unsure of what the balance held

i touched my belly overwhelmed

by what i had been chosen to perform

but then an angel came on 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 carreer they said

"lauryn baby use your head"

but instead i choose to use my heart

Now the joy of my heart is in zion

now thw joy of my heart is in zion

how bwautiful if nothing more

tnah to wait at zion's door

i've never been in love like this before

now lwt me pray to keep you from

the perils that surely come

see life for you my prince has just begun

amd i thank you for choosing me

to come trhough unto life to be

a beautiful reflections of his grace

for i know that a gift so great

is only one god could create and i'm reminded everytime i see your face

that the joy of my world is in zion

now the joy of my world is in zion

marching marching marching to zion

marcvhing marching

marching marching marching to zion

beautiful beautiful zion
