My Lord
I have read this book so many times
But nowhere can I find the page
That change what I experience today
Now I know that life is meant to be hard
That's how I learn to appreciate my God
Though my courage made me try
I can tell you I won't hide
Because the footprints show you are by my side
[Chorus]
You can lie to a child with a smilin' face
Tell me that color ain't about race
You can cast the first stones, you can break my bones
But you're never gonna break
You're never gonna break my faith
Faith and hope ain't yours to give
Truth and liberty are mine to live
You can steal a crown from a king
Break an angels wings
But you're never gonna break
You're never gonna break my faith
My Lord
Won't you help them to understand
That when someone takes the life of an innocent man
Well, they never really won because all they've really done
Is set the soul free where it's supposed to be?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
For those we lose before their time
I pray their souls will find the light
I know that the day will surely come
When His will, His will, will be done
