MAN 1:<br>
Lord, we take this journey <br>
To find a promised land<br>
Lord, we take this journey <br>
To find a promised land<br>
And we believe in your power<br>
We believe in your power<br>
We believe in your power<br>
But the end is so close<br>
So close at hand<br>
<br>
Lord, these men are hungry<br>
There just hasn't been enough<br>
And the journey's been so rough <br>
And, Lord, these men are hurting <br>
They implore me to go back <br>
As the planks beneath them crack <br>
<br>
And I know it's my responsibility <br>
But I'm starving too <br>
And I hurt, I do <br>
And I'm lost <br>
I believe in my responsibility <br>
But I need to see <br>
If the fruits will be worth the cost <br>
<br>
So I'm begging you, Lord <br>
You gotta stop, take a look <br>
At your children who believe in this promised land <br>
Have mercy, Lord <br>
Stop their suffering and their woe <br>
Stop, shine your light on these children <br>
Who have faith in your guiding hand <br>
I'm just begging Lord <br>
‘Cause there's no place else to go <br>
I am unworthy, Lord <br>
<br>
Lord, this ship is crowded <br>
And the men are tired an worn <br>
But another baby's born <br>
And, Lord, this ship is broken <br>
And the sails are ripped and old <br>
But the winds are rough and cold <br>
<br>
And I know<br>
<br>
MAN 1, WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, & MAN 2:<br>
It's my responsibility <br>
<br>
MAN 1:<br>
When I ride the sea <br>
These men turn to me for a sign <br>
<br>
MAN 1, WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, & MAN 2:<br>
I believe in my responsibility <br>
<br>
MAN 1:<br>
But I can't be sure <br>
When it's time for your light to shine <br>
So I'm begging you, Lord <br>
To make it <br>
<br>
MAN 1, WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, & MAN 2:<br>
Stop, Take a look <br>
<br>
MAN 1:<br>
At your children <br>
Who believe in this promised land <br>
<br>
MAN 1, WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, & MAN 2:<br>
Have mercy, Lord <br>
<br>
MAN 1:<br>
Give a sign to let us know <br>
<br>
MAN 1, WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, & MAN 2:<br>
Stop, shine your light <br>
<br>
MAN 1:<br>
On these children <br>
Who have faith in your guiding hand <br>
I'm just begging, Lord <br>
‘Cause there's no place else to go <br>
<br>
WOMAN 1:<br>
Lord, save this child <br>
I am not strong enough <br>
I am not strong enough <br>
Lord, save my soul <br>
I am unworthy <br>
<br>
WOMAN 1 & WOMAN 2:<br>
Lord, take my hand<br>
I am not strong enough<br>
I am not strong enough<br>
<br>
WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, & MAN 2:<br>
Lord, take my heart<br>
I am unworthy <br>
<br>
MAN 1, WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, & MAN 2:<br>
Lord, give me hope <br>
I am not strong enough <br>
I am not strong enough <br>
Lord, give me light <br>
I am unworthy <br>
I am unworthy <br>
<br>
Stop, take a look <br>
At the children, at the children <br>
Who believe in this promised land <br>
You gotta have mercy, Lord <br>
Have mercy, Lord <br>
Give us strength so that we can grow <br>
<br>
Stop, shine your light <br>
On these children who have faith in divine command<br>
<br>
MAN 1:<br>
I'm just begging, Lord <br>
I'm just begging you, Lord <br>
I know I am unworthy <br>
But there's no place else to go <br>
<br>
WOMAN 1:<br>
A new world calls across the ocean <br>
<br>
MAN 2:<br>
A new world calls across the ocean<br>
<br>
WOMAN 2:<br>
A new world <br>
<br>
MAN 1, WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, & MAN 2:<br>
Calls across the sky!<br>
<br>
