Behind Closed Doors

I Feel Like....-Chapter 10

"I got a feeling, got a feeling, everything is gonna be alright

I got a feeling, a good ole feeling, everything is gonna be alright

Woke up this morning, said I'm feeling fine

I had my health and strength, clothed in my right mind

Don't have to worry, I don't have to fret

He's been so good to me and He's never failed me yet, said I got a feeling

I got a feeling, got a feeling, everything is gonna be alright

I got a feeling, a good ole feeling, everything is gonna be alright

Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I have to cry

But it's good to know He's always standing by

The sun's gonna shine in my life, whenever it rains

Don't have to worry about the trouble life can bring

I got a feeling, got a feeling, everything is gonna be alright

I got a feeling, a good ole feeling, everything is gonna be alright

It's gonna be alright

ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT

Everything

EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE ALRIGHT

Won't you say it again

ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT

Say

EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE ALRIGHT

I will never hold my head down, I'll just keep looking up

I'll hold on, OOH

I'll be strong OOH

Cause He'll never, never, never

NEVER LEAVE ME ALONE

I got a feeling, got a feeling, everything is gonna be alright

I got a feeling, a good ole feeling, everything is gonna be alright

It's gonna be alright

ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT

Everything

EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE ALRIGHT

Won't you say it again

ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT

Say

EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE ALRIGHT"

The choir sang and dad went up to the podium to do his sermon. I sighed and laid back in my seat. Mama elbowed me , making me sit up straight.

"Everything is gon be alright...y'all know why ?" Dad asked.

"Cause Jesus !" Some of the church folks said. Dad slowly nodded.

"Jesus....you gotta have faith in Jesus in order to carry on. You ain't gon get nowhere with out faith. It's like a body with no soul and spirit. You can do what ever with the body but it AIN'T NOTHIN without the soul...God is testin ya. You might be down low at bottom like you've never been before , prayin on yo hands and knees every day but one day you realize ...ain't nothin happenin...Why come God ain't help me yet ? You end up doubtin Jesus. That right there is Gods test.  He wanna see how much you believe in him. " Dad preached. I rolled my eyes and shook my head to myself.
