Deliver Us, Father won’t you please take control

Deliver Us, Fill our hearts with love make us whole

Deliver Us, Father won’t you please touch our souls

Deliver Us, Father won’t you please redeem us

We came across the sea together. 400 years we lived as slaves

We dreamed of days when things would be better, When freedom for all could be claimed

Now we walk the streets afraid of each other, because of crime and drugs and gangs

Now we don’t take time to care for each other, cause dog eat dog became our shame

So I’m calling on you lord Please

Deliver Us, Father won’t you please take control

Deliver Us, Fill our hearts with love make us whole

Deliver Us, Father won’t you please touch our souls

Deliver Us, Father won’t you please redeem us

The murder rate is getting higher, the drop out rate is through the roof

So many souls consumed by fire, and someone needs to tell the truth

Cause we’re becoming our own worst enemy, For money we’ll do anything

And we’re addicted to material things, The cars, high fashion and the bling

And I calling on you Lord

Deliver Us, Father won’t you please take control

Deliver Us, Fill our hearts with love make us whole

Deliver Us, Father won’t you please touch our souls

Deliver Us, Father won’t you please redeem us

Everyday on the news its the same, Brothas get’n killed on the streets for the money thang

Rolling through the hood in the cars spinning bling, ready to kill for the money and the gang bang

Whatever happened to the days of respect, when Blacks stuck together and we had each others backs

Whatever happened to the nod and the dap, Now we pass each other and don’t even look back

We use to be tight and we kept it so real, But now were quick to fight and so ready to kill

I never thought the day would come death would rule the land, I never thought that I would live in fear of a Black man

So Lord I’m calling out sincerely Lord I pray, deliver us from evil and change our hearts today

We need your intervention, we need your ray of hope, We need your words to guide us through, We need your love to cope

Deliver Us, Father won’t you please take control

Deliver Us, Fill our hearts with love make us whole

Deliver Us, Father won’t you please touch our souls

Deliver Us, Father won’t you please redeem us
