Hot off the press, imprinted with inkjets,
Welcoming all encouragement, disdaining all threats,
Be sure to place your bets, cause we're playing our best,
You might think it's in jest, but I'm not issuing test,
I wouldn't leave you to guess, So I'm gonna put it to rest,
This is what is going down to my closest estimate,
I'll give you half, refrain, and then give you the rest of it,
I could be wrong, so judge wisely before you stand next to it,
Though if you're wise, you'll mark down an x for it,
Be careful lest you become an introverted invertebrate,
A combination with no action, no life,
A selfish satisfaction which makes the lost man his own guide,
A driver-less ride, a lion of one pride,
A man with no heirs at his death bed's side,
Still holding his head high, but he doesn't know why,
What in the world could make it so he didn't have to die?
Another meeting? More money, who could he bribe?
But the fear began to subside and he starts to cry,
There's nothing that can save him, nothing in sight.
Depression's onset, it's not the worse it'll get,
Give him a little longer after his face is wet,
Let the pain sink until God's grace is met.
Then in the throes of death,
Maybe God will give him breath,
Maybe God will lead the man to repent,
Spent his years on straw and dirt, not on the gems,
After all this time wasted, God's looking back at him,
Unless he repents how could God not choose to condemn,
For the man has rejected him, neglected Him,
Pushed away the greatest God, served others, and settled for them,
And in the end, settled for sin, even though God took the win.


Oh man caught up in yourself,
Let go of your pride,
and make God your help,
Or you'll end up just living to die
Give up your evil ways, and your violence
Read the Word of God and make covenant with each one of your eyelids,
Job would say, "That's what I did."
Don't look at me, I didn't write it, but I'll delight in abiding in it.
Minding it, binding it around my heart, my soul,
I won't live the lull, I demand His control,
I plan my life to be set apart, to diamond from coal,
Answering roll, falling into line, His glory my goal.
So Holy Spirit cajole me,
Convict me, push me and pull me along,
Put in my heart and mouth a brand new song,
Answer the cravings for which my heart won't cease to long
This isn't a lease we're on, this is my whole life that's gone,
Either I'm right or wrong,
So I'm biting down upon this bullet or bomb,
Theological truth or con,
Jesus or the uberman

Every minute that passes, passes away,
Every day we live is one less day,
Every semester is just one fewer we stay,
Every life that dies, is soon replaced
Every decision is one less option on the plate
But what if choice was of the the utmost state,
And what if with that once choice we made a mistake,
That would couldn't change, ever


So I'm coming as quick as can be,
To help you understand the truth that He planted in me,
I don't want to confuse, and so I'm speaking candidly,
Yeah, red-handed, me, caught in the act of preaching the Good News,
To those who reject, they lose,
Line up in twos, one left one right, those are the rules,
Those Who say God doesn't exist are fools,
I care that you disagree, because it affects you, but it also affects me,
Because I desire for God to receive due glory,
And when you repent of your sins,
God proves you're a precious gem from his treasure quarry,
O the story, Heaven's angels tell,
About God becoming man to save your soul from Hell,
To bring honor to the name of the Father well.

that's the first 3-4 minutues of the next song

Shining like the Sun, the Son blazes through the night,
The fire pillar keeping me safe and hemmed in tight.
You could erase the day but He'd still be burning bright.

Praise the Lord. Scream your lungs out about how great He is. How can you still breath so slowly and speak so softly when God is still so glorious? Waste all of your health, your wealth, your style, your time, everything. Spend it all upon Jesus and His Gospel. O How great is the love the Father has lavished on us that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are!

Wake us up O LORD GOD! Show us the reality of our citizenship. Show us whose we are. Blessed be Your name forever. Amen!
