To Zion Lyrics

To Zion lyrics

Unsure of what the balance held

 I touched my belly overwhelmed

 By what I had been chosen to perform

 But then an angel came one day

 Told me to kneel down and pray

 For unto me a man child would be born

 Woe this crazy circumstance

 I knew his life deserved a chance

 But everybody told me to be smart

 Look at your career they said,

 "Lauryn, baby use your head"

 But instead I chose to use my heart

 

 Now the joy of my world is in Zion

 Now the joy of my world is in Zion

 

 How beautiful if nothing more

 Than to wait at Zion's door

 I've never been in love like this before

 Now let me pray to keep you from

 The perils that will surely come

 See life for you my prince has just begun

 And I thank you for choosing me

 To come through unto life to be

 A beautiful reflection of his grace

 For I know that a gift so great

 Is only one God could create

 And I'm reminded every time I see your face

 

 That the joy of my world is in Zion

 Now the joy of my world is in Zion

 Now the joy of my world is in Zion

 Now the joy of my world is in Zion

 

 Marching, marching, marching to Zion

 Marching, marching

 Marching, marching, marching to Zion

 Beautiful, beautiful Zion

 [repeat to end of song]
