If it's hot then give God the glory. If it's not then blame Mitch.
I'm Joe Johnson a local United Methodist Pastor. Before I felt God calling me into the ministry I thought I was going to be a rap artist. For 8 years I did nothing with music until my wife introduced me to a group called "The Gospel Gansters" in 1998. It was an eye opening experience. I was amazed to see people using rap for the glory of God. That day I picked up paper and pen and I haven't put it down yet.

Lyrics
People This is My Job People this my job. I told you this my job I had 3 jobs at the same time for 10 years it crazy I was like a candle lit at both ends for days I was blazing My schedule was a mess. I didn’t know how I was gonna make it Until I realized that all 3 of my jobs were related People this my job. I told you this my job Job #1 worked as a deliver for the local news papers I had to deliver it every morning 350 of my neighbors I had to get up by 3 a.m. before the crack of dawn. They want it on the porch, but they lucky if I get it on the lawn I’m out so early in the morning that they think I’m a burgular No Mr. officer I’m just deliver the daily circular Sometimes I felt like it was just a bad waste of trees Working for a company that says If it bleeds it leads But People this my job. I told you this my job Read about it, I hope don’t doubt it Good news bad news I’m gonna shout it People this my job. I told you this my job I’m tryina bless ya, But I confess ya’ll If it’s bad news I hope you don’t shot the messenger People this my job. I told you this my job. Job #2 Chaplain for the sheriff’s department And I make death notifications to the family of the dearly departed. I start by asking them if they’d please sit down They refuse and after I tell them I have to pick them off the ground First they’re mad at me, then they’re upset with God, And they are asking me expecting me to have the answers to the questions that are hard Every time I went to knock on a door I’ld pause and say a prayer Because I knew I was about to give them worst news they’ll ever hear But People this my job. I told you this my job Read about about it, I hope don’t doubt it Good news bad news I’m gonna shout it People this my job. I told you this my job This is my job. I told you this my job I’m tryna bless ya, But I confess ya’ll If it’s bad news I hope you don’t shot the messenger People this my job. I told you this my job. Job #3 I’m a pastor at the local congregation I lead the people in time of joy in time of tribulation Every week I preach the gospel of Jesus name And that’s when I realized that my 3 jobs were the same. Job #1 I spread the bad news of the sin and strife Job #2 I spread the sad news that there’s an end to our life Job #3 I spread the good news that sin and death are overcome Because Jesus died on the cross and the victory was won. Baby this my job. I told you this my job. Read about about it, I hope don’t doubt it Good news bad news I’m gonna shout it people this my job. I told you this my job This is my job. I told you this my job I’m tyin to bless ya, But I confess ya’ll If it’s bad news I hope you don’t shot the messenger People this my job. I told you this my job. Now instead of 3 jobs I have just the one Telling people the God news of God’s son I love my job and I hope I don’t sound spoiled The pay aint great but the retirement plan is out of this world People This my job, I told you this my job. Read about about it, I hope don’t doubt it Good news bad news I’m gonna shout it People this my job. I told you this my job This is my job. I told you this my job hope to bless ya, But I confess ya’ll If it’s bad news I hope you don’t shot the messenger People this my job. I told you this my job.
