A Minute For Your Son Lyrics

You got a minute for yo' son Father, I need to talk
I'm so tired of tryin to run Father, let's take a walk
I'm so sorry for what I done Father, it ain't my fault
But the devil's been on my back lately, he's like a hawk

You never give us more than we can handle, but it's gettin' hard
And I'm a strong individual, but I need you God
Lot of things that I used to, I don't wanna
Run the streets like I used to, I know I'm gonna

Speak the word for you one day, up in there like
"Hallelujah!" on Sunday, I thank you Lord
For the blessings that you gave me, and for my life
With the blessings you have saved me, and for my wife

You have carried me enough times, and that's the truth
Married me to rough times, throughout my youth
And through it all I saw that you was still with me
I was that one lost sheep, and you was comin' to get me

Lord you got me like, your love got me like
Lord you got me like, your love got me like
Lord you got me like, your love got me like
Lord you got me like, your love got me like

I look at life a little different now, since you hugged me
And I always loved my peoples, but now they love me
Thank you for the love Lord, we praise you
Jacob's descendants, from Africa to Asia

Pleadin' the blood of Christ over our life, wrong or right
Just help us make it through the night
And we'll shout yo' name in times of need
And times of joy, and when we bleed

And, when we are overcome with greed
You ain't gon' half to tell me twice, I'ma take heed
And because of what you've given me, I know you'll deliver me
And I won't drown no matter how deep the river be

You are the strength I, never knew I had
Kept the heart good when they, told me it was bad
All praises due to ya, That's why I had
To dedicate somethin' new to ya, thank you Father

Lord you got me like, your love got me like
Lord you got me like, your love got me like
Lord you got me like, your love got me like
Lord (Uhh) you got me like, your love got me like

I never knew a love like, this before
Messin' with the thug life I, missed it all
You opened the doors and, let me in
I'm down for the cause so, let's begin

Prayers that you give to me I, give to them
Same way you live in me I, live in them
Life is a blessing now, you got me
Smilin' from inside of my heart, when inside it was dark

And it doesn't rain anymore, only sunshine
No pain anymore, I really love mine
You washed away the tears with the fears
I'm happier than I've ever been in my life, the whole thirty years

You know that, one day I'll speak the word
You know that, when I do I will be heard
You know that, you gave me a permanent smile
And you know this Father because, I'm yo' child (What)

Lord you got me like, your love got me like
Lord you got me like, your love got me like
Lord you got me like, your love got me like
Lord you got me like, your love got me like

Lord you got me like, your love got me like
Lord you got me like, your love got me like
Lord you got me like, your love got me like
Lord you got me like, your love got me like
