Ain't nothin' gonna ever change Till you make that change (3x) Your situation will remain As long as you remain the same If you wanna see a change You gotta start within
2.
Some of you don't even know that I am your God, your Father who is concerned with every place you go whether it be high or low I know every twist and turn where you're gonna cruise and where you'll swerve and where you're gonna slam your brakes So even when you make mistakes I love you (8x) Child of Mine you have a choice That is how I made you, I won't force you to listen and obey My voice but drama makes a lot of noise (yes it does) But I will stay in hot pursuit sending you My soul until I win you no matter how long it takes Even when you make mistakes I love you I love you (sing it) I love you (yes I do) I love you My child, I love you And there's absolutely, absolutely Absolutely nothing you can do about it Absolutely nothing you can do about it Absolutely nothing you can do to change it Absolutely nothing you can do to change My mind about you Absolutely nothing you can do to change My heart toward you Absolutely nothing you can do to change My stance toward you Your lying won't change My mind Your cheating won't change My mind Repeat offenses won't change Me Your religion won't even change Me Yeah I said it (2x) I might let you go the way of the prodigal But you're still Mine, and what's Mine is yours Some of you are saying how can that be That's real love (real love) and real father's love (real love) And that's what makes me God Sing it children Absolutely nothing you can do (about it) Absolutely nothing you can do (receive My love) Absolutely nothing you can do

Detour 02:40
This is dedicated to all my brothers and sisters kind of lost on the road of life Thought you had it down, knew what you knew Goin' left but LIFE made you turn right Your convictions are chunky but only part of the cookie There's a whole lot more to bite Thought you'd make it by day Now you need high beams cuz you're stuck in the thick of the night But it's alright cuz it's Just a detour You're still on your way to the place God wants you to be Just a detour You're still on your way to your destiny I'm not sayin' God designed it or is in any way behind it I just trust that he knows all things The windy roads of your decisions, wrong turns and near collisions get no derision from Daddy, he just brings a solution to the problem if you listen Why don't you pull over for a bit And don't you worry 'bout them schedules or them delays they call devils You gon' get there when you need to. This is Just a detour You're still on your way to the place God wants you to be Just a detour You're still on your way to your destiny Now I don't have all the answers if any Where your detour's gonna lead or if the end is in sight But I believe God loves you way too much to misguide you Trust his love and he'll make sure that you arrive He knows where you'll be happy and how to get you there You're on your way
