Lyrics
Now lay me down
Expressing a request for rest or peace
A crown of thorns falls from my head
Symbolic reference to the suffering of wearing a crown of thorns
My Lord you see my knees I fall
A gesture of submission or prayer to the Lord
There's never been no time I ever been denied
Asserting a history of never being denied by a higher power
Almighty Lord
Addressing the Almighty Lord
Oh, God in Heaven gonna give me all I want
Expressing confidence in receiving everything desired from God
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Repetition emphasizing reassurance or affirmation
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, woow
-My God's gimme, gimme
Desire for divine gifts or blessings
All that Heaven's blessed
Asking for all the blessings from Heaven
And everytime give me everything I prayed I'd be
Gratitude for receiving everything prayed for
Ooh, my God's given to me all that Heaven gives
Acknowledging the gifts received from God
Oh, and everytime give me everything I believe I need
Gratitude for receiving everything believed to be necessary
I'm a chosen one, I'm Lazarus
Identifying as a chosen one, drawing a parallel with Lazarus
Rising from the dead
Symbolic resurrection and overcoming challenges
My blood feet and knees I crawl
Physical humility and submission to God
And my tithies he give me seven times
Receiving abundance, possibly in the form of tithes
Gonna give me all I want
Reiteration of confidence in receiving all desired from God
Oh, God in heaven gonna give me all I want
-It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Repetition emphasizing reassurance or affirmation
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, woow
-My God's gimme, gimme
Reiterating the desire for divine gifts or blessings
All that Heaven's blessed
Requesting all the blessings from Heaven
And everytime give me everything I prayed I'd be
Expressing gratitude for receiving prayed-for things
Ooh, my God's given to me all that Heaven gives
Acknowledging the gifts received from God
Oh, and everytime give me everything I believe I need
Expressing gratitude for receiving believed-necessary things
My God's gimme, gimme
Reiterating the desire for divine gifts or blessings
All that Heaven's blessed
Requesting all the blessings from Heaven
And everytime give me everything I prayed I'd be
Expressing gratitude for receiving prayed-for things
Ooh, my God's given to me all that Heaven gives
Acknowledging the gifts received from God
Oh, and everytime give me everything I believe I need
Expressing gratitude for receiving believed-necessary things
