MATT PRIDGEN lyrics : "Presence Poetry Slam (Jesus Rap)"
Enter into a new paradigm
So I find I'm shifting gears
My whole concept of time
at sea that night
HE reached down from on high
And opened my eyes and plainly said
It's time in kind to realign
And search much deeper within
Past this exterior of sin
Beyond this soldier of tin
To where my heart meets the wind
Then I grin akin to the smile on your face
Without a trace of hate
I deeply implicate my fate is in good hands
Down with the master plan
I can't take it further than that
So I sit back and relax
Chillin' out max
Bouncin' your attacks
Off spirit-plated armor
Built much stronger
Than your fake shapes
Your substitute substrates
They crumble like a piece of cake
Don't even try your alibi
It can't save your eternal soul
Because our destiny
Is in the hands of the one
Who made the earth
Jesus Christ the nazarene
VERSE 2
As my eyes absorb the grace of
The rise of a new day
I escape to a place
Unbound by 3-D limit-a-tions
A drifting wonderland
All mysterious and planned
Unfolding from His hand
You know his flavors never bland
When GOD came as a man...
Left Heaven with the eyes
He fixed on redemption
Jesus Christ, He walked the earth
Righteous incarnation...
Lived a perfect life and
Turned the tide and
Swallowed up sin
No imperfection...
Could be found in Him
Poured out and broken...
Executed on a cross as
Our substitution
He laid down His life
And then picked it up again
So that not a soul would
Have to face separation
He's the gift of God, man,
Can you explain this exchange?
He died in our place
And then rose up from the grave
All so that he...
Could give us...life eternally
Too good to believe?
Well, that's the gospel to a tee
And truth be told...
There's no place I'd rather be
Cause ... you know
He stays close to me
I see his goodness in my life
Everywhere I be
VERSE 3
In my life I see God's hand
Protecting his children
Understanding that he's good
Ain't gonna question that again
But this weight...
As of late it feels like it's
too much for me to take
Grinding down my soul
Waitin' for the straw to break
This camel's back...
How'd it get to be this bad
And what's it gonna take
For me to laugh again
Dad, I'm on my knees at last
Again my pride broke
My stride and sat by
As I went tumblin past
Despite noblest intentions...
I simply tried to do it all
And threw a wrench in...
My order far too tall
And too ambitious...
Flash back far from home,
Yet another ... prodigal episode
So if fixin's not my task
Why's my mind always catch
A whiff of misery as it passes
I'll give you back my
Rose colored glasses
Cause I know you want me to take
A moment out of my day
And sit with you away and trust
That it's all gonna be ok
And with you back at the helm
Peace now surrounds
As colors mix and meld
The sunrise shows you off so well
