Lyrics
(Hook): Candice Mark
Teach us tonight, because we're searching for the sun
you are the reason, though our world has come undone
don't hide away, you are the reason we are here
we need you with us, and to guide us again without fear
you are the reason, you are the reason.
(Verse 1): Flava Hype
Genesis started it, that's when I started believing
and once my faith was strong enough, then I started achieving
a level of contentment I thought was beyond conceiving
but began the moment I bowed my head and started kneeling.
The weapon I carry, I never plan on concealing.
More valuable than money but you can never steal it.
Forged with faith and belief, and prayer congealed it.
Unconditional love from above is what revealed it.
The fear factor that held us back can finally leave us.
We were lacking the faith in tactics of something we just
couldn't see visually, we need specialty lenses
that we get when You decide to spiritually cleanse us.
I could never disbelieve nor would I ever stray from that.
I'll conspire to achieve until I see your face, in fact,
I'll do what I can while on this planet. Use me as a vessel.
I'm your human amplifier, use me to increase decibels.
(Hook)
(Verse 2): C-Rog
Father Teacher, My Dad you are my king of kings, in the midst of a storm I can feel your presence for you are my peace/
You are my everything, Praise you with many names,
You the Reason I praise you my God You are my all and More/
I want more, I want more, I gotta get it/ Fiending for Your love, Like a Crack addict I'm addicted/
Your presence gets my high, I can sniff it/
But I ain't talking bout dat dope doc in the kitchen/
I'm talking bout that chief cornerstone, Yeah Christ He be that Holy Stone/
Standing on his scriptures for they won't leave me to wrong/
And I know when I am feeling alone, I got a best friend who will keep me all close to the throne/
You are the reason that I sing this song, for Christ I stay strong/
You are my best friend, I call you my home/
I was locked up in shackles, but then you came and set me free/
You are the reason that I sing this song so gracefully/.
(Hook)
(Bridge):
Looking through the eyes of love
you know the world may seem a better place,
and yet the moment that you realize
there's so much pain before your very eyes.
(Verse 3): Flava Hype
You have enough for our need but not enough for our greed.
If we're proud enough to fail, we're humble enough to succeed,
and the feeling is ecstatic, fiending for it like an addict.
I can see it in my dreams but the bigger picture is cinematic.
You never lied or deceived us, though you do not need us,
You sent your one only begotten son to earth to lead us,
ultimately teach us how to be more like you because
I don't know about the rest of the world, but when I die, I wanna live with Jesus!
