Shai Linne - Lift Him Up lyrics

Hip-hop is the horizon where dark and light met So the subject of my mic check is Christ's d**h Spittin' for Jesus- I know it isn't the norm But God knew me before I had physical form He let me go my own way for a while Then when He was good and ready...BLOWW! God made me His child This helpless, rebellious bad fella- God grabbed from the cellar And set me free like Nelson Mandela The aim of the Healer- crack me 'til I crumble Then send me back in the jungle to tame the gorillas I can find you at the club mackin- smoking some herb You'll find me at the coffee shop crackin' open the Word When hope is deferred, schemes unfold Responsibility was on the other line I put my dreams on hold Still I'm His number 1 fan for His goodness and grace 'Cause like a stuntman Jesus Christ stood in my place We're trying to help you learn a new route Every rapper's a preacher only question, what's your sermon about? For Christ, we'll stand firm and devout Praying that you turn from your doubt Until the day that He returns and we're out And while we wait, we'll keep lifting Him up Keep lifting Him up Cats be "What's up with the Lord The globe's full of corruption and fraud?" Dog, the road to destruction is broad It's no peace in the streets because no one seeks You're seeking for God as much as a thief seeks for police It's no doubt in my mind He'll soon strike down 'Cause God hates sin more than I hate hip-hop right now We're forced to gaze at industry who*es and slaves I wasn't feeling most of them cats even before I got saved They're more than depraved- no knowledge, Godless content Constant barrage of pompous, contradictory nonsense But Christ will be taking titles when He's slaying His rivals For now, we'll stay in the Bible while we pray for revival I used to be the type to say, "I'm clever and ill Better with sk**" my agenda- get the cheddar and chill But now I endeavor to build since His love letter revealed That Jesus Christ's resurrection is real! We're trying to help you learn a new route Every rapper's a preacher only question, what's your sermon about? For Christ, we'll stand firm and devout Praying that you turn from your doubt Until the day that He returns and we're out And while we wait, we'll keep lifting Him up Keep lifting Him up A Holy God- that's a problem for sinful man I keep my verse short because y'all got short attention spans I'm loving His Redemption Plan A hot solution- my only contribution is a empty hand Through sovereign grace, we awake from dead sleep Our faith we let speak through ancient techniques No repentance, no faith- no everlasting life Even if you cried when you saw "The Pa**ion of the Christ" Nobody I know that's liver (Jesus) I got His goodness and mercy following me like cops follow black drivers I serve a God who takes crazy drama out of lives And turns baby mamas into wives! (Say Word!) It's a major surprise how shady guys find favor in His eyes Then He enables us to labor for the prize In conclusion, we'd like to say that He's tight Speak right, seek Christ and I'm out like three strikes We're trying to help you learn a new route Every rapper's a preacher only question, what's your sermon about? For Christ, we'll stand firm and devout Praying that you turn from your doubt Until the day that He returns and we're out And while we wait, we'll keep lifting Him up Keep lifting Him up
