| The unconditional, critical mission, listen to
|
| The indivisible, mystical, it was meant for you
|
| And meant for me, infinitely
|
| Even been to prisons to visit you
|
| Ask, «What would Christians do?»
|
| Well some are harassing Native Americans
|
| If God is love, why is hate in the air again?
|
| Search for Samaritans in the hood, misunderstood
|
| A savior comes, will he only come for the good?
|
| The lost tribe of Shabazz and the second class
|
| God, I see you in the streets where the checks is cashed
|
| Hear you in the heartbeat, hopin' that love’ll last
|
| I know you in the words, «Where the first is last»
|
| They try to use math to quantify you
|
| In 2005, you saved lives by the Bayou
|
| I know you in the mouth of the spouse singing, «I do»
|
| The most vital is how I describe you
|
| Even when the hard times come
|
| I’ll be standing in your love
|
| Grateful, grateful for this life
|
| You turned on the light (Hey, hey)
|
| Even when the hard times come
|
| I’ll be standing in your love
|
| Grateful, grateful for this life
|
| You turned on the light
|
| We were Buffalo Soldiers, dreadlocked Rastas
|
| Praying to Jehovah, Rafa, in the back of cop cars
|
| Even then we knew that love was not far
|
| It’s in the passion of the teachers and the rockstars
|
| The muslim sisters singing «allāhu akbar»
|
| It’s coming from where Maya and Pop are
|
| It’s in the grandchild’s stare up at Papa
|
| «Love is love» became the mantra
|
| The montage for creation, we need it in relation
|
| When two ships pass, one love is the flotation
|
| It’s what God used to put the planet in rotation
|
| It’s what the culture used to build a hip hop nation
|
| From the basement to the attic, where cookie show for magic
|
| It’s what we told the world when we said our lives matter
|
| Turn the student to a master, hustler to a pastor
|
| That’s why I’m a rapper, it’s all that I’m after
|
| Even when the hard times come
|
| Yeah I know that
|
| I’ll be standing in your love (Yeah)
|
| Oh, that’s why I am
|
| Grateful, (So) grateful for this life
|
| You turned on the light (Hey, hey)
|
| God your love has taught me that
|
| Even when the hard times come
|
| Oh, I know that I’ll
|
| I’ll be standing in your love (Hey, and I am)
|
| Grateful, grateful for this life (Grateful)
|
| You turned on the light
|
| You turned on the light, yes you did
|
| When it’s hard (Yeah)
|
| I know you’re right there
|
| Tell me where would I be?
|
| Placed it all
|
| Without your love
|
| At your feet
|
| Where would I be?
|
| I don’t know
|
| Without your light
|
| What tomorrow brings
|
| Tell me where would I be?
|
| Without your grace
|
| What I know is
|
| I am so grateful, I am so grateful
|
| Oh oh, oh I know (Oh-oh)
|
| Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah
|
| 'Cause you are the light
|
| Mm-mm-hmm |
