Lyrics

Trouble pulled up this morning…
Fear knocked on the door…
Devil thought he had an appointment with me—
**God said, “NOT TODAY!”**
**[Verse 1]**
Woke up this morning, pressure on ten,
Same old battle trying me again.
Bad news coming, bills stacked high,
Fear started talking, filling my mind.
Said, “You won't make it, this time you're done.”
Then I remembered where my help comes from.
I hit my knees, didn't know what to say,
But heaven stepped in—
**God said, “NOT TODAY!”**
Not my child, not this fight,
Not while I'm standing by their side.
You came for their peace, came for their faith,
But you're leaving here empty—
**NOT TODAY!**
**[Chorus]**
**Not today! Not today!**
Devil, you can take that mess away!
You came for my joy, you came for my praise,
But God stepped in and said—
**NOT TODAY!**
Fear gotta go!
Doubt gotta move!
I know my God, I've got nothing to prove!
You thought I'd break, thought I'd lose my way—
**BUT GOD SAID, “NOT TODAY!”**
**[Verse 2]**
I've been through storms that should've took me down,
Been in some battles with nobody around.
I've cried some tears nobody ever knew,
But every single time, Jesus pulled me through.
So when trouble comes knocking, I already know,
I'm not fighting this battle on my own.
I've got a Savior who's already made
A way through things that should've had me afraid.
The enemy says, “Remember your past.”
God says, “Remember My grace.”
Enemy says, “You're going back.”
God says, **“Stay in your place!”**
I've been redeemed, I've been set free,
What God has delivered ain't controlling me!
**[Chorus]**
**Not today! Not today!**
Devil, you can take that mess away!
You came for my joy, you came for my praise,
But God stepped in and said—
**NOT TODAY!**
Fear gotta go!
Doubt gotta move!
I know my God, I've got nothing to prove!
You thought I'd break, thought I'd lose my way—
**BUT GOD SAID, “NOT TODAY!”**
**[Rap Verse]**
Hold up!
Depression at the door?
**NOT TODAY!**
Fear in my head?
**NOT TODAY!**
Doubt in my ear?
**NOT TODAY!**
Trying to steal my peace?
**GET OUT MY WAY!**
I'm prayed up!
Faith up!
Grace got me covered!
Jesus beside me—
Tell me why would I run?
I've got scars, but I'm standing!
Got wounds, but I'm praising!
Been hit, been tested,
But my God is amazing!
Devil thought pressure would make me quit,
Didn't know pressure put praise on my lips!
Thought that valley would bury my faith,
Didn't know God grows warriors in places like this!
No weapon!
No fear!
No lie in my ear!
God didn't carry me this far just to disappear!
I'm still here!
Still blessed!
Still walking!
Still called!
Still covered by the blood through it all!
So tell that mountain standing in my way:
**YOU PICKED THE WRONG CHILD ON THE WRONG DAY!**
**[Breakdown]**
Anxiety said, “What if?”
**God said, “Trust Me.”**
Fear said, “Run!”
**God said, “Stand.”**
Trouble said, “It's over.”
**God said, “I'm not finished.”**
The enemy said, “I got you now…”
**GOD SAID—**
### **“NOT TODAY!”**
**[Final Chorus]**
**NOT TODAY! NOT TODAY!**
I'm walking in faith and I'm making my way!
God's got my back, Jesus leads the way,
So whatever comes against me—
**NOT TODAY!**
I may get tired, but I won't stay down!
May walk through fire, but I won't turn around!
I've got King Jesus and I'm not afraid—
**GOD SAID, “NOT TODAY!”**
**[Outro]**
Not my peace.
Not my joy.
Not my faith.
Not my family.
Not my purpose.
You came to steal it?
**NOT TODAY.**
You came to break me?
**NOT TODAY.**
You thought I was fighting alone?
Nah.
**God is with me.**
And when God says no…
**THE ANSWER IS NO.**
**NOT.
TO.
DAY.**
