If we just give each other a chance
(Heaven I'm calling, heaven I'm calling)
We might just fall in love

Picture us (in a land)
Where there's no more (no more war)
Shaking hands with my (brother)
And respecting my my my (my sisters)
(I'm offering) a dance that heals
(A melody) you can feel
Love is the key
All it takes is you and me

If I could make the world dance (whoa if I could make them dance)
Then they would dance something like this
If I could make the world groove (whoa if I could make them groove)

Tell me why can't more hungry people overcome
When they've got the means to build bombs, yeah
We're so quick to say God Bless America
But take away In God We Trust
Tell me what the hell is wrong with us

(Heaven I'm calling, heaven I'm calling)
If we just give each other a chance then
(Heaven I'm calling, heaven I'm calling)
We might just fall in love

Picture us (in a land)
Where there's no more (no more war)
Shaking hands with my (brothers)

There is something on my mind
But sis, I don't want to waste your time

[Kelly Price:]
But I done told you time and time again
Whatever you're going through
You can come and talk to me
And I will say a prayer with you

[R. Kelly:]
But I done prayed and prayed night and day

That you're washed up and you're through
But sister's here to let you know
Boy you're gonna make it through

[R. Kelly:]
Sister, do you really believe that I can rise again

[Kelly Price:]
Yes, and not only that, Rob, God will forgive you for your sins

[R. Kelly:]
Can you tell me what to do?

[Kelly Price:]
Well first you gotta believe the truth

[R. Kelly:]
Sometimes it's hard to believe in Him

[Kelly Price:]
That's okay because he believes in you

The winds, the rain
The storm
The weapons that are formed against us (I will survive)
The trying times
The sleepless nights
Just know that faith is with us (and I believe yeah)
Through all of the hills
And valleys roamed
That we must come to (woah)
Walk side by side
Follow the light
And we'll make it through (We'll make it through yeah)

[R. Kelly:]
So, so what you're saying is believe a little more?

[Kelly Price:]
Yes, cause faith is the key that will opens up the door

[R. Kelly:]
What you're saying to me, it's hard to receive
Especially when trouble follows me

[Kelly Price:]
When we're keeping it real
Robert sometimes
Trouble can follow where you lead

[R. Kelly:]
Yes sister, I know sometimes, but I...

[Kelly Price:]
Just wait, let me make a phone call

[R. Kelly:]
To who?

[Kelly Price:]
A prayer buddy of mine
She can help you tear down your walls

[R. Kelly:]

[R. Kelly:]

[Kim Burrell:]
And keep on running

[Kelly Price:]
And down to the end

[Kim and Kelly:]
Cause your day is coming

The winds, the rain
The storm
The weapons that are formed against us
The trying times
The sleepless nights
Just know that faith is with us
Through all of the hills
And valleys roamed
That we must come to
Walk side by side
Follow the light
And we'll make it through

[Kelly Price:]
He'll give you peace
In the midst of your storm

[R. Kelly:]
Sometimes I feel like it's too late for me

[Kelly Price:]
But he'll never leave you

[Kim Burrell:]
No way

[Kelly Price:]
You just gotta hang on

[Kim Burrell:]
Hang on

[Kelly Price:]
Robert say a prayer, keep your head
God will do just what he said

[R. Kelly:]
Finally I think I get it

[Kelly Price:]
Yes, that's it
That's the spirit

The winds, the rain
The storm
The weapons that are formed against us
The trying times
The sleepless nights
Just know that faith is with us
Through all of the hills
And valleys roamed
That we must come to
Walk side by side
Follow the light
And we'll make it through
The winds, the rain
The storm
The weapons that are formed against us
The trying times
The sleepless nights
Just know that faith is with us
Through all of the hills
And valleys roamed
That we must come to
Walk side by side
Follow the light
And we'll make it through
The winds, the rain
The storm
The weapons that are formed against us
The trying times
The sleepless nights
Just know that faith is with us

I was riding in my car one day
In the express lane
Rolling on the freeway
And suddenly the phone rings
And then I reached down beside me
Then I looked on the floor
Felt on the backseat
See I was drinking (whoa)
While I was driving (whoa)
Never thinking (whoa)
About what I was doing (whoa)
I turned around (whoa)
And before I knew it (whoa)
Here comes this truck now (whoa)
The doctor said "I don't think he's going to make it"
Family said "Make the funeral arrangements"
Unplug the machine he's gone now
Then told my wife to be strong now

Then a small voice said unto me
If you promise to stop drinking
I surrendered on that day
Now for ten years I been straight

Chorus:
You saved me
You saved me
You saved me
You saved me
Gave me a second chance
You saved me
You saved me
You saved me
You saved me

Now I been sitting in this chair
Waiting on the phone to ring
Praying up to God
That someone would call me with a job opening
Cause it's been so hard for me month to month
Struggling to eat
But still there was no answer
I stopped believing in his word
And got so mad at him
And when somebody said God's good
I just laugh at him
And in the nick of time his blessings rained on me
By his grace the phone rings
A lady says "We're hiring"
That's when I knew...

Chorus (1x)

Now I was 18 out there
On the block sending drugs
With a gun at my waist
And for people I had no love
See the streets was my home
And family and friends were gone
Had no one to trust
And deep inside I was all alone
And then a deal went bad one day
And it was enough to pause me
I was shot four times
And before I knew it
I was on my knees
Blood rushing down my body
My hearts beating fast
I don't know what imam do
I don't think I'm going to last
Then I begin to flashback
On the things I done in my past
Then I heard a small voice the said to me
"I'll give you peace if you believe"
I accepted Christ that day
Halleluiah! Now I'm free!

Chorus (1x)

I was in the aisle of a grocery store
With a pain in my chest
And I'm wondering where did it come from
I got tested
And the results came back and the doctor said "I'm sorry but you got cancer"
I could not believe it So I called up my mama to calm my nerves
(mama) She got down on her knees
(mama) She said a prayer for me
(mama) She said just keep on thanking Jesus
(mama) She'll give you all you need (Thank you Jesus)
But that was Five years ago (Thank you Jesus)
I don't have that pain no more (Thank you Jesus)
Doc said "you can go home" (Thank you Jesus)
Cause all your cancer's gone

Chorus (1x)

When I was goin left
You stirred me right
Its all the way down
You lift me up all night
And though you saw my faults
You forgave me for my sins
I would call on you and you would let me in
I had nothing to loose
So I tried you
Now I'm glad I did
You are the truth

Chorus till fade

Somebody just look back over your life and
See where he brought you from
How many of you know?

Now I was in a real bad abusive relationship
Knowing that, that was no way for me to live
A young girl like me, raised up in a good family
Way too young to endure such misery
And every night I cry myself to sleep from all the pain
And the more I prayed for sunny days it seemed to rain
(He hit me) at any given time
(He hit me) no reason at all
(He hit me) so so hard
(He hit me) my God, sometimes I'd fall
Mama asked what happened to me
And I'd take up for him
She said that devil's a liar
And pray get rid of him
And now I'm going to school
Hitting those books
I'm doing fine
He's out my life
I'm not confused
Got peace of mind
Man I tell you

I was a freshman in college and uh
I had just made it on the basketball team
I had all the skills it took to make it
But on my grades I would get nothing but all D's
And the coach came to me
And had a talk with me about my career
Said if you don't get your grades up
I'm gonna have to sit you down this year
Man as tough as I was I broke down and cried
'Cause everybody knows me
Knows that basketball is my life
(Algebra) I studied hard
(Chemistry) I gave my all
(Calculus) oh my God
(English) so many flaws
Playing ball didn't look to good for me
My future, could not see
I had lost all my beliefs
And gave up on all my dreams
Then I went to church on Sunday
And the pastor began to preach
It was like he was talking to me
When he said I can do all things
In Christ that strengthens me
And for me that was enough
Now that I went from a D
All the way to an A plus
I tell you prayer changes things

Me and my wife had a few problems
We thought that nothing could solve them
Listening to family members and so called friends
Man I tell you that's just how the devil creeps in
We were separated at least for a month or two
She was wilding in the clubs
And I was out there doing wrong too
And we would walk around the house
Putting each other down
I mean right in front of the kids
We would curse each other out
Then I was in a bad accident
And almost lost my life
And guess who was there for me
My wife
Now ain't it funny how He makes a way
When we said there was no way
I'm out the hospital and back at home
Planning another wedding day, I tell you

Now all of these things were happening in one family
But that's okay, cause there's nothing God can't achieve
I don't care what the problem in your life may be
Cause who the Son sets free, is free indeed
And if you didn't know, now you should know
All you have to do is take this family life for example
Now Mom and Dad are married again
Four kids now, cause they just had twins
Little sister all grown up now
She's a lawyer, married with one child now
Two years, big brother's out of college
And man he's got his hands full
Blessed with skills, blessed with knowledge
Now he's playing for the Chicago Bulls

Looking to man trying to find hope (uh-huh)
But man will never know the depth of my struggles (oh)

To give myself a hand (wow but)
But when depending on myself (I...)
Fell time again (that's why)
And that's why I'm standing here alone (all alone)

When I wake up in the morning time and see the sun I say
Hallelujah, thank you Jesus for waking me up today
I think about his goodness and the wonderful things he's done;
Forgiving me, setting me free and casting my sins away
And soon as I was about to fall you stepped right in on time
Picked me up, and let me know you had nothing but love for me
And those lonely nights when I thought that I gonna lose my mind (my mind)
Lord, You were my company

And now I feel joy (when I think about you)
I feel strength (when I think about you)
No pain (when I think about you)
And no rain (when I think about you)
I get glad (when I think about you)
And raise my hands (when I think about you)
Shout your name (when I think about you)
(When I think about you)

And in the midst of the storm you were the shelter in my life
Even though (I was doing wrong) and even though (I fell off)
No-one can help me out, the way you helped me whenever I was in need
When trouble was chasing, I was weak (mmm) you kept your hands on me
My God you sacrifised you life that I might live for eternity
Despite my faults, you heard my cry (yes you did) and forgave my inequity
No-one can understand, the way you understand when it comes to my heart
Lord you gave me a brand new start

And now I feel joy (when I think about you)
Feel strength (when I think about you)
There is no pain (when I think about you)
No rain (when I think about you)
I get glad (when I think about you)
Raise my hands (when I think about you)
And shout your name (when I think about you) Oh Lord
(When I think about you)

Listen
Even though your doubts will come (doubts will come)
Believe he gave his only son (all of the world) to all the world
He chose to love (oh, yes he did) so how can we not (how can we not) send our
praises up

I feel joy (when I think about you)
Feel strength, yeah (when I think about you)
There's no rain (when I think about you)
No more pain (when I think about you)
I get glad, ohh (when I think about you)
Then I raise my hands (when I think about you)
Shout your name (when I think about you) oh I
(When I think about you)
I feel joy (when I think about you)
And peace (when I think about you)
Feel your presence (when I think about you)
Coming over me (when I think about you)
Then I start to fall, yeah (when I think about you)
Down to my knees (when I think about you)
And begin to pray (when I think about you) Lord help me
(When I think about you)
Then I see the light (when I think about you)
Startin' to shine right through (when I think about you)
It's a brand new day (when I think about you)
And my heart's renewed (when I think about you)
And all my fears are gone (when I think about you)
Away (when I think about you)
When my day looks cloudy (when I think about you)
It's gonna be okay (When I think about you)
Yeah-ohh-no (when I think about you)
(When I think about you)
How you gave me love (gave me love) (when I think about you)
And I gave you nothing (gave you nothing) (when I think about you)
How you woke me up (hey!) (when I think about you)
And started me on my way (started me on my way) (when I think about you)
See you did not have to do it (when I think about you)
But you did it any old way (when I think about you)
Any old, any old, any old way (when I think about you)
Yes you did, yes you did (when I think about you)
Yes you did, yes you did (when I think about you)

And it was you that were there when no one else was
And you show me a love unknown, ooh

You kept the fire burnin'
You kept hope alive
And when my soul was fallin'
You helped me to survive
And you led the way
Encouraged me to take that leap of faith

There's a dream that I dream, I never knew it would come true
There's a place I never thought that I would be (Ooh)
There is a chance (There's a chance) that I took
(That I took) that I never thought I'd take
Until you came and helped me to believe, oh...oh...

You were there when no one else was
And you showed me a love unknown

You kept the fire burnin'
And you kept hope alive
And when my soul was fallin'
You helped me to survive
And you led the way
Encouraged me to take that leap of faith (Of faith, of
faith, of faith, of faith, ooh)

Leap of faith
Oh, yeah
Oh...oh...oh...oh...

You showed me just how
{How to believe in me} In me, oh...
You moved that tree and tore that forest there for me

You kept the fire burnin' (You kept it burnin')
You kept hope alive (You kept hope alive)
And when my soul was fallin' (My soul was fallin')
You helped me to survive (Yeah, you helped me to survive)
You led the way
Encouraged me to take that leap of faith, yeah

You kept the fire burnin' (Woo)
You kept hope alive (You kept the hope alive, yeah)
And when my soul was fallin' (My soul was fallin')
You helped me to survive (But you helped me to
survive)
You led the way
Encouraging me to take

The fire {Everybody}, hope {All my life}
My soul {Someone's callin'} with you {I'll survive}
You led {Go away}, encouraged me {To take}
That leap of faith and make it over
Now I owe my thanks to you, ho...oh...

You kept the fire burnin' (Woo, hey)
You kept hope alive (You kept hope alive)
When my soul was fallin' (When my soul was fallin')
You helped me to survive (Ooh...you helped me to survive)
Oh...yes, you did
Pushing me to take that leap of faith

You kept the fire burnin'
You kept hope alive
And when my soul was fallin'
You helped me to survive
Oh...oh...oh...oh...
