Mandisa - Born For This Lyrics

Feels like I've been holding my breath
Trying to still my restless heart
Everything hangs on my next step
Finding my nerve, playing my part

I found shelter underneath His crown
Found favor inside His eyes
Rock this boat and I just might drown
Honesty seemed to come with a price

There's a time to hold your tongue
Time to keep your head down
There's a time but it's not now

Sometimes you gotta go uninvited
Sometimes you gotta speak
When you don't have the floor

Sometimes you gotta move
When everybody else says you should stay
No way, no, not today

You gotta ask if you want an answer
Sometimes you gotta stand apart from the crowd
Long before your heart could run the risk
You were born for this, hey
You were born for this

I'm leaning on the ones before me
My father's father's dreams
I'm standing on the top of their shoulders
Calling the One, delivering me

There's a time to hold your tongue
Time to keep your head down
There's a time but it's not now

Sometimes you gotta go uninvited
Sometimes you gotta speak
When you don't have the floor

Sometimes you gotta move
When everybody else says you should stay
No way, no, not today

You gotta ask if you want an answer
Sometimes you gotta stand apart from the crowd
Long before your heart could run the risk
You were born for this, hey
You were born for this

One step, one move, born to trust You
Made to lay my life before You

So I gotta go uninvited
Sometimes you gotta speak
When you don't have the floor

Sometimes you gotta move
When everybody else says you should stay
No way, no, not today

You gotta ask if you want an answer
Sometimes you gotta stand apart from the crowd
Long before your heart could run the risk
You were born for this
You were born for this

You were born for this
You were born for this
You were born for this
You were born for this
