911(feat. Td Jakes

[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]

[ad lib to end]
