I got a nickel in my pocket and I’m ready to live/ I got a dollar in my hand and I’m ready to give
I got love on my heart and I’m ready to smile/ I got hunger in my belly / I ain’t ate in a while
I got you on my mind and the spirit of God/ I got this whole life to live and at times it’s kinda hard
Ain’t got a chance in hell, but I do this anyway/ I got a lot on my mind and I got things to say like…
Chorus
Love, love, love, love
In this world of hate I try to let peace lead the way/ In the still of the night I try to make a new day
In this moment of truth I make sure to let it shine/ In this time of confusion I know that you are mine
In this phrase of doubt I only know benevolence/ In the stench of evil only know Heaven’s scent
And in this moment of silence only know one word/ In that syllable you speak let it be heard to say…
Chorus
I got a smile in my spirit and I’m ready to sing/ I got the grace of You so I’m ready to do this thing
In this space of confusion let You plot the course/ In this world of clattering I only hear one voice
I got a lot to learn and I can only do my best/ I put my faith in one thing and let go of all the rest
In this time of crucifixion only know resurrection/ Know that one syllable can show me the direction to…
