| Lord, we take this journey
|
| To find a promised land
|
| Lord, we take this journey
|
| To find a promised land
|
| And we believe in your power
|
| We believe in your power
|
| We believe in your power-
|
| But the end is so close
|
| So close at hand…
|
| Lord, these men are hungry-
|
| There just hasn’t been enough
|
| And the journey’s been so rough
|
| And, Lord, these men are hurting
|
| They implore me to go back
|
| As the planks beneath them crack
|
| And I know it’s my responsibility
|
| But I’m starving, too-
|
| And I hurt, I do
|
| And I’m lost…
|
| I believe in my responsibility
|
| But I need to see if the fruits will be worth the cost-
|
| So I’m begging You, Lord
|
| You gotta stop! |
| Take a look
|
| At your children who believe in this promised land
|
| Have mercy, Lord!
|
| Stop their suffering and their woe-
|
| Whoa, whoa!
|
| Stop! |
| Shine your light on these children
|
| Who have faith in your guiding hand
|
| I’m just begging, Lord
|
| ‘Cause there’s no place else to go!
|
| I am unworthy, Lord!
|
| Lord, this ship is crowded
|
| And the men are tired and worn
|
| But another baby’s born-
|
| And, Lord! |
| This ship is broken |
| And the sails are ripped and old
|
| But the winds are rough and cold
|
| And I know it’s my responsibility-
|
| When I ride the sea
|
| These men turn to me for a sign
|
| And I believe in my responsibility
|
| But I can’t be sure
|
| When it’s time for your light to shine
|
| So I’m begging you, Lord
|
| To make it stop!
|
| Take a look at your children
|
| Who believe in this promised land
|
| Have mercy, Lord
|
| Give a sign to let us know
|
| Whoa, whoa!
|
| Stop, shine your light on these children
|
| Who have faith in your guiding hand
|
| I’m just begging, Lord
|
| ‘Cause there’s no place else to go
|
| Lord, save this child
|
| I am not strong enough
|
| I am not strong enough
|
| Lord, save my soul-
|
| I am unworthy!
|
| Lord, take my hand
|
| I am not strong enough
|
| I am not strong enough
|
| Lord, take my heart-
|
| I am unworthy!
|
| Lord, give me hope
|
| I am not strong enough
|
| I am not strong enough
|
| Lord, give me life-
|
| I am unworthy!
|
| I am unworthy!
|
| Lord!!!
|
| Stop! |
| Take a look at the children
|
| At the children who believe
|
| In this promised land!
|
| You gotta have mercy, Lord!
|
| Have mercy, Lord! |
| Give us strength so that we can grow!
|
| Stop! |
| Shine your light
|
| On these children who have
|
| Faith in divine command!
|
| I’m just beggin', Lord
|
| I’m just beggin' you, Lord
|
| I know I am unworthy
|
| But there’s no place else to go…
|
| A new world calls across the ocean
|
| A new world calls across the ocean
|
| A new world
|
| Calls across the sky |
