  • Take me to the king
    I don't have much to bring
    My heart is torn in pieces
    It's my offering
    Take me to the king

    Truth is I'm tired
    Options are few
    I'm trying to pray
    But where are You?
    I'm all churched out
    Hurt and abused
    I can't fake
    What's left to do?

    Truth is I'm weak
    No strength to fight
    No tears to cry
    Even if I tried
    But still my soul
    Refuses to die, mm-hmm
    One touch will change my life

    Take me to the king
    I don't have much to bring
    My heart's torn into pieces
    It's my offering

    Lay me at the throne
    Leave me there alone
    To gaze upon Your glory
    And sing to You this song
    Please take me to the king

    Truth is it's time
    To stop playing these games
    We need a word
    For the people's pain

    So Lord speak right now
    Let it fall like rain
    Oh yeah, we're desperate
    We're chasing after You, oh

    No rules, no religion
    I've made my decision
    To run to You
    The healer that I need

    Take me to the king
    Don't have much to bring
    My heart's torn to pieces
    It's my offering

    Lay me at the throne
    Leave me there alone
    To gaze upon Your glory
    And to sing to You this song

    Take me to the

    Lord we're in the way
    We keep making mistakes (the glory)
    The glory is not for us
    It's all for You

    Come on, come on

    Take me to the king
    I don't have much to bring
    My heart's torn to pieces
    It's my offering

    Lay me at the throne
    Leave me there alone
    To gaze upon Your glory
    And sing to You this song

    Take me to the king
    Take me to the king
    Take me to the king Writer/s: Kirk Franklin

  • "my Soul Fending For The Lord's Love And Guidance" from Fort Wayne IndianaWow I didn't know that Kirk Franklin made that songTake Me To The King....The words that is written for this song is so meaningful !!! The Lord was with you every step of the way and writhing these words for a beautiful spirit Tamela Mann you have such a beautiful voiceBeautiful....My opinion is that there's alot of GOD'S Gifted spirits/souls that are not using their gift /talent alot of GOD'S creation fell off the lighted path And most of GOD'S children are followers and. In my opinion most of us don't know who they are ...and GOD!! We need GOD for ever breathe that. We really need more messenger that works for are Lord Jesus Christ Thanks for obeying are heavenly Father...is there any way I can get both of y'all CDs. Kirk and Tamela?
