0:00The unconditional critical mission listen to
0:03The indivisible mystical it was meant for you
0:06And meant for me infinitely
0:08Even been to prisons to visit you
0:10Ask what would christians do
0:12Well some are harassing native americans
0:14If God is love why is hate in the air again
0:17Search for samaritans in the hood misunderstood
0:20A savior comes will he only come for the good
0:23The lost tribe of shabazz and the second class
0:26God I see you in the streets where the checks is cashed
0:29Hear you in the heartbeat hopin' that love'll last
0:32I know you in the words
0:33Where the first is last
0:35They try to use math to quantify you
0:37In 2005 you saved lives by the bayou
0:40I know you in the mouth of the spouse singing I do
0:43The most vital is how I describe you
0:47Even when the hard times come
0:52I'll be standing in your love
0:58Grateful grateful for this life
1:04You turned on the light hey hey
1:10Even when the hard times come
1:15I'll be standing in your love
1:21Grateful grateful for this life
1:27You turned on the light
1:31We were buffalo soldiers dreadlocked rastas
1:34Praying to jehovah rafa in the back of cop cars
1:37Even then we knew that love was not far
1:40It's in the passion of the teachers and the rockstars
1:43The muslim sisters singing allahu akbar
1:46It's coming from where maya and pop are
1:49It's in the grandchild's stare up at papa
1:52Love is love became the mantra
1:53The montage for creation we need it in relation
1:57When two ships pass one love is the flotation
2:00It's what god used to put the planet in rotation
2:03It's what the culture used to build a hip hop nation
2:05From the basement to the attic where cookie show for magic
2:08It's what we told the world when we said our lives matter
2:11Turn the student to a master hustler to a pastor
2:14That's why I'm a rapper it's all that I'm after
2:18Even when the hard times come
2:22Yeah I know that
2:24I'll be standing in your love yeah
2:28Oh that's why I am
2:30Grateful so grateful for this life
2:35You turned on the light hey hey
2:39God your love has taught me that
2:41Even when the hard times come
2:45Oh I know that I'll
2:47I'll be standing in your love hey and I am
2:52Grateful grateful grateful for this life
2:58You turned on the light
3:00You turned on the light yes you did
3:04When it's hard yeah
3:06I know you're right there
3:08Tell me where would I be
3:09Placed it all
3:10Without your love
3:12At your feet
3:14Where would I be
3:15I don't know
3:17Without your light
3:18What tomorrow brings
3:19Tell me where would I be
3:22Without your grace
3:24What I know is
3:25I am so grateful I am so grateful
3:29Oh oh oh I know oh oh
3:36Ooh ooh yeah yeah
3:44'Cause you are the light
3:45Mmm hmm
