Trust

Lyrics

[Sister Jones] Young Hope sits by herself Sitting down wondering where have the years gone? Storybook on the shelf But no one's reading how her life's been Time seems to pass her by Battle after battle nothing is simple And so she's asking why How she came through? While she looks to the sky Knowing she could not be alone You were right by her side Not for a minute were You gone Hope don't fall now They wanna leave But trust in who you stand Hope don't fall now They wanna leave But trust in who you stand V.1 I know your upbringing, I know your background I seen you rise up only to fall back down Against the odds you didn't back down Nah you come too far to turn back now sister It's been a long road but you made it here Through the struggle, through the stress, through the pain and tears You've been praying for years, now your change is near No more guilt, no more shame, your name has been cleared I know their words hurt you when they looked and they cursed you Now they shook cause He turned you to a woman of virtue Your purse was broke but what burns you the most Was getting tried and criticized by church folk I know your dreams suffered being a teen mother For years feeling like all you had was each other Coz your baby's dad abandoned you both You working two jobs to manage and cope You gotta stand on your hope girl [Sister Jones] Justice sits on a wall Sirens racing, streets are changing He thinks he's lost it all Friends have past, no one to call on He knows there is something else Not enough to leave, too little to hold on Desperate to find himself, who will he turn to? Against all odds he stands Knowing he could not be alone You had a perfect plan Not for a minute were You gone Just don't fall now They wanna leave But trust in who you stand Just don't fall now They wanna leave But trust in who you stand V.2 I know your upbringing, I know your background I seen you rise up only to fall back down Against the odds you didn't back down Nah you come too far to turn back now brother Remember days you was running on streets Always looking something to tief coz nothing was cheap Wearing sneaks on your feet just to run from police Chief under your sleeve in case you run into beef You was young and naive, lots to learn Underachieved in school but was not concerned Coz if worse come to worst You heard as long as cats need rocks to burn you got a lot to earn But yo everybody gets the just return Friends got shot, made you wanna stop and turn Turn a page, turn from your wordly ways Turn away from a date with an early grave V.3 Now you've heard the story of Hope and Just Glory to God, in Him we put our hope and trust He takes the most lowly and makes them focused plus Forgets past, greets with the most open arms Heals the downtrodden and soothes the broke with Psalms Everloving even when we oppose commands How many people you know will put holes in palms And feet to give your soul a chance? We had troubled upbringings and shady backgrounds But been delivered so you'll never see us back round To where He picked us from Can't retrace our steps and go back to our distant wrongs We've been made anew and He'll make you too But only you can make that major move A fresh chance awaits at the dawn of day So take heed to what the chorus say sing it Sister J... [Sister Jones] Don't throw your life away Keep looking to Him He's not too far away He'll get you through it Don't turn your eyes away Keep looking to Him He's not too far away He'll get you through it
