Yah Mo B There Lyrics
[Verse 1: James Ingram]
Heavenly Father watchin’ us fall
We take from each other and give nothing at all
Well, it’s a doggone shame but never too late for change
So if your luck runs low, just reach out and call His name
His name

[Chorus: James Ingram & Michael McDonald]
Yah Mo B there
Yah Mo B there
Yah Mo B there
Yah Mo B there
Whenever you call

[Verse 2: Michael McDonald]
Never be lonely, lost in the night
Just run from the darkness, lookin’ for the light
‘Cause it’s a long hard road that leads to a brighter day, hey
Don’t let your heart grow cold, just reach out and call His name
His name

[Chorus: James Ingram & Michael McDonald]
Yah Mo B there
Yah Mo B there
Yah Mo B there
Yah Mo B there
Yah Mo B there (Yah Mo B there)
Yah Mo B there (Whenever you call)
Yah Mo B there (Yeah, yeah)
Yah Mo B there

[Bridge: James Ingram & Michael McDonald]
(Yah will B there) You can count on it, brother
‘Cause we’re all just finding our way
(Travelin’ through time) People got to keep pushing on
No matter how many dreams slip away
Yah will B there

[Verse 1: James Ingram & Michael McDonald]
Well, it’s a doggone shame but never too late for change
So when your luck runs low, just reach out and call His name
Just call His name

[Chorus: James Ingram & Michael McDonald]
Yah Mo B there (Yah B there)
Yah Mo B there (When you need a friend)
Yah Mo B there (There to catch you when you fall)
Yah Mo B there (Hoo!)
Yah Mo B there (Yah B there)
Yah Mo B there (Whenever you call, whenever you call)
Yah Mo B there (Yah, Yah Mo B there)

A Song And A message/ Ooh Child

While watching a T.V. Show, through out the episode this song kept playing in the background. It was soothing, and of course knowing the song it was easy to sing along with. Letting the words fill my thoughts, once again I could hear this song as if my Heavenly Father was singing to encourage me, and I did need the encouragement with the waiting process of my disability case. Back to the song. Its’ soothing music and encouraging words, it continues to play on in my mind.

Life in general is not easy. Yes there are some whom seem to have been born with a silver spoon, but even they have their problems, we just don’t see them. Not everyone is abused but many are. Scripture tells us to count it all joy when we face various trials and tribulations. Jesus told us the world was going to hate us, not because of who we are but WHO is in us. With the chaos and hatred being world wide, I thought we could all use some encouragement that one day things will be better. His Light will drive away the darkness, there will be no more pain, suffering, or tears. We won’t get sick or die. How can this be? We will be in HIS kingdom, where none of these things exist. Some day things will be brighter!

James 1:2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds,

Matthew 10:22 You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.

Matthew 24:9 “Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

John 15:18-20 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

Last Dance A Song And A Message

I was listening to the song, ‘Last Dance’, recorded by Donna Summer. The verse ‘I need you by me, beside me to guide me, to hold me, to scold me, because when I am bad I am so so bad’. Spoke to me. I need God, I need HIM to guide me through this life. I need HIM to hold me and correct me because I have sinned and without HIM there is nothing good in me. HE is my only chance for true love.

[Verse]
Last dance
Last chance for love
Yes, it’s my last chance
For romance tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
I need you by me
Beside me to guide me
To hold me
To scold me
‘Cause when I’m bad, I’m so, so bad

[Chorus]
So, let’s dance the last dance
Let’s dance the last dance
Let’s dance this last dance tonight

Last dance
Last chance for love

[Chorus]

Let’s dance the last dance
Let’s dance the last dance tonight

[Bridge]
Yeah
Oh, oh

All that I ask is that you dance with me
Dance with me
