COMMISSIONED
"Be An Example"
(Anson Dawkins / Fred Hammond)

Be the one

Brother, there is something we must say
And we need to do it know man to man
Can I talk to you?
For years we really tried to find a way
But I think we've found a hook you just might understand
Yes, we do

I know that you just said
[?]
One thing you can't forget
Somebody's watching you

So try to be an example
Push yourself beyond the limit
Give it up
You got to keep moving
You got to keep pushing
Your love for God will prove to see you through
Be and example, you got to be an example

Brothers, we encourage you to stand
And we really want to hear what you have to say, yes, we do
All we're really trying to do is lend a hand
Because we really do believe it's the Christian way, yes we do, no doubt about it

We know you might be tired
Had all you could take
We're not trying to bring you down
We try to motivate

So try to be an example
Push yourself beyond the limit
Here we go
You got to keep moving
You got to keep pushing
Your love for God will come to see you through
Be and example, we are trying our best to be an example

Be an example
Push yourself beyond the limit
You got to keep moving
You got to keep trying
You got to be strong, somebody's counting on you
Be an example

We know you might be tired
Had all you could take
We're not trying to bring you down
We just try to motivate

Motivate
Give it up

You got to be an example
Push yourself beyond the limit
Come on, come on
You got to keep moving
You got to keep pushing
Your love of God will come to see you through
Be and example, we are trying our best to be an example

Be an example
Push yourself beyond the limit
Come on, come on
You got to keep moving
You got to keep trying
You got to be strong, somebody's counting on you
Be an example

Come on, come on
Doesn't mean [?] with you
Stand up on your feet
'Cause this is what you gotta be
You gotta be the one they come to when they need a helping hand
Be the one they look to when they want to see a man
Stand up and be the one to help when somebody's lost their way
Be the one they call on when they need someone to pray
Let me encourage you
Stand up on your feet
This is what you got to be
Be the one they look to when they're feeling down and out
Be the one to lend your hand and help them out
You gotta be the one they come to when they need a helping hand
Be the one they look to when they want to see a man
Be the one to help when somebody's lost their way
Be the one they call on when they need someone to pray
Be the one
