The Vision and the Ministry (Updated Saturday January 9th 2021) We are all blessed with talents and gifts and as Christians, our purpose in life is to glorify God first and foremost, as well as to bless others with the gifts that God has given us. It's hard to realize the talents you have until others help confirm them to you. I believe revelation comes from God Himself and confirmation comes from/through man. God has given me a passion for rapping and poetry (Therapy - Prayeth - They Rap) and a burden for today's youth. With that, He has given me a vision to preach the sermons that He has laid on my heart in hip-hop (Holy Inspired Praise - Healing Our People) format, a sermon that can relate to young kids and our current generation. In order to effect (affect) change, we need to transform the mind's of our youths because they are the ones that will change the world. The moral decline of our nation (and world) calls for drastic measures. We need to reach our youths and bring them back to the path of righteousness and purity. God has called me and I have answered Him. He has given me a vision and I have taken the step of faith. With the help of the church, the body of believers, a great impact will be made if the youth can get their ears tuned in to the lyrics that God has inspired me to write for Him (to advance the Kingdom of God). I'm ready to stretch God (or Im ready for God to stretch me) to the limit with this ministry and I know that He will answer my call because He has promised me that if I call to Him, He will answer me and show me "great and unsearchable things that I did not know (Jeremiah 33:3). My ministry is called Words That Build because the words we speak are so powerful. The world speaks words that kill and tear apart, and I'm here to speak words that encourage, heal, and build. The tongue is one of the most powerful weapons we have. Forget about weapons of mass destruction; if people spoke words of love and actually loved their neighbors, would there even be wars? We are all accountable for the words we speak and I have made up my mind to not let any "unwholesome talk come out of my mouth, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it will benefit those who listen (Ephesaians 4:29). My vision is that every youth (or everyone young at heart) in America and even worldwide (made possible through the internet) will have access or an opportunity to listen to the ministry of Verbal Chemistry starting with my very first album, "His Favor, My Offering," because the words I speak are not my own. The words I speak are from Jesus Christ and are life changing. "Divine inspiration...Christ gave His blood, I give my perspiration, combined with patience, my lyrics will nurse the nation back to health. Verbal Chemistry

Lyrics
Track 10_Wages are Paid (His Favor, My Offering) Lyrics written by: Verbal Chemistry Music Produced by: ArcticSongs @www.FreeRapBeats.com I can’t believe it...I can’t believe the wages are paid...there is nothing that I have done nor can do to deserve this; but I thank you Lord, that I’m saved by grace and I place my faith in you; your way is truth and I shall find my life in you... (Chorus) The wages are paid; sin can’t hold me, death can’t hold me...I’m no longer afraid; Christ died for me so when I die I’ll rise from the grave(2x) The wages are paid; sin can’t hold me, death can’t hold me... (Verse 1) Examine my heart and test my anger; red lights flashing, sirens screaming, "danger, danger!" subdue it son; sin is crouching at your door; negative energy, cats using guns; tear up peace treaties; it's war we want, so its war we get, and we won't stop till we're finish; it's more than sex, respect? how can you calm the vex? I'm going out on a limb but it’s more than arms and legs; it’s beneath the chest; the grief we've met, got me thinking; is this the best that life can get? you see the stress and you've felt the sweat that dripped when the Son knew He would meet His death; Kodak moments, but the picture says God is missing; they grabbed the rod and whipped Him; throwbacks stolen 'cuz we cherish the past; if Christ aint your Bridegroom how can you have a marriage that lasts? our treasure is stashed but I have wealth and riches and it's better than cash...that's right yall, it's better than cash... (Chorus) The wages are paid; sin can’t hold me, death can’t hold me...I’m no longer afraid; Christ died for me so when I die I’ll rise from the grave(2x) The wages are paid; sin can’t hold me, death can’t hold me... (Verse 2) I have a story and it will be told; the testimony of the word is like a hollow tip in the chamber, empty it out and reload; people run from the truth and seek gold; they harvest money and so they reap foes; they have a green thumb for planting greenbacks and these teens come strong chanting, "we need that," they fiend crack and hate wisdom; attack you and trample the pearls you give them; listen, the dollar is a sign about this generation; idol worshipers, weeping and gnashing their teeth; evil has severed nations and Satan is teaching his demons to preach; that's why we demolish arguments and anything that sets itself up against the knowledge of God; and if you don't know the Christ then how can you acknowledge my God? I've got three out of the three; the Holy Spirit helps me to be all that I can be; the Son brought me to the Father through His death on the tree; let the redeemed know.... (Chorus) The wages are paid; sin can’t hold me, death can’t hold me...I’m no longer afraid; Christ died for me so when I die I’ll rise from the grave(2x) The wages are paid; sin can’t hold me, death can’t hold me... Track 10_Wages are Paid (His Favor, My Offering) Lyrics written by: Verbal Chemistry Music Produced by: ArcticSongs @ www.FreeRapBeats.com continued... (Verse 3) Don't let the cross confuse you, it had to happen; no Christ, no satisfaction; I want you to know the Truth and the full Truth; if you don't have cats PUSHing for you, how can you pull through? We’re so used to self-sufficiency; do what seems right in our own eyes then cry out, "Lord, help! Deliver me." Intimacy, if He doesn't have your heart, He doesn't know you...how can God be so cruel? so cruel; He saved your life and yet He still owes you? get out of your selfish thinking 'cuz God opposes the proud; until you're shrinking and God is magnified, do me a favor; don't open your mouth; Christ is Sovereign so bow down right now; He's Awesome, I've found my crown at the end of the race; how 'bout I tell my friends about my faith 'cuz I was sentenced to face life apart from God; but Christ stepped in to take my place... (Chorus) The wages are paid; sin can’t hold me, death can’t hold me...I’m no longer afraid; Christ
