Unsure of what the balance held I touched my belly overwhelmed By what I had chosen to perform But then an angel came down 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 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** [x2] How beautiful if nothing more Than to wait at Zion's door I've never been in love like this before Now let my 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 be A beautiful reflection of his grace For I know that a gift so great If only one God could create And I'm reminded every time I see your face That the joy of my life is in Zion **Chorus** [3] Marching, Marching, marching to Zion Marching, marching Marching, Marching, marching to Zion Beautiful, beautiful Zion [Repeat to end of song] |
