Freestyle How Far is Too Far?
ShareThey say I bring up Christ too much
I say naw I don't bring Him up enough
see I used to be a sinner I used to be all evil all the time
until Christ's power came down renewed my mind
changed what I loved changed what I chased
more importantly He changed the things I hate
Gave your boy a new taste palate plus an expansive palace
but He crushed me so I would know how to handle it
few can stand the breaking so that when you get blessed by God's hand you don't forget to look for His face
when all that you can see escapes you can still see God's ways
you can still serve a God who crushes man
even when it seems man does everything "right" and God prospers a man who does it all "wrong"
your faith remains strong though your hour of darkness seems long
and your valley is filled to the brim with dry bones
there comes a word of the Lord that sews flesh and ligaments together again
a Midnight friend
One who deals with us despite our innate sins
even when
Mama and Daddy say that boy is too far gone you can try and reach Him Lord he won't respond
remember that when man throws in the towels God can reach down and grab it before it becomes official
are you listening?
so when a man commits heinous acts of an evil nature and you would say he's just too far gone he can't be saved he's too far from grace
God says wait
before you don your robes of righteousness and judge them by a standard you don't uphold
let me be so bold
as to show you that you once were just as wicked just as full of sin as the most murderous of them
so if one sin makes man evil what of you who were guilty of it too?
how dare you slam my son who I made and I shaped but you desire grace just as well as he does?
come now do not be so quick to brandish the clubs and spades but possessing no hearts
do not let me start
on how you used to do things just as bad for all Sin is rebellion in My eyes
for all sins I died
and you don't know just what it may take to get his attentions on His sin sickness
so before you get to acting like judge and jury won't you consider me?
consider me who hung upon a twisted tree
just to buy redemption for sin that was simply placed on me
I say naw I don't bring Him up enough
see I used to be a sinner I used to be all evil all the time
until Christ's power came down renewed my mind
changed what I loved changed what I chased
more importantly He changed the things I hate
