From the recording The Ron Parker Experience
Written by Ron E Parker
Alicia Parker sings the second verse for me. Josh and Ryan Parker sing back ups with us.
This song is my roots. I played Christian Soul music for years. I've just begun branching out into the mainstream and am enjoying it very much!
Lyrics
Rightful Place
I take my rightful place through Jesus Christ my Lord
I take my shield of faith and double edged sword
The gates of Hell shall not prevail over me
By His stripes I’m healed
His blood has set me free
I take my place back- I take my deliverance back
I take my health back- I take my wealth back
We take our life back- We take our family back
We take our government back
In Jesus Name
I take my rightful place in Jesus Christ my King
Through Him who gives me strength I can do anything
No weapon formed against my soul will ever prosper
I have been called by grace I am more than a conqueror
I take my present back- I take my future back
I take my vision back- I take my victory back
We take our peace back- We take our joy back
We take our love back
In Jesus Name
Need to groove to something
Steppin’ move something
Ain’t no blues we ain’t losing
Gonna cruise to something
I put my mind into it
Put my back into it
Put my heart and my soul and my life into it
The Devil stole from me
Pure gold from me
Took my future my heart he took my soul from me
So I’m takin it back
Ain’t no slack jack
Jesus saved me and raised put me on the right track
(REPRISE)
I take my place back- I take my deliverance back
I take my health back- I take my wealth back
We take our life back- We take our family back
We take our government back
We take our freedom
I take my present back- I take my future back
I take my vision back- I take my victory back
We take our peace-
We take our joy-
We take our love-
In Jesus Name
