Tekst piosenki
You got a minute for your son, Father?
I need to talk Im so tired of trying to run, Father
Lets take a walk Im so sorry for whut Ive done, Father
It aint my fault The devils been on my back lately Hes like a hawk
You never give us more than we can handle But its gettin hard
And Im a strong individual But i need you, God
A lot of things that I used to I dont wanna
Runnin tha streets like i used ta
I know im gonna speak the word for you one day
Up in the light -- Halleluiah!! -- on Sunday
I thank you Lord for the blessings that you gave me
And for my life the blessings taht you have saved me
and for my wife
you have carried me nuff times and thats the truth
carried me through the rough times throughout my youth
and through it that i saw you was still wit me
i was that one lost sheep and you was comin to get me
[chorus]
lord, you got me like..... your luv got me like....
lord, you got me like.... your luv got me like....
lord, you got me like.... your luv got me like....
lord, you got me like.... your luv GOT ME LIKE....
im lookin at life a lil different now since you hugged me
and i always luved my people but now they luv me
thank you for the luv, Lord, we praise ya
Jacob, ascendents, from africa to asia
bleeding the blood of Christ over our life
Wrong or right just help us make it through the night
And well shout your name in times of need
and times of joy and when we bleed
and when we are overcome with grief
you dont have to tell me twice; ima take heed
and because of whut youve given me, i know youll deliver me
and i wont drown no matter how deep the river be
you are the strength i never knew i had
kept the heart good when they told me it was bad,
all praise is due to ya, that's why I had to dedicate somethin new to ya,
thank you Father
[chorus]
Uhhh i never knew a luv like this before
messin with the Thug Life, i missed it all
open up the doors and let me in
im done wit the cards so lets begin
prayers that you give to me, i give to them
same way you live in me i live in them
life is a blessing now you got me smiling
from inside of my heart when inside it was dark
and it doesnt rain any more only sunshine
no pain anymore.... i really luv mine
you wash away the tears with the fears
im happier than ive ever been in my life, in thirty years
you know that
one day ill speak the word
you know that!
when i do, i will be hear
you know that!
you have me a permanenet smile
and you know this, Father, cuz im ur child!!
