Kirk Franklin Album

The angels bow down at the thought of You
The darkness gives way to the light for You
The price that You paid gives us life brand new
Hosanna forever we worship You
(Repeat)

For You are the joy that my soul longs for
The Lamb that was slain for my sins
and the One I adore
King of kings, Ruler of everything
Hosanna forever we worship You
(Repeat)
-Bridge-

For Your patience and kindness
And favor and mercy
And honor and glory
Because You are worthy
We can't live without You
We can't breathe without You
We cant sing without You
Hosanna hosanna

No greater love in this world but You
No one can compare to the things You do
Wherever You go I will follow You
Hosanna forever we worship You

Someday every tongue shall confess Your name
This house made of clay soon shall pass away
And whatever the test You will bring us through
Hosanna forever we worship You

-Vamp-

Hosanna forever
Hosanna forever and ever and ever
Hosanna
We praise You
Hosanna forever and ever and ever
(Repeat this verse)

Caught up to meet Him
Can't wait see Him
When He cracks the sky
Can't wait to hold Him
By His touch I will know Him
Together Jesus and I

[chorus]

The trumpet shall sound
We'll all be changed
We'll walk the streets of gold
One day I'm gonna behold my Savior's face
I'll finally be in that place
I'll finally, I'll find peace for my very soul

In a moment in a twinkling
Oh, He's gonna call my name (yes)
I'll be caught up in the twinkling of an eye (yes I will)
See, these other things they don't compare
To the joy God's got over there
We'll be together we're gonna get together.
Jesus and I (oh yeah)

[chorus]

Caught up
To see Jesus
Caught up
To see Jesus
I will be caught up
Caught up
Caught up (repeat)
Together Jesus and I
Together Jesus and I

[Daughter:] Hello
[Kirk:] Hey, it's me, Kirk, I need to speak to Bishop
[Daughter:] Sure, hold on...

[Jakes:] Hello...
[Kirk:] Hey... I got some stuff I need to talk to you about
Lately, pastor I've been...having all these crazy kind of dreams
It's hard to sleep, I can't eat...scary, you know
[Jakes:] I know what you mean
[Kirk:] I mean, every since that Tuesday, seems like life's just getting real strange
[Jakes:] I hear ya
Anthrax, terrorist attacks and... I ain't even trying to get on no plane
[Jakes:] I feel ya
[Kirk:] ...and you know when I try to pray, there's a voice that telling that God's not real
[Jakes:] You know that's just the enemy
[Kirk:] Yea, but you ain't feelin' me
[Jakes:] No son, I know just know you feel...
See, just because I preach and teach don't mean I don't get scared sometimes
[Kirk:] yea, whatever, but you T.D. Jakes
[Jakes:] Well, then I don't make mistakes...
[Kirk:] Well...
[Jakes:] Now, let me tell you what's on my mind...
When your smile is gone (He cares)
[Kirk:] Yea, but I feel so alone (He's there and...)
[Jakes:] Although, your heart is heavy, God said: (every burden I will bear)
[Kirk:] See, but you don't know my (my pain)
And I'm getting so sick and tired of all (this rain)
I just got laid off, and to top it off the rent's due, so tell me what I got to gain?
[Jakes:] Well, see, trials come to make (you strong)
Storms won't last (last long)
[Kirk:] But how can I trust God in all this mess?
[Jakes:] Well, see that's the reason for the song
See, wherever you go there's one thing ya got to know
God, is right there by your side (weeping may endure for a night)
And he told me to tell you everything (everything's gon' be alright)

So thank you for calling...it's always good to hear from you
[Kirk:] yea, but...
[Jakes:] But I gotta go now
[Kirk:] wait a minute...
[Jakes:] I got another call on line 2
[Kirk:] But I ain't through

[Kirk:] See I'm sick and tired of all these church folk talking about stuff ain't as bad as it seems
See, y'all don't feel my pain...
[Jakes:] I don't have pain...?
[Kirk:] I don't see how ...you on the cover on Time magazine
[Jakes:] See, but you're looking at now and you don't know how I struggled and what I've been through
[Kirk:] Yea, whatever...
[Jakes:] Now, you crossed the line...
[Kirk:] I'm just speakin' my mind
[Jakes:] O.K. so let me speak mine, too (Hmmmmmm)
I've made some mountains, I've seen some valleys, I've even had to cry sometimes
Like when I lost my mother
[Kirk:] Your mother?
[Jakes:] My mother:
[Kirk:] I'm sorry...
[Jakes:] No son...that's fine: ...see life is full of ups and downs but God said
(the storm won't last long)
[Kirk:] But how'd you make it through?
[Jakes:] Boy, I thought you knew...it was His (love that kept me strong)
When your smile is gone (He cares)
[Kirk:] But I feel so alone (He's there and...)
[Jakes:] Although, your heart is heavy, God said...(every burden I will bear)
[Kirk:] yea, but see...y'all don't feel (my pain)
And I'm getting very sick and tired of all this (this rain)
Just got laid off, and to top it off the rent's due, so tell me, Bishop, what I gotta gain?
[Jakes:] Didn't I tell you trials come to make (you strong)
And those old storms won't (last long)
[Kirk:] How can I trust God in the midst of all this mess?
[Jakes:] See that's the reason for this song
Wherever you go there's something ya got to know (God still cares)
(weeping may endure for a night)
And he told me to tell you (everything's gon' be alright)

[Kirk:] Thank you pastor
Jakes: Any time...
[Kirk:] I think I can make it now...just tell me what I need to do
[Jakes:] Just pray this prayer with me...
Say: Father (Father) forgive me (forgive me) I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
Please help me (help me) I love you (I love you) I need you (I need you)
Hold me (hold me) Jesus (Jesus)
My heart (my heart) my soul (my soul) please take (please take) control (control)
Right now (Now) now (now) now (now) (right now)

[Jakes:] When you ain't got no smile (he cares)
[Kirk:] and even when you feel so alone (he's there and...)
[Jakes:] Although your heart is heavy, God said (every burden I will bear)
[Kirk:] And even in the midst of all ya (pain)
And when you're sick and tired of all the rain (this rain)
Remember that the rain won't last always...and in Christ Jesus, you got so much to gain
[Jakes:] You see your trials come to make you (strong)
And the storms won't last (too long)
[Kirk:] Remember my brother, my sister...it's only temporary
[Jakes:] See that's the reason for this song
Wherever you go
[Kirk:] There's something you've got to know
[Jakes:] God is still there (weeping may endure for a night)
[Kirk:] And told me to tell you (everthing's gon' be alright

So many different religions
And so many different churches
And if God really loves me
Then why does life keep hurting me
If you ever ask these questions
Well my friend, I got the answer
Just listen

You have the power
To make the season change
The river flows for You
The wind whispers Your name
For me You left Your throne
And traded crown for thorns instead
I'm safe within not by Your skin
But because your blood was red

Some say you're black, you're white
They question if You're real
We treat You like, we treat ourselves
I wonder how You feel
To see Your children fight inspite
The tears for us You shed
Doesn't matter what color You are
As long as Your blood was red

[chorus]
For it's strong enough, to wash away my sins
And it's pure enough, to cleanse me deep within
And it's real enough, to find me when I'm lost
Great enough, to die upon the cross
Doesn't matter what color You are
As long as Your blood was red

We may be different but
The God we serves the same
Yet every Sunday we seperate
And bring our Father pain
Your name is higher than any other
Yet You took my place instead
Ahora mis pecados son limpios
Because Your blood was red

[chorus]

Oh, precious is that flow
That makes white as snow
No other fount I know

[soloist #1]
Doesn't matter what color You are

[choir]
As long as Your blood was red

[soloist #2]
Doesn't matter what color You are

[choir]
As long as Your blood was red

[soloist #3]
Doesn't matter what color I am

[choir]
As long as Your blood was red
[soloist #3]
As long as my blood was red

When I close my eyes and think of you
And reminisce on all the things you do
I can't imagine my life without you
It's like paradise, now I
Know that it's real (um)
It's a mystery
For someone to give their life just for me
What you did on Calvary
Makes me wanna love you more

[chorus]
I never knew
I could be so happy
I never knew
I'd be so secure
Because of your love
Life has brand new meaning
It's gonna be a brighter day, brighter day

Never thought that I would smile again
I never thought the dark clouds would end
Never thought that I could have a friend
That would keep me never leave me alone
Jesus you're my everything
the only one that makes my heart sing (heart sing)
Now I know what real love means
It's everlasting, lasting

[chrous]

Nothing can compare
To the joy you bring
An everlasting love affair
Jesus my life would never be the same
I found someone who truly cares

[chorus]

Itsgoin to be a brighter day,brighter day,brigther day
Brighter day, brighter day, brighter day, brighter day
Brighter day, brighter day
Just say

[chorus]

Verse- My hands were made to worship you
My heart my King it beats for You
Oh Lamb so true I surrender to You

Chorus- My life ( I give you) My Love ( I give you) My All

Verse- Your touch your kiss your grace to me
Is deeper than My soul can see
My purpose, it changed
When I called out Your name

Chorus

Bridge- My past, (My past) has been erased with just one touch from you
My clouds my rain my pain has changed
Your blood has made me new

Vamp- Oh Lamb so true I surrender to you

Chorus

and paradise with You begins
Well done You'll say
When I see Your face

Chorus

Bridge

Vamp- Oh Lamb (oh Lamb) So true (so true) I surrender to You x3

Chorus
Repeat to fade.

Every time i look back
and everytime i think back
on all the stuff i been through
i prayed through i cried through
and then i tried you and just when i was about to fall
your love caught me when your name i called
jesus you keep on looking out for me
Repeat

remember when the doctor said
he said he couldn't help you and
remember when the money was getting low
you're hurtin now you're feelin low and
just when you thought the night would never end
the sun came out now you can smile again
jesus you keep on lookin out for me
repeat

chorus

you keep on lookin out for me (repeat 3x's)
in spite of all i've done
jesus you keep on lookin out for me

verse

i shouldn't be here today
and when i look back on all my mistakes if it hadn't been for your grace
i don't know where i'd be where i'd go
who can love me like you do
and who can hold me when i'm goin through
jesus you keep on lookin out for me

Why do you cry, He has risen
Why are you weeping, He's not dead
Why do you cry, He has risen
Why are you weeping, He's not dead
He paid it all on that lonely highway (hey)
And His anointing I can feel
He shed His blood for my transgressions
And by His stripes we are healed

Why do you cry, He has risen
Why are you weeping, He's not dead
So as you go through life's journey
Don't you worry, lift up your head
Don't you cry, stop your weeping
He has risen, He's not dead

So as you go through life's journey's
Don't you worry, lift up your head

Jesus bless our country
Bless every child who lost their mummies and daddies

And how much u care
And they don't have to be afraid
For u have not given us
The spirit of fear but of power
Love and a sound mind

Verse 1:You know I've had some lonely days
I've made mistakes and had to pay
I've had some friends that walked away

Every pain that erased every stain

Chorus 1:Jesus your my everything

so whatever you take me through
I promise you

Kirk Franklin (talking)
Can you lift your hands and help me worship

verse 2: No one can touch my heart like you
or make me smile the way you do
I finally found someone who
Who really truly loves me
But when my strength has come and gone
Your life in me it makes me strong
Your hand is where my heart belongs
You took all my pain
and erased every stain

Chorus 1:

Chorus 2: Jesus my whole life has changed
since that day I cried your name
For everytime you brought me through
I promise you
I'll spend my always with you.

You have the power to make the seasons change
The rivers flows for you the wind whispers your name
For me you left your throne and traded
Crown for thorns instead
I'm saved within not by your skin
But because your blood was red

We may be different but, the God we serve's the same
Every Sunday we seperate, and bring the father pain
His name is: "Higher than Any other"
But you took my place instead
It doesnt matter what color you are no Jesus
"As long as you're blood was red"

It reaches to the highest mountain
And it flows to the lowest valley
The blood that gives me strength
From day, to day

Listen:
For God so loved the World that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever
believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life, baby, no doubt,
baby, no doubt.

Chorus
Throw your hands up
Throw your hands up
Throw your hands up (Ooooooh)
Throw your hands up (Ooooooh)

No doubt

How could someone like you, love someone like me
Full of mistakes and insecurity,
When you look in my heart, tell me what do you see, that makes you
love me so?
Is it the nails that pierced in your side?Or the moment you dropped your
head and you died,
For a sinner like me, you gave up your life;
It's time to let you know
