Talking

Let us pray

I thank you Lord for my birth, and everything that's followed

I thank you Lord for today, and I will pray for tomorrow

I thank you Lord for the love of my life, and a friend

I made a promise and I'm loving my wife to the end

I thank you Lord for your guidance, cause it's all that counts

And right here, right now, Lord, this is your house

I thank you Lord for a dream that came true to light

And I ask you to bless everybody, in this room tonight

I don't always do the right thing, and I ask you to forgive me

'Cause I need you here with me, without You in my life it's empty

I think back how some people did me like, violence was the remedy

And because I think of that now, I pray for my enemy

Not because of what I'll do, but because they don't know

There's something better after here, but everybody, won't go

So I ask you to forgive them, and we'll hope they see

And I thank you for the love that, they've given to me

I will not abuse it, nor will I lead them astray

You see I love them like children, that I see everyday

And I pray, no we pray, together

Get us through the bad weather, and we'll love you forever

Let your thought and my heart, go hand in hand

I first thought, but to start, but I stand a man

And for as long as I can, as long as you permit me

Please give me, the strength I need to live, bear with me

Amen

 

We each walk the path, that we've chosen

 

Singing

I'm ready to meet him

We're I'm living ain't right

Black hate white

White hate black

It's right back

To the same fight

They got us suspecting a war

But the real war is to follow the law of the lord

 

Lord, you left me stranded

And I don't know why

Told me to live my life

Now I'm ready to die

Ready to fly

I cry, but I shed no tears

You told me you would dead those fears, it's been years

Snakes still coming at me

Just missing

Sometimes I think all you doing me is just listen

I thought that I was special

That's what you told me

Hold me

Stop acting like you don't know me

What I do so bad that it sent you away from me

Not only sent you away, but made you stay away from me

(My child I'm here, as I've always been, it was you who went away

And now are back again, what did I say)

Follow your word, and be true

(What did you do)

Well, what I wanted to do

(What have you seen)

Darkness and hell at a glance

(What do you want)

All I want is another chance

 

I'm ready to meet him

We're I'm living ain't right

Black hate white

White hate black

It's right back

To the same fight

They got us suspecting a war

But the real war is to follow the law of the Lord

 

I'm ready to meet him

We're I'm living ain't right

Black hate white

White hate black

It's right back

To the same fight

They got us suspecting a war

But the real war is to follow the law of the Lord

 

(Just because you went away, my doors are not locked, wanna come back home,

All you gotta do is knock)

Ya see, I left home a boy, I returned as a man

Full grown, and I'm still not able to stand

(I gave you a hand)

Well...but I was looking the wrong way

Figured out the plan, then I started to pray

And that prayer, took me from here to over there

Back to over here,

Now they got me like where?

Do I belong?

Do I fit in?

Things on my mind, where do I begin?

It's easier to sin, but it hurts my heart

I'm really tryin' to win, so where do we start?

(Thou shall not steal)

But, what if he stole from me?

(Thou shall not kill)

But what if he's tryin' to kill me?

(Thou shall not, take my, name in vain, no matter how hard it rains,

Withstand the pain)

 

I'm ready to meet him

We're I'm living ain't right

Black hate white

White hate black

It's right back

To the same fight

They got us suspecting a war

But the real war is to follow the law of the Lord

 

I'm ready to meet him

We're I'm living ain't right

Black hate white

White hate black

It's right back

To the same fight

They got us suspecting a war

But the real war is to follow the law of the Lord

 

Our father, who art in heaven

I'm not ashamed to ask for guidance at 27

No longer afraid to knock on your door

Not scared anymore to lose my life in the war

After what I just saw, I'm ridin' with the Lord

Cause I really can't afford to lose my head by the sword

And now that I've seen, what I need to see

Please take me, where I need to be

(What have you learned)

It's better to tell the truth than to lie

(What have you learned)

To love my life until I die

(What have you learned)

Violence isn't always the key

(What have you learned)

You can't always believe what you see

(What have you learned)

It's better to forgive and forget

(What have you learned)

Give as you expect to get

(What have you learned)

That I can't go on without you

(What have you learned)

I must've been a fool to ever doubt you

 

I'm ready to meet him

We're I'm living ain't right

Black hate white

White hate black

It's right back

To the same fight

They got us suspecting a war

But the real war is to follow the law of the Lord

 

I'm ready to meet him

We're I'm living ain't right

Black hate white

White hate black

It's right back

To the same fight

They got us suspecting a war

But the real war is to follow the law of the Lord

 

I'm ready to meet him

I'm ready to meet him

I'm ready to meet him

I'm ready to meet him

I'm ready to meet him
