Glory / Stranger Songtext
von Fisk Jubilee Singers

One day when the glory comes
It will be ours, it will be ours
Oh, one day when the war is won
We will be sure, we will be sure

Oh glory (glory)
Oh (glory)
Glory (glory)
Glory (glory)

Black on black crime, black on black violence
We don′t talk to police, that's black on black silence
Living on welfare, living in hell here
When everybody is broke, you fear for your welfare, uh

Look at them thugs, how dangerous they are with gun in hand
Look what them ghetto girls posting on their Instagram
Don′t bring them to our church, 'cause we don't want that riffraff
What you expect when most of us grew up wishing for?


There′s no jobs in our community and people losing hope
Why you think he on that corner selling dope?
It ain′t for fun, it's a plan
When we was chained on that boat
America lynched our rights and we still hanging from the rope

And I promise, I want to leave it in the past, but it′s hard
'Cause I′ve just seen an unarmed teen shot down like a dog
I pray you hear my heart, 'cause it′s heavy when I'm rapping
See, the reason for this song is that I'm asking for the glory of the Lord

One day when the glory comes
It will be ours, it will be ours
Oh glory (glory)
Oh (glory)
Glory (glory)
Glory (glory)

Now the war is not over, victory isn′t won
We will fight on to the finish, then when it′s all done
We'll cry glory, oh glory
Oh glory
Glory


And I′m convinced that we should love one another
Regardless of our pigment, we all bleed the same colour
We're made in a, image of God like no other
It′s clear the world is hurt, but I can tell you that
He love us, He love us

So even if you hate me, I'ma love you
I′ma heal your heart until the Lord take this pain from you
I'ma pray for you
I'ma feel your struggle
You gon′ feel mine
I′ma walk with you 'til the glory of the Lord

One day when the glory comes
It will be ours, it will be ours
Oh glory (glory)
Glory (glory)
Glory (glory)
Glory (glory)
