Living to die, dying to self, I try
To give every breath that I breathe, You help
me, sustain a filled life,
Full of the Holy Spirit, Full of what's Right.
Brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers,
Everybody who says they love the Lord, that bothers
to love Him and follow every single command,
Sure, eternal life is not built on the works of man,
But He still demands, that if you love you stand
Still in His will as an obedient fam-ily
I'm just speaking candidly,
Not so often randomly,
Because He's branded me
To love you to death, but I pray and rap for your lives,
Hold the Lord in fear, that He, in His love, provides
Mercy to give you hearts that repent in despair,
Because you sold your soul to the prince of the air,
But his promises aren't there,
They evaporate like warm air,
If you follow his path, you'll end up lunch in his lair,
So make your decision quick,
Drop your nets and run,
To the One and Only Lord, our Father God's Son,
Jesus the Perfect Lamb, the Rose of Sharon,


Lord hear our cry,
Listen to our call,
We're coming to You with nothing but all
That You gave us in the first place,
Laid out in the worst way,
I'm now prostrate on my dirt face,
And you were offered the gall that had the worst taste.

O God, that You would die for us,
That you would even cry for us?
Who are we to think we are more than dust?
When we lie with the phrase "in God we trust."
It's a lie that we perpetuate,
Heading straight for the evildoer's fate.
"Lord, Lord, did we not.." nope you didn't
I never knew you when you were sinnin'.
So why do you keep spinnin'
Telling men they're saved when they do what's forbidden?
I told you this gate and road were hidden,
Life' not promised by a prayer you prayed when livin'.
It's by doing the will of God in Heaven,
Love him fully and edify the brethren.
Preach the Good News may it spread like leaven,
Forgive men when they sin seventy times seven,
Repent because His Kingdom's come,
In a brief moment it will all be done,
So focus on His will for this battle's been won.
Death is over and life has begun.
Hold on a quick minute
as I spit the definitive,
With rhymes unlimited,
audience riveted
I keep it steady then pivot it,
Change my style as I'm hitting it,
Keeping my aim straight,
Telling the world to love when all they know to do hate,
You can't change the fate,
But I'm no fatalist,
I'm telling you quite quaint,
That you just can't label this,

Renew

You draw me close to You, to restore my soul to do
Every piece of work for which you made me to
Bring you glory in this life, I lift up the praise that's due,
And in my darkest moments I trust You to pull me through.
Lift me up from the pit, make my joy renew.
I laud the Living Lamb, the Great I AM.
Holy God of Heaven Who, for us, was damned.
Upon the tree, cursed for my wickedness,
Our iniquity, He fulfill the Law, yo, the Prophets had predicted this,
Our sin, are we not yet so sick of this?
Unwilling to forego the deadly pleasure, addicted to the kiss
Of the apostate man, of the man-made clan,
Of the broken wretched fellowship of evil son Ham,
Forsake the father's blamelessness,
Inducted into the hall of fame of shamlessness,


Let us not hold hands,
Let us break all bonds
With the enemies of God,
To whom evil is fully drawn

Live the narrow walk, too narrow to walk,
Ask the Holy Spirit to keep your feet planted to the chalk,
For you will, One Day, watch your re-play,
See if you walked the line in this life, O pray
That He keeps you strong, in tune with David's song
To guide you in His righteousness before your days are gone.
It moves so fast, that it'll be over soon,
And if you don't pass, you'll pass over to doom,
Over to gloom, suffocate from no room,
Weeping and gnashing, not His glory, consumes
The unrepentant, the wayward man,
Crushed by the Rock which with righteousness slams
Down upon the sinner, rightfully damned.

O men of dust, lift up your cups,
You drink iniquity full, you trust too much
In the strength of man, but he won't in the end save,
You've fallen for the lie, straight into Hell's grave
From the cliff of the broad road, paved
With both good and bad intentions, but intentions only evil men crave.
To find comfort themselves and find security in
Their own constructions, not the One True God of Heaven.
So pour out your pride now, confess your sins, bow,
Before the throne of God acknowledge that you are not,
Deserving of any good, but in His mercy He bought
Your life with His life, with His death He provided light,
Offered you the chance to live for the Lord right.
So quit seeking after the night,
Holding your sins tight,
He will help you break away and step before Him in fright.
Only then might you see that He is merciful though you have lived against Him in spite.

O our Holy King, Redeemer of all things,
Forgiver of our sins which we to you bring,
We're sorry for such hatred,
That we have demonstrated,
Help us to love you fully,
Not continue resmonstrating,
Debating, our righteousness with You,
O God, You're True
And Faithful to limits we can't fathom,
But we live like phantoms,
Forget to pray, misunderstanding Jesus' anthem,
So focused on the world, instead of Him, we hope for mansions,
Though you paid Death's ransom,
We love items, not You, money, neither people too.
My God, Our Deliverer, bring us out from the dark,
Such dissonance is ripping our spirits apart,
Please take your Holy Fire and write your Word on our hearts.

weak, but it has to be done

I want to take a step closer into the camp,
I want to keep moving further to tighten the band,
Please don't remove Your hand,
May You increase our land,
Imprint Your glory on it so that in time it stands.
