"In His Own Time" is track 2 of James Julius' "Made New" Album.  In the darkest of times it may seem like giving up is the only choice.  It may seem like God has forgotten you and doesn't plan on coming through to renew your spirit.  Know that God is there.

Listen to these testimonies of how God's perfect timing is trustworthy.  He always provides, it just may not be at the time or in the way you think is best.  Let's put our trust in Him even when situations look bleak. "But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.  They will soar high on wings like eagles.  They will run and not grow weary.  They will walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31

Lyrics:

(Intro - James Julius)
Father God,
It just feel like,
Sometimes I be prayin' to ya,
But my prayers go unanswered,
But I know,
Ya, you provide,
Ya, in your own time, (x2)

(Verse 1 - James Julius)
Lord I'm sorry sometimes,
If I feel so faithless,
But right now it's kinda hard to keep a smile on my face when,
Everybody's droppin',
Got me sayin' my grace,
And I wait for you Father,
But please give me the patience,
Like my uncle Butchy,
Ya mayne, we lost him,
Somebody comfort my daddy when they start closin' the coffin,
I lift my voice to you often,
Knowin' this life can be scary,
But party when I'm dead and buried,
All the way to the cemetery,
Now my daddy in rehab,
No longer a fiend that,
Be fiendin' for that poison,
Please don't let him go relapse,
And my mamma's sick,
Her treatment's just makin' her sicker,
I hear the voice in my head say,
"Numb the pain with the liquor",
But then I open my scriptures,
Read how your picture was bigger,
And how your grace could fall on me,
Ya, the biggest of sinners,
Forgive the sin in me, Yup,
And get rid of the enemy,
Penitentiary tendencies broken down by the trinity.

(Chorus - James Julius)
When it rains, It rains,
And when it pours, It pours, 
And when He closes one up,
I know He opens more doors,
They say the grass is always greener on the other side,
Don't worry,
He'll provide in His own time.
(X2)

(Verse 2 - M.I.C.)
I'm always judging people,
Can't get away from my struggle,
I hear my call to feed 'em,
But I won't even be humble,
Enough to offer freedom,
So that's the way that I crumble,
I put my face in the rubble,
Like a disgrace to my mother,
I say I'm unashamed,
But I be packin' so much shame that I'm back,
And spittin' raps on these tracks to slow my pain,
I be praying every single day,
"Father I'm stained!",
But I grow faker every time I say I'm trustin',
I ain't,
I am so frivolous, (frivolous)
With my sin it's ridiculous,
Yo, I been in this predicament since I was an infant,
And my nemesis, (nemesis)
Is my desire for menace,
I beg you Lord to end this,
On my knees in repentance,
I hear my heart beat, (heart beat)
And I'm able to relax,
The fact is that the master has the hour glass,
On these dark streets, (dark streets)
And I'm grateful that I last,
The past has traveled fast to pass,
That's where Im at.

(Chorus - James Julius) Christian Rap

(Verse 3 - M.K.J.)
Here in my city,
It ain't pretty,
Always lookin' like, "Who gon' get me?",
Hard out here just tryin' to make it,
But it's sin they do,
With all to take take it,
All in my face they fakin',
Lord, provide a way,
You say it's hard for you?
Man it's hard for M.K.J.,
But I know this acronym,
It's what keeps me grounded,
My King Jesus,
In Him I'm founded,
This world dryin' up but I'm drinkin' from the fountain,
But I'm still thirsty and still need a way out and,
Seein' my people dying,
Seein' my people hurting,
Seein' my people leave the faith,
It really hurts me,
One thing we have to realize,
Jesus went through more pain then we'll ever go through,
So why even complain,
My Jesus made a way,
In Him, we are saved,
In Him, we have peace,
In Him, we here today,
So worry not my people,
I been through it to,
But in His timing which is always right,
He will see you through,
10:15.

(Chorus - James Julius)
