Verse 1
We're in a day where Christians are groupies, killers
Don kufis, Catholics practice feeling on juvies
Cats stick plastic spinners on hoopties
Grasping at this spinner gone kooky
From passionate screams to smashing of dreams and
The pipes they emitted from, admit it, we’ve given up
Cry freedom but ain't trying to be about
Hoping for a Moses who'll risk dying to lead us out
Lacking a compass, traction to run with
Passions are fast chicks, cash in abundance
But when we earn every want and reward
We soon find flame stops burning hot as before
Try best to rekindle ‘til that odyssey bores
Suddenly we start thinking that there’s gotta be more
When we hear a loud knock at the door
Ready to move we lose the excuses, drop to the floor and...
Chorus
Say Lord please deliver me, tired of the
Sinner me, dying to live in peace (peace)
(repeat)
Verse 2
Love, joy, peace, long suffering,
Gentleness, faith, meekness, temperance
And goodness, fruits we would get
If only we took steps according to good text
But, rather than Christ we just wanna accept church
Place to find a mate maybe sing and to network
We, struggle a lot and ‘cause humble is not
How most folks see us we become stumbling blocks
Uttering lots of scripture that we don’t trust
It’s like we don’t get the picture that He rose up
How sin He overcame it for, sake of our race which
Inherited it back in the garden when snake tricked
Eve and Adam to eat fruit from that of
Which God forbade, we still fall for same
Slick schemes then quickly, forget we is free
collect our fig leaves and neglect our big dreams must...
Chorus
Verse 3
Son I'm on it for real this ain’t a masquerade
Or a plotted appeal for you to pass the plate
Trying to pass the faith in no mask or cape
A mere man in the hands of who has the way
Or who is the way, the truth, the life
Who is the same at noon at night and
Morning, yesterday, today, the next reforming
Any heart wanting to adore Him, my Lord is
So laudable incomparable
Going His route no audible is profitable
So when man doesn't believe in the God who conceived him
It ain't hard to reason predicament that he's in
So yo if nothing else keep this one truth
If nobody else does Jesus loves you
And waits arms open for permission to show you
And provide you a pardon from the prison that holds you just...
Chorus
