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
Walk a little slower, Daddy Walk a little slower daddy Slow down Daddy I just want to be with you. Never forget back in the day when I was young My dad was strong and I was proud to be his son He was the model of what I planned to be myself And I would jump at his side when he asked me to help We would jump in the van and ride Dad would start humming and drive Dayton’s West Side He warned me the sin of addiction Taught me the city as he pointed out the windows He showed me how to work, and put in time But he’d walk so quick that I would fall behind His legs were long, and he walked so fast I would run to catch up, I’d reach out and ask (Walk a little slower daddy) Slow down Daddy I just want to be with you. Slow down Daddy I just want to be like you. Take me by the hand show me how to be a man I just want to be like you Slow down let me hang around with ya I just want to follow you. He was nothing but a boy trying to be a man His name was Isaac, and his father Abraham His parents had been childless for many years God’s promise of his coming brought laughter and tears Abraham took Isaac every where he went Said him he was promised by God and heaven sent One day Abraham led Isaac in the wilderness, but He walked so fast Isaac could hardly keep up Said “We’re going to offer a sacrifice to God “With out a sacrificial lamb dad wont that be hard.” “God will provide Himself a sacrifice, son and with tears in his eyes Abraham walk on Chorus Jesus in the manger, meek and mild Yet he had the power of his father even as a child His father taught him to forgive and heal with ease When he was baptized called him the Son in whom I’m pleased But not everyone cared although He loved them The same ones that rejected His Father rejected Him He said, “I’m just following My father. They called Him a liar Said “I’m the way,” They asked, “Who you think You are the Messiah?” They snatched Him up and they beat Him down Gave Him a cross and made Him carry it through the town They hung Him on the cross, a world gone mad Jesus cried out when he lost sight of His dad (Walk a little slower daddy) Slow down Daddy I just want to be with you. Slow down Daddy I just want to be like you. Take me by the hand show me how to be a man I just want to be like you Slow down let me hang around with ya I just want to follow you. Well now that little boy running with his daddy is grown And ready or not I’ve got a little boy of my own When I need help raising him into a man I look to my father, Father God, and Father Abraham I try to follow their examples, because you can bet Right behind me is my son walking in my footsteps With my hand in his I’ll show him the way And I’ll slow down a little bit when I hear him say By Joseph Johnson 4-21-01
