One
Of The One's Who Did
Brian McKnight feat. Kirk Franklin
SPOKEN:
For every little girl and every little boy
Whose mother and father is across the waters
Fighting the war that they know nothing about
We pray for you tonight
God help us
Listen...
We're runnin' out of time can't waste it (Can't waste it)
Have you seen the news today
War is on the up rise
He said it was to be this way
Lord I know that millions won't make it (Yes Lord)
This life's all I have to live
And I'll gladly give it
To be one of the one's who did (Thank you)
Ever since creation
We've been countin' down the time from then to now
And we would see
Nations fighting nations
I hide the world inside my heart
Then I read about
Men inventing weapons of mass destruction to tear us all apart
But like the rising of the sun
We're waiting for you to come and take us away
Those of us who believe in you, believe me when I say
We're runnin' out of time can't waste it (Have you seen it)
Have you seen the news today (Yes Lord)
War is on the up rise
He said it was to be this way
Lord I know that millions won't make it (But I'm so glad Jesus)
This life's all I have to live
And I'll gladly give it
To be one of the one's who did
I'm gonna hang on to your Lord
I'm gonna stay strong for you Lord-ay
I'm gonna keep holdin' on
Gonna keep holdin' on
To your unchanging hand
Lord you know the plan
That you have for me
It's not my will but your way
And I'm gonna follow that way Lord
Oh Lord-ay with a made up mind
I'm willing to go on through
I'm not gonna worry about what my friends might say
Or my friends might do
Hey, I'm gonna follow you Lord
I'm gonna follow you Lord
If my daddy don't go
If my mama, if my mama don't go
If my sister don't go
If my brother don't go
I'm goin', I'm goin' with you Lord
If my preacher don't go
Said I'm goin'
Oh Lord-ay
I surender all with a made up mind
I'm goin' through
SPOKEN:
So father we pray right now
That you hear our cries
For peace, for restoration
Give us hope right now
Without you we can't make it
We tried and we're sorry
But we look to the hills
From whence cometh our help
'Cause we know our help comes from you
We're gonna hold on
I said we're gonna hold on to you
We're not gonna let go this time Father
We're gonna trust and have faith
The size of a mustard seed
Bless your name Father
You're worthy
You're worthy
Thank you
Thank you
