I'm the salt of the earth

I'm the salt of the earth

I carry the flavor of God 

I season the earth. 


I'm the salt of the earth

I'm the salt of the earth

I carry the flavor of God 

I season the earth. 


I'm the salt of the earth

I'm the salt of the earth

I carry the flavor of God 

I season the earth. 


I'm a city, built on a high hill

Like the yeast, I influence the world

I am rich, I am prosperous, I am blessed. 


I'm a city, built on a high hill

Like the yeast, I leaven the world

I am rich, I am prosperous, I am blessed. 


I'm the light of the world

I'm the light of the world

I shed the light of God upon the earth. 


I'm the light of the world

I'm the light of the world

I shed the light of God upon the earth. 


I'm a city, built on a high hill

Like the yeast, I influence the world

I am rich, I am prosperous, I am blessed. 


I'm a city, built on a high hill

Like the yeast, I leaven the world

I am rich, I am prosperous, I am blessed. 


I live to dominate, surely there is no enchantment against me

No divination, against me

I am covered. 


I live to dominate, surely there is no enchantment against me

No divination, against me

I am covered. 


I'm highly favored

I'm highly favored

I'm highly favored

I'm highly favored

In Jesus' Name. 


I'm highly favored

I'm highly favored

I'm highly favored

I'm highly favored

In Jesus' Name. 


I'm the salt of the earth

I'm the salt of the earth

I carry the flavor of God 

I season the earth. 


I'm the salt of the earth

I'm the salt of the earth

I carry the flavor of God 

I season the earth. 


I'm the light of the world

I'm the light of the world

I shed the light of God upon the earth.
