By Andre Waring What would You have us to do? When our money is funny and our change is strange What would You have us to do? When Your Home no longer feels like home and The ones who said they loved you shun you, When our friends and family are all gone And we no longer feel like going on What would You have us to do? I know You say love those who hurt you and Pray for those who curse you, but I still ask You: What would you have us to do? In the midst of all the confusion and The enemy hard at work We softly hear You say: “Trust me” So we trust You Lord with all our hearts and We lean not to our own understanding but Lord we ask You: What would You have us to do? Although it had taken some time for each of us to get here Now we can all finally rest Because all you wanted us to do was simply Manifest

Dedications from the Brothers of MANIFEST
Leroy Davis
Thank you Lord, for the countless blessings that you extend daily! Thank you Lord, for blessing me with both a family and a wonderful group of brothers who continually challenge me to strengthen my walk with Christ. My prayer for this project and my life is that the body of Christ will be edified and that lives will be transformed.

Josh Devine
To my mother Dwan Devine, My Grandmother Christine Devine and E.B.C.

Jonathan Hicks
I thank God for constantly demonstrating that He loves me. I know He loves me because he has allowed me the joy of being married to Christy DeBoe Hicks, a source of incomparable encouragement and love; because He has allowed me to experience the joy of being the father of Lindsay Hicks, a constant source of joy; because He has provided me the pure delight of singing and ministering with a group of incredible brothers who are family to me. Most of all, I thank God for offering me purpose -- and perspective. May this project fulfill the purpose that God intends.

Ian Jones
To my family, and especially mom and dad, thank you for the love and dedication you've always given. No matter where I am or what I'm doing, you've always believed and supported. To my friends in Maine, Ghana, and around the world, thank you for being you. Too many special people to mention here, but just know how much you mean to me.

And finally, to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ: Your grace and mercy mean more to me than words can express. This project is all about you

Augustus Sanders
I'd first like to dedicate this work to the Father from whence it came for without his Holy Spirit not a note could be sung not a song could be written. To God All The Glory! I'd also like to dedicate this move of God to my Mom Patricia A. Sanders who gave me the greatest gift of all when she introduced me to Christ as a child. I also want to thank my Aunt Acelia who taught me how important it is to continuously worship the Lord in thought and action. I especially want to thank my lovely wife Sharon and my beautiful daughter, Latobia, who love me despite of not because of. Last but not least I want to Thank My Brothers of Manifest who dare to believe what God can do and what he continues to do. One Love, Silkenstein

I want to also thank all the people who have quietly planted a financial seed into this Move of God; may the Lord open up the windows of heaven and pour out a tremendous blessing into your lives.

Dante Smith
First and foremost I would like the biggest dedication to go to God. Secondly, my family and friends. I would also like to shout out my grandmother who passed when I was 11 and my uncle who passed last year in 2009. Also my home church, the Emmanuel Baptist Church, and the congregation. I would like to single out Shareka Newton, Rev Anthony Trufant and Jocelyn Mann. And, of course, to all my good brothers of Manifest. Thank you.
