(Ready?)
One, two, three, four

This is it, here I stand
I'm the light of the world
I'll feel grand
Got this love, I can feel
And I know, yes for sure
It is real

And it feels as though I've seen your face a thousand times
And you said you really know me too yourself
And I know that you have got addicted with your eyes
But you say you're gonna leave it for yourself
Oh
I never heard a single word about you
Falling in love wasn't my plan (my plan)
I never thought that I would be your lover
Come on, babe, just understand

This is it
I can say
I'm the light of the world
Run away
We can feel
This is real
Every time I'm in love that I heal

And I feel as though I've known you since a thousand years
And you tell me that you've seen my face before
And you said to me you don't want me hanging around
Many times, wanna do it here before
Oh yeah
I never heard a single word about you
Falling in love wasn't my plan (my plan)
I never thought that I would be your lover
Come on, babe, just understand

This is it
I can feel
I'm the light of the world
This is real
Feel my song
We can say
And I tell you can lead that way

And I feel as though I've known you for a thousand years
And you said you saw my face yourself
And you said want to go with me all the while
And I know that it's really for myself
Oh yeah
I never heard a single word about you
Falling in love wasn't my plan (my plan)
I never thought that I would be your lover
Come on, please, dear understand (understand)

I never heard a single word about you
Falling in love wasn't my plan (my plan)




I never thought that I would be your lover
Come on, dear, please understand

Souls of humans must get saved:
How SALVATION work?
Psalms 145:18
The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
Psalms 55:16
As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
Psalms 18:3
I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
Isaiah 55:6
Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
Psalms 99:6
Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.
Psalms 116:13
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.
Psalms 86:5
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.



Romans 9:11
(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)


FAITH which save us, is found in that moment when we dare to CALL...

Imagine a mother watching all of her sons performing on stage and the whole audience went crazy....OMG...the feeling so overwhelmed

@TheRaahulgolchha

That’s the first thing that came to my mind when i saw Katherine all clapping and happy in this video. A mother who had longed to see her grown up boys perform together once again in her lifetime.

@HypePerformanceGroup

After so long too I know they warmed her heart so much

@dwaynebeamon5105

I heard her say that they don't give him this without him performing with his brothers and they all agreed me personally I'm a bigger j5 fan but that's some BS although Mike had his legal troubles at the time and was tarnished
