Ready To Meet Him Lyrics by Dmx

Ready To Meet Him

[talking]
Please give me the strength I need to live...
Bear with me
Amen

We each walk the path, that weve chosen

[chorus]
Im ready to meet him,
Were Im living aint right
Black hate white
White hate black
Its right back
To the same fight
They got us suspecting a war
But the real war is to follow the law of the lord

Lord, you left me stranded
And I dont know why
Told me to live my life,
Now Im ready to die
Ready to fly
I cry, but I shed no tears
You told me you would dead those fears, its been years
Snakes still coming at me
Just missing
Sometimes I think all you doing me is just listen
I thought that I was special
Thats what you told me
Hold me
Stop acting like you dont know me
Whatd I do so bad that it sent you away from me
Not only sent you away, but made you stay away from me
[my child Im here, as Ive always been, it was you who went away,
And now are back again, what did I say? ]
Follow your word, and be true
[what did you do? ]
Wellwhat I wanted to do...
[what have you seen? ]
Darkness and hell at a glance
[what do you want? ]
All I want is another chance

Chorus

[just because you went away, my doors are not locked, wanna come back home,
All you gotta do is knock]
Ya see, I left home a boy, I returned as a man
Full grown, and Im still not able to stand
[I gave you a hand]
Well...but I was looking the wrong way
Figured out the plan, then I started to pray
And that prayer, took me from here to over there
Back to over here,
Now they got me like where?
Do I belong?
Do I fit in?
Things on my mind, where do I begin?
Its easier to sin, but it hurts my heart
Im really tryin to win, so where do we start?
[thou shall not steal]
But, what if he stole from me?
[thou shall not kill]
But what if hes tryin to kill me?
[thou shall not, take my, name in vain, no matter how hard it rains,
Withstand the pain]

Chorus

Our father, who art in heaven
Im not ashamed to ask for guidance, at 27
No longer afraid to knock on your door
Not scared anymore to lose my life in the war
After what I just saw, Im ridin with the lord
Cause I really cant afford to lose my head by the sword
And now that Ive seen, what I need to see
Please take me, where I need to be
[what have you learned? ]
Its better to tell the truth than to lie
[what have you learned? ]
To love my life until I die
[what have you learned? ]
Violence isnt always the key
[what have you learned? ]
You cant always believe what you see
[what have you learned? ]
Its better to forgive and forget
[what have you learned? ]
Give as you expect to get
[what have you learned? ]
That I cant go on without you
[what have you learned? ]
I musta been a fool to ever doubt you

Chorus

Im ready to meet him
