作词 : Dean, Simmons
You got a minute for yo son father, I need to talk
Im so tired of tryin to run father, lets take a walk
Im so sorry for what I done father, it aint my fault
But 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
Lot of things that I used to, I dont wanna
Run the streets like I used to, I know Im gonna
Speak the word for you one day
Up in there like, hallelujah! on sunday

I thank you lord for the blessings that you gave me
And for my life with the blessings you have saved me
And for my wife you have carried me enough times - and thats the truth
Married me to rough times, throughout my youth
And through it all I saw that you was still with me
I was that one lost sheep and you was comin to get me
Lord you got me like.. your love got me like..

Lord you got me like.. your love got me like..
Lord you got me like.. your love got me like..
Lord you got me like.. your love got me like..
I look at life a little different now, since you hugged me
And I always loved my peoples, but now they love me
Thank you for the love lord, we praise ya
Jacobs descendants, from africa to asia
Pleadin the blood of christ over our life
Wrong or right, just help us make it through the night and well
Shout yo name in times of need
And times of joy, and, when we bleed
And, when we are overcome with greed
You aint gon half to tell me twice, ima take heed
And because of what 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 praises due to ya
Thats why I had to dedicate somethin new to ya, thank you father
Uhh..

I never knew a love like, this before
Messin with the thug life i, missed it all
You opened the doors and, let me in
Im down for the cause 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 smilin from inside of my heart, when inside it was dark
And it doesnt rain anymore
Only sunshine, no pain anymore, I really love my
You washed away the tears with the fears
Im happier than Ive ever been in my life, the whole thirty years
You know that! one day Ill speak the word
You know that! when I do I will be heard
You know that! you gave me a permanent smile
And you know this father because Im yo child, what?
