I Knew What I Was Getting Into - Misty Edwards

Parole du chant "I Knew What I Was Getting Into" :


I knew what I was getting into when I called you.
I knew what I was getting into when I said your name, I said it just the same.
I knew what I was getting into and I still like you.
I knew what I was getting into.


Listen my beloved.
I am not shocked by your failure
I am not shocked even by your sin
Only I can see the end from the beginning
Only I can see where this is going
When you only see your failure, I see a fighter
When you only see your brokeness I see a lover
I am not shocked by your failure
I am not shocked even by your sin
Listen, Listen


Just don't give up Don't give in
If you don't quit you'll win, you'll win
That's all I'm asking
Listen


Everything is in my Hands
It's gonna be alright You're gonna be OK
I hear Him singing over you, He says
Everything is in my Hands
It's gonna be alright You're gonna be OK


I hear Him singing over you For some of you
I hear Him say your name, saying your name
He says to you I'm not like your father
Listen beloved one I'm not like your father
Cuz even the best of them are just broken brothers
Listen my child Listen to me
I'm not like your father Why are you putting that on me
Listen Listen I'm not like your father
Cuz even the best of them are just broken brothers


All men are broken
And broken men break their children
Who grow up to be broken men
But I'm bigger than that Come to Me I'm bigger than that
[Repeat}


I'm not like your father And some of you have been so
Afraid of repeating the same mistakes But fear has you frozen
But Listen Listen I have the power to change things
And I have the power to make you new
And I have the power to re-arrange that same old chain
And Listen You're not like your father
It's a new day It's a new day You're not like your father
And the sins of your fathers and their fathers and their fathers, fathers
Will not be on you Just keep on keep on coming keep on coming (3x)
Listen My beloved one.


You gotta let your fathers go. Your fathers were broken by their fathers
Who were broken by their fathers their fathers and their father's fathers
And on and on. We're all in this together And there is only one good Father
And there is only one good Father He's the Father of all creation
He's the Father of lives and all glory and He loves us so well
And all He says is


And some of you are so full of regrets But your babies are My babies
Listen Your babies are my babies And I will be the Father
Cuz your babies are my babies I'm going to turn it all around


Just wait and see no regrets I'm going to make everything beautiful
Just in time I'm going to turn it all around (2x)


Prayer: Father we lean into You - into Your heart of compassion and mercy
and goodness. We trust you. You are the Father of all. We're all in this
together. We let go of our past. The bitterness, the disappointment, the dis-
illusionment and we come before You Oh God with faith and hope. We ask
you to fan the flame. Lift our eyes above -- let us see things as You see them.
We love You.
