I Can Do Bad All By Myself Page #7
I've never seen you dressed
for no church.
How do I look?
April.
April, I'm talking to you.
Today, our subject is value added.
There are three things I wanna talk
about from this subject.
Number one,
this woman was a good steward.
All right.
Because she took time
to know what she had...
...and how much of what she had.
Therefore,
because she watched it every day...
...she knew when a piece of silver
was lost.
Yeah.
Secondly, she gave value
to each piece of silver.
She did not extol one piece
over the other.
And thirdly, when she discovered
that one was lost...
to find it.
Amen.
You don't know what it is
to walk the floor worried...
...over something you've lost.
-Aunt April's here.
-All of us love...
...and somehow our love is limited...
...when someone ends up somewhere
that we don't want them to be.
But what she knew is that even though
this piece of silver was lost...
...it had not lost its value.
-Amen.
-lt had just lost its usefulness.
You cannot help anyone
when you're lost.
You cannot fulfill your mission in life
when you're lost.
You cannot help your family
or your fellow man when you're lost.
And somebody
has to care enough about you...
Yeah.
...to put a light in a very dark place...
...when you're caught
in the crevices of life...
-...and can't figure out how to get out.
-All right.
You need somebody
that's gonna care enough about you...
...that says you're worth it.
I want you to know
Oh, Lord, have mercy.
I said you're worth me waiting on.
There are some things that we face.
You've come to people...
...and it seems
as if they don't wanna know.
I understand it.
I've been there.
As a matter of fact,
let me say it like this:
I've hurt so many nights
I cried so many hours
Trying to make it right
Trying to make it right
But just didn't have the power
And you ignored all my tears
It hurt me so bad
Sing that song!
You wanted them to disappear
I tried to let it go
But I guess
You just don't wanna know
Listen.
If I had a dime for every time
I tried to call your name
Some tell me
Some tell me
I'd be wealthy
I'd be wealthy
Amen, amen.
Oh, Lord
But I learned that I could cope
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
- Yes, I did
-Yes.
Through my struggle I discovered
I discovered I could make it
In nights so long and cold
So cold
You don't know how cold
I discovered
I discovered I could take it
Now I wouldn't
I wouldn't change a thing
Lord, have mercy.
Not for the knowledge
Not for the knowledge
That I've gained
You know what I discovered
in my trials?
I really did
I tried, I tried to let, let it go
I did
I tried, tried to let it show
But I guess
-You just don't wanna know
-Just don't wanna know
-No, no, no
- Yes
Really don't wanna know
You don't wanna know
How many nights I cried
You don't know how many times
I felt like I was gonna die
But I kept on moving
I kept on hoping
I kept on believing
And now I can tell you
- That I'm over
- That I'm over it now
Anybody here.
-Say "I'm over, I'm over it now"
-Over it now
-I can't explain it
-I can't say how
-But right now, I'm over it
-But I'm over it
And the chains
They just dropped off from me
People can talk about me
-As much as they please
-Just don't wanna know
But I'm all grown up now
I said I'm all older now
And I got the victory
Because I'm over
-But I'm over it now
-I'm over it now
-Over it now
-I'm over it now
-I can't say how, but I'm over it
-Say it again, say I'm
Over it now
Just wave your hand
if you know you're over it.
If you feel the presence of God...
...if you feel the anointing of God,
just declare now...
...that I'm over it now.
Say it right now.
Over it now
It's over,
I'm walking out of here free.
Because I'm over it now
Amen.
I'm really over it now
Went to a meeting one night
And my heart wasn't right
And I'm over it now
Just don't wanna know
Wilma. Wilma, would you just...?
People don't know
you've been through some things.
They think because
you're looking so pretty in your hat...
...they don't know
what you've been through.
But could you say one good time,
"I'm over it now"?
I'm over it now
Over it now, I can't say how
But I'm over it now
Right now, right now, right now
-I'm over it now
-I'm over it now
-I'm over it now
-I don't have to live with it
Don't have to live with it
-Don't have to be in it
-Don't have to be in it
I'm over it, over it now
Over it now, I can't say how
But I'm over it now
-Now
-Right now
-Now, now, now
-Right now
-Now, now, now
-Now, now, now
I'm over it now
I tried
To let it go
I really did
I tried to let it show
Thank you, Jesus
But right now
But I guess
You just don't wanna know
Hallelujah.
You're worth it.
Give him praise
because he's worthy.
His purpose is real.
You're gonna make it.
You'll be all right.
You don't have to worry at all.
You're over it now.
You're over it now.
Hold on. I'll be right back.
How you doing, beautiful?
I've seen the way
you've been looking at me.
See, this here my house...
...and I can let you
and two little nappy boys stay here.
Right.
I'll get you
all the medicine you need.
I need to give him his insulin.
Now, see, what you need to do
is take care of me.
If you don't stop right now,
I'm gonna tell April.
You think
You think she's gonna believe you?
Take it off.
I said--
What are you doing? Get off of him!
Stop it! Stop it!
What are you doing to him?
-What is going on here?
-It's okay.
It's okay. Come on.
He tried to rape her.
They lying on me, right--
They lying on me.
No, no, no. This little slut--
You know she's a slut. She tried to
get me to have sex for money.
Baby-- Sandino, you saw her!
-Tell her what you saw.
-He tried to rape her!
Who you gonna believe, huh?
April, who you gonna believe, huh?
Them or me?
-He's lying, he's--
-He's lying, April, he's lying.
Who you gonna believe?
Them or me, babe?
You, baby.
-He's lying.
-April.
Go upstairs and get in the tub.
-I can't believe you believe him.
-It's okay, it's okay.
-It's okay.
-He's lying!
He's lying, April.
It's okay, it's okay.
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
Look at me, look at me.
Look at me. It's okay, it's okay.
It's okay, it's okay.
Hey, no one's going to hurt you.
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
It's gonna be okay, all right?
It's okay.
Okay, no one's going to hurt you.
Nobody here will hurt you.
-Nobody's going to hurt you.
-No.
It's okay, Jenny.
Baby, I think I broke my nose.
Oh, baby, thank you.
You know I love you, right?
Baby, I'm just trying to provide
the best life for you I can.
-What happened?
-Baby, I told you what happened.
That little girl tried to get me
to have sex with her for money.
