J. Jones - Redemption (feat. Breana Marin) Lyrics

Im lookin to the heavens for some intervention
But did I mention that my living is consumed with sinning
Momma taught me to call on the name of the Lord
But It gets hard when I sit back think about where we are
I seen a brother gunned down in the streets
With no reaction
Now I'm thinking like the next could be me
Sheep led to the slaughter my daughter missing her father
Her momma crying scared her sons gonna follow
Another life full of sorrow
But what more can I say
No more condolences
I'm bound to get what's coming my way
Let us pray

Praying for the day that the good Lord saves my Soul
Raise me up till I'm on my feet again
Im on my knees
Weak
Praying for the day that the good Lord brings me Redemption

I'm looking for redemption in a fallen world
Tryna maintain a level of hope that won't ever unfurl
Traversing paths of the unguided little boys and girls
And turning the other cheek might peek when life is peachy pearl
I want to be the Good Samaritan but won't slow down
I see the trouble in youth but I just sit and frown
And close my eyelids when it's dark and I sleep safe sound
Then I hear two shots and news say that there's one on ground
And just like Tupac I tell mama keep yo head up now
And just like Tupac when they need me I just get round

Praying for the day that the good Lord saves my Soul
Raise me up till I'm on my feet again
Im on my knees
Weak
Praying for the day that the good Lord brings me Redemption

You thought you had me down but I'm still here
I've been down before so I won't fear
The temporary setbacks
Trust me when I get back
Better watch your back cause I'm in here

See redemption leads to salvation and Salvation leads to justification
Justification places is in the process of sanctification which eventually results in glorification
No matter what they do
What they say
They can't take that from me
Not one that he was ever given was lost so I ain't going nowhere
And I put his blood on that

Take back the city verse
I know the weight is heavy and I feel your burden
I know the pain is burning I know that you hurting
I know you need some asnwers know you steady searching for the justice
Rest In Peace Philando and to Alton Sterling
Let your kingdom come and let your will be done I prayed it times before
But now I'm praying with an honest tongue
Praying that revival sweeps this nation anchored in Sun
And reconciliation is the angle that I'm coming from
It's due time
Cover my soldiers who hold that blue line
Dallas Baton Rouge and to them soldiers in my hometown
Face the opposition and witness the glory come down
I'm anxious for your entrance I'm itching to here that trumpet sound
I know it's looking bad but, all I sees a fighting chance
For god to use his people to bring healing to a hurting a land
Take the city back so we can place it in his perfect hands
And share the love of Christ and see it through into the promise
I pray to be a better man
Build me to better than
My enemies who seeking to see me slip from your holy hand
So heal the barest of your people and bring them back to the master
It's only one life we can all say matters and that's Christ

Praying for the day that the good Lord saves my Soul
Raise me up till I'm on my feet again
Im on my knees
Weak
Praying for the day that the good Lord brings me Redemption
