Lyrics
Trouble (Notes from Jail)
From Philippians 1
Music and Lyrics by Andrea Davis-Griffin
1. Trouble, oh, trouble,
Helps me tell of your Good News,
Trouble, oh, trouble,
Clarifies the path I'll choose,
Because you are praying for me,
And the Spirit is helping me,
I know this trouble will bring my freedom......
2. Freedom, oh, freedom,
Choose your way or choose my own,
Freedom, oh, freedom,
Live for me or for your throne,
But I won't succumb to shame,
'Cause my life exalted your name,
In life or death, I will have courage....
Bridge
You must stay standing strong,
Your enemies disarmed,
Your faith and suffering are His way of honoring
Your sufferings for His sake,
A testimony make,
To bring Him glory and more faith......
3. Courage, oh, courage,
Born out of my loss of freedom,
Courage, oh, courage,
They spoke the Word, their fear was gone,
So my trouble has caused more people to know God,
Rejoice in freedom or in trouble.....
Trouble, oh, trouble,
Helps you tell of the Good News.,,,,,,
