Ready To Meet Him (Explicit)

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 lovin' my wife til 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 wit 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 somethin' better after here and 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 'em like children that I see everyday
And I pray no we pray together
To get us through the bad weather and we 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 you've chosen
Yes
I'm ready to meet him cause where I'm livin' ain't right
Black hate white white hate black it's right back to the same fight
They got us suspectin' 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 comin' at me just missin'
Sometimes I think all you do with me is just listen
I thought that I was special that's what you told me
Homey stop actin' like you don't know me
What'd 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 is 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 cause where I'm livin' ain't right
Black hate white white hate black it's right back to the same fight
They got us suspectin' a war
But the real war is to follow the law of the Lord
I'm ready to meet him cause where I'm livin' ain't right
Black hate white white hate black it's right back to the same fight
They got us suspectin' 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
You see I left home a boy but returned as a man
Full grown and I'm still not able to stand
I gave you a hand
Well but I was lookin' the wrong way
Figured out the plan then I started to pray
And that prayer took me from here over there
Back to over here now it 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 shalt not steal
But what if he stole from me
Thou shalt not kill
But what if he's tryin' to kill me
Thou shalt not take my name in vain
No matter how hard it rains withstand the pain
I'm ready to meet him cause where I'm livin' ain't right
Black hate white white hate black it's right back to the same fight
They got us suspectin' a war
But the real war is to follow the law of the Lord
I'm ready to meet him cause where I'm livin' ain't right
Black hate white white hate black it's right back to the same fight
They got us suspectin' a war
But the real war is to follow the law of the Lord
I'm ready to meet him our father who art in heaven
I'm not ashamed to ask for guidance at twenty seven
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 musta been a fool to ever doubt you
I'm ready to meet him cause where I'm livin' ain't right
Black hate white white hate black it's right back to the same fight
They got us suspectin' a war
But the real war is to follow the law of the Lord
I'm ready to meet him cause where I'm livin' ain't right
Black hate white white hate black it's right back to the same fight
They got us suspectin' 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
