[Intro: Kanye West]
Up from the ashes, into the sky
Found a redeemer, how I survive
Voice of their mothers, Mary and Christ
Your light has healed me, blessed with new life

[Chorus: Kanye West]
I could tell you, he could show you
God in Heaven, shinin' on you
Through your message, now I know you
Come to you empty, free of my pride (Ooh)

[Verse: Sunday Service Choir]
Praise you holy, now and forever
All the glory, it belongs to God
By Christ's power, we're victorious, been set-

[Refrain: Sunday Service Choir & Kanye West]
I come to you empty, free of my pride
We walk by faith and not by our sight
Declaring the victory, one day at a time
God is our shepherd, light in the night
Cure for the sick, he's eyes for the blind

[Chorus: Kanye West]
I could tell you, He can show you
God in Heaven, shinin' on you
(Shooby-doo-bop, shoo-doo-bop, I wanna love you)
Through your message, now I know you (Ooh)
I come to you empty, free of my pride

[Refrain: Sunday Service Choir]
We walk by faith and not by our sight (Ooh)
Declaring the victory, one day at a time (One day at a time)
God is our shepherd, light in the night (Life to the night)
Cure for the sick (Ooh-ooh), he's eyes for the blind

The ubiquitous Kanye West—from his famous quip, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people,” to “I'ma let you finish,” to marrying Kim Kardashian, to announcing that he’s running for President, and admitting his love for President Trump—you can see that he’s a staple of the tabloids and the entertainment world, industry-wide.

That certainly doesn’t take anything away from his music; as a matter of fact, it only seems to add to his fortuitous career. For instance, his 2010 album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, was universally praised by fans and critics alike; it was recorded during the backlash he received from the Swift interruption and during his break-up with then-girlfriend Amber Rose.

He has scored other well-known hits, as well, from each of his previous studio albums—such as “Stronger,” “Heartless,” and “Gold Digger.” Each of his albums has been massive critical and commercial successes, including his collaboration album with JAY-Z, Watch the Throne. As of 2020, West has won an astounding 21 Grammys, tied with JAY-Z as the most decorated hip-hop artist in Grammy history.
