STRONG GOD LYRICS BY KIRK FRANKLIN

Mayday, mayday
The Earth is shaking
Who gon' save the babies
From another Bloody Sunday?
I'm singing mayday, mayday
They love me or they hate me
For my skin color
But you say I am your brother, yeah

The government keep lying to me
Telling me that they come to set the people free
Cut the power phones when you catch us on our knees
Heaven please, we're in a state of emergency
See we need a strong God, yeah
We need the real God, yeah
The God with the resurrection power from the grave
To take away the hate, to heal the human race, yeah

We need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a
We need a strong God
See we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a
Yuh, yuh, yuh

Say mayday, mayday
They say the climate changin'
The poor people in the cold
But you keep preachin' to they soul
But we don't leave 'til everybody's free
And we won't sleep 'til everybody eats
Until lives matter
More than ties matter



The government keep lying to me
Telling me that they come to set the people free
Cut the power phones when you catch us on our knees
Heaven please, we're in a state of emergency
See we need a strong God, real strong, yeah
We need the real God, yeah, yeah
The God with the resurrection power from the grave
To take away the hate, to heal the human race

See we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a
We need a strong God
See we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a
(Let's go)
Yuh, yuh, yuh

We want justice, we want change
(Want change)
You want peace and no more pain
(More pain, yeah)
To be equal, to be free
(Yes)
Martin's dream is what I need, yeah
We want justice, we want change
You want peace and no more pain
(No more pain)
To be equal, to be free (We wanna be free)
Martin's dream is what I need
Just don't preach the gospel
Be the gospel

My country 'tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty
When will we finally see
We need a strong God? Yeah


The government keep lying to me
Telling me that they come to set the people free
Cut the power phones when you catch us on our knees
(On our knees)
Heaven please, we're in a state of emergency
See we need a strong God, yeah
We need the real God
The God with the resurrection power from the grave
(Yes)
To take away the hate
(Yes)
To heal the human race
(Come on)

We need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a
We need a strong God
See we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a
(Let's go)

Mayday, mayday
Said mayday, mayday
Mayday, mayday
