Analysis of Ask Yourself



Where would I be                                                                                                                                   If I didn’t believe on the name Jesus                         If I didn’t ask him to come live inside of me              If it wasn’t for that sacrifice                                 He gave his life                                                        If he didn’t pray for me to make a way for me   Man !!! the stripes he took for me                         Where would I be                                                      If I didn’t have his blood to cover me                  His light inside me                                                   His love to guide me                                         Where would I be                                                    If my past wasn’t behind me                                   Sleep without a sound                                             My future in front of me                                          A plight with a new life                                            Destiny that’s meant for me                                         Where would I be                                                     If the voice he gave me didn’t propel                 With words of wisdom                                          Words that could unlock doors to prisons          Words that could change the heart of a soul    Words that could lead someone to the wholeness of the Lord.                                        Words that help bring people straight         out of darkness                                                       Words that talk about the one we call holy        The one who’s blood that covers me                      The one who’s light that shines over me               The same one who lives inside of me “Yeah”     The one who guides me “Jesus”                             WHERE WOULD I BE WITHOUT YOU LORD ! Now ask Yourself                                                      WHERE WOULD YOU BE
