Way before I ever was a Christian I went to church all my life Yo, but listen Way before I was a true convert God was loving me Before I could do my dirt Never for a second Did He think of second guessing His election The proof is in the way He came and paid for indiscretions I committed With commitment Cause I sinned with no conviction And I dare not call it slipping Cause I wanted nothing different Often I am horrified Thinking of my war with God Chasing lusts, adoring pride Something like a whorish life Sin would open doors, invite me in And I would go inside And I ain't care about the consequence I just enjoyed the ride Living with that wickedness I'm nothing less than mortified And if I died while in that sin God would still be glorified But there before the grace of God I've been redeemed and sanctified I praise Him and I thank Him, I Live to join Him in the sky I'm leaning on the Lord who sits on High I Love the Lord that He heard my cry He loved me first and I don't know why He proved it when He sent His Son to die And now I have Life From the Lord who sits on High I Love the Lord that He heard my cry He loved me first and I don't know why He proved it when He sent His Son to die And now I have Life I've spent a lot time here Working on my craft I should've spent that time More focused on my act I can't say I wasn't hypocriting On Sunday I was Holy But on Monday I would hit the switch Plot a move and hit the lick Call the crew and hit the strip Bought the 'xclu and took a hit Fought a few and split a lip And even if it took a bit Of time I would call your boo and slide on through to hit the chick A sinful genius in my ignorance And I ain't bragging I'm lamenting Broken and I'm venting I'm yearning for forgiveness From the people who are victims Most of all from my God Against whom I was sinning I'm needing Him to grant me repentance Lord, have mercy on me Please kill the pervert in me Create in me a clean heart I need You working in me So I can bask in your glory On the path set before me Let not Your wrath be my story End Hold me close, and draw me in And if I ever fall again I pray you catch me by the hand And keep me in your presence Through the blessing of the Man Who was born of a virgin In the town of Bethlehem Whenever I'm in trouble I can now look for Him Because there's nothing more sufficient Than the Fisher of all fishers Lord, I bow in full submission Give me the ears so I can listen Help my vision By Your light I'll let it glisten In the dark I'm prone to stumbling My life is like a shadow Of Satan's kingdom crumbling I'm broken and I need you Cause if I'm in the flesh There is no hope for me to please You I need Your righteousness I pray You work it so it bleeds through And saturates my living So when finished I can see you So many, they don't get it It's a gift that we believe You Regenerated by Your Spirit Otherwise, we will not hear it Scoffing in our sin Until the day of Your appearance Cause without Your intervention There's no fear or no revering Blessed are the ones You choose And drag and draw them nearer What kind of love it takes To send Your Son for a sinner From what I'm understanding It's a love that's infinite From the ever present God Who's never gone for a minute In the midst of my rebellion And my failure You were there How dare a person curse You Screaming like You are unfair With the very breath You bless them with Your mercy's loud and clear We act as if You're weak and powerless But Au Contraire You are the Omni-potent Triple holy God of everywhere Eternal from the past To beyond the atmosphere I pray You come back fast And take Your bride from out of here Your mercy's everlasting And my hands are in the air I'm leaning on the Lord who sits on High I Love the Lord that He heard my cry He loved me first and I don't know why He proved it when He sent His Son to die And now I have Life From the Lord who sits on High I Love the Lord that He heard my cry He loved me first and I don't know why He proved it when He sent His Son to die And now I have Life More abundantly What a wonder He would come for me Amazing grace don't it sound so sweet I was in the dark but now I see Because He's the Light Of the world and He heard my cry And pitied every groan As I live and my troubles rise His grace will lead me home To eternal life
