Intro
Dear Lord, I come before you to give thanks. For what you've brought me through, and what you've delivered me from. I know this road was built for me to get closer to you. I got lost for such a long time. But, through your grace, I have found my divine purpose..Amen
1st Verse
Roll around inside the slop we call the world's lies
Gettin lost to pay the cost when it ain't worth the time
The devil had my heart, the power gave me sickly chills
Speaking out of hatred everytime I let the lyrics spill
It felt impossible to get away and feel concern
cus' everywhere I turned he stood with open arms to start the burn
I'm sorry Lord I didn't recognize the way I was
cus' when you're in that life all your thinking about is smoking bud
I'm trying to speak to you, releasing all the pain and strife
what I failed to notice, you know everything about my life
and even at the age of 8 to be in foster care
crying for submission to listen and God I know you cared
heard every word and said there's no reason to live in fear
cus' even when the masses abandon you Rob I'll still be here
I'll still be fighting for you every second, every minute,
every day, every verse, every word, every sentence
Chorus
(Hallelujah) Father here I stand
(Hallelujah) A repented man
(Hallelujah) To the Lord above
Saved me from myself so he could open up my heart with love
(Hallelujah) is all that I can say
(Hallelujah) we have to give him praise
(Hallelujah) For the price he payed
So you and I and him and her can see another day
2nd Verse
I remember Sunday mornings when I used to sleep
Instead of waking up to feel the love in every way you speak
See I was weak to the point that mountaintops couldn't be reached
Thought about not having my daughter and just began to weep
"Not what I need", I said instead of sticking by your side
I chose to be a cocky individual indulged with pride
But pride steals us, and time will soon kill us all
At least I know I'll be in Heaven when you makes the call!
If you know you're wrong, listen to the words of Paul
Went from killing Christians to following God by what he saw (Saul)
We all fall to the victim of temptation
I took that ride before but now I'm moving transit stations
See the truth is layed before us, all we have to do is listen
Nobody is perfect, I learned it, forget it
I beat myself up for 7 years I'll admit it
But now I feel free, Praise God, He is risen!
Chorus
(Hallelujah) Father here I stand
(Hallelujah) A repented man
(Hallelujah) To the Lord above
Saved me from myself so he could open up my heart with love
(Hallelujah) is all that I can say
(Hallelujah) we have to give him praise
(Hallelujah) For the price he payed
So you and I and him and her can see another day
3rd Verse
I used to rap about the things that really didn't matter
Never satisfied despite the money I was chasin after
Was too impatient everyday I waited for the call
Hated every moment see atonement writings on the wall
Began to disregard the people that had showed me love
Buried my emotions to a place I would't dare to touch
To open up exposing weaknesses was not aloud
cus' if you wernt the strongest in the game you wouldn't draw a crowd
I'm tired of losing, tired of proving, tired of showing off
Needed help to find myself before I chose to lose it all
My is precious God I thank you but I feel ashamed
Traveled down a road so far away from you it's called the fame
Change my heart, change my mind, and get inside my brain
help me use my gift to preach to everyone that feels the same
and let em' know the sun will always come after the rain
just give your life to Christ and he'll show you a better way
Chorus
(Hallelujah) Father here I stand
(Hallelujah) A repented man
(Hallelujah) To the Lord above
Saved me from myself so he could open up my heart with love
(Hallelujah) is all that I can say
(Hallelujah) we have to give him praise
(Hallelujah) For the price he payed
So you and I and him and her can see another day
