Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know a place, ain't nobody cryin'
I know a place y'all, ain't nobody lyin'
There's no lyin' to the masses
Ain't nobody begging to be separate
I know a place, everybody's smilin', yeah, smilin'

Oh, you take me
(I'll take you there)
C'mon now, let me take you there
(I'll take you there)

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
(I'll take you there)
Oh, let me take you there, let me take you there
(I'll take you there)

When I wake up in the mornin'
And I'm gazing through my mind
I've been searchin' for salvation now
Jesus is right on time, yeah, yes, He is

He says to walk with Me, yes, He does
He says to talk with Me
Oh, you got to, you got to have faith in Me
And all I want to do, all I wanna do

Oh, you take me, alright
(I'll take you there)
Oh, hey, hey, yeah, yeah
(I'll take you there)

Oh, let me take you there, let me take you there, yeah
(I'll take you there)
Let me take you to that place, alright
(I'll take you there)

I'll take you there
I'll take you there




I'll take you there
