One Life To Do It

[Verse 1: DMX] Let us pray Lord Jesus, it is You who wakes me up every day and I am forever grateful for Your love, this is why I pray You let me touch so many people and it's all for the good I influence so many children, I never thought that I would And I couldn't take credit for the love they get Because it all comes from You, Lord, I'm just the one that's giving it And when it seems like the pressure gets to be too much I take time out and pray, and ask that You be my crutch Lord, I am not perfect by a long shot, I confess to You daily But I work harder every day and I hope that You hear me In my heart I mean well, but if You'll help me to grow, then what I have in my heart will begin to show And when I get going, I'm not looking back for nothing 'Cause I will know where I'm headed, 'cause I'm so tired of the suffering I stand before You a weakened version of Your reflection Begging for direction for my soul needs resurrection I don't deserve what You've given me, but You never took it from me 'Cause I am grateful, and I use it, and I do not worship money If what You want from me is to bring Your children to You My regret is only having one life to do it, instead of two [Verse 2: MC Lyte & DMX] I'm gonna stand with you, D, on that one, right here, right now, I agree We touch and agree This prayer, Father God, I ask for all Your angels, every single angel to lay hands on the world, Lord Heal us, give us strength as we face the unknown, and let the unknown trouble us none Lord God, we thank You for how You provide safety against every and all evil We thank You for allowing us to praise Your holy, holy name for our keeping Give us prayer to guide us, thank You, and forsake what is unjust and what is unbearable So many suffering, Lord God, I ask that You spare none who judge and who punish Your people Lord, we need a healing over this land Let us put our minds high above the fray, Lord God, put our vision on You and You alone Though things of this worldly existence are meant to pull us down, Lord, I pray that You lift us up Lift us high, and let our faith give way to new hope and our hope to the manifestation of what You've promised God, we put our trust in You and You alone In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit Amen, Amen, Amen Amen
