I hear old folks say

God will make a way

He fights every enemy

He’ll reveal what’s meant to be

I hear old folks say

An answered prayer

Shows God is there

He’ll turn everyone around

Put everyone on solid ground

I hear old folks say

We’ll gain strength

By talking with God at length

His encouraging word

Deserves to be heard

I hear old folks say

Our divine purpose

Is lying at the surface

We can build our dreams

Until we burst at the seams

I hear old folks say

Our daily journey

Is meant just for us only

God will fill every chapter

With joy and laughter

I hear old folks say

They hold their faith close

Cause faith matters most

God will set our path

Without unleashing His wrath

I hear old folks say

God will change our name

Then remove our shame

We must ignore our naysayers

As we say our prayers

I hear old folks say

We can start over again

Cause with faith we’ll win

We can survive any storm

We can break every norm

I hear old folks say

In heaven above

We’ll find true love

We’ll receive perfect peace

Our hearts won’t release

I hear old folks say

We’ll see what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

In every way

I hear old folks say
