[Verse 1: Shai Linne]
Ok, let’s begin- let your mind roam
Our scene takes place inside of a home
The husband has just walked up the staircase
He glares into space with despair on his face
His soul is on fire, inside there’s a war
That can’t be denied, He stands outside the door
On the other side, His bride and her lover
Oblivious to the fact their lie has been discovered
So as they embrace and try to make haste
They have no idea what’s about to take place
Gun in hand, he longs to understand
What would lead his wife into the arms of another man?
He thinks back to the day they made their vows
Before God, before the minister and the crowds
Exchange of the rings, the joy of the reception
Now a tainted memory destroyed by deception
He had been faithful to her
Now the fire of his desire got him ready to do something hateful to her
He never thought his wife would be just a faker
And that her lust would make her a covenant breaker
The promise of fidelity they made was glorious
But now His jealousy has made him furious
And they can’t see the danger
No screams or pleas they make could ever ease the pain or appease his anger
He kicks open the door- they jump out of the bed
“Don’t move!” is all he said, gun pointed at his head
The screams of his wife as she clutches the covers close
Her lover spoke to plead for his life
The husband says to the guy- “Look me in my eye
My face will be the last thing you see before you die”
The husband cried inside- his love was bona fide
Trouble for the bride- double homicide
[Chorus: J.R.]
How quickly we are to break the vows we made
As our unbelief leads our hearts astray
How long before He turns His face away?
We belong to the Jealous One
We belong to the Jealous One
Whose blood bought us back, whose victory won
Our worship and praise to Him belong
The Jealous One
[Verse 2: Shai Linne]
The God of the Bible who invites our trust
Must be understood to be nothing like us
Most of the time, human jealousy will hurt you
But when it comes to God, His jealousy is a virtue
One of His awesome perfections surely
Thunders His law and protects His glory
He gave us the gift of the marriage relationship
To acquaint us with a faint taste of this
A wife for her husband or husband for wife
The only time jealousy is right in this life
But just as the distance is great between earth and stars
God’s thoughts are much higher than ours
So His jealousy is on a whole other level
Unintelligible to the soul of a rebel
But in sacred Scripture, God paints the picture
The aim: to shake your frame- it straight convicts ya
And that’s what it should do
God’s jealousy is frightful, yet it’s delightful and good, too
I couldn’t think of much worse if I tried
Than a dude who smirks if you flirt with His bride
So tell me, what kind of God would He be
If He wasn’t bothered to see idolatry?
Is God just supposed to laugh and withhold His wrath
When He’s replaced by a golden calf?
You say, I don’t worship a golden calf!
Well for us, it’s self and sex and loads of cash
Atrocious paths, we still don’t know the half
Of how these things provoke His holy wrath
So we stand in awe and wonder how come
God took His jealous anger out on His Son
So all those trust Him can see like we’re supposed to see
And be forgiven of our spiritual adultery!
[Chorus: J.R.]

How intimate a husband and wife should be.
They say the serotonin clears
They say the feeling disappears
I must be an outlier
Lately it’s all too much
Nothing is close enough
I want more than your touch
I wanna be in your bloodstream
Run through your veins
I wanna know how it feels to
Be in your DNA
Under your skin
The oxygen that you breathe
When I say I love you
What I really mean
Is I wanna be in your bloodstream
Wearing your shirt
Only really makes it worse
‘Cause I wanna drown in your whole world
I know that sounds insane
I wanna be in your bloodstream
Run through your veins
I wanna know how it feels to
Be in your DNA
Under your skin
The oxygen that you breathe
When I say I love you
What I really mean
Is I wanna be in your bloodstream
I wanna breathe when you breathe
Two years
I wanna feel when your heart beats
Wanna to fade into you
I know you’re feeling it too
I wanna be in your bloodstream
I want to be in your bloodstream
I want to be in your bloodstream -
How great the chasm that lay between us
How high the mountain I could not climb
In desperation, I turned to heaven
And spoke your name into the night
Then through the darkness
Your loving kindness
Tore through the shadows of my soul
The work is finished, the end is written
Jesus Christ, my living hopeWho could imagine so great a mercy?
What heart could fathom such boundless grace?
The God of ages stepped down from glory
To wear my sin and bear my shame
The cross has spoken, I am forgiven
The king of kings calls me His own
Beautiful savior, I’m yours forever

Out of the silence, the roaring lion
Declared the grave has no claim on meThen came the morning that sealed the promise

INTRO (Psalm 42:1-2): As a deer pants for flowing streams, so my soul for You God / My soul thirsts for God, the living God / Catch me at the Brook /
VERSE 1 (Lecrae): I used to jack Daniels / chase bloody Mary / I never touched the virgins – naw they too scary / An enemy of God since the day of my birth / Now I’m a walking Sprite billboard, obeying my thirst / My lips used to sip from sick mixed elixir / Now I big gulp from big spits of Scripture / Living Water all in my pitcher, get the picture? / Flowing out my heart is the best kind of addiction /
VERSE 2 (Sho Baraka): If I go days without seeking His face, it starts showin’ / A week outside His presence and the world starts knowin’ / Sometimes my earnest prayer, is to erase my brain / ‘Cause 20 years as a pagan, got my mind trained / Broke up with the world like I need my space I gotta breathe / Then she looked me in my face like you ain’t gotta leave / The Landlord clued me in to your cheatin’ / I need more for a reason, so I gots to get leavin’ /
CHORUS: Your face I need to constantly seek / I need more / Never feel I’m reaching my peak / I need more / My soul thirsts for You oh Lord / I need more, I need more / I’m thirsting after God /
Find peace in Your mercy and grace / I need more / Find shelter in no other place / I need more / My soul thirsts for You oh Lord / I need more, I need more / You can catch me at the Brook /VERSE 3 (Sho Baraka): Forget diamonds, in His presence I stay laced / With a shine like Moses, when I’m seeking His face / My gratitude for the Water was / Bottle it up, and try to sell it like a telemarketer / Until I die or they martyr us / The world’s aquaphobia – they scared of the Water cuz / So this is how I advertise / You can drink from other sources but your soul’s never satisfied /
VERSE 4 (Lecrae): John 7:37 / Psalm 86:11 / Catch me at the Brook, takin’ sips of heaven / Never get enough Christ, fill my soul up / ‘Cause all the world’s wells either dry or they done froze up / Greater than Jacob, look at John 4:10 and ’em / Jesus makes an offer, the water’s like a synonym / All the women and men who living in sin-and-in / Catch us at the brook, where we be gettin’ it in-and-in /
VERSE 5 (Lecrae): The worlds at the well, looking thirsty / Me I’m at the Brook, where the Church be / Don’t need a pool homey Christ that healed me / Used to mess around with coke, but His power’s the real thing / Don’t need a Pepsi to pep me, presby’s press me to seek Him / Like John Knox this guy who told me that I should drink Him / So ’til I leave the earth, catch me pourin’ it up / I got my life turned up homey, so is my cup /

Oh Lord, I’m so amazed when I dig up in Your Scripture
Focused and trying to get You, hoping to get a picture
Of who You are, true You are, Holy hoping I miss You
When I get away and I miss a day spending it with You
That’s foolish, I hope to know You and be a student
And learn Your Holy ways all my days with no excuses
Ooh its such a privilege to know the God that moves and
Soothes this wretched soul, it was cold but he renewed it
And when I look at the Psalms I just pause
Got me dropping my jaw, its clear You got ’em in awe
And we can see that they yearning for Your person
Panting after You, and their passion for You is burning
I’m trying to pursue You ’cause You precious as a pearl
More than I did with them girls, I used to mess with in the world
Relentless in my pursuit, I surrender it all to You
And I pray You draw me closer in intimate time with YouThere’s a longing for Your love
Not just a moment, intimate touch
There’s a longing for Your love
Not just a moment, intimate touchIt’s way too many times, I’m staying off on the grind
In other areas and I bury You in my mind
Then my life starts getting terrible, scarier and I find
Myself trying to get near to You, but You was here all the time
But I was having my share of affairs with things You designed
Kind of like a bad marriage, it’s scary it’s like I’m blind
And I’m praying You’d help me, hold me, and make me focus
I know that when I’m lacking You I’m more than hopeless
Mold this wicked heart to delight in Your precious person
Fighting, confessing, searching for Christ and lessons for learning
It ain’t even nothing good in me that I might show You
But I can see that eternal life’s that I might know You
I want to know You, be close to the God who saved me
And raised me, I pray we can be much closer
And I- I can embrace the beautiful life that You gave me
I count it all loss, Lord, that I might know yaThere’s a longing for Your love
Not just a moment, intimate touch
There’s a longing for Your love
Not just a moment, intimate touchI’m longing for Your endless love
The knowledge of who You are
The truth that lies within Your Word
Show my heart who You areTruly I can’t wait ’til this flesh is removed
And I’m forever with You, sin’s mess is removed
Then there’s nothing in the way, there’s none better than You
To ignore that I’m more wack, this fella’s a fool
You so mysterious, I read about You see I
I am so in awe of You, I’m all for You, You truly fly
The truth is I’m in love with You and hope that You see I
Would like to see You and I in U-N-I-T-YThere’s a longing for Your love
Not just a moment, intimate touch
There’s a longing for Your love
Not just a moment, intimate touchLord bring me closely

- There is a fountain filled with blood,
Drawn from Immanuel’s veins,
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains:
Lose all their guilty stains,
Lose all their guilty stains;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains. - The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in His day;
And there have I, though vile as he,
Washed all my sins away:
Washed all my sins away,
Washed all my sins away;
And there have I, though vile as he,
Washed all my sins away. - Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its pow’r,
Till all the ransomed church of God
Are safe, to sin no more:
Are safe, to sin no more,
Are safe, to sin no more;
Till all the ransomed church of God
Are safe, to sin no more. - E’er since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die:
And shall be till I die,
And shall be till I die;
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die. - When this poor, lisping, stamm’ring tongue
Lies silent in the grave,
Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I’ll sing Thy pow’r to save:
I’ll sing Thy pow’r to save,
I’ll sing Thy pow’r to save;
Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I’ll sing Thy pow’r to save.

“If Song of Solomon had never been written, and you never saw how men were supposed to cherish their women, and look at Ephesians 5 where they nourished their wives…”
— Lecrae, Like That
Drinking from her breasts is a way to cherish your wife.
“I would give you some spiced wine to drink, some juice squeezed from my pomegranates.”— Song of Solomon 8:2
-
“A huge, mighty God who chooses the least likely.”
— Shai Linne, Election
God prefers to use the unlikeliest, even the taboo, to glorify himself, for example, using a woman nursing her husband to bring unrivaled stability to marriages. Or his Son becoming a curse to rescue sinful men from the curse of sin, which they rightfully earned.

Conversion- Trip Lee
[Mark Dever]
People today are skeptical that anyone can really change
people today start to be learning to accept your internal circumstances
to adapt to them and adjust to them
not to try to fundamentally change them
is any real change possible?
what does the Bible say
about deep, real, personal change?[Trip Lee]
Yeah, okay, let’s go, yeah
Ay let me grab the mic, wrote this song to tell the truth (Tell it)
Cause rarely do, and yet we hear it, clearly fellas do
Need to get the facts straight, time to get a better view
We learn from our culture, but the Bible is the better school (c’mon)
this time we’ll profit us, but I ain’t talking revenue
talking understanding God and how He makes a fella new (new)
He can take a felon who was stealing’ since a little dude
and He can clean him up though, He can Cinderella you
Not with three steps, it had to be a better you
Cause our hearts are hardened, we headed straight to Hell its true
yeah we need a savior, but we don’t wanna let Him through
No room for Him cause its us up on our pedestals
God is light, He’s the only one who’s got the right fix
we walking in darkness, we ain’t got the right kicks (Nah)
there’s no darkness in Him man, He got just the right mix
grace and truth and He’s known for flipping on that light switch[Mark Dever]
And certainly one characteristic of a healthy church is this:
A Biblical understanding of conversion, the great change
and the first question we want to ask is this. “Is change needed?”
Now many say “No, not at all, we’re fine.”
But be that as it may, the Bible clearly teaches that change is needed
and we are not fine; in fact we’re in troubleVerse
Yeah some folks think they Christians just because they sing the right songs
Somebody tricked them, got it twisted like a cyclone
You think its based on your attendance then you’re quite wrong
Darkened in our understanding til’ He turn the lights on
Dirty until he cleaned us, then our guilt is quite gone
Nothing but the blood of Jesus, homie that’s my fight song
Thought you’d get by and you still tipping just like you Mike Jones
You must not be hearing me, like I ain’t got this mic on
God is so holy, in His presence we cant stand (so what)
His Son took on flesh and dwelt off in this wasteland
You should know He raised right after he took our place, manPaid our price though we wasn’t worth it like a fake brand
God is the cause, the Gospel is the means
We raised from the dead, the hostel are redeemed
Transferred to His kingdom, we locked in on His team
Adopted as His children, His flock, we are the kingsMark Dever- Jesus himself taught us that light has come into the world,
but men love darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil
everyone who does evil hates the light
and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed
Paul reminded the Ephesian Christians that before they were converted
they were dead in their sins and transgressions, dead! Paul taught that this spiritual death was shared by all.Verse
Look why you trying to drive home a right view of conversion?
You all on that doctrine, we just trying to worship (what)
But so many churches do you a disservice
Got you thinking that you saved, but you ain’t been purchased
Yeah Jesus loves us, He died up on a tree
but just because He shed His blood don’t mean that that applies to me
(He said) Ya’ll can be united, you can die and rise with Me
Stop trying to clean yourself up, and trust the job to Me
It’s by grace alone, through faith alone
the gospel’s what we base it on
not just random faith at all
Christ is what we place it on
turning from our sins to our Lord who was hanging on
the cross, and behind the scenes He’s the one who changes Holmes
Changes hearts, changes lives, praise Him all my stains are gone
Blameless, sinless Savior, now His righteousness is painted on
That’s how we’re converted, this is something we can’t get wrong
If we’re missing this, we miss it all… fall at His gracious throne[Mark Dever]
Jesus told everybody that they must turn from their sins
and turn to God
Jesus from the very beginning told people that the great conversion they
need is to turn away from their sins and to turn to God
Christianity does not preach that we can save ourselves
and here is the great puzzle for many
the bible says that this change is a matter really of our character
of our heart, that’s what we need
that’s the change that has to be affected
and that we will not change to making these right choices
if God does not change our heart first -
Enjoy this Gospel classic from Norton Hall Band.
Always loved this song since first hearing 10 years ago -
VERSE 1: Forever before the Creation or there was Satan the Son was with the Spirit and Father in Glorification / Before worship of fine angels above the Trinity was in a perfect Triangle of love / Chilled with no one else / no need for others ’cause God is self-sufficient fulfilled within Himself / And we can only guess the conversation / but the Son agreed to rescue those the Father gave Him / And although this Lord should be worshipped He volunteered to take upon the form of a Servant / The Father commanded yet asked Him to come / So now let’s examine the fashion it was done / Let me ask you if you seem confused with this / God passed through His own creature’s uterus / I admit this is odd yet the Bible can persuade me / An omnipotent God crying as a Baby? / No doctors around no spot could be found to give birth to a Child the only option in town / was to be born in a feeding trough with breeding cows and feces piles / the scene was foul / It wasn’t fancy but raunchy / How the Son of God was born next to camels and donkeys / What an awesome feat to drop so deep and cop His sheep / He didn’t step down He took a quantum leap / And I’m amazed how God infinite in wealth / put aside His fame and limited Himself / to time and space and eyes and legs / He died to save a violent race whose sin would bring ’em hell
HOOK: Who’d assume that this could be? / God became a Man penetrating into human history / But He did it completely opposite than people thought He would so unbelievers mocking it / Who’d assume that this could be? / You became a Man penetrating into human history / But You did it completely opposite than I thought You would so I was mocking it
VERSE 2: The Promised Messiah didn’t come in the honor of sire but humbly rockin’ some modest attire / So people missed it / to be specific the legalistic thought their king would be the richest / And we know we like commodities / but the Possessor of all riches chose a life of poverty / Wait it’s not the descendant of David is this? / Yes and He’s descended the greatest distance / He chilled with sinners and tax robbers / Amongst His creatures who to Him were grasshoppers / He dwelt with the lower class lowly men and those known as trash were His chosen kin / And the unbelieving Jews were sick of Him they said He runs with a team of stupid fishermen and speaks to Samaritans and Barbarians / Pharisees stared at Him with harsh arrogance / It’s shown when the Savior took notice of beggars / Healed the blind and sick and those with lowest of wages / He even touched those with leprosy which was seen as the most disgusting known infection see / Wait are you kidding me? Watch Jesus go low and wash Peter’s toes / what great humility / See the Second Person of the Trinity came down to rescue workers of iniquity / Check His earthly ministry / He didn’t make a bed / He had no place to lay His head / But He became bound to His own Law but we found no flaw / Was from a rugged town / so raw / Slumbered and slept / hungered and wept and sweated / Plunged to our depth / the sum of our debt’s pathetic / The humblest yet the humblest death that’s dreaded / The Son is our rest come under Him get His credit
HOOK: No question that He’s G-O-D but He laid aside the full expression of His Deity and surfed the chasm / no words can fathom how God walked this earth which is cursed from Adam / No question that You’re G-O-D but You laid aside the full expression of Your Deity and surfed the chasm / no words can fathom how You walked this wicked earth
VERSE 3: He was falsely condemned by Jews and filthy pagans / Now the Cross / the peak of His humiliation / No discussion / sure they’d best remove Him / He got the most disgusting form of execution / He Who sits upon the throne and rules was kicked and stomped and spit upon by Roman fools / Despised by Israel / tried by sinful souls / but was silent when struck by violent imbeciles / And Jesus was able / to call down legions of angels but He was too faithful / Gracious and patient was Him / yet He was hated and forsaken by men / like Jews they hated His soul / Judas betrayed Him for gold / When it was tough His crew was afraid so they roll / Suckers they merked Him / this Suffering Servant / was beat up and looked like He was cut by a surgeon / Slaughtered bleedin’ gushin’ oozin’ blood / The Father pleased to crush Him Whom He loved so He probably didn’t even feel the crown and nails / He had to suffer more than that to bring down the veil / Our eyes are haughty and our lies are naughty / the holy Christ bore our sins inside His body / Yea His veins they burst but no one’s pain was worse ’cause the One Who made the earth became a curse / And He was One with the Father’s Essence but on the cross the God of heavens cut off His presence / So I can’t share any language that can rightly describe the Christ’s despair and His anguish / So forever will I tell / in three hours Christ suffered more than any sinner ever will in hell / He who had infinite joy and pleasure became a Man of Sorrows so we could join forever

Killa[Verse 1: Lecrae]
Uhh! I know it’s gon’ kill me but I just can’t let it go
And the, taste so appealing it’s got a grip upon my soul
These, honey dip lies mesmerize me
Pride’s got its crooked fingers twisted all inside in me
Fools walk the path I’m on, never to be seen again
Sippin on seduction while we eatin on some secret sin
(No one will never know) says the whisper in my ear
And I know I should be over this but I ain’t seein clear
And I ain’t leavin here, unless somebody save me
Walkin to my grave, lettin evilness enslave me
Evil looks so lovely covered in her lace of lies
And the silky smooth seduction just manipulates my mind
Her fabrical fabrication is fuelin my fascination
While I’m intoxicated she starts her assassination
I’m losin all my honor and my years to the merciless
Givin all my life away but I’m just so immersed in this (killa)[Hook: Natalie Lauren]
Baby this is innocent (killa)
It won’t even hurt a little bit (killa)
I’m only here for your benefit (killa)

Her feet go down to DEATH, so don’t let her consume you
Even though her heart is black, her exterior’s beautiful
She’ll take yo’ life away, and strip away yo’ joy
Pretends that she gon build you up but she just gon’ destroy you
My friends fell low, when they was so high
Got me runnin scared of myself, no lie
And I know I’m gon’ die, I tried cold turkey
But when I’m feelin worthy, Satan’s sure tryin to merk me
I’m doin myself dirty, flirtin with what’s perverted
I should follow the word but I guess I’d rather be murdered
{*ahem*} Excuse me I mean martyred, cause I’m killin myself
My sin conceived a baby, and we gon’ name her Death
Breath {*gasps*} taker, she take my breath away
Replaces it with poison, and I’m so swept away
I need some prayer today, hope I wake up before they start my wake up

4 but in the end she is bitter as wormwood,
sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death;
her steps follow the path toc Sheol;
6 she does not ponder the path of life;
her ways wander, and she does not know it.
7 And now, O sons, listen to me,
and do not depart from the words of my mouth.
8 Keep your way far from her,
and do not go near the door of her house,
9 lest you give your honor to others
and your years to the merciless,
10 lest strangers take their fill of your strength,
and your labors go to the house of a foreigner,
11 and at the end of your life you groan,
when your flesh and body are consumed,
12 and you say, “How I hated discipline,
and my heart despised reproof!
13 I did not listen to the voice of my teachers
or incline my ear to my instructors.
14 I am at the brink of utter ruin
in the assembled congregation.”
15 Drink water from your own cistern,
flowing water from your own well.
16 Should your springs be scattered abroad,
streams of water in the streets?
17 Let them be for yourself alone,
and not for strangers with you.
18 Let your fountain be blessed,
and rejoice in the wife of your youth,
19 a lovely deer, a graceful doe.
Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight;
be intoxicatedd always in her love.
20 Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman
and embrace the bosom of an adulteress?e
21 For a man’s ways are before the eyes of the LORD,
and he pondersf all his paths.
22 The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him,
and he is held fast in the cords of his sin.
23 He dies for lack of discipline,
and because of his great folly he is led astray.

Warning Against the Adulteress
1 My son, keep my words
and treasure up my commandments with you;
2 keep my commandments and live;
keep my teaching as the apple of your eye;
3 bind them on your fingers;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”
and call insight your intimate friend,
5 to keep you from the forbiddena woman,
from the adulteressb with her smooth words.
6 For at the window of my house
I have looked out through my lattice,
7 and I have seen among the simple,
I have perceived among the youths,
a young man lacking sense,
8 passing along the street near her corner,
taking the road to her house
9 in the twilight, in the evening,
at the time of night and darkness.
10 And behold, the woman meets him,
dressed as a prostitute, wily of heart.c
11 She is loud and wayward;
her feet do not stay at home;
12 now in the street, now in the market,
and at every corner she lies in wait.
13 She seizes him and kisses him,
and with bold face she says to him,
14 “I had to offer sacrifices,d
and today I have paid my vows;
15 so now I have come out to meet you,
to seek you eagerly, and I have found you.
16 I have spread my couch with coverings,
colored linens from Egyptian linen;
17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh,
aloes, and cinnamon.
18 Come, let us take our fill of love till morning;
let us delight ourselves with love.
19 For my husband is not at home;
he has gone on a long journey;
20 he took a bag of money with him;
at full moon he will come home.”
21 With much seductive speech she persuades him;
with her smooth talk she compels him.
22 All at once he follows her,
as an ox goes to the slaughter,
or as a stag is caught faste
23 till an arrow pierces its liver;
as a bird rushes into a snare;
he does not know that it will cost him his life.
24 And now, O sons, listen to me,
and be attentive to the words of my mouth.
25 Let not your heart turn aside to her ways;
do not stray into her paths,
26 for many a victim has she laid low,
and all her slain are a mighty throng.
27 Her house is the way to Sheol,
going down to the chambers of death.

Our God is in the heavens
He does whatever He pleases![Verse 1: Shai Linne]
The Sovereign LORD, Great I am recognize the name!
He’s always on top of His game, a Lion that simply cannot be tamed
And no, He is not restrained at all- nobody can stop His reign
So why do the nations rage and all of the peoples plot in vain?
Their sin and offense is against His excellence and they’re not ashamed
As though He’s lacking the power to shackle them now in the hottest flames
And so they cock and aim- the target? His cosmic reign
That’s like a kid with a super soaker trying to conquer Spain!
Man thinks he’s a pugilist, trying to ball up his puny fist
At the LORD, who is ruling this
What’s amusing is God just laughs, like “Who is this”?
Stupid kids who persist in foolishness
It’s only by God’s power you exist
Now you declare war on the LORD
When before you were born, He formed you in the uterus?
Look- Our God is in the heavens and He does all that He pleases
He’s established His King in Zion and His name is Jesus![Hook]
Our God is in the heavens
He does whatever He pleases![Verse 2: God’s Servant]
Our God is up in the heavens and the seat at His right hand
That’s given to rule and reign is where Jesus the Christ lands
And He sits preeminent, He originates the right stance
Impossible for Him to fail, no there’s not even a slight chance
Constructor and Conductor, leaving the men amazed and saying
“What manner of man is this that even the winds and waves obey Him?”
From His purpose of election, and to birth, to our perfection
He has ordained it and He decrees and works by His direction
He never will suffer defeat, He’s precisely the Truth and the Life and the
Way
So even when He died, they never took His life but He gave His life away
To see when they crucified Him, nobody had imagined it
Not only was a part of the plan to save but the climax of it
He’s gonna get glory, we’re created to be His instruments
His reign’s inexhaustible- His rule is truly infinite[Hook]
Our God is in the heavens
He does whatever He pleases![Verse 3: Shai Linne]
The perfections of God are not affected at all by human opinion
Everything in the universe is under His control and His rule and dominion
And there’s nothing in the world that could ever could come to pass at last
Unless He first decreed it
If we dive in His word we can read it, see all of His purposes completed
And as hard as it seems, the heart of the king is a stream of water in His
Hands
With discernment you’ll see God turns it where He’s determined according to
His plans
You gotta get a focused lens to truly understand where His control extends
(Everywhere)
And I know that this offends, but the truth is the grossest sins serve His
Ultimate ends
You might not hear it from your favorite pastor
But He made the wicked for the day of disaster
Sinners unacquainted with the way of the Master
We have to explain what is plain in the chapters
He’s sovereign over creation and sovereign over salvation
Including reprobation, regeneration
I wouldn’t want to say this if it wasn’t based in His revelation (slow down)
It’s kind of stunning, men ignore His throne, the creature’s lost it
The time is coming when the Lord alone will be exalted[Hook]
Our God is in the heavens
He does whatever He pleases! -
[HOOK:]
Say – Say – Say
Hold on, He’s strong

This walk it ain’t easy
Matter of fact it gets
Hard
You’ve enlisted for war
The battleground is your
Heart
It’s going to be some stress and strain
And
Discomfort and involved
But my advice to you homie is to
Make your resolve
To fight for your joy
In God’s keeping
Grace
So at the end you can say like Paul that I’ve kept the
Faith
You see the way is hard
Cause narrow is the
Gate
And those who find it are few
I’m praying you
Complete the race
But yet his yoke is easy
And His burdens
Are light
But that’s the fight for us to rest and find in Him
Delight
You see our self reliance and self exaltation
Is still
Pacing in our souls as we battle with Satan
You see it’s
Unbelief that spring from our sinful pride
That straight
Denies that what God supplies can really satisfy
But God is
Working for us even though we hate the struggle
In
Decisions make the one’s that strengthen your Faith muscle[HOOK:]
Hold on, He’s strong
Hold on, cause our God is a warrior
Hold on, He’s strong
Hold on, cause our God is a beast
Hold on, He’s strong
Hold on, look at your neighbor say
Hold on, He’s strong
Hold on, cause our God is a beast[VERSE:]
I been crucified with Christ so it’s no longer I who
Live
But it’s… Christ who is living inside your boy
Now my
Whole life’s defined by dying
To the praise of my God as I
Fight for joy
It’s getting bloody as I pluck out eyes
Matthew
5:29 flat our war (on the flesh)
To set my mind on the flesh
Is death
Gotta keep my mind set on the Spirit of
Course
Plus Satan came to kill and destroy (and steal)
Steal
Sheep from being the children of God
Let my relationship
Run real deep (oh Lord)
How deep? All the way to the
Core
We’re in this process
Of making
Progress
Sanctification is taking place in our mindset
Cause
We were united with Christ when He resurrected
Now we
Can reflect with the power of God[HOOK:]
Hold on, He’s strong
Hold on, cause our God is a warrior
Hold on, He’s strong
Hold on, cause our God is a beast
Hold on, He’s strong
Hold on, look at your neighbor say
Hold on, He’s strong
Hold on, cause our God is a beast[VERSE:]
You see this new life
It comes with new
Rules
You’re a new born baby
You’re fresh out of the
Womb
The Holy Spirit of God has given you new birth
Now
Your Father’s the Trinity you’re apart of the church
And all
The church is – is the body of Christ
Jesus is the head of
This organism giving it life
You see it’s one body, but yet it’s
Many members
Nothing but plenty sinners
Given His grace
Then He cleanse us
Mean we need each other
The hand
Can’t say to the feet
That I don’t need you if I despise my
Eyes then I can’t see
So if one member suffers we suffer
Across the globe
So if my nose is broken then we’ll
Dysfunction-ally grow
So we must kill all individual
Talk
We’re all necessary visible invisible parts
So being in
Isolation only leads to more of sin
Don’t hurt the covenant
Like the cuttin’ of foreskin[HOOK:]
Hold on, He’s strong
Hold on, cause our God is a warrior
Hold on, He’s strong
Hold on, cause our God is a beast
Hold on, He’s strong
Hold on, look at your neighbor say
Hold on, He’s strong
Hold on, cause our God is a beast

[Intro 1: John Piper]
How can one man, in a matter of hours, drain the cup of God’s wrath that would have taken an eternity to pour out on me? How can that be?[Intro 2: Timothy Brindle]
Who’d assume that this could be?
Who’d assume that this could be?
Who’d assume that this could be?
God became a man?
Who’d assume that this could be?[Verse 1]
Forever before the creation or there was Satan
The Son was with the Spirit and Father in glorification
Before worship of fine angels above
The Trinity was in the perfect triangle of love
Chilled with no one else, no need for others
‘Cause God is self-sufficient, fulfilled within Himself
And we can only guess the conversation
But the Son agreed to rescue those the Father gave Him
And although this Lord should be worshipped
He volunteered to take upon the form of a servant
The Father commanded yet asked Him to come
So now let’s examine the fashion it was done
Let me ask you if you seem confused with this
God passed through His own creature’s uterus
I admit this is odd, yet the Bible can persuade me
An omnipotent God crying as a baby?
No doctors around, no spot could be found
To give birth to a Child, the only option in town
Was to be born in feeding trough with breeding cows
And feces piles- the scene was foul!
It wasn’t fancy but raunchy
How the Son of God was born next to camels and donkeys
What an awesome feat
He dropped so deep to cop His sheep
He didn’t step down;
He took a quantum leap
And I’m amazed how God, infinite in wealth
Put aside His fame and limited Himself
To time and space with eyes and legs
He died to save a violent race whose sin would bring them hell[Hook 1]
Who assume that this could be?
God became Man, penetrating into human history
But He did it completely opposite than people thought He would so unbelievers mocking it
Who assume that this could be?
You became Man, penetrating into human history
But You did it completely opposite than I thought You would so I was mocking it[Verse 2]
The Promised Messiah didn’t come in the honor of sire
But humbly rockin’ some modest attire
So people missed it- to be specific
The legalistic thought their king would be the richest
And we know we like commodities
But the Possessor of all riches chose a life of poverty
Wait, it’s not the descendant of David is this?
Yes. And He’s descended the greatest distance
He chilled with sinners and tax robbers
Amongst His creatures who to Him were grasshoppers
He dwelt with the lower class, lowly men
And those known as trash were His chosen kin
And the unbelieving Jews were sick of Him
They said “He runs with a team of stupid fishermen
And speaks to Samaritans and Barbarians”
Pharisees stared at Him with harsh arrogance
It’s shown when the Savior took notice of beggars
Healed the blind and sick and those with lowest of wages
He even touched those with leprosy!
Which was seen as the most disgusting known infection, see
Wait, are you kidding me?
Watch Jesus go low and wash Peter’s toes what great humility!!!
See the Second Person of the Trinity
Came down to rescue workers of iniquity
Check His earthly ministry
He didn’t make a bed- He had no place to lay His head
But He became bound to His own Law but we found no flaw
Was from a rugged town-so raw
He slumbered and slept, hungered and wept and sweated
Plunged to our depth, the sum of our debt’s pathetic
The humblest, yet, the humblest death that’s dreaded
The Son is our rest, come under Him- get His credit[Hook 2]
No question that He’s G-O-D
But He laid aside the full expression of His Deity
And surfed the chasm, no words can fathom
How God walked this earth, which is cursed from Adam
No question that You’re G-O-D
But You laid aside the full expression of Your Deity
And surfed the chasm, no words can fathom
How God walked this wicked earth[Verse 3]
He was falsely condemned by Jews and filthy pagans
Now the Cross-the peak of His humiliation
No discussion. Sure they’d best remove Him
He got the most disgusting form of execution
He who sits up on the throne and rules
Was kicked and stomped and spit upon by Roman fools
Despised by Israel, tried by sinful souls
But remained silent when struck by violent imbeciles
And Jesus was able to call down legions of angels
But He was too faithful
Gracious and patient was Him
Yet He was hated and forsaken by men like:
Jews, they hated His soul, Judas betrayed Him for gold
When it was tough, His crew was afraid, so they rolled
Suckers they merked Him, this Suffering Servant
Was beat up and looked like He was cut by a surgeon
Slaughtered, bleeding, gushing, oozin’ blood
The Father pleased to crush Him whom He loved
So He probably didn’t even feel the crown and nails
He had to suffer more than to bring down the veil
Our eyes are haughty and our lies are naughty
The Holy Christ bore our sins inside His body
Yea, His veins they burst but no one’s pain was worse
Cause the One who made the earth became a curse!
He was One with the Father’s Essence
But on cross the God of heaven cut off His presence
And I can’t share any language
That can rightly describe the Christ’s despair and His anguish
So forever will I tell:
In three hours, Christ suffered more than any sinner ever will in hell! (It is finished)
He who had infinite joy and pleasure
Became a Man of Sorrows so we could join forever[Hook 3]
He took a cosmic plunge, put on some lungs
On the Cross He became to God a sponge
To soak up His wrath
So wicked wouldn’t be sifted and blown into chaff -
[Sin:] Aye look what’s good fam it’s me again. The one you used to call your friend. I know you ain’t forgot me?
[Crae:] Oh yeah you always get me caught in sin.
[Sin:] Here you go with that again. You act like we ain’t cool or sumthin. Let’s go smoke a Kool or sumthin. Talk and sip a brew or sumthin.
[Crae:]
Naw man I ain’t trusting you
Ain’t nothing but lust in you
Thanks be to God I obeyed the teaching I was entrusted to
Cause when you pass by you just want ya boy to backslide
Have me feeling sick like I’m coming down off a crack high[Sin:]
Man that’s a flat lie
You act like I’m the bad guy
You know when me and you get together we have a grand time
Let’s take it back. All the way to like the 6th grade
Last thing on your mind back in the day was trying to live saved
Remember house parties, kissing in the dark?
Man that was innocent fun come on…[Crae:]
NOW don’t start
See dawg I live by the Spirit so I don’t gratify
All them old sinful desires that never satsify[Sin:]
Aye come on KILL THAT!
Look me in my face and tell me I’m a lie
You ain’t feeling chasing women, getting drunk, and getting high, stacking money, staying fly, living up the playas life, we was having fun now gone try to be religious guy[Crae:]
Aye Yo man first of all LOWER YOUR VOICE! Who you talkin’ to?
Handcuffed in August ’02 I got caught with you

I’m standing on these stages and got these people believing me
What I look like trying ta gratify this disease in me[Sin:]
So Now I’m a disease? Man please. I got yo back dawg

We ain’t gotta be selling drugs and tryna kill folk
Maybe just a lil…[Crae:]
What? A lil this, a lil that, a lil BET late at night, that’s like a lil crack, see you ain’t gone lie to me
I see how you be tryna be
BET tonight becomes addiction to pornography
And that’s in no way honoring the God who’s ruling sovereignly[Sin:] Man you know you miss them old days
[Crae:]
Yeah you right possibly
But after that I sober up and think of Jesus holding up… his skin up on the cross for all them drunken nights I’m throwing up
Every thought of blowin up is captured in his flowing blood
I start thinking Philippians 4:8 when you showing up[Sin:] You know I ain’t gone quit right?
[Crae:]
Yeah I know but I’m dead to you
And one day I’ll be present with Jesus who died and bled from you
Colossians 1:15 that’s the God that I trust in
The Father crushed Him
In doing so he has crushed sinWriter(s): Devon Burroughs / Dion Burroughs / Le Crae Devaughn Moore
