Besedila: Kirk Franklin. Wake Up.

[LEAD:]
Heavenly Father, its me once again. your humble servant in your presence, with this fire burning deep down within.

I begin, by recognizing your power and also your grace, and how your children become one when we come before your glorious face.

When you look down from your throne I wonder what is it exactly that you see that keeps someone like you so patient with someone like me

I'm free!!, Not because of some self-rightous attempt on my part but, because of your unconditional love that you gave straight from your heart, Let's start:

[CHORUS:]
All that I have I give to you, all that I am is because of you, If you were to leave us what would we do? WE NEED YOU RIGHT NOW!

Just like the forest needs the rain, just like there's no joy without some pain; And Lord we know you will never change,
WE NEED YOU RIGHT NOW.

[LEAD:]
God when you created us I know you probably never dreamed of all the blood shed and hunger through the years your eyes have seen;

Brothers killing brothers and men being haters of one another,

It's hard to be a leader when the money has become your lover- I've discovered.

Its hard to praise you when we also praise wealth and fame, we thank you for the Grammy, but in our music GOD we curse your name!

No shame in our game when we bring up all the pain.

But isn't it just like GOD y'all to love us just the same; ain't nothing changed.

[CHORUS:]
All that I have I give to you, all that I am is because of you, If you were to leave us what would we do? WE NEED YOU RIGHT NOW!

Just like the forest needs the rain, just like there's no joy without some pain; And Lord we know you will never change,
WE NEED YOU RIGHT NOW.

[LEAD:]
Who can blame GOD for wanting his people to make a decision that's why we gotta teach folk relationship and get rid of all of this religion.

With precision I teach, with his anointing I preach! I have no time to chase paper too many souls I gotta reach!
THERE'S A BREACH IN THE LINE!

GOD'S people we gotta get it right this time! For theses babies coming up we have to try and save their minds!

And whoever has the microphone, remember the blood is on your hands! You'll be judged by your life not your sales on Soundscan!

No Bentleys-No Platinum- No 20's to Crysp!! When you take your last breath tell me what you gon' miss??

When you stand at the throne and you're facing the SON! Will he say LEAVE ME NOW!! Or will he say WELL DONE!!

And when I've grown old Lord, tell what shall I do? When this world has grown cold and has forgotten about you! - When love and sex are no longer a pair and AIDS has destroyed all the ones that don't care!

When divorce is the norm and family has died when white and black folk can no longer survive! When the internet is a persons best bet to find a good relationship; but they ain't happy yet!

When the sound of the music it ceases to inspire; and just Like Sister Lawrence said, ?We ain't getting' No Higher?!

When the fire has gone and the beauty has passed, Only what we've done for,you FATHER, will LAST!!!

[CHORUS:]
All that I have I give to you, all that I am is because of you, If you were to leave us what would we do? WE NEED YOU RIGHT NOW!

Just like the forest needs the rain, just like there's no joy without some pain;

And Lord we know you will never change, WE NEED YOU RIGHT NOW.


[LEAD:]
My People we gotta get it together!! We gotta go back to where we started from

[CHORUS:]
WE NEED YOU RIGHT NOW

[LEAD:]
GOD Didn't leave us, We left him! He gave his perfect sacrifice

[CHORUS:]
WE NEED YOU RIGHT NOW

[LEAD:]
For any man that believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life!!
Thank you Jesus
