Heavenly Boss

Humble me down, to the foot of the cross,
where you picked up your crown, like a heavenly boss.
You died for my transgressions, and bore a new direction,
so we can have real relation, so we can see the destination.
To you- I pray, the Alpha and Omega,
your name- I say, echos forever-eva,
you are- the way, the truth and the life,
there ain’t no other way to get to paradise.
Gotta give it all to the King, he is sovereign let us sing,
blessed be your name, Christ Jesus you’re everything.

Worry Free

People still livin in the past, I’m looking to the future,
Jesus is a blast, there ain’t nothing true-err.
Come and see, what you can be, through JC, you gon be worry freee.
Let me tell ya,
causse you will have times of trouble, but you wont stay in da rubble,
causse with these trials you will see, to live in Christ is to be worry free.
Got the ticket?
Cause you will eventually see, to be persecuted in Christ, is to be truly free.
I got the ticket,
wont you take a ride with me, on this life roller coaster, you don’t have to wait and seee,
causse salvation aint earned it’s a gift, to set you free,
if you don’t have transformation, and a shift, pause to seee,
The Whole Picture,
and if that’s the case, you ain’t bearin fruit,
dont be the branch that gets cut by the root,
and gets tossed in the fire and given the boot.

Overcome

In the darkness I can’t see, whom God wants me to be,
trapped by this lust so tight, but I gotta trust his insight,
the God who wrapped himself in flesh, and was tempted like the rest,
died a death not deserved, but through his grace was served.
Into the light I must go, so I can feel his Spirit flow,
through my veins, from head to toe, this Spirit within, over flow,
because unfading love, I am changed, beloved,
my God, you’re all I need, with you I am free indeed.
Sin can’t hold me down, I will overcome,
this life may make me frown, it’s just burdensome,
set your eyes upon the prize, kick the devil between his eyes,
yell from a mountain on high, Jesus paid my price.

Fight

I fight to win, and I ain’t cavin in,
my flesh gonna fail, ain’t no tellen when,
cause the devil skilled with his craft,
to steal, kill, destroy, and relapse,
but when I am filled with The Spirit,
I dominate sin, and I kill it.
There is only one thing to do,
put my faith in Christ, he do what he do,
giving me the strength for this fight through,
I know his ways, will always shine through,
gotta have the patience and endurance, stride through,
his will is mine that’s why I live for You.

His

Running for the light, stumbling through the darkness,
Jesus give me confidence, whom shall I fear?
His will is oh so sovereign, my life’s not mine it’s his,
he rescued me from life’s desires for his kingdom, I am his.
Whom shall I fear? Not a shadow in a doubt,
I fear the one who made me, cause he made me, without a doubt.

Anew

Why you living life so complacent, Jesus died for you, and resurrected.
You wonderen why your spirit man is weak, it’s because you don’t hardly let it eat,
gotta feed it life through the word, let it speak, stop being so selfish and grow, hit this beat.
It ain’t about the talk, but the walk, gotta pick up our crosses, shall we rock,
cause we your flock and we lift up our praises.
Have us put the self man to shame, and cry out Jesus name,
change in me and make in me anew, that is all, you know how to do,
give me that new mind, a heart of flesh too, cause I know you are Lord, and your sovereign,
do You.

Paid

Got this eery feeling in my chest, of a great unfoldin, bout to head to press,
best put your faith in the God that doesn’t rest, cause he got your back, he’ll put you to the test.
Stop being so oblivious and see, all this chaos pressen down on thee,
because the time is coming soon you will see, this spiritual battle coming by decree,
Don’t know bout you, but yeah it scares me, I fear the Lord, that’s how its gotta be,
I try my best daily, fall short every day, that’s why I praise the Lord that’s Holy and will say,
“I got you covered man, I paid the price, I died for your sin didn’t have to do it twice, put your faith in me, stay grounded on the Rock, pick your cross daily so I can know who you rock, just repent and follow after me, Jesus Christ is how it be, the only way to Heaven, yes, you will see, I AM.

Numb

Numbed by the world, you’re blind to the light,
wake up and see, this glorious delight.
You’re walking in the darkness, to busy to see,
this great unfolden, yes, this prophecy.
You say, “they be saying that for years”,
but have you read the word? Cause my vision ain’t blurred,
I’m beyond my years, but that ain’t from me cause the spirit dwelith in thee.
Temple of the spirit, this I proclaim, my body’s not mine it’s his, Yahweh.

Walk

We say we rep-pin Christ, but we represent the Devil,
through our evil deeds it’s nothing man can handle,
gotta take our crosses daily and represent the handful of righteous men,
there ain’t no cave-in in,
cause this Faith Walk is leadin’ to this great unfoldin’,
let us sing to the King, his sovereign rules a thing.
He is the First and the Last,
the Prince of Peace, he’s comin’ real fast,
best repent and know the task,
to spread the Gospel with love and steadfast-ness,
this I know, for the Bible tell-ith me so,
so I will roll with my boy Jesus, this is my flow. amen

Waking up

Had high hopes for the month of August, with the beginning of school coming up and starting the journey of life that begins with an apartment. Along with this transition from the dorms, the summer was in large part preparation for a Men’s Physique NPC competition which happened to be the same day as move in. This particular week I was somewhat overwhelmed by the multiple things going on.

Now that the setting is clear let me pick up from a rough weekend (above) and paint a picture the following week; I was without a functional phone for a week and some days and being without MY Bible. Now I don’t know about you, but these two things play a major role in my life as a young adult. No easy communication, notifications, or easy access. Cut off from the world around me. And on top of that I didn’t have the word of God with me. The struggle was real, both spiritually and worldly, and the message was clear. What was more important?

This whole week was draining. School started off rough with money problems and no phone or spiritual guidance. Not having my phone was, I might say, a complete pain in my ass- no work out tunes, no looking up random questions, no social media. It seemed like I was being cut off from the world. The basic things that seem like we can’t live without were absent, after 2 or 3 days without the phone, the anxiety faded, but the troubles didn’t.

Trial after trial, problem after problem, the week continued to suck. I had no life going into me. The word of God brings up life (Hebrews 4:12). It took a week without it to realize how much it helps me day to day. God’s Word endures and echoes through eternity. It will always last (Matthew 24:35).

Let’s look at the world around us. Chaos is happening all around us and we’re caught up on our Twitters and our Facebook; taking pictures and posting them, oblivious of this great unfolding. There is spiritual warfare all around us (Eph 6:12). Don’t get me wrong social media, and other networking is and can be very good. Look at its purpose right now, but really examine what’s going on in your life and what’s going through your body. Through your eyes and ears, coming out of our mouths. He who has ears, listen. We are being numbed; we are luke warm and may be spiritually dead. Wake up (Colossians 3:1-3)! We find reasons to complain about why our lives suck, but it’s most likely because something is missing (John 14:17). It’s because we’re all in need of a SAVIOR (Romans 6:23). Many of us say we are Christian and believe in God, but we live selfishly; we can’t even efficiently deliver the Gospel, let alone show love to one another while doing it. Many would rather take in the whole world and lose their soul, than to believe in a God they don’t try and know anything about. We must seek things that are eternally purposed(Eph 2:10), not living like zombies in the here and now, refusing to see what is happening.

You have to want your life to be transformed for it to be transformed (Romans 12:2). You will be given a new heart; you will be given a new mind, to understand the will of our heavenly Father (Proverbs 3:6-8, Ezekiel 36:26). But you have to want it. You will never find what you’re looking for in this world (1 John). This is the faith walk. We must talk the talk, and walk the walk for us to be light in the dark. Isn’t that what you want to be remembered for? Your legacy? It won’t be easy as you can tell by my own pity party this week, but his will is sovereign and just. How can we question a perfect God and his mystery? There is no way to understand his timing. All we can is put our faith in our one and only saving grace, Jesus Christ, and ask him to forgive us of our wickedness, and make his presence known to us. Picking up our crosses daily and battling for him. Proclaiming, explaining, and showing the love and grace through faith are the only ways. Our God did love us so much that he sent his only son to die a death not deserved for the redemption through his blood, as a debt paid to make us stand before him righteous and just and proclaim that Jesus is lord and that he paid my way and I live for him (Eph 2:8-9).

Few will grind through the straight and narrow, but for the one who endures, he will be oh so blessed. A relationship is mutual. You have to know him, who is Jesus, for you to enter eternity. It’s not a particular prayer or your works that get you to his presence in paradise, but the relationship with God; Father, Spirit, and Son (Matthew 7:21-23). Many will go down the wide road of destruction, but you have the power to change that. Spend time with him, give him your burdens and he will make all things new. Peace and Love.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold the new has come.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)
