Amen
Amen: Embracing Hope in a World of Struggles
Lyrics
This world is full of people
This world is populated by individuals.
The weary and the poor
It includes those who are tired and impoverished.
Waiting for the day
People anticipate a future day.
When they will hurt no more
A day when they won't experience pain anymore.
Though this world is full of suffering
Despite the prevalence of suffering in the world,
These promises are true
There are genuine promises that exist.
We hold on to the hope
We hold onto the hope that this day is approaching.
That the day is coming soon
Anticipating a positive future.
So Amen, amen and the people said amen
Expressing affirmation and agreement through "Amen."
The troubles of this world
The difficulties of this world are reaching a conclusion.
They're comin' to an end
An optimistic view that challenges will end.
And all my brothers and my sisters
Addressing fellow people as brothers and sisters.
Let me hear it again
Encouraging repetition of affirmation.
The kingdom is comin'
Referring to the arrival of a kingdom.
And the people said amen
Repeating the affirmation "Amen" regarding the kingdom.
This world is full of struggles
The world is filled with challenges and difficulties.
We're all trying to break free
Everyone is striving to break free from struggles.
We fall back to the same things
A tendency to revert to familiar vices.
'Cause addiction's our disease
Identifying addiction as a common affliction.
But I'm telling you there's someone
Asserting the presence of someone who can liberate.
Who will set your spirit free
Assurance of spiritual liberation through a specific entity.
His name is Jesus
Identifying the liberator as Jesus.
And His blood redeems
Highlighting the redemptive power of Jesus' blood.
Give me more than just religion
Expressing a desire for a deeper connection beyond mere religious practices.
'Cause it feels like something's missin'
Sensing a void or something lacking.
That heaven and earth collision
Desiring a profound connection between heaven and earth.
Amen, amen
Reiterating affirmation with "Amen."
Lift a hand if you believe it
Inviting participation and belief through a physical gesture.
And if ya feel it then help me sing it
Encouraging collective expression through singing.
If ya know that ya need it
Acknowledging the awareness of a need for something.
Then ya know that ya need it
Reinforcing the recognition of that need.
So amen, amen and the people said, Amen
Concluding with a final affirmation, "Amen."
