Lecrae - I'm A Saint lyrics

[Hook:] Yeah they tell me sugar coat it, dumb it down but I can't Might as well could deny the Jesus and be ashamed but I ain't... I'm a saint Til the day I see the grave I'm going hard in the paint It's the only We hope we got dats why I'll die for the faith I'm a saint [Verse 1:] Used to be where I could only trust me and myself And then that Heavy Metal devil that could send em straight to he'll with it Thought it Was no helping it my selfishness was celibate I sell a bit but I make Sure I don't sit up in that cell a bit I'd yell a bit but only when Hurt came for certain Illiterate ain't know that the word came But Then that that light hit me and unblinded me Jesus paid a price me That's how I gained the right ta be the son of God I'd like to be Changed my heart and gave me a desire for his work mayne k** me if you want but I'm gone get back out that dirt mayne Not yet what I'm Gonna be but not what I used to be Bless his name forever who would Chose me and start using me Used to love my sinning fulla greed fulla Hate I might say that I love Jesus But that talk was really fake I'd Be lustin for ya cousin if it wasn't for his Grace Yeah he took me outta Nothin and he made ya boy a saint [Verse 2:] You got to understand Jesus agreed back in eternity to sign a bloody covenant and take a deadly turn for me He ain't just agree he fulfilled it to the d**h of em He took that bloody cup that's meant for us str8 to the neck And yeah he swallowed all that bitterness That pain and affliction Ain't a soul in hell with pain comparable to this one Brought me to repentance Homie I'm blood purchased And daily I'm conformed to his holiness so I worship Jesus finished the work He resurrected on High That means he beat d**h and best believe so will I See some believe they can fly But I believe I can die Resurrect leave the earth And live forever with God He will march through the sky while the stars sing his praises The planets dance around and the universe is amazed And me I get to gaze upon his beauty for days Man if I could be anything baby I'd be a saint [Verse 3:] You might think I'm crazy like some kinda urban misfit But first I Hated church I'd only pray to give my wish list I'd be just like you Doing my dougie in the club folk I promise I ain't it choose it I was chosen to loved on Eyes low blowing dro that's the life I used to Know But Jesus chopped me up and slowed me down just like that Houston flow A dead man until somebody hit me with the hardest facts The Gospel hit my heart I guess that's what you call a heart attack I'm looking at Ephesians 2 like what did Jesus see in you Nothin By His grace he chose to love on folk like me and u And I don't Understand it homie I Neva planned it I was chasing money and fast Women and man Then I met the great I am Son of man Or the lamb Snatched ya boy up outta hell And got working for his plans Used think I was the man Til I met em All that arrogance and pride I dead em and fo'get em I'm a SAINT!
