I Want to Sing

Location

I want to sing

For millions to hear

So they'll all sing back

And unity will become clear

I want to sing 

Not for me

For the souls in need

To feed the hungry

With the money

See my voice is not my own

But the Lord's above 

The One who made me 

You see,

If I will sing,

And people will hear,

The profit will pass me,

I'll send it near

To the bodies all too thin

Nutrition-missin'

The single mother tryin'

I want to speak 

Through melodies and chords

To declare life

Over the broken, the unborn. 

The outcasts,

Those whose lips are sealed,

Whose ribs are shown

Whose minds are blown

They can't think properly

When all they want 

Is some honey

I want to sing.

As typical as it may seem,

For me to have this dream, 

I can't put it aside;

I can't let it die.

From the earth

To the skies

Music exists to lift God on High

So I want to try 

To shake the nations

Bring restoration

Bring hope,

Love,

Healing, 

Nourishment,

By singing and provoking

The God of atoning

The One whose presence

Brings joy and anointance

If His people will sing

Along with me

God will listen

He will bend down

His glory will fall

The lame, too, will stand tall

If God will do as He promised

And make us a people

Then I will open my mouth

I'll sing from the church steeple

If God will bring life

And the bread multiply,

The lives change tonight,

Then I will strive

To sing with authority and power

Until that joyful hour

Where the trumpets sound

And the righteous are no longer bound

To the sin in this earth

The pain, and suffering

For this reason, I want to sing

So while we have time

My mouth will open wide

The notes will fly 

The words I'll pry

The mouths will not shut dry

The hearts will praise

And souls will shout out

Spirits will pray, "I need you God, now!"

For all these things

I want to sing

All the nations

All the blessings

For the glory of the Lord

And the restoration of His people

For hunger to be no more

I'm going to sing
