Lyrics

For every little girl and every little boy whose mother and father is across
The waters fighting the war that they know nothing about, we pray for you
Tonight. god help us

We're running out of time, can't waste it
Have you seen the news today?
War is on the up rise
He said it was to be this way
But lord I know that millions won't make it
This life's all I have to live and i'll gladly give it
To be one of the ones who did

Ever since creation
We've been counting down the time from then 'til now
And we would see nations fighting nations
I hide the word inside my heart
Then I read about men inventing weapons
Of mass destruction to tear us all apart
But like the rising of the sun
We're waiting for you to come and take us away
Those of us who believe in you
Believe me when I say

We're running out of time, can't waste it
Have you seen the news today?
War is on the up rise
He said it was to be this way
But lord I know that millions won't make it
This life's all I have to live and i'll gladly give it
To be one of the ones who did

I'm gonna hang on to you lord
I'm gonna stay strong for you lord
I'm gonna keep holding on
Gonna keep holding on to your unchanging hand
Lord you know the plan that you have for me
It's not my will, but your way
And i'm gonna find that way
With a made up mind
I'm willing to go on through
I'm not gonna worry about
What my friends might say or my friends might do
I'm gonna follow you lord
I'm gonna follow you lord
If my daddy don't go
If my momma, if my momma don't go
If my sister don't go
If my brother don't go
I'm going, i'm going with you
If my preacher don't go
I said i'm going

Oh lord

I surrender all with a made up mind
I'm going through lord

So father we pray right now that you hear our cries for peace and restoration
And give us hope right now. without you we can't make it, we've tried and
We're sorry, but we look to the hills and must come with our help cuz we know
Our help comes from you and we're gon hold on, said we're gon hold on to it
We're not gonna let go this time father. we're gon trust and have faith the
Size of a mustard seed. bless your name father, you are worthy
