This song is dedicated to all of you who have been working in the vineyard for the Lord for what seems like a lifetime.
You have dreamed and you’ve worked towards things that you’ve wanted to accomplish for yourself.
But somehow your biggest goals always seem to be just out of your reach.
But the Lord told me to tell you He knows who you are.
Yes, He’s seen your work and He’s also seen your tears.
And He wants you to know that you are not forgotten.
He’s here to reward you for all your faithfulness.
For He said in His word if you will delight yourself in Him, He will give you the desires of your heart.
In other words, not only will He give you what you need, but He promised to give you whatever you want.
So don’t get discouraged. So don’t give up.
Hang in there and prepare yourself for your blessing. It’s your time now.

Leon
You know it doesn’t make much sense
There ought to be a law against
Anyone who takes offense
At a day in your celebration
There ought to be a law against
Anyone who takes offense
At a day in your celebration
Daniel
’cause we all know in our minds
That there ought to be a time
That we can set aside
To show just how much we love you
That we can set aside
To show just how much we love you
Robert
And I’m sure you would agree
What could fit more perfectly
Than to have a world party on the day you came to be
What could fit more perfectly
Than to have a world party on the day you came to be

I just never understood
How a man who died for good
Could not have a day that would
Be set aside for his recognition
How a man who died for good
Could not have a day that would
Be set aside for his recognition
Daniel
Because it should never be
Just because some cannot see
The dream as clear as he
That they should make it become an illusion
Just because some cannot see
The dream as clear as he
That they should make it become an illusion

And we all know everything
That he stood for time will bring
For in peace, our hearts will sing
Thanks to Martin Luther King

The time is overdue
For people like me and you
Who know the way to truth
Is love and unity to all God’s children

It should be a great event
And the whole day should be spent
In full remembrance
Of those who lived and died for the oneness of all people
And the whole day should be spent

So let us all begin
We know that love can win
Let it out, don’t hold it in
Sing it loud as you can
