My God is healer, turn the bravest into kneelers, turn to heartless into feelers, turn the rowdy into squealers. Turn a stealer to a priest, turn your hunger into feast. Turn confusion into peace, uncertainty to beliefs. So I won't give up, cus he died to save me from you. And save me from myself, so he's the one I run to. I want to glorify his name, cus he's the one who. Truly Knew the plans of the father, and made em come true. And all you've done is hurt his people, so deceitful.. But in his name you run away, cus on the cross he defeat you. and won the world back, though it was given to you. So it belongs to him even though you did what you do. Your a perfect example, of a cheater a fake. And this here is an example of how my leader is great. You hope to keep me down with white lies. But Ima brush it off, get back up again and tell you nice try. . I see you satan, just waiting for me to fall. But I'm focused on the King, I ain't worried at all. And when I look up and I see that cross, I remember I'm forgiven I ain't worried at all. My God is king, he's the Lord of All things. He's the reason that my spirit cheers and my heart sings. So how can they say he was weak? There ain't a thing in this world that won't bow to his feet, he is above all. I know your mission, producing satan's inventions, to keep everyone at distance from the truth, and make em listen. To everything that you feed em in music and television. Your part of the reason why they don't see purpose in existence. yea, I'm here, but this isn't where I'm staying. I'm praying that one day I'll be souring high like a plane. The game your playing ain't going to work, call me insane. But when he comes for his people, you'll be bursting in flames. For being the distributor of work of the wicked ruler, But we can give you up for his kingdom, there could be nothing truer. So no matter how much you might lie. I see the truth, so I'll laugh at your illusions saying nice try. I see you world, and the lies that you cause. But I'm focused on the King, I ain't worried at all. And when I look up and I see that cross, I remember I'm forgiven I ain't worried at all. Verse 3 My God is mighty, think I'm bluffing homie try me. You'll see that I'm here today cus he's always standing by me. To remind me, that he saved me I'd say it was perfect timing. Cus my ways were kind of selfish and my acts were kind of grimy. I was dying denying my Lord, Now I see his Truth is something that I can't ignore. He gave his life up, to pay the price I can't afford. So it is in him, my life was restored, turn to him and let him save Yours! You think you phase me, yea at times life's hard. But I'm focused on the King, I ain't worried at all. And when I look up and I see that cross, I remember I'm forgiven I ain't worried at all.

Lust 02:58
Every time you call, I can't help but to reply. Like an obsessive ex who doesn't know how to say goodbye. Your touch and the feeling you give for a moment feels sweeter than candy but sadly your just destructive, and deceiving, I know, yet feels like I'm willing to turn, from what I believe in, to spend a night with you, cus my body says that your pleasing. But truth is I'm bleeding, When I don't worship God, than I become something like a heathen. And even though, I sharpen my sword, I'm feeling beating in this battle, I'm fighting against these demons. dang. I know I need to constantly kill the flesh, The adrenaline you give it, has it screaming that your the best. It's untrue, but I can't put it to death they told me this addiction, is similar to being addicted to meth. Crazy. don't want to be that guy in the end. That's why me and you could never be friends, lust. That's why me and you could never be friends, lust. we could never be friends, lust. I love you but I hate you, your so bittersweet. Tell you not to call, but when you do I'm feeling weak. Trying to make up excuses to justify my behavior, but ain't no justification for crucifying my Savior. Worshiping creation, and not the creator. Says I am the father, but seems like I prefer a Darth Vader. feeling like a trader, cus your not true. Yet even as I think about you now, almost all of me wants you. I must have something for you, if your the one I'm writing this song to. And God still says it's him I belong too. I know this is beyond true, and he is beyond you. Bible calls you vomit, your even lower than dog food. But I must be low, if I chase you, every time you go, I'm trusting God to be the owner of my soul . and So, yea my flesh says your a ten. But I haven't gotten over you, so we can't be friends, lust. Haven't gotten over you, we just can't be friends, lust. And my flesh says your a 10, but I haven't gotten over you we just can't be friends. Lust

Stay With Me 02:18
See I grew up in a crazy ghetto, with hooligans and some goons. I use to have a big homie, watched em as he blew smoke to the moon. I tried to be cool but I was, preparing to be in a tomb. I lived in a place, with pain and mistakes, and now I'm covered in wounds! But I was hanging with the o.g's so I was hood right? Trying to mob gangsta's, and slang like I was living the hood life. With flashy cars, thought it was the good life. Only to find out, having everything, brings jealousy, and enemies will wish you a good night. And after the casket closes, do you really know where you go. Go to Heaven or hell , re-incarnate, or do you just decompose? I'm not even sure myself, all I can say is this. I was once trapped in the world, full or rebellion and covered in sin. And before I knew what that was, it was killing me from within. But God saved me, out of his mercy, and he pulled me to him. And now that I'm back home, I never will leave again. Loving my God, as he proclaims in Heaven let the celebration begin. See the, word of the living God says, that everybody is wicked. No matter how good you try to be, it's probably for your own selfishness. Compare yourself to a rapist, so you look like an angel. But compared to Jesus, your probably a demon dressed in a saints robe . So the sacrifice of the lamb, was a death that was obligated. And through his death, our debt with the Father was eliminated. yes, he died and he payed it, resurrected and that means. We are redeemed looked at as clean, and become part of his family. Stay with me, but don't let me loose you. There most certainly is consequences for sin, don't let me confuse you. We're left with permanent scars, not sure if they ever will heal. But you will begin to see his glory, when you live in his will. And all the pain inside, will never amount to God. He is the creator, there's no problem greater, there's nothing that he can't solve So how could I love the world, when my Christ is better. deserving eternal punishment, instead receiving life forever.

Ok they like, man why you listen to that rapper? .ain't nothing but a wanksta, using everybody's beats just to talk about rapture. something about a master, something about disasters. and repenting, I don't have to, whats he trying be a pastor. He talking like he's got an army, AND like they a hazard. but I bet if he came to the hood, he'd get ghost like Casper. Don't tell me your thinking about going to church for answers. You think you'll find a purpose in all those pages and chapters. They warned me bout this Jesus, said my heart he's coming after. But I'm a beast, taming me is like taming a raptor. If I were you, I'd throw that cd out the window. We all know you'll never change, you'll always be the same so. Don't play yourself, what you mean this Jesus person gave himself. No one's gonna save you boy, you can barely save yourself. Tell me how Jesus will take your life and make it well?? If he Loves you, than how come he's down to let you flame in hell. Man you killing me. Talking that stupidity. I talk about the hood and that's why these dudes be feeling me. If you ain't talking money you will never look as real as me. You think you'll ever make it talking topics like a trinity? It's fairy tale, thought up and created very well. Bet they printed books, so they can get a cut from every sale. Don't you think it's foolish how they got em up in every jail. Just a little too late to be trying to get any help. Ok that's when he was like, I listen to this rapper, cus he talks of a master, who could take us down faster than a Green bay packer. He says his name is Jesus, and your heart he could capture. It's said we all have falling, but he is our a catcher. He can split the sea, wake the dead, heal someone of cancer. Went head to head with Satan, and beat em, now that's a gangster. Ain't nothing you could tell me, go ahead call me wanksta. But Jesus holds me down, bro he is my an anchor. I've gone to church a couple times and I heard a couple preachers. Said we're made in God's image so we got all of his features. Love, courage, a mind to the design, but we reject these, everybody's scared to shine. The preacher said we'll all meet the Father when it's time. and Jesus said we should love em with all our Heart, Soul and Mind. No, I ain't perfect, I know I've made a mess. That's why I need a Savior, to save me from my death. The Father sent Jesus, Yes, he knew it was best. He knew the we would kill em, but he still put on some flesh. Left Heaven and he came, just so he can pay our debt. Took the punishment of death, died with his hands stretched. The preacher didn't stop, no he said nevertheless, Three days later our debt is gone, Jesus resurrects. So in Jail, In The Hood, a dark hole in your life. It doesn't matter where, you can always come to Christ.

And I'll never look at them the same, or the things that I use to do. Cus now the holy spirit shows me what I did only kept me away from you. Everyday I feel weak, how can such faithful love be true? You tell me how to live, but I'd rather live the way I'm accustomed to. You give me all that you are, everything , even laid down your own life. Just so you could have my heart, be united with me when it's time for the flight. I owe you my life, everything God, I could never pay you back. For what you did, you took nails in your hands, whips on your naked back. I spat in your face, called you fake, called you many things and still. It was your decision to be crucified, killed at your own will. You were there from the beginning, you held me like a child in your arms. Than the devil came and led me astray, forgetting just who you are. And you would shout and call my name, doing anything to try to bring me back. But I was so intrigued, by the taste of sin, that I got too attached. You tried to bring me peace, shine your light at me, but I hid in the dark. But I thank you for my darkest times, cus what drove me to you was a broken heart. Never Will I Be The Same Since you healed me and free'd me from my pain. It's cus of you that my ways finally have changed. For them life is the same, but for me, I will never be the same. It's not about me no more, got a higher aim. Til I'm gone, I will bring glory to your name, For them, life is the same, but for me, I will never be the same. I know a lot of people that are hurt by other people, and they just won't see. That there isn't anybody in the world, that'll make them feel free. But they looking for the one, cus the one will be as perfect as can be. But since nobody's perfect, except Jesus, no matter who, they just won't be pleased. Idolatry, when your standards are so high, no person could even reach. But God is omnipotent and Loving, there are no high standards that God can't beat. If your too focused on that girl, or too focused on that boy here's what my point is, Every time that they make a mistake, your gonna feel let down and disappointed. But when your eyes, are focused on the son, instead of the one, than you'll see he's so unashamed to Love you, that he hung on a cross in front of everyone, and said it was done. And this is who I cling to, this who I trust, this is who I love. He Loved me even when I yelled at my mom, or sat outside at night doing drugs. And He chose me to be his child, before I really know who he was. You could take my car, take my kicks, take it all, God, your enough! I pray for those who hear about you, but don't really know you. That they will trust in all the good things they hear about you, and choose you be the one they give their soul too. Never Will I Be The Same Since you healed me and free'd me from my pain. It's cus of you that my ways finally have changed. For them life is the same, but for me, I will never be the same. It's not about me no more, got a higher aim. Til I'm gone, I will bring glory to your name, For them life is the same, but for me, I will never be the same.

Now Lot of them chanting started started from the bottom. but their hearts still gone, and that's probably the problem. Drinking every single weekend, late night creeping, Smoke an 8th, feel great, Drizzy Drake on the beat n, Don't get me wrong, yea I'm cut from same cloth. I use to smoke too, trying to ease the pain dog. That was before I knew the God that could save all. Now I see, my whole life I've been brainwashed. I understand that the roads got a bunch of bumps. But most of ya'll be faking, just putting up a front. Life is beating you to death, you ain't a found a Savior. So you just drink yourself to death, them haters. could kiss it, you sipping to relive pain, but throwing up later, than posting up status's, like life couldn't be greater. Something's wrong with the picture. True Joy is found is Christ, don't believe me go ahead and check the scriptures. Ok i started from the bottom, couple dollars in my pocket, dogg, I always had to get it on my own. Now this music thing is poppin, got the girls booty droppin, 15 acres in back of my home. I done smoked 6 grams with the boys, making noise, No lie bro, I was in the zone. I've drank bottles til they emptied, partied with a lot of strippers, got a bunch of pretty girls in my phone. I drive a beemer benz or bently, and I always stay fresh. Got a pool, and a court, and a jet. Real gold on my neck, 20, 000 every check, Traveled every single place, slept with chicks I just met. Done it all, now no matter what I do I'm still bored. I ain't never satisfied, my heart stills want more. Use to Love all my friends, go to church with my fam, Now I'm alone, maybe I've forgotten who I am. Started from the bottom, now I'm chilling at the top. And it still feels empty, so I need a couple shots. In this small world I'm trapped in, I'm askin? Is there something more than what I believed as true satisfaction? Man I really hate to be the one to say it, Wish I could just pray it and witness miracles in the making. Everyone's sick and tired of being sick-sick and tired. Trying to satisfy the heart with other kinda desires. But nothing has filled that void, so they lighting that fire. and everything seems all good, but their soul is getting dryer. than the clothes up in the dryer, Go ahead and call me liar. But you'll always hear the truth, and that's that you need the Messiah. Those who trust in the Lord find strength. So hop on board, because this ship will never sank. And no, I'm not bothered if they're mad when I, Say the sins they think will complete em will never satisfy. Trust me, I don't have to lie, drinking, smoking, and fornicatin. Might be disguised as pleasure, but I know the works of Satan. They hearing this and say I'm absurd, like I'm sort of hatin But I'm safe n, once your thrown in that lake of fire, there's no escapin. Say I'm sick but God says I'm not wrong, see Everyone is evil, read Psalms 53:3 So doesn't matter at the top or at the Bottom, Long as you love God, and you let them know you got em. If you ever want to know him, call on him, he will show. He's the only satisfaction that will ever fill your soul.

She's on the block, sellin Gods temple. They say she's easy, but Im'a keep it simple. Her daddy tell her go, skirts too low, let it show. What she think that she Nun, how she suppose to make the dough. Inside she's screamin, outside she smilin. If he got a couple hundred, back in front is where she wildin. She fills her body, with marijuana smoke. Feeling bomb, please em long, til it's time to go. Money handed to her father, yea she oughta know. She's thinking of her babies, hoping they all will grow.

He knows your suffer so he came to earth and died for you. So that you can see, your family could flee, from all the evil of the world, and finally be free. I know sometimes your breathless. Jesus helps you breath. Your caught in this world's wrecks and Jesus helps you leave. They say if you Love Jesus, they're hypnotizing you. Yet you don't see your whole life the world has lied to you. They said you'd Love the sex, be satisfied with weed. But when your finished with it, find that more of it you need. That's cus what they say, is only meant to blind you. You a slave until you turn to God, and yes it's time too!! She was a just narcotic, smoking chronic, given her body, and baby that's real. Given them dollars to her father, he ain't playing, yea he's willing to kill. Jesus wish's that you would come to him, instead of sin, but your living it still. And you trapped. So maybe you won't.

There's no undercover agents for my Lord, only front line soldiers or get out the war. You say you go hard, you say you rep the streets. You say you gotta it all, yet you feel incomplete.

Tell em that, he's alive and one day he's coming back so we On a mission, until the day we rest, don't you forget who we came here to represent. Represent!(8X)

Dear God, if you can hear me than I hope you do. I really can't remember the last time I sat in silence and spoke to you. Don't think I've ever opened up your great book. But I've posted a couple status's giving you thanks on Facebook. Lord, I need your help, life doesn't make sense. I feel beaten and weak, and can't find it in me to gain strength. My mother just died, God y? Did you have take her from me without even letting me say good bye. I'm searching for hope, but I don't see any. I hate my life, don't want to be here anymore God, please come and get me. Tired of breathing, at times I wonder if this cold heart I've got is still beating, I'm freezing, winter's always the season, I'm in. and I don't see any progress or healing, thinking suicidal thoughts, alone in my car, drinking. I've Been hurt so many times, promises have been broken. I've learned I can't trust no one, and happiness seems so hopeless. I want to trust in you, but I'm not sure how. Will you show me how God? Please, help me, cus I need you now. Yea I've had those days where things go wrong, and everything seems to fall apart. Teach me how to trust in you, my God. Cus only you can make it better. I Trust in you. Lord I trust in you. I trust in you, Lord I trust in you. Dear God, if you can hear me than I hope you do. I really can't remember the last time I sat in silence and spoke to you. But my souls in pain, fear that hope I just won't regain. Nobody else's knows that I go insane. I'm trapped in a storm, with lighting bolts n rain. I'm not in my right mind, I'm searching, hoping, I might find, the key that leads to freedom, but alone it might take a lifetime. Cant do it on my own, I need some help, Lord be my lifeline. Sitting in darkness, I need your truth to see the light shine. Why do things have to be so messed up? I've fallen so many times, that I've grown tired of trying to get up. And Tomorrow morning, I go back to work. It just feels like I'm going no where, so tell me, is this all I'm worth? I'm not religious, God I'm sorry I don't go to church. But the people that I know who go, seem so fake, and what's worst. They say they're loving, but they just look at me funny. I'd rather be who I am, than trying to befriend people who judge me. Can you hear me? Cus I'm weary tell me what to do. If you can really make things better than help me Trust in You. Yea I've had those days where things go wrong, and everything seems to fall apart. Teach me how to trust in you, my God. Cus only you can make it better. I Trust in you. Lord I trust in you. I trust in you, Lord I trust in you. Sometimes I feel alone, and I feel abandoned. But the truth is your always with me that's why I'm still standing. God lately I've made some music, to glorify your name. But I haven't spoken to you and for that I feel ashamed. You said you've got amazing plans for me, and I listened. But things go wrong n, problems, are fogging and clouding my vision. But I'll trust in you forever, even through the stormy weathers. I've made a wreck of my life, only you can make it better. Yea I've had those days where things go wrong, and everything seems to fall apart. Teach me how to trust in you, my God. Cus only you can make it better. I Trust in you. Lord I trust in you. I trust in you, Lord I trust in you.

L-A-Z, Crazy. Eyes on Hov, I ain't talking bout Jay-Z, They Be, Trying hold me back, can't break me, shake me. Empowered by the King, blood washes me clean daily. You on a fast route, straight pacing, hasty. You only get one shot, watch where your aiming. I am for the sky, get high, yea I'm spacing. For God alone, we zone- Zone out, Kb. I'm not afraid, let em finish me, Long as the Christ is exulted. Let his glory diminish me. Everyday, stay praying for humility. Even if it means being bruised by the enemy. Walking through the valley, of the shadow of death. Nothing to fear cus he's here nonetheless. Yes. And If I die, than Heaven is where I rest. Father, accept my spirit, when I Take my last breath. Breastplate on, Helmet On Straight. Boots laced up, we walk by Faith. Let's Go! Let's Go! They can take our lives, kill our flesh, But can't take our Salvation, we welcome death. Let's go! This talent is a gift, but I must manage to have it balanced with the scripts. So that I'm sure that the stuff I hand em is legit. I rep Jesus, so go head and flex, P90X, these rappers getting ripped. It aint even me, who's leaving em beaten. Holy spirit writes my rhymes, so lyrically you could say I'm cheating. Authority given by Him, conquer and deafening, in his name, unashamed, Romans 1:16nin. ugh. Let's set it straight, this lifestyle has no brakes, we press forward steps walked by Faith. Ay, they say Faith is without reason. Yet the reason people are bleeding is cus of lives without Jesus. ugh. you call me blind. But I see you don't see the origin of creation points to intelligent design. And unbelievers mock, still I pay em no mind. I just pay attention to life so it could buy me some time, leggo. Breastplate on, Helmet On Straight. Boots laced up, we walk by Faith. Let's Go! Let's Go! They can take our lives, kill our flesh, But can't take our Salvation, we welcome death. Let's go! Are you ready to take up your cross? Are you ready to take up your cross? Losing your life's not a loss, for the king who bled. He restored us to the Father with the blood that he shed. He could've let our sin destroy us, let us suffer, instead. he took nails in his hands, and thorns on his head. The King Of Kings, Lord of Lords, he is worthy of Praise. Til the day he returns, to save us from the ways. Of this world, and the pain, on the final days. Where the beast will be unleashed, from his cage to feast. Agony in the air, sounds of cries from the mother's. Streets go up in flames, people die and they suffer. You ain't gotta stay behind, you could roll. Follow us, we follow Christ, he'll make sure your good to go. let's go.

Temptations 04:15
I hear them calling me, will I answer? I see them chasing me, will I run from them? Lately I been getting little cold, unaware, without a care. Ice coming from my soul, as if my heart froze. As I chose to walk alone, I'm lost in these dark roads. I'm pretty sure this is not where I wanted to go. Got outta control, knew it should have been a No. But they got so strong, why'd I have to em it grow? It's worst now, cuz it's not like I don't know. But I still give in to them, every time they approach. There's been time's I defeated them.. But even than, they would just keep chasing me, saying that I needed them. I know it's all in the mind, and kinda silly To feel like they're hard to leave and let go of really. oh really? So what's holding you back? Well I don’t really have an answer to that. The fact is they keep chasing me, saying we're not done. But I'm done, and I'm still finding it hard to run. y. (2X) I hear them calling me, will I answer? I see them chasing me, will I run from them? I still fall for them, and really start believing. That I could never leave em, it's like I'll never have my freedom. They're just killing me slowly but surely, It's a feeling that burns me like a fire, and it only keeps burning. Results of bad choices, crawled back to me creeping. And these thoughts and feelings get me so hot I be steaming. And all this heat just makes me feel like I've been bleeding, Screaming inside, it's trying to fill my lungs when I'm breathing. exhale..Why do they keep chasing me? Why don’t they understand that I just want them away from me. They're ruining ever part of me, scarring me. told em I wouldn't answer, n they still keep calling me. So I'm calling out to you, the only that could save me. You were tempted as well, so you understand me plainly. I don't want to live like this, change me please, Forgive me for my sins, and set me free! (2X) I hear them calling me, will I answer? I see them chasing me, will I run from them?

Here I Am 03:22
I'ma take it way back, before I made tracks. When I was just a youngin who was trying to blow asap. I use to lay back, play on the street. Before I even started making a beat. If you heard my name back than, you'd say I was weak. And all the music I was bumping wouldn't let the neighbor hood sleep. But God help me cheat, when I learned to speak, in Poetic form, I thought my songs were heat. But my songs were lame, trying to give all the glory, only to my name, Thinking I had game So when God changed me he took his time, Shaped and help me push for mine, now look at me. And I'm still learning as I go. I know Satan's watching wishing he could have my soul. But that aint so, No! Cus God's the Truth! I'm a soldier for Christ, and I got my troops. Now, we going get em like never before, Feel the tension when we step through the door, you feel that?. I'm letting em know, I'm led by Jehov. That's my reality where ever I go, believe that. I use to be spitting them little flows, getting my little props, getting a little dough. Getting a little hot, getting them little shows. . And now you know so Here I Am Doing what I love to do best, Thank my family, I love you to death. Thank God, I could live this life. I guess there's something I finally did right cus Here I Am. Somebody once told me, there's two kind of pains. The Pain of Change, and The pain of Regret, best choose ya lane. Cus if you could change, you could better yourself. Hope you got the kind of people who'll do whatever to help. If not, your chilling with the wrong group of people. Who want you to sin but's sin's truth is lethal. If Blessed are the poor, and blessed are the sick. Than you ain't really gotta be rich, you still with me And by all means, say what you feel. That's really the only way to be real. I mean, sure you could murder, you could hate, you could steal. But what about living your dreams, when they stay in his will? But it's whatever sounds more appealing to you. And it really all depends on what your willing to do. I aint preaching to you, I'm Just saying the truth. The worlds out there waiting for you! Make your move! And if you ever choose to win, you will never have to loose again, Believe that! Cus if you got heart and the right state of mind, Nothing can stop you from getting your shine, one more time! I use to be spitting them little flows, getting my little props, getting a little dough. Getting a little hot, getting them little shows. . And now you know so Here I Am, Doing what I love to do best, Thank my family, I love you to death. Thank God, I could live this life. I guess there's something I finally did right cus Here I Am.

Shalom J. You know we're all afraid, we've all lost sight, but we're the light, and they need the Christ so just Go get Em. Jesus told us make disciples of all the nations, tell them what he's done, and that he's the one, c'mon Go get Em. Lazarus Cus ain't you tired of living a regular life? Sure you've got Christ, but your never sharing the light. Even though you know dark souls, that could perish tonight. Your saved from them dark times, did you forget what it's like? Or do you think you're called to just live a boring Christian life? Go to work, go to school, talk to God, than goodnight. What about those who never their dad in their life? Neglected teenagers, getting into gangs, and in fights, The poor and the needy souls, on the street with a cup. Trying to get a couple bucks, to maybe eat them some lunch. than sleep on the street with their jacket tight, While we're complaining cus we're lonely or single, but warm with a blanket at night. What about the woman who have been abused as a child, being haunted by it, from the day it happened til now Or the ones who lost their loved ones to death. These are the people who need to know about the God in which we find rest. And we could pray all day, and hope they might, Come to the light, but how will they shine, if we Don't, Go get Em? So we all must all work, we all must fight. Both, for the one's to our left and right? That's right! Go get em! Trilogy ok, alright, so we the light right? Yet the world is shining brighter, Las Vegas bright. Stop, take a second, think about it, read about it, Great Commission learn about it, Christ life, we all about it. Yea, selfish ambitions so, your kind of like, yo I got that blessing though. You go to Sunday morning service so you think you're good. But would never dare to share the gospel in your hood. Christ, misfit never fit in. All ya'll sounding the same, Swerving. Remixed the track, the way he remixed my life. Drop the faking at the hope that could save you all from burning. California to my dread, Age 13, I was that suicidal kid. So I died to my flesh, now I'm here. Couldn't do it on my own, God did it so we're clear. You know we're all afraid, we've all lost sight, but we're the light, and they need the Christ so just Go get Em. Jesus told us make disciples of all the nations, tell them what he's done, and that he's the one, c'mon Go get Em. Shalom J (6X) And we the light, and we will shine.

Compassion 03:51
I do more than just write rhymes. If I can show compassion than they'll see his light shine. Tell me, Wouldn't anybody in their right mind? Think it'd be worth driving something less expensive to see poverty changed in our lifetime? Look. yea Them dollar bills that you blew today, Could've been a meal for a starving child, that you threw away. Lazarus, don't you know there's starvation, in so many places, so many scarred faces. So why you blowing it on things you don't really need, To overcome depression or could it be the greed? That broken soul needed you, you saw their eyes full of sadness, I know you felt and heard their pain speak to you. And you just turned to the other way, and ignored me. I told you whatever you do for them, your doing for me. I've blessed with you a Mom and Dad who are praying for you. Should I put it in terms a little more plain for you? I've blessed you with a family, many don't have. Your blessed with talent to write my truths in your notepad. Every night you sleep tight, cus I've blessed you with a bed. Everyday you feel safe, cus I put a roof over your head. And you never worry when your hunger comes. Cus I've blessed you with an income, that you blowing just for fun. Want me to open you some new doors? I've always been doing my part, I'm still waiting for you to do yours. Their hearts bashed in, imagine what they're trapped in, Take the chance to glorify me by showing Compassion. And you don't want to be called a pharisee. Thanking me cus your holy, and like those sinners you will never be. Yet sometimes your a Pharisee at heart, Any person you see sinning, you judging em from the start. But, your only looking out an outside appearance. I'm looking at the heart, told you in Samuel 16:7. So when your judging, feeling holier, It only blurs. a lost soul's sight of my Love, that you tell em is unfailing. Exposing your heart, by how you act near them. They might be facing struggles, you ain't even trying to hear em. Of course you should hate sin, I never said should hate them. Their my creation, I made them. I taught you love em as yourself. I've poured my love into you, that it may overflow onto someone else. and to over flow into many more, it's true. So You must be merciful, as I've given mercy to you. So wait, if you catch yourself in hate, You need to examine your heart, and really question your faith. Cause my Grace is for all, even the heartless. I protect my faithful, but the wicked die in darkness. So, those who are blind, you should help lead them. And since my words are daily bread, you should help feed them. Through you, they may see my Grace, my light and my passion. Take the chance to glorify me by showing Compassion.

I'm Gone 03:30
Life isn't all sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes I just doubt and forget the sun shines when the rain goes. Don't like to read the word when my pain grows. It's like I'd rather front, and try to impress ya'll with these lame flows. I'm far from impressive, far from being worthy. I'm just a criminal with a testimony of mercy. Still remember the day I broke her bleeding heart, told her I should leave, before any firework's even spark. dang.. I remember she sat there in silence. Tears flowed down her face, and I was the reason she was crying. I didn't know how to Love before. What's even scarier is I'm not really sure how to love anymore. Now, I ain't looking for sympathy. I danced with the devil, now I'm a product of his beautiful symphonies. All I do is hope instead of pray, I should pray.i stop hoping before it's too late to notice that I've been led astray. ugh.. Everyday Im messing up, pulled down by mistakes. Trusting only in myself, to overcome struggles I face, ugh The burden's great, when I forget the Lord's Grace. I'm just trying to carry the load, but can't hold the weight. dumb. Trusting myself only results in daily pain. So I'm hoping I decrease until only his name remains. My heart is wicked seeking attention from woman and others, Not sharing my sins or struggles, when I'm chilling with brothers. But keeping it all to myself, wearing a mask, to cover plights til I start to look like someone else. God, it's like I know but I just don't listen. I'm still sinning, but because of your mercy I'm still forgiven. So believing we could do it on our own is a lie, Truth is we need you to lead us in every part of our lives. I don't want to be like Saul, and forget why I've been called. Turning away from your will, will only lead to my fall. And, in our weakness, we find strength in Jesus. If his Love is an ocean, we are sinking in the deepest. So we must die to ourselves, put all our trust in him. Lean not to our understanding, or our chances of victory's slim. And when the fire hits, I pray we put our trust in you, to be delivered from liars, like Hezekiah did. If I get the glory than I'm wrong. So I must be humble like John, More of the Christ, and less of me, til I'm gone..

Lord, you forever stay the greatest. Could save up all my life, and still never afford to make the payments. So I'm praying to you daily, with my face on the pavement. Asking you to clean to me up, everyday I need saving. Everyday I need reminders that's it's all you. Forget praise, it's you that I give it all too. And when we fall, many listeners could fall too. So it's not an option, only option is to call you. Ay, I'm so afraid, of being up on a stage, Just worrying about getting praise and getting paid. With some fresh j's and dark Shades, like Johny Cage, So I pray, everyday I remember how you save, And How I was locked in a cage, and was a slave. to the world, and it's falls promises that it made. But you came, and freed me from the chains, gave me a new name, and cleaned from the shame. I'm on a new lane, I hope it's the right one. Trying to be filled with the spirit that is Like Father Like Son. That I may have Faith, like David when the fight comes. Cus without it, I'd be more like Jonah and just might run. Power's in the tongue, with it I'll give you glory. Your not one of many, Holy one, your one and only. And I am in awe, cus I'm not that impressive at all, yet you know me. And will always be here for me. Glory To You! It's all for you God, all for you. We give it all to you, it's all for you. Let All we do, We do it all for for you. All for you, all for you, And Our praise is all for you. You really have patience, Cus I mess up every day, and I'm making a big ol mess, that only you can get rid of. And so I get real, trust you, than I get up. Couple blocks down, couple dudes getting lit up. Kids barely hitting their teens getting hit up. I'm sick of this view, ain't nuthin new different day, same rules, same pride, different crews. We all need Grace, It's funny we say we need you in our lives, but for you, we just make a little space. Forget space, I want my desires replaced. My whole being renewed, everything needs change. Cus my ways are lame, and my ways are old. Your heavenly wisdom's more valuable than gold. and So, let everything we do be all for you. Let us help, let's us win, heal hearts for you. I could never brag about my love for you, but I could brag about your love me, that's so true. And, it's cus of you, that I'm free at last. At peace, no longer chained up to the past. Holy God your amazing, your amazing. And so I give all the praise to you, Lord!! It's all for you God, all for you. We give it all to you, it's all for you. Let All we do, We do it all for for you. All for you, all for you, And Our praise is all for you.
