"911"
(feat. TD Jakes)

[Daughter:] Hello 
[Kirk:] Hey, it's me, Kirk, I need to
speak to Bishop 
[Daughter:] Sure, hold on...

[Jakes:] Hello...
[Kirk:] Hey... I got some stuff I need to
talk to you about 
Lately, pastor I've been...having all these crazy
kind of dreams 
It's hard to sleep, I can't eat...scary, you know

[Jakes:] I know what you mean 
[Kirk:] I mean, every since that Tuesday,
seems like life's just getting real strange 
[Jakes:] I hear ya 
Anthrax, terrorist attacks and... I ain't even
trying to get on no plane 
[Jakes:] I feel ya 
[Kirk:] ...and you know when I try to
pray, there's a voice that telling that God's not
real 
[Jakes:] You know that's just the enemy 
[Kirk:] Yea, but you ain't feelin' me 
[Jakes:] No son, I know just know you
feel...
See, just because I preach and teach don't mean I
don't get scared sometimes 
[Kirk:] yea, whatever, but you T.D. Jakes 
[Jakes:] Well, then I don't make
mistakes...
[Kirk:] Well...
[Jakes:] Now, let me tell you what's on my
mind...
When your smile is gone (He cares) 
[Kirk:] Yea, but I feel so alone (He's
there and...) 
[Jakes:] Although, your heart is heavy,
God said: (every burden I will bear) 
[Kirk:] See, but you don't know my (my
pain) 
And I'm getting so sick and tired of all (this
rain) 
I just got laid off, and to top it off the rent's
due, so tell me what I got to gain? 
[Jakes:] Well, see, trials come to make
(you strong) 
Storms won't last (last long) 
[Kirk:] But how can I trust God in all
this mess? 
[Jakes:] Well, see that's the reason for
the song 
See, wherever you go there's one thing ya got to
know 
God, is right there by your side (weeping may
endure for a night) 
And he told me to tell you everything
(everything's gon' be alright) 

So thank you for calling...it's always good to
hear from you 
[Kirk:] yea, but...
[Jakes:] But I gotta go now 
[Kirk:] wait a minute...
[Jakes:] I got another call on line 2 
[Kirk:] But I ain't through 

[Kirk:] See I'm sick and tired of all
these church folk talking about stuff ain't as
bad as it seems 
See, y'all don't feel my pain...
[Jakes:] I don't have pain...? 
[Kirk:] I don't see how ...you on the
cover on Time magazine 
[Jakes:] See, but you're looking at now
and you don't know how I struggled and what I've
been through 
[Kirk:] Yea, whatever...
[Jakes:] Now, you crossed the line...
[Kirk:] I'm just speakin' my mind 
[Jakes:] O.K. so let me speak mine, too
(Hmmmmmm) 
I've made some mountains, I've seen some valleys,
I've even had to cry sometimes 
Like when I lost my mother 
[Kirk:] Your mother? 
[Jakes:] My mother: 
[Kirk:] I'm sorry...
[Jakes:] No son...that's fine: ...see life
is full of ups and downs but God said 
(the storm won't last long) 
[Kirk:] But how'd you make it through? 
[Jakes:] Boy, I thought you knew...it was
His (love that kept me strong) 
When your smile is gone (He cares) 
[Kirk:] But I feel so alone (He's there
and...) 
[Jakes:] Although, your heart is heavy,
God said...(every burden I will bear) 
[Kirk:] yea, but see...y'all don't feel
(my pain) 
And I'm getting very sick and tired of all this
(this rain) 
Just got laid off, and to top it off the rent's
due, so tell me, Bishop, what I gotta gain? 
[Jakes:] Didn't I tell you trials come to
make (you strong) 
And those old storms won't (last long) 
[Kirk:] How can I trust God in the midst
of all this mess? 
[Jakes:] See that's the reason for this
song 
Wherever you go there's something ya got to know
(God still cares) 
(weeping may endure for a night) 
And he told me to tell you (everything's gon' be
alright) 

[Kirk:] Thank you pastor 
Jakes: Any time...
[Kirk:] I think I can make it now...just
tell me what I need to do 
[Jakes:] Just pray this prayer with me...
Say: Father (Father) forgive me (forgive me) I'm
sorry (I'm sorry) 
Please help me (help me) I love you (I love you)
I need you (I need you) 
Hold me (hold me) Jesus (Jesus) 
My heart (my heart) my soul (my soul) please take
(please take) control (control) 
Right now (Now) now (now) now (now) (right now) 

[Jakes:] When you ain't got no smile (he
cares) 
[Kirk:] and even when you feel so alone
(he's there and...) 
[Jakes:] Although your heart is heavy, God
said (every burden I will bear) 
[Kirk:] And even in the midst of all ya
(pain) 
And when you're sick and tired of all the rain
(this rain) 
Remember that the rain won't last always...and in
Christ Jesus, you got so much to gain 
[Jakes:] You see your trials come to make
you (strong) 
And the storms won't last (too long) 
[Kirk:] Remember my brother, my
sister...it's only temporary 
[Jakes:] See that's the reason for this
song 
Wherever you go 
[Kirk:] There's something you've got to
know 
[Jakes:] God is still there (weeping may
endure for a night) 
[Kirk:] And told me to tell you
(everthing's gon' be alright)
