There was a time when you would come around.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

You\u2019re face would shine with love unbound<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The dove of peace would fly your way.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

You fed him virtues every day.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Hallelujah. <\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Then something happened in your life.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Something that brought in major strife.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Like they tied you in a kitchen chair.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Then force fed you till you didn\u2019t care.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Hallelujah.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

You were fed on the ways of the world.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Your lips grew bright, your hair curled.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

All that mattered no longer did.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The sins of the world kept you hid.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Hallelujah.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I have faced the wicked ways.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They once tried to draw me away.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I fought back with all the armor.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t want to be a charmer.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Hallelujah.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Hallelujah, hallelujah. Hallelujah, hallelujah.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Haven\u2019t you wanted something more?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Once before you were at the door.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Knock once and you can come in.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Walk away from the world of sin.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Hallelujah.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

More than one has been led astray.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Most are sorry for that day.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Few say they\u2019re sorry, then turn away.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I hope you haven\u2019t missed that day.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Hallelujah.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The dove is wounded and cannot fly.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He needs your love to get him by.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

You can do it, if you try.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t end up rejected and cry.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Hallelujah.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He is there. Always waiting for you.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

His love will see you through.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Trust in Him rather than worldly things.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re back your heart will sing.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Hallelujah.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Hallelujah, hallelujah. Hallelujah, Hallelujah.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
