Trust

VERSE 1 (Sister Jones): Young Hope sits by herself, sitting down wondering where have the years gone? / Storybook on the shelf, but no one's reading how her life's been / Time seems to pass her by, battle after battle, nothing is simple / And so she's asking why, how she came through / While she looks to the sky, knowing she could not be alone / You were right by her side, not for a minute were You gone /

CHORUS 1: Hope don't fall now, they wanna leave, but trust in who you stand / (2X)

VERSE 2 (Jahaziel): I know your upbringing , I know your background / I see you rise up, only to fall back down / Against the odds, you didn't back down / Nah you come too far to turn back now sister / It's been a long road, but you made it here / Through the struggle, through the stress, through the pain and tears / You've been praying for years, now your change is near / No more guilt, no more shame, your name has been cleared / I know their words hurt you, when they looked and they cursed you / Now they shook cause He turned you, to a woman of virtue / Your purse was broke, but what burns you the most / Was getting tried and criticized by church folk / I know your dreams suffered, being a teen mother / For years feeling like all you had was each other / 'Cause your baby's dad abandoned you both / You working two jobs to manage and cope, you gotta stand on your hope girl /

VERSE 3 (Sister Jones): Justice sits on the wall / Sirens racing, streets are changing / He thinks he's lost it all / Friends have past, no one to call on / He knows there is something else / Not enough to leave, too little to hold on / Desperate to find himself, who will he turn to? / Against all odds he stands, knowing he could not be alone / You had a perfect plan, not for a minute were You gone /

CHORUS 2: Just don't fall now, they wanna leave, but trust in who you stand / (2X)

VERSE 4 (Jahaziel): I know your upbringing, I know your background / I see you rise up, only to fall back down / Against the odds, you didn't back down / Nah you come too far to turn back now brother / Remember days you was running on streets / Always looking something to tief 'cause nothing was cheap / Wearing sneaks on your feet just to run from police / Chief under your sleeve in case you run into beef / You was young and naive, lots to learn / Underachieved in school, but was not concerned / 'Cause if worse comes to worst, you heard as long as cats need rocks to burn, you got a lot to earn but yo / Everybody gets the just return / Friends got shot, made you want to stop and turn / Turn a page, turn from your wordly ways / Turn away from a date with an early grave /

VERSE 5 (S2): Now you've, heard the story of Hope and Just / Glory to God, in Him we put our hope and trust / .. slowly and makes them focused plus / Forgets past, greets with the most open arms / He'll sit down trodden and soothes the broke with Psalms / Ever-loving, even when we oppose commands / How many people you know will put / holes in palms and feet / to give your soul a chance? / We had, troubled upbringings, and shady backgrounds / We've been delivered so you'll never see us back 'round / To where He picked us from, can't retrace our steps, and go back to our distant wrongs / We've been made anew, and He'll make you too, but only you can make that major move / A fresh chance awaits, at the dawn of day / So take heed to what the chorus say, sing it Sister J. /

OUTRO: Don't throw your life away, keep looking to Him / He's not too far away, He'll get you through it / Don't turn your eyes away, keep looking to Him / He's not too far away, He'll get you through it /
