Louise Nelson Poet Ballad

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU CAME TO DO

Jesus came to preach the gospel 
to spread the Word of God 
to let the people know oppressive behavior 
comes not from the heart 

I don't know what you came to do 
but I came to take a stand
for I've been delivered and empowered 
by the blood of the Son of Man 

I now embrace the resurrection power 
and with faith I'll work it out 
to be the change in the world I want to see 
and through Christ make it come about 

I don't know what you came to do
but I came to take a stand 
for I've been delivered and empowered 
by the blood of the Son of Man 

I was created to be free 
and not a prisoner of any man 
for I'm a child of the Heavenly King 
and for me He has a plan.
as poverty is not my destiny 
and homelessness ain't my goal 
and like Jesus I came to change the world 
to take back from oppressors control 

I don't know what you came to do 
but I came to battle and fight
to no longer sit in complacency 
to the challenge the status quo outright 

I don't know what you came to do 
but I came to take a stand 
for I've been delivered and empowered 
by the blood of the Son of Man 

I'm putting the devil on notice 
I'm giving hope to the oppressed 
so that our situations and circumstances 
can now be addressed 

I don't know what you came to do 
but I came to spread the gospel of Christ 
to let my enemies know 
that I'll now lead an abundant Life 

yes, the battle will be long and protracted 
and I'm in for the long haul 
as I don't know what you came to do 
but I came to tear down strongholds
