[Verse 1:]
You�??ve been saying that you�??re tired of going through
Seems like everyone else is blessed but you
Preacher telling you, your miracle is on the way
Paid your tithes, you�??re confused cause your rent is late
[Pre Chorus:]
So you may not have a mansion in a gated neighborhood
But at least you have a roof over your head
You say your body needs a healing, well the healer�??s here today
[Chorus:]
Praise now, it could be worse, Praise now it could be worse
[Verse 2:]
You complain about the job that you don�??t like
Do your best, working hard they don�??t treat your right
Boss is telling you, your raise is coming soon
With no notice, you�??re laid off, what do you do
[Pre Chorus:]
You�??ve been waiting on your blessing
Don�??t you know you�??re already blessed
You should thank the Lord for what you already have
If it wasn�??t for Jesus, tell me where would you be
[Chorus]
[Vamp]
Praise now it could be worse
