Intro: Natalie Green, Samoria Green & The-Dream

Yes, God

We don't want no devils in the house, God (Yes, Lord)

We want the lord (Yes, Jesus)

And that's it (Yes, God)

Hallej— hand over Satan (Yes, Jesus)

Jesus praise the Lord (Yes, God)

Hallelujah, God (Yes, God; mm-mm)

We don't want no devils in the house, God (Yes, Lord)

We want the lord (Yes, Jesus; Oh, oh)

And that's it (Yes, God)

Hallej— hand over Satan (Yes, Jesus)

Jesus praise the Lord (Yes, God)

Chorus: Kanye West & The-Dream

I'm tryna keep my faith

We on an ultralight beam

We on an ultralight beam, this is a God dream

This is a God dream, this is everything

This is everything

Verse 1: Kanye West

Deliver us serenity, deliver us peace

Deliver us love and we know we need it

You know we need it, you know we need it

That's why we need you now, oh, I

Pray for Paris, pray for the parents

This is a God dream

This is a God dream, this is a God dream

Chorus: Kanye West & Choir, Kanye West

We on an ultralight beam

We on an ultralight beam, this is a God dream

This is a God dream, this is everything

Everything

Post-Chorus: The-Dream

I'm tryna keep my faith

But I'm looking for more

Somewhere I can feel safe

And end my holy war

I'm tryna keep my faith

Verse 2: Kelly Price & Choir

So why send oppression, not blessings?

Why, oh, why'd you do me wrong? (More)

You persecute the weak

Because it makes you feel so strong (Safe)

Don't have much strength to fight

So I look to the light (War)

To make these wrongs turn right

Head up high, I look to the light

Hey, 'cause I know that you'll make everything alright

And I know that you'll take good care of your child

Oh, no longer am afraid of the night

'Cause I, I look to the light

Bridge: Chance the Rapper

When they come for you, I will shield your name

I will field their questions, I will feel your pain

No one can judge

They don't, they don't know

They don't know

Verse 3: Chance the Rapper

Foot on the Devil's neck 'til it drifted Pangaea

I'm moving all my family from Chatham to Zambia

Treat the demons just like Pam

I mean, I fuck with your friends, but damn, Gina

I been this way since Arthur was anteater

Now they wanna hit me with the woo-wap, the bam

Tryna snap photos of familia

My daughter look just like Sia, you can't see her

You can feel the lyrics, the spirit coming in braille

Tubman of the underground, come and follow the trail

I made Sunday Candy, I'm never going to hell

I met Kanye West, I'm never going to fail

He said, "Let's do a good ass job with Chance 3

I hear you gotta sell it to snatch the Grammy"

Let's make it so free and the bars so hard

That it ain't one gosh darn part you can't tweet"

This is my part, nobody else speak

This is my part, nobody else speak

This little light of mine, glory be to God, yeah

I'ma make sure that they go where they can't go

If they don't wanna ride, I'ma still give 'em raincoats

Know what God said when he made the first rainbow

Just throw this at the end if I'm too late for the intro, uh

I'm just having fun with it, you know that a nigga was lost

I laugh in my head 'cause I bet that my ex looking back like a pillar of salt, uh

'Cause they'll flip the script on your ass like Wesley and Spike

You cannot mess with the light, look at lil' Chano from 79th

Chorus: Kanye West, Kanye West & Choir

We on an ultralight beam

We on an ultralight beam

This is a God dream

This is a God dream

This is everything (Yes, God, Hallelujah)

Everything

Post-Chorus: The-Dream, The-Dream & Choir

I'm tryna keep my faith (Yes, Jesus; and that's it)

But I'm looking for more

Somewhere I can feel safe

And end my holy war

Bridge: Kirk Franklin

Father, this prayer is for everyone that feels they're not good enough

This prayer's for everybody that feel that they're too messed up

For everyone that feels they've said, "I'm sorry" too many times

You can never go too far when you can't come back home again

That's why I need

Outro: Choir

Faith, more

Safe, war
