Here we are, you and I.
Coming face to face with the truth.
Lord, you know what’s on my mind.
Up until now,
I could never understand.
How you could always give to me,
all that I never can.

And at first I couldn’t believe.
But when you give this to me.
It’s like a light that gives me hope.
Your promise is my gold, Lord.

Take My Hand,
Up to the Promise Land.
Love My Soul.
It’s Yours to Hold.
And I Know that I’ll Be True.
‘Cuz Lord I Love You.
I’ll Honor and Obey.
Then Kneel to Pray,
for Those Afraid,
to Rise Above Saved.

All we know,
is what we’re told.
Growing up is awful hard.
But we can always find our hearts.
Just don’t look down,
because it all comes around.
Ask and He’ll give to you,
all that you’ve never found.

And at first if you can’t believe.
Look what He’s done for me.
He turned on the light.
Now I see what is right, Lord.

Take Our Hands,
Up to the Promise Land.
Love Our Souls.
They’re Yours to Hold.
And I Know that We’ll Be True.
‘Cuz Lord We Love You.
We’ll Honor and Obey.
Then Kneel to Pray,
for Those Afraid,
to Rise Above Saved.

Solo:

Now listen carefully,
“If You Believe You Shall Receive!”
I can testify to that.
It’s not fiction just the facts, Lord.

Please, Take Their Hands,
Up to the Promise Land.
Love Their Souls.
They’re Yours to Hold.
And I Know that They’ll Be True.
‘Cuz Lord They Believe In You.
They’ll Honor and Obey.
Then Kneel to Pray,
for Those Afraid,
to Rise Above Saved.
