Lyric Make It Through

(Skip Ewing/Tim Mensy)

Well the sun beats down and the sand gets hot
Where I break my back hauling endless rock
For a man made God
I really don t believe in
I shoulder the rope and I bear the strain
Wipe the salt from my eyes and ignore the pain
Though I know when I fall
Another whip is coming
When I feel my body going down
And there s nothing I can do
I know if I keep my faith in you
I m gonna make it through

I m a prisoner here in this hall of kings
I m gold I m jewels I m a diamond ring
To be given as a token of God s affection
The law says I m their property
But my heart and my soul belong to me
They can hold me but I ll never be in their possession
When I feel my body going down
And there s nothing I can do
I know if I keep my faith in you
I m gonna make it through

Through the doubt
Give me strength to lead them out
Give them faith to follow me
Guide us through the sea

So help me God I m a common man
With the lives of thousands in my hands
As I carry them into the land you promised
And when I feel my body going down
And there s nothing I can do
I know if I keep my faith in you
I m gonna make it through

I know if I keep my faith in you
We re gonna make it through
