The times they are intensifying
It's heating up, too much we need to quench the fire
Repentance idle, people sliding cause we miss the Bible
Can't escape trials, I just hope you fare better than I do
Bare in mind you can't do nothing to earn your own place
At God's table, only way through is Grace
Don't got a cape, not a hero, really I'm just a waste
Got hypocritical mental modes and they bother me greatly
Lord I'm waiting, I'm waiting for Your Holiness
Yeah, self reflection leaves me dull with sense
Sanctification through Your Spirit's what I'm hoping in
Closer I get the more further I get from closest friends
Soul's dispensed throughout all of these lyrics, emotions bend
Hey
I ride the waves everyday
I'm going through the trends like teenagers go through with phases
Sole defense against my sin lies in the Holiest King
You know His Name by now, but claim you don't that's a shame
You heard His message before, unless you heard it in vain
You saw His preachers on the street but you rolled over their lanes
While smiling at the false teachers who are doped up with praise

What's off of faith isn't straight, what's on the page isn't fake
God chose what's foolish to confound the wise, incredible ain't it?
The world is serving up these plates seemingly edible baby
But what is fatal is the fact that they are heavily tainted
Stay away

I'll tell you what I do this for
Everything I do in rap, I do it for the Lord
Wish I could say the same about me when I'm off the mic
Others think that I am great, but they don't know my life
Yeah
I'm not saying that I'm only talk though
I repent because this sin leaves me in sulk mode
Dark roads don't lead me where I wanna go
If you see me walking down one help me walk home
Lost in direction, I need constant confession
We have a tendency to think that we are often exceptions to the rules
Honor the truth and realize God gives the Proof
Through His Word, His Son has come and that's Who's always in tune
So please don't gobble the food
The world tries to force down
I cant endorse loud doctrine
The sore sounds
Of all the whored out preachers giving poor mounds
Of prosperity poop to the bored crowds
Death to the thorn ground
My heart
40 rounds into what's immoral-bound
Bringing my assurance down
Can't say the Lord's proud
Of my short bouts
Ya'll don't see the facts dawg
I be torn down
I got to be honest
You shouldn't follow me
I don't got the say
Not qualified to be a minister, don't copy and paste
What I state, check out the Bible, believe what's on the page

What's off of faith isn't straight, can't be ignoring His Grace
God chose His people to be separate from the world and its tastes
They're offering up all of these plates seemingly edible baby
But what is fatal is the fact that they're incredibly dangerous
Stay away

It's hard for me to smile after
Sinful disasters, sick of difficult patterns
Of self loathing and repentance, am I genuine with this
Or am I really just indifferent to my God and His Kindred
Not negative when I'm in Him, but that gets rarer by minutes
You try to catch a glimpse of me when I'm in secret it's sickening
I got a lot of bad thoughts, lost and indignant
I ask and pray that God will lift me and just stop my iniquity
Things to put off
Obscene kinda talk
Don't mean to be awful
I need me the Cross
He is so Awesome
He is the Mark, keep both my opticals
Off of what's dark
So easy to talk
Hills steep with the walk
Take pieces of my heart
Feed it to sharks
It needs to be lost
God please soften
What I have hardened
Deep in my thoughts
I seem to be wrought
Sin in the background
I cannot backdown
Need to be smart
Not leading the charge man
I'm reaping the consequences
Disobedience haunts
When you're far from your God
And the times getting hard
It's like you're in a trench, no rifle in arms
All the gore and the scars
And the limbs that are gone
I need Jesus Christ to restore all the parts

Yeah, hey
Yeah I know His Name, pray for me though
Because my soul's in pain
Rah, dang
We live in Noah's age
Times are getting harder, call upon the Lord today

Yeah, hey
Yeah I know His Name, pray for me though
Because my soul's in pain
Rah, dang
We live in Noah's age
Times are getting harder, call upon the Lord today
Yeah
Times are getting harder, call upon the Lord today
