CHRIST

Snippet

The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ would take the slums out of people, and then they would take themselves out of the slums.

The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature.” ― Ezra Taft Benson

Scripture

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20 NIV

I appreciate the love when I rock the stage

But I don't do this for props and things

It's nothing at all, It's Christ inside that's

Got me spittin on the mic tonight

I appreciate the love when I rock the stage

But I don't do this for props and things

It's nothing at all, It's Christ inside that's

Got me spittin on the mic tonight

I'll probly never be the type to spend two bucks on fine dutch

But I wan touch hearts [?]

I come to do what the Lord say

Got my lifestyle flipped to fit His forte yeah

I'm up early like moms and grits

Getting fed daily bread 'til my mind is script'd

And my rhymes intent is to point straight at the cross

Without using clever lines and [?]

I know you'd probably be impressed if I cleverly used my melody

To share Christ without using His name heavily

But I'd rather be saying His name so much you could never get 

me confused Or discredit me

'Cause I don't wanna do this, I used to be a Judas

It's only Christ in me that got me tryin to make it through this

I'm givin up time, givin up rhyme

'Cause it ain't about me getting mine dog I'm nothing

I appreciate the love when I rock the stage

But I don't do this for props and things

It's nothing at all, It's Christ inside that's

Got me spittin on the mic tonight

I appreciate the love when I rock the stage

But I don't do this for props and things

It's nothing at all, It's Christ inside that's

Got me spittin on the mic tonight

Ain't nothing sweet about me dog but Christ within

Prior to that your boy lived a life of sin

If you catch me givin up money so folks can eat

It's really God working through me dog

I'm not that sweet

And there ain't a bone in me that's naturally good

And without the fruit of the spirit I'm actually hood

Basically it ain't nothing great in me

But graciously my God likes replacin me

With His own characteristics traits and things

The wages earned from sin He erased them things

And gave me a new family tree

That the creator of creation hisself related to me

So if it seem like I shine bright in the limelight

Or I might think I'm tight man it's a lie right?

I'm gritty like J-Silas guess my worth

Man without Christ Jesus I'm less than dirt. I'm nothing

I appreciate the love when I rock the stage

But I don't do this for props and things

It's nothing at all, It's Christ inside that's

Got me spittin on the mic tonight

I appreciate the love when I rock the stage

But I don't do this for props and things

It's nothing at all, It's Christ inside that's

Got me spittin on the mic tonight

Cats say they gon' change the game

This is Christian rap, why they barely using the savior's name

Got flows saying they rhyme is tight

Christ gave us breath to spit God gave us the mind to write

We don't deserve to shine, naw We just clay

I just came to lift up Christ and not what's my name

When I drop this flow it might sound ridiculous

But Christ smack dab in the middle so conspicuous

Homey it's not clever word play is not what the Word say

Christ in Him crucified all day e'ry day

But have it your way and blab your name

And Christ died you just trying to grab the fame

It's nothing but sound bites nothing but loud pipes

Speakin in vane man we nothing without Christ

We should use our last breath to rep the King Jesus

You shouldn't have to know our name after we leave here

I appreciate the love when I rock the stage

But I don't do this for props and things

It's nothing at all, It's Christ inside that's

Got me spittin on the mic tonight

I appreciate the love when I rock the stage

But I don't do this for props and things

It's nothing at all, It's Christ inside that's

Got me spittin on the mic tonight

I'm nothing, I'm nothing, I'm nothing, I'm nothing

I'm nothing, I'm nothing, I'm nothing, I'm nothing

I'm nothin

Sentence Prayer

Holy Father:

May my Yes be Yes and my No No

May my obedience not be spoken by me

But lived quietly for others to see Jesus

Holy Spirit willing or unwilling

I give you permission to search and destroy

Every hypocrisy in my life. 

Help me grow true and straight

That I may never cause someone else to stumble

Amen!  R.M.
