SALVATION THEME
Verse 1
Ay yo I used to live a life, caught all up in this world
chasin cash hand over fist, until the day that God hurled
a change-up at my soul, to see just where I stood
showed me life is his to take, and right then I thought he would
but he didn't, and in the hospital I tried to calculate
why I should have died, but healed and I dodged the realest fate
At any rate, my life was changed, but I went back to doin me
had a scar all down my chest, but I shrugged off the holy three
The Father up above, the Son, and Holy Spirit
How obvous a miracle, so loud, but did I hear it?
At first it didn't register, I thought that we were right
but God didn't want to just be tight, he wanted this soul to have to fight
To live my life for him, to give up what was given me
lay my life down for his kingdom, like the example: JC
To drop my testimony in verse - clean - without a curse
To put the world way back behind me and put my Saviour first
HOOK
I'll always Rep the JC (yo my Saviour and Lord)
Eternal life will I see (yo it's what I'm living for)
He layed his life down on a tree (He knew what was in store)
He layed his life down for me (No one could ever do more)
x 2
Verse 2
I was sittin on my own, simply writin a poem
all a sudden I'm flowin, praisin God so that you know em
I stood up from the gutter, and I started to sputter
I started to stutter, now im rhymin another
line with another line, and I started to refine
given a little time, creatin a flow that is mine
I started to rehearse, a little nervous at first
then God lifted the curse, and I lyrically burst (BOOM!)
Spittin knowledge, spittin faith, spittin right up in your face
Tellin how my life was saved, and how I'm living by His grace
livin life everlastin, daily renewed with passion
castin the mask-and revealing my task-and
a theme for my life, never thinkin bout it twice
bout why im still alive, never askin the price
He gave me too much yo it just doesn't make sence
in Grace - Gods Riches At Christs Expense
HOOK
Verse 3
How can I give anything of mine to a King of Kings?
How can I I give the God of earth, these feeble earthly things?
All I have is the talents that You've given me
Lord Help me to be willing to give them all to you for free
All I got is one life, one chance, one opportunity
one moment in time to share with my community
One brief second to help out other souls find the truth
Forget all the knowledge that I try to kick in the booth
I give it up to you, make my life what you will
I know each day it's hard, but with you I find peace still
"Wake up O sleeper - rise up from the dead
and Christ will shine on you" thats what Ephesians said
Give me strength to know just what to say and do
Give me strength to give up everything that I do for You
The calm to my storm, the peace to those forlorn
The reason that I live is because this soul has been reborn YEAH
HOOK
