one of the one's who did

Singer:mcknight, brian

for every little girl and every little boy

whose mother and father is across the waters

fighting the war they know nothing about

we pray for you tonight

god help us

listen. we're running outta time

can't waste it. have you seen the news today?

war is on the uprise

who said it was to be this way?

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 one's who did. ever since creation

we've been counting down the time

from then and we will see

nations fighting nations. i hide the world inside my heart

then i read about

man 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 outta time

can't waste it. have you seen the news today?

war is on the uprise

who said it was to be this way?

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 one's who did. i'm gonna hang on to you lord

i'm gonna stay strong for you lord

yeah

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 follow that way

lord. oh lord

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

hey

i'm gonna follow you lord

i'm gonna follow you lord. if i let it all go

if my momma don't go

if my sista don't go

if my brotha don't go

i'm going

i'm going through

lord. if my preacher don't go

said i'm going. oh lordy

oh lordy

oh lordy

i surrender all. with a made-up mind

i'm going through

care

so father we pray right now

that you hear our cries

for peace

for restoration. give us hope right now

without you we can't make it. we tried and we're sorry

but we look to the hills

from it cometh our help

cause we know our help comes from you

we gonna hold on

i said we're gonna hold on to you. we're not gonna let go this time father

we're gonna trust and have faith

the size of a mustard seed. bless your name father

you're worthy. thank you
