Kirk Franklin – Strong God || Download MP3, Video & Lyrics

16-time GRAMMY® winning artist, songwriter and producer Kirk Franklin unveiled the powerful video for his song "Strong God." The song is the latest single from Franklin's GRAMMY®-winning, critically acclaimed album LONG LIVE LOVE, which was released in 2019.

The video was directed by Joey Papa and shines a light on some of the most serious issues that the world is facing including, poverty, racism, drug addiction, domestic violence and the covid-19 pandemic. Portions of the thought-provoking video were inspired by a recent trip to the Dominican Republic that Franklin took with the non-profit organization, *Compassion International*. He serves as a music artist ambassador for the charity, which provides holistic child development to children and families in impoverished communities all over the world through local churches. Franklin is using this song as an opportunity to raise funds for the charity's Covid-19 Disaster Relief. The "Strong God" video premiered on Franklin's YouTube / Vevo channel and BET Soul.

Lyrics For Strong God

Mayday, mayday (Yeah)
The Earth is shaking (Yeah)
Who gon' save the babies (Yeah)
From another Bloody Sunday?
I'm singing mayday, mayday (Yeah)
They love me or they hate me (Yeah)
For my skin color (Yeah)
But you say I am your brother, yeah

The government keep lying to me
Telling me that they come to set the people free
Cut the power phones when you catch us on our knees
Heaven please, we're in a state of emergency
See we need a strong god, yeah
We need the real god, yeah
The god with the resurrection power from the grave
To take away the hate, to heal the human race, yeah

We need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a
We need a strong god
See we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a
Yuh, yuh, yuhSay mayday, mayday
They say the climate changin'
The poor people in the cold
But you keep preachin' to they soul
But we don't leave 'til everybody's free
And we won't sleep 'til everybody eats (Yeah, yeah)
Until lives matter (Yeah)
More than ties matter

The government keep lying to me
Telling me that they come to set the people free
Cut the power phones when you catch us on our knees
Heaven please, we're in a state of emergency
See we need a strong god, real strong, yeah
We need the real god, yeah, yeah
The god with the resurrection power from the grave
To take away the hate, to heal the human race

See we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a
We need a strong god
See we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a
(Let's go)We need a, we need a,
We need a, we need a, we need a, we need a
We need a strong god
See we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a

Mayday, mayday (Yeah, yeah)
