Focused - "Bow" (TN1002)
Philippians 2:10-11 ...
At the name of Jesus every
knee should bow, in heaven
and on earth, and every
tongue confess that Jesus
Christ is Lord, to the glory of
God our Father.
1. Bow...
A white flag cannot end this bloody war.
No water can cool this fire that burns on.
You've lived in clouds of rebellion that are now being blown away by the winds of
consequence.
The peace in your heart will now be replaced by terror in your eyes
because the fire that will consume you is the fire that you have lit.
The hands you've killed with will decay.
The eyes you've plotted with will melt away.
The light you rebel in is about to be swallowed up by an unfathomable darkness.
You've made yourself your god
and now God will make you a vessel of wrath.
Wipe the tears from your eyes.
Erase the fear from your heart.
Put your knee in the dirt and bow to the God that holds your blood red destiny
in the palm of his awesome hands.
It's your choice...
2. Forever...
Victory is mine as i recover from my wrong doings.
Taste my tears endure hardships that i've been through.
Tear up the grief I've heaped upon myself.
Sacrifice me forever.
Fire of love addicted to the light,
unseen the wonders of your hand.
Like a sword - two sided - sharpened edge
i'll cut through the evil that enslaves me.
I will prevail and learn from my mistakes.
Sacrifice me forever.
Hebrews 13:20-21...
Now may the God of peace who raised the Christ from the dead.
Great shepherd of sheep
and through the very blood of the everlasting covenant.
Make me complete in every work
to do your will pleasing in your sight
throughout Christ to whom be the glory
forever and ever.
3. Walk
Beside Me…
Say you’re a friend, talk is cheap.
It’s not the promises we make, it’s the ones that we keep.
And I will live in darkness no – only in the light.
We’ll work together not in spite.
You say you’re a friend don’t walk in front of me.
Just walk beside me.
Never use a fist only an open hand.
I never intend to hurt only to understand.
Look into my eyes, cause there’s not a blank stare.
It’s obvious if you really care.
Learn from my mistakes and i will learn from yours.
Together we’ll defeat these pressures.
Together we stand no hatred at all.
That’s weakness man it will make us fall.
Bonded by Christ is how we live.
Never to take only to give.
4. Forward…
I’m always
making things out to be more than what they really are.
Without
questioning, seeking, and changing,
how can we
be expected to move too far?
I can’t sit
content or conditioned by what others may say.
I fight
apathy and complacency to hopefully make a dent.
In this i
pray.
Pressing
forward to open blind eyes.
Looking on
to see what’s deep inside.
Moving
closer to first change ourselves,
never
willing to abide to this world’s lies.
No i won’t listen to this world’s lies.
Sometimes i
feel so afraid of what i might be searching for.
Why do i
look for an easy way out?
As my
failure keeps haunting me the answer’s in my reach.
I won’t
give up, i have no doubts in what lies ahead of me.
Moving
forward.
5. Strain…
Times i’ve
spent i’ve spent searching,
looking,
wanting answers but so scared,
so
frightened it won’t be what i want.
Then i
realize my conscious effort to filter out the imperfection in my life.
To seek the
guidance for the truth and remove the time spent wasted, the time lost.
Straining
to achieve.
Facing
reality.
I’m not
apart from my eternity.
Recovered
from afar a past of unbroken dreams only wanting for myself.
So dark to
what i see.
Strain.
Reaching
toward a higher place to save me from this pain.
What to
gain a life of strain a race to run.
Standing up
to no other one but the true God.
6.
Behold…
Fighting a
war
A timeless
hour
Clock still
ticking
there’s a
picture in my head.
An endless
killing, an endless slaughter.
There are
no innocent, all are dead.
Final days
in revelation a prophecy fulfilled.
The dead
will rise on judgment day.
No time to
think.
No time to
hide.
Black ash.
No light.
Die eternal
death.
Behold the
fate you choose.
Behold!
Come into
the light.
A living
water.
Never
thirst.
A voice
inside your head knocking at the door to your heart.
A spirit of
love.
Acceptance
is the key.
(2
Corinthians 5:17…)
if any man
is in Christ he is a new creation.
Old thing
pass away.
Behold all
have become new.
Behold the
fate you choose.
7.
Perfect Will...
Never will
i leave you.
Never will
i forsake you.
‘ Cause now
i stand with confidence.
Lord you
are my healer, provider, redeemer.
And i will
not be afraid for what could a man do to me?
(Romans
12:2…)
I will not
conform any longer to the pattern of this world
but be
transformed by the renewing of my mind.
Then i will
be able to test and approve what God’s will is.
His good,
pleasing, and perfect will.
(1 John
4:4…)
Because the
one who is in me is greater than the one in this world
Humility
when i fall to my knees for not my will but thy will be done.
For i am
not my own.
I was
bought with a price, the price a bloody sacrifice.
And i will
live for you.
You’re the
one to erase my pain.
Oh God,
take me from my minds fight, and i will not be afraid.
For what
can a man do to me?
Never will
i leave you.
And will i
forsake you.
And now i
stand with confidence.
Lord you
are my healer, provider, redeemer.
Humility as
i fall to my knees for not my will but thy will be done.
For i am
not my own.
I was
bought with a price, this price, a merciful sacrifice.
For i can only
see your light.
You’re the
one to erase this pain.
Oh God,
take me from my mind’s fight, and i will not be afraid.
8.
Falling Down...
Excel where
i left off.
To go where
i have gone.
Defeated my
failures.
Still to
stand as one.
Why must i
contribute to hate?
The tears
burning in my eyes.
See the
confusion all around me.
This one’s
told me so many lies.
The walk is
easy.
But we make
it hard.
God give me
the strength ‘cause i’ve fallen down, down so far.
Why must i
contribute to hate?
The tears
burning in my eyes.
I see so
much confusion all around me.
Cause i’ve
been told so many lies.
A new life
now i began.
Once lost
but now i’m found.
Familiar in
this same song.
No more
chains that i’ve been bound.
Saying the
same old thing.
Yeah i’ll
continue on.
Take a look
all around you.
For you
know the battle has been won.
9.
Open My Eyes...
No more
standing all alone so much that i have found.
Love in my
eyes that’s all that you will see but why is it only me?
True life
given on the cross yet we continue to be lost.
Can’t you
see it’s in our grasp?
Our faith
is where we’ll make it last.
Praying God
take my life.
My heart
opened, forgive me.
The weight
that once forced me down now i open my eyes so i can see.
And i’m on
the edge but i’m falling off.
Searching
for truth and i’ll give it all i’ve got.
Open my
eyes.
10.
Blinded...
Blurred
vision inside of here.
I must
destroy my pattern of thought.
My sight
inside a world of dreams is a chain about to break.
My mind
cannot deny this fact that what i
choose to see is not of me but what i feed my eyes.
In my head
this battle goes on.
Cleanse me.
I’ve been
blinded by desires of my flesh.
Dreams of
false reality haunt my head.
Hear my cry
oh God.
Drowning in
a vision of evil i must reverse the path i see.
Destruction
in my mind.
Gives i’m
left blinded.
Rap-part of which we don’t have the lyrics.
Seek the
mind of God.
11.
Absence...
Darkness is
not the opposite of light it is the absence of it,
truth is not
one’s opinion but the knowing through understanding.
Preconceived
ideas based on ignorance will always change.
But the
knowledge of God will always remain the same.
Different
measures are intended to mislead for the manufacturing of hypocrisy.
The naive
believe in everything.
But the
wise will consider every step.
Be cautious
and turn away.
Refuse to
be careless and arrogant.
I refuse to
sell my soul to a mindless system.
Why would i
contribute to the absence of my identity?
