DEFENDER'S RAP

• Born into a life of stress trapped no room to grow.
• Had to learn the hard way but now I truly know
• How poverty and problems help you learn to stay alive
• When someone out there’s looking down and wills you to survive.
•  
• Didn’t always appreciate His power and His might.
• Didn’t always recognize, He had my dreams in sight.
• His plans were always clear to Him that one day I would learn.
• What you reap is what you sow be patient wait your turn.
•  
• Have you told Him that you’re sorry for mistakes each living day?
• Do you open up your heart to Him when your life starts to stray?
• Are you conscious that you need to change and carry out His will?
• If you are, then you can rest assured He cares about you still.
•  
• I could take a lifetime to tell each twist and turn
• Of life’s unending battles from which a heart can burn.
• But somehow on my journey I let him set me right.
• Now life’s become untangled ‘cause paradise is in sight.
•  
• Born into a life of stress trapped no room to grow.
• Had to learn the hard way but now I truly know
• How poverty and problems help you learn to stay alive
• When someone out there’s looking down and wills you to survive.
•  
• Chorus
• So share with me your story. Make it plain for all to see
• That when you’re cared for from above, it’s not the end of story.
• He knows each anxious moment and helps you with your load
• So say a prayer and walk His way along the narrow road.
•  
• See a World
• Revelation 21:3,4 Psalms 37:10,11
• I can see a world without poverty or crime.
• I can see a world that’s not been ravaged by man’s time.
• Where only beauty touches the eyes no matter where you look.
• No you won’t find the plans in any man made book.
•  
• I can see a face without a wrinkle or a tear.
• I can see a child who can roam anywhere without fear.
• Where every person that I meet could be my next best friend,
• I can be sure this world will live on without end.
•  
• I know of a song that the whole wide world can sing.
• I can speak one language that can say everything,
• Where there are no border crossings and no barriers of pain,
• And everyone who is sick or frail will grow young and fit and strong again.
•  
• I can see an earth where the water’s pure and clear.
• Loving the cool breeze and warm sunlight in my hair,
• Where every drop of air I breathe gives me nothing but life,
• And every harvest’s rich enough for every man, woman and every child.
•  
• I can see God’s plans unfolding in a kingdom from above
• I know that soon He’ll bring a paradise filled with endless love?
• Remember how life began for man and I can now foresee,
• A beautiful new world that’s perfect and how life was meant to be.
•  
• So I choose to live each moment as if that day’s arrived,
• Keeping God first in my life and truth first in my mind,
• I treat each person that I meet with tender love and care,
• And very soon, if God’s wills, I’ll be there.
