Resistance
(Heb 12: 1-4, Phil 3: 13-14, Rom 12: 1-2)
Steve: Ayo, this walk is the path of resistance, no passive existence
Will last, if your Christian your Dad is insistin'
On havin' us listen and passin' the mission
So cats who were distant can add to the witness
Graspin' the vision and actin' consistent
Passionate livin' for the Master who risen
We ask for conviction, smashin' our sins
And attackin' addictions that trapped us in prison
Back with a vengeance unmaskin' the temptin'
And slashin' wit' scripts in the fashion He mentioned
His fastin' was endin', clashin' begins and
He snatches the win with the last "it was written"
Lackin' in wisdom? cast your petitions
Holdin' fast that it's given and He'll act in provision
We're mad to the system, they laugh at us dissin'
But after redemption all of that will be switchin'
Eric: no more lookin' behind us when you find us, we're be livin' righteous
(Oh, turnin' from sin) we got a brand new way of existence through repentance, we've been givin' redemption
(Cause we're dying to live again)
Steve: Daily we're dyin' and facin' the I AM
Amazed with the triumph He made when He rised from
The grave, the price of his blameless divine blood
Paid just to buy us, the Savior defines love
Grace under fire, shapin' the life of
His saint who at times was a slave to desires
Flames of his mind's lust ragin' inside, tucked
Away in his pride but the blaze is retired
Patience inspired, thanks to Messiah
Who, forsakin' his life for the sake of his bride was
To wait for His time, un-swayed by the times, un/shaken, despisin' the shame, sacrifice hung
Savin' his wife from enslavement, the prize of
His payment, eyes of the Maker see "righteous"
Praises to Christ 'cause He's gracious and died to
Make us alive plus erase stuff behind us
Eric: no more lookin' behind us when you find us, we're be livin' righteous
(We'll be givin' honor (?) to you) we got a brand new way of existence through repentance, we've been givin' redemption
(Persevere 'till the end)
Steve: There's no stoppin' or movin' me, Ak, I'm pursuing
The God who pursued me and copped me and wooed me
Agape consuming me, lost in His beauty
I'm shocked and confused by the cost of the new me
Dropping my doings to follow where you lead
Is not such a duty when I think of you bein'
Mocked by the Jews beat and socked by the troops seen
As God by the few these forgot when they crucified you I'm truly in awe it behooves me
To offer to you me and die though I do breathe
My mind you renewing my body your using
I holler you truths being honored you'd choose me
Often they boo these unpopular views we
Don't stop only fools be denyin' or snoozing
We gotta keep moving this gospel of true peace
Not just for Jews, Greeks are offered it too
Keep it hot
Eric: no more lookin' behind us when you find us, we're be livin' righteous
(We're dying to live again, yes) we got a brand new way of existence through repentance, we've been givin' redemption
(And we're gonna persevere until the very end)
Obedient to Him, turnin' away from sin
No longer livin' for self, we're livin' for Him
Cause He alone is worthy, yes He is
He's worthy, of our obedience
Yeah...
