lyrics:

I just wanna tell the truth main
I just wanna tell the truth main
You're so fly, you’re so high
Everybody around you trying to figure out why
Your so cool, you win all the time
Everywhere you go man you get a lot of shine
You're draw like a magnet better yet I have it
Everything you wear people say they got have it
From the sweat suit to the white tee to the Gucci
You can probably say people wanna get like me
But what they don't know is when you go home
And get behind closed doors, man you hit the floor
And what they can't see is you on your knees
So the next time you get a chance tell 'em
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
You think I'm so fresh, you think I'm so clean
You think I'm so sweet
It's the God in me
It's the God in me
What is it you think you see
It's the God in me
You see her style you think she nice
You look at her whip you say the whip tight
You look at her crib you thinking she's paid
You look at her life, now you think she's got it made
But everything she's got the girl's been given
She calls it a blessing but you call it living
When it comes to money she can be a hero
She writes them checks with a whole lot of zeros
But what you don't know is when she get home
And get behind closed doors, man she hits the floor
And what you can't see is she's on her knees
If you ask her she'll tell you
What is it you think you see
When you see me, you see me
You don't know how much I pray
Don't know how much I gave
Don't know how much I changed
I'm just tryna explain


3. I'm Still Here

Artist: Mandisa

Lyrics:

Yesterday
Had me knocked to the ground
Had me down for the count
My faith a million miles away
And I dropped out of sight
This overcomer lost her will to fight
I know it's been a while since
Anybody see me smile and
Shame had me thinking it was
Game over
Thought my best days were gone, yeah
Turns out that I was wrong 'cause
This is my comeback song, yeah
And by the grace of God
I'm still here
Hope is rising, waking up my soul
I'm still here
All my broken, turning beautiful
'Cause I feel my heartbeat beating
And my lungs breathe breathing
Guess my God's not done with me yet
I'm still here
All my yesterdays are gone
And the best is yet to come
Now I see
There's a reason I survived
There's a story still to write
His grace is working everything
Everything for my good
In a way that, only
He could
I know it's been a while since
Anybody's seen me smile and
Shame had me thinking it was
Game over
Thought my best days were gone, yeah
Turns out, that I was wrong 'cause
This is my comeback song
I'm still here (I'm still here)
Hope is rising, waking up my soul
I'm still here (I'm still here)
All my broken, turning beautiful
'Cause I feel my heart beat beating
And my lungs breathe breathing
Guess my God's not done with me yet (done with me yet)
I'm still here (I'm still here)
All my yesterdays are gone
And the best is yet to come
He lifted me up (He lifted me up)
Out of the pit
All glory to God
I will sing it again
He lifted me up (yeah)
Out of the pit
All glory to God
And the best is yet to come
The best is yet to come


4. Be The Change

Artist: Britt Nicole

Lyrics:

I've been staring at the world, waiting
I've been looking for a change lately
All the trouble and all the pain we're facing
Someone gotta be the hope and someone gotta be the love
Too much light to be living in the dark
Where are we going? We ain't getting very far
Why waste time? We only got one life
And don't you know it starts today?
And baby, no, it's not too late
It begins with you and I
Together we can be the change
So go and let your heart burn bright
And watch it catch like a wild fire
I believe in you and I
Together we can be the change
Whoa whoa whoa
Together we can be the change
So many hearts around the world, breaking
If I only got one chance, I'll take it
Let my voice be the trumpet that can say that
Someone gotta be the hope and someone gotta be the love
So go and let your heart burn bright
And watch it catch like a wild fire
I believe in you and I (you and I)
Together we can be the change
Whoa whoa whoa
Together we can be the change
Face it
One chance, we gotta take it
Stand together and change it
We can make this world bright
Turn on all the lights
Face it
One chance, we gotta take it (we gotta take it)
Stand together and change it (change it)
We can make this world bright
Turn on all the lights
We can be the change


5. No Looking Back

Artist: Damita

Lyrics:

I am leaving this place now
Letting go of all my fears
Saying good-bye to the memory I hold dear
I can finally breath again
It’s a new day fair well past
As I close this chapter I set free at last
Oh I’m saying
I made up my mind there’s no turning back
The past is behind me there’s no looking back
I'm looking forward not behind
I've made a decision to give you my life
And no looking back and its and no looking back and there’s no looking back
Every step I take is new
I found courage to go on
Though its rough sometime I still have to be strong
I may have to walk alone
But the One who lives inside me
Is always there to comfort and to guide and I want to say
I made up my mind there’s no turning back
The past is behind me there’s no looking back
I'm looking forward not behind
I've made a decision, I give you my life
And no looking back and there is no looking back
And no looking back and there is no looking back
I can see the sun breaking through the clouds
Lifting my hands cause I'm all right now
I can shout about it, I can laugh about it, I can talk about it
Say there is no looking back (say there is no looking back)
I can see my way out
I made up my mind there’s no turning back
The past is behind me there’s no looking back
I'm looking forward not behind
I've made a decision
I give you my life
