Make It Through (with Linda Davis) Lyrics

Well the sun beats down and the sand gets hotWhere I break my back hauling endless rockFor a man made GodI really don?t believe inI shoulder the rope and I bear the strainWipe the salt from my eyes and ignore the painThough I know when I fallAnother whip is comingWhen I feel my body going downAnd there?s nothing I can doI know if I keep my faith in youI?m gonna make it throughI?m a prisoner here in this hall of kingsI?m gold I?m jewels I?m a diamond ringTo be given as a token of God?s affectionThe law says I?m their propertyBut my heart and my soul belong to meThey can hold me but I?ll never be in their possessionWhen I feel my body going downAnd there?s nothing I can doI know if I keep my faith in youI?m gonna make it throughThrough the doubtGive me strength to lead them outGive them faith to follow meGuide us through the seaSo help me God I?m a common manWith the lives of thousands in my handsAs I carry them into the land you promisedAnd when I feel my body going downAnd there?s nothing I can doI know if I keep my faith in youI?m gonna make it throughI know if I keep my faith in youWe?re gonna make it through
