AWFUL GRACE OF GOD

Snippet

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. Aeschylus

Scripture

And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.

 We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters,[a] about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. 9 Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. 2 Corinthians 1:7-9 NIV

I don't want to maintain, insane, get it up

You always play the blame game, no shame, had enough

I don't wanna maintain, insane, get it up

You always play the blame game, no shame, had enough

[VERSE 1]

Fresher,

Like it's the 1st semester

Rock it like Queen when I'm under pressure

While the rest of these cats, all siesta

Get loose like change when its on your dresser

BOOM

Here comes the real volume

Had enough to wake up and shake this tomb

I can act like skate decks in concrete rooms

We're about to face what makes this move

[Pre-Chorus]

People used to tell me that I'm on my own

They said I'd never make a difference on this microphone

'Cause there's a million other people who can sing this song

I said "Well, thanks for the push" 'cause you all were wrong

Let's Go

[Chorus]

You wanna try to take me under

I'll never bow till I'm six feet under

Listen to the sound of rolling thunder

You can't break me

You'll never take me down

[VERSE 2]

Explosion

Take it like rust corrosion

When it goes in GOOSH like you bust a nose in

Competitors

I was born to set it off

They wrapped me in cloth

I grabbed a mic and went on tour

Smash it

Back in school I was a hazard

Cause I never saw the glass,

Man, I just looked past it

Had a passion that burned like battery acid

Peter Parker, bit by some radioactive

(Shake this place in)

[Pre-Chorus]

People used to tell me that I'm on my own

They said I'd never make a difference on this microphone

'Cause there's a million other people who can sing this song

I said "Well, thanks for the push" 'cause you all were wrong

Let's Go

[Chorus]

You wanna try to take me under

I'll never bow till I'm six feet under

Listen to the sound of rolling thunder

You can't break me

You'll never take me down

[BRIDGE]

If you wanna rise up start with me

If you wanna stand up here's one for free

If you wanna rise up start with me

If you wanna stand up here's one for free

If you wanna rise up start with me

If you wanna stand up here's one for free

(Feel the movement, feel the pressure)

If you wanna rise up start with me

If you wanna stand up here's one for free

(Feel the movement, feel the pressure)

(Feel the movement, feel the pressure)

[Chorus]

You wanna try to take me under

I'll never bow till I'm six feet under

Listen to the sound of rolling thunder

You can't break me

You'll never take me down

You wanna try to take me under

I'll never bow till I'm six feet under

Listen to the sound of rolling thunder

You can't break me

You'll never take me down

Sentence Prayer

Father,

Use my tears

To water a garden of eternal life.  Amen R.M.
