One Of The Ones Who Did (Album Version)

One of the One\'s Who Did
Brian McKnight & Kirk Franklin
For every little girl and every little boy
Whose mother and father is across the waters
Fighting the war that they know nothing about
We pray for you tonight, God help us, listen
We\'re running outta time, can\'t waste it. (can\'t waste it)
Have you seen the news today
War is on the uprise, he said it was to be this way
The Lord I know that millions won\'t make it. (Yes, Lord)
This life\'s all I have to live and I\'ll gladly give it
To be one of the one\'s who did
(Thank You)
Ever since creation, we been counting down the time
From then to now and we will see, nations fighting nations
I hide the word 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 it)
Have you seen the news today? (yes, lord)
War is on the uprise, he said it was to be this way
The Lord I know that millions won\'t make it. (but I\'m so glad, Jesus)
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 my daddy don\'t go, if my momma, if my momma don\'t go
If my sister don\'t go, if my brother don\'t go
I\'m going, I\'m going with you, Lord
If my preacher don\'t go, said I\'m going
Oh~ Oh Lordy, Oh Lordy, oh, oh, oh...
I surrender all
With a made-up mind, I\'m going through, Lord~
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 which 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
you\'re worthy
Thank You
