There's Gonna Be a People

12/16/1990

CHORUS:

When will there be a People

Who cause You more than shame?

When will there be a People

Who do more than borrow Your Name?

When will there be a People

Who undividedly give

Their heart, their soul, their mind and their strength — 

Every day that they live?

As I look around the planet

There’s not a lot to see.

While many wear the Name of Christ,

We’re not a lot like Thee.

We sometimes live to serve ourselves,

Ignoring what you say.

How can we boast we know You

If we don’t know Your Way?

CHORUS

I lay my life before you

And I trust Your Word is true.

Though my feeble eyes may not have seen,

And my ears may not have heard.

You’ve said You’d build a Holy Race,

A City set on a Hill.

And if You’ve said there’d be a People like that — 

I trust and know that there will.

CHORUS

Progressive Chorus:

There’s gonna be a People…

We want to be a People…

We’re gonna be a People…

You’re making us a People…
