Power to Die

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 an 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 death 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 into your butler
To me is not proper
Peter was crucified
John was boiled alive
And they knew Christ in the flesh
And wasn’t 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 man we ain’t condemned
For Him we give up everything
Every desire and breath in us just to let Him reign
Submitting to the will of His Spirit and not for better things
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 that Etta James
Love beyond the weekend
Trust to the last Scripture
We rise before Easter
And follow Him past Christmas
We wrestle with bad habits
Break 'em like glass 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 death
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 got a 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 kill 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
