Tony Tillman - Power To Die lyrics

Now when I'm done I know a lot a y'all will say that I'm a hater But y'all treat the Holy Spirit like Magic, Lakers If the pastor to Kamehameha ya and you fall on the ground If you ain't living like Christ, what's the point of jumpin' 'round? I think we need to see clear about the power that was given Not a genie in a bottle for you to have better livin' He's a untamed lion sent to make you go harder In Acts, he took 12 cowards turned most of 'em into martyrs Being Christian wasn't cliche, like it is today It was d**h on the cross or being burned at the stake Now please, don't get me wrong I believe that we can prosper But turning God to your butler to me is not proper Peter was crucified, John was boiled alive (and he survived) And they knew Christ in the flesh and was a spared by God See what I'm getting at, some of you cats are liars He ain't power to be comfortable, but power to expire Now when the fight gets realer with the man in the mirror We got Power to die He gave us Power to die No this is not suicide, but I'm willing to give my life We got Power to die He gave us Power to die I yell His name on the earth till they put me in the dirt We got Power to die He gave us Power to die So if it mean I don't survive to see His glory on high We got Power to die He gave us Power to die Ay it's crazy how we live like we still slaves Like Jesus never came Like God is never pleased And we forever chained But maybe we ain't condemned for Him we give up everythang Every desire and breath in us just to let Him reign Submitting to the will of His Spirit and not for better thangs But we die to gain new life from a God Who never change Peep the new covenant relationship we can now exchange "A Sunday Kind of Love"... Call it the Etta James Love beyond the weekend, trust to the last Scripture We rise before Easter and follow 'em past Christmas We wrestle with bad habits, break 'em like gla** fixtures Pick up our cross and walk till our shoulder blades have blisters We got power dawg, we can do it all through Christ Focus on the sacrifice, you can't afford to lose sight Continue to follow right, pursue it with all your might And deny yourself, you call it d**h, we call it new life! Pick up your cross and stand Flat footed on the Word no matter how life turns To equate your life with worth without the Lord is absurd, sir Sin will try to put you in a "backyard fight" But the Spirit God'll right like, Kimbo Slice Uppercut like Tyson roundhouse like Van Dam One inch punch like Bruce Lee, resourceful like Jackie Chan So what you gettin' whooped for I suggest you scrap folk Then one day we will be glorified- that's a fact bro But till He come back to overcome evil for good We must k** our sin nature everyday, understood By fasting you deny yourself and bring it to submission Prayer reminds you Who the captain is Humbling to His mission Read the Scriptures, they reveal God and His purpose What's the point having a weapon if ya don't know how to work it There's strength in unity so fight with a community These tools the Spirit use to help you die to you and me
