God Laughed
Resilience Unveiled: God's Laughter in Life's Trials
Lyrics
I was having myself just an awful year
I experienced a challenging year.
Broken hearted, lost my job, in debt up to my ears
Heartbroken, unemployed, and deeply in debt.
Didn't have a soul to lean on, or to tell it to
Feeling isolated with no one to confide in.
Headed out the door to sing me some blues
Decided to sing the blues to cope.
When the doctor called and said, girl I got some bad news
Received a call from the doctor with distressing news.
Need you to come back in, I've got some tests I'd like to do
Asked to return for further medical tests.
Well I had just been informed, no more insurance for my health
Learned there was no more health insurance.
So I guess I was feeling pretty sorry for myself
Felt self-pity due to the challenging circumstances.
Thought a little whiskey, might just help to pull me though
Considered using whiskey to cope.
But God Laughed and he said, No child this ain't the way
God intervened, advising against self-destructive behavior.
You better count your blessings or you're gonna pay
Encouraged to appreciate blessings and avoid negative consequences.
You ain't having no Pity Party, no that ain't the way
Advised against self-pity, emphasizing a more positive perspective.
Well I was halfway home when that whiskey kicked in
Consumed whiskey and felt its effects.
Every telephone pole started looking like a friend
Started perceiving things differently under the influence.
And I thought to myself, Oh Lord I'm done
Felt despair and believed the situation was hopeless.
Was about that time that I noticed through my tears
Noticed police lights approaching while crying.
Those flashing red and blue getting closer in the rear
Felt a sense of judgment or scrutiny.
You know I could have sworn, I heard Him laughing at me
Perceived divine laughter in the midst of difficulties.
But God Laughed and he said, Oh no child you ain't done
God reassured that there's more to come, rejecting despair.
Girl I'm just getting started, gonna have me some fun
God emphasized the beginning of a new, enjoyable phase.
I ain't finished with you yet, No you ain't done
Reiterated that the journey is ongoing, not finished.
But God Laughed and he said, Oh no child you ain't done
God affirmed that the journey is ongoing.
Got a lot for you learn, your lesson's just begun
Conveyed the importance of learning with more experiences ahead.
It ain't finished till I say so, No you ain't done
Emphasized that the journey isn't complete until determined by God.
Well I got myself together, I got back on my feet
Rebuilt life and found positivity.
Life was looking up and things were feeling pretty sweet
Things improved, and life seemed better.
Seemed the time had come to finally put some things to rest
Decided to put past issues to rest.
So to that boy who broke my heart, I gave a song that I wrote
Gave a song to the person who caused heartbreak.
and I sent him on his way with forgiveness in a note
Offered forgiveness in a note and let go.
Smiled and said to myself, Thank God that's done
Felt relieved that a chapter had closed.
But God laughed and he said, Oh no child you ain't done
God intervened again, signaling there's more to come.
Girl I'm just getting started gonna have me some fun
Emphasized the beginning of another enjoyable phase.
I ain't finished with you yet, No this ain't done
Reiterated that the journey is ongoing.
God Laughed and he said, Oh no child you ain't done
God confirmed there's more to learn and experience.
Got a lot for you learn, and baby here it comes
Stressed that challenges are part of the ongoing journey.
It ain't finished till I say so, No this ain't done
Emphasized that the journey isn't complete until determined by God.
No, this ain't done (No this ain't done)
Repetition: Acknowledgment that it's not finished.
No, this ain't done No, No
Repetition: Reinforcement that it's not finished.
No this ain't done (No this ain't done)
Repetition: Continued assurance that it's not finished.
No, No this ain't done
Repetition: Persistent declaration that it's not finished.
No, No No No this ain't done (No this ain't done)
Repetition: Strong emphasis that it's not finished.
No, this ain't done No, No, No
Repetition: Affirmation that it's not finished.
It ain't finished till I say so
Emphasized that the conclusion is determined by God.
No this ain't done
Final affirmation that it's not finished until God decides.
