[Verse 1: Mit MJ Rips]
Thank you for the first rose
You rose from the sheol
With only one true goal
And that was to complete the Father's will
The reason I walk up the same old hill
Singing praises to the lord still
Who rose 2Pac from the concrete
Who rose Johnny to a new life
Who rose me from sins and misery
Who walked first through Calvary
As I take up my cross and walk
Walk into the Light…
