[Verse 1: DMX]

I come to you hungry and tired

You give me food and let me sleep

I come to you weak

You give me strength and that's deep

You call me a sheep and lead me to green pastures

Only asking that I keep the focus in between the chapters

You give me the word and only ask that I interpret

And give me the eyes that I may recognize the serpent

You know I ain't perfect, but You like me to try

Unlike the devil who just wants me to lie 'til I die

Lord, why is it that I go through so much pain?

All I saw was black, all I felt was rain

I come to You because it's You who knows

Showed me that everything was black because my eyes were closed

You gave me the light, and let me bask in Your glory

So it was only right, that when you asked for this story

I put it together, to do our dogs some good

Our dogs being brothers and sisters in the hood

[Interlude: Lena Byrd-Miles]

You don't owe me, but You show me

A love that I could never repay

[Verse 2: DMX]

Plenty of times, You send help my way, but I hid

And I remember once You held me close, but I slid

It was something that, I just had to see

That You wanted me to see so I could be what you wanted me to be

And I think I've seen it, cause I don't feel the same

Matter fact, I know I've seen it, I can feel it change

It's strange, what's got me beating down Your door

But I've never known love like this before

[Interlude: Lena Byrd-Miles]

I never knew there was a love like this before (Before)

[Verse 3: DMX]

It's a wonderful feeling to get away from the pain

End up under the ceiling to get away from the rain

And the strain that I feel when I'm here is gone

I know real, so I wipe away the tears with a song

And I almost lost faith when You took my man

Monty, House O, and J's brother, Dan

And I fear that what I'm sayin' won't be heard until I'm gone

But it's all good, 'cause I really didn't expect to live long

So if it takes for me to suffer for my brother to see the light

Give me pain 'til I die, but please Lord, treat him right

[Interlude: Lena Byrd-Miles]

Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen

Everybody say

Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen

[Outro: Snoop Dogg]

Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You, asking for your forgiveness

Thanking you for Your blessings

Continuing to keep You with me every step of the way

Church is not just a word, it's having God in everything I do
