What it was you created us for
Dear God, here are we
Oh, we take what we get
But we sometimes forget
Dear God, I hope and pray you'll lead us to a better way
But we can't take much more
Do you sometimes forget
And we don't take no more
Dear God, lend a hand
Oh, we take what we get
What it was you created us for
And we don't take no more
Dear God, light up our way, dear God, dear God, dear God
Oh, we take what we get
But we sometimes forget
Though we've failed you, don't fail us
What it was you created us for, dear God?
Is this really what you planned?
Don't desert us in our need
Dear God, in you we trust
Less than perfect, far from free
Dear God, hear me plead
If you're listening, show some sign
Dear God, now's the time
Out of the darkness and light up our way
Dear God, I hope and pray you'll lead us to a brighter day
Love is the answer so light up our way
