all god’s children

VERSE 1

I’m praying that my mama don’t ever fall off the deep end

Praying that when she hears this song, she finds her healin’

For my cousin Dominique behind bars as a felon

I’m praying that she hears this too

VERSE 2

Shout out to my grandma’s Sunday school classes and her readin’ glasses

Wishing I was rich and famous and I can buy her houses

She lost my grandpapa this year and I know that it’s hard

But at least he lived a good life, oh glory to God

VERSE 3

Yahweh, sing His praise ‘til the walls fall down

And if the walls don’t fall down, sing His praise anyhow

You know my daddy was a gangster, God turned it around

Now my daddy is a gangster with a robe and a crown

CHORUS

Hey, we’re all God’s children

We all need a resurrection, a little taste of Heaven

He’ll set us free

Hey, we were all created to be a little complicated (created to be, to be a little complicated)

Ain’t nobody perfect

He’ll set us free (He’ll set us free, yeah)

VERSE 4

Oh, my brother told me he was a believer

I can see it in the future, prophesy ’til it happens, givin’ up is not an
option

My uncle Jeff still drinks until he falls on his face

But God’s hand is not short and it’s not too late

VERSE 5

Pray for the pastors, pray for the sinners

Doubters and believers (pray, pray)

Everything in between

If we struggle, let’s struggle

But look out for each other (look out, look out)

We don’t know what we go through, but we know we’re the same

POST CHORUS

Glory to God

Glory to God in the highest

All glory to God

VERSE 6

Pick up the phone and forgive them ‘cause it’s worth it

Tell the person that you love, that you love them

Follow the dreams that somehow you laid aside

Be yourself walkin’ all the way into the light

VERSE 7

Before they’re dead and they’re gone, give them roses

‘Cause there’s a gift in every day and every moment

The only way that I know to redeem the time

Is make the best of the present here and now

Make the best of the present here and now (All glory to God)
