Lyrics
It was the lord
It was the lord
Oh, oh, oh
Ooh, yeah
Lord, I thank you
I don't know where I would be if it wasn't for the great Jesus
I don't know where I would be if it wasn't for the mercy of God
I don't know, know, know, know, I don't know
So many, many, many, many, many times the devil tried to take my life
Hey, oh, no
But God stepped in right in the nick of time
But God stepped in right in the nick of time
But God stepped in right in the nick of time
God stepped in right in the nick of time
God blocked it
God blocked it
God blocked it
God blocked it
Because he said, he said

Meaning & Inspiration
Nikki’s Praise - God Blocked It is a brief testimony of divine protection and timely mercy. The singer looks back on repeated threats to life and credits survival to the intervention of God. Repetition gives the central declaration the force of grateful witness: danger was real, but it did not have the final word. The opening thanks to Jesus and the mercy of God keeps the focus on dependence rather than personal strength.
The account closely reflects Psalm 118:17, where the speaker expects to live and declare the works of the Lord. It may also recall Isaiah 54:17, which says that no weapon formed against the servants of the Lord will ultimately prevail. The lyric does not explain every hardship or promise a life without danger. Instead, it celebrates rescue already experienced. Its compact structure functions as praise, turning a remembered crisis into a repeated confession that God intervened at the needed moment.
