Earl Robinson - To Zion lyrics

[Intro] One day, you'll understand... Zion [Verse 1] Unsure of what the balance held I touched my belly overwhelmed By what I had been chosen to perform But then an angel came one day Told me to kneel down and pray For unto me a man-child would be born Woe this crazy circumstance I knew his life deserved a chance But everybody told me to be smart "Look at your career," they said "Lauryn baby use your head." But instead I chose to use my heart [Hook] Now the joy of my world Is in Zion! (Zion, Zion!) Now the joy of my world Is in Zion! (Zion, uhh, Zion!) [Verse 2] How beautiful if nothing more Than to wait at Zion's door I've never been in love like this before Now let me pray to keep you from The perils that will surely come See life for you my Prince has just begun And I thank you for choosing me To come through unto life to be A beautiful reflection of His grace See I know that a gift so great Is only one God could create And I'm reminded every time I see your face [Hook] [Skit] Teacher: Okay, now how many people here have ever been in love? I know none of the guys are gonna raise their hand. How many of y'all ever been in love? (Mumbling) Teacher: I know none of the guys been in... we don't get in love, right? Oh! Let this black man right here tell what his idea of love is, cos not all the time we hear a young black man talk about love. About your personal definition, don't tell me what Webster thinks. Huh? Boy: Willing to do anything for that person Teacher: Okay, anything like what? Explain. Let him talk c'mon. If I asked him to talk about a fancy car, you'll be right on point. But he wanna talk about love. You can do it. (To another pupil) What do you think? You said you love somebody, you should know why you love them right? Boy: The way they act Teacher: Uh-huh Boy: The way they care of themselves, stuff like that Teacher: Okay Girl: Boys that, they just stand out
