The First Missionary
最初の宣教師
Here's how it started, the Godhead before this
Formless and void little orb was in orbit
Before this chaotic, star-less, darkness
Was cosmically formed set a course uncharted
Before this God gave His glory an audience
Honor applause and awe for the Artist
Before this, God gave order to all this
Flawless, rawness, wrought with, thoughts of
Rocks in the waters, flocks in the forest
Broccoli and boars and oxes and orcas
Ostrich, orchids, oranges, orchards
Cod and
The colts and dogs and the dolphins
Sharks and the storks and koalas and walrus
Foxes and frogs and unstoppable forces
Small and enormous, monsters, harmless
A song with a, spotless, gorgeous
Before this God had a talk in their office
Plottin' to solve this impossible problem
Not yet upon us the conflict: God set
At odds with His offspring imago deformed and
Constantly warring obnoxious and torn
In their conscience, born into bondage, morbid
Godless, a horrible hostage, a corpse that
Can walk but ignores Him, watch 'cause before this
Fall like
In August the squad had resolved it
Abba, authored that Yahweh incarnate
Would drop in to squash it, flogged and scourged then
A cross would support Him, slaughtered and tortured
The cost was a fortune, God could afford it
But not men, poor and, obstinate orphans
Adoption secured them, bought when he offered
His body and bore sin stopping the torment
Gossips and whores can acknowledge the Lord
It's accomplished, more: His accomplice assures us
The promise endures and, washes us pure
In the process, cures when, nonsense, lures us
And thoughts get distorted, drama gets thwarted
Apologies soften their offense, blockin'
Demonic endorsements, pop-ups aborted
We're models adornin' the gospel we warn with
Before this, God took a walk in the garden
And sought them, lost in the knowledge they'd gotten
"Where are you" he calls them, gospel's imparted
He sparks mission off with, doctrine and offering
Before this, jawn gets exhaustive and y'all get
Caught with the content, locked in your noggin
And stop with, scholars, jargon and arguments
Dog, it's important I charge you to walk this
Before this
Is off at the onset I'm warnin'
Y'all know your boy gets long winded often
I'm stoppin', shortly, the false is report
Logic contorted and boxed in compartments
God isn't, nor missions, all is involved and
Walls need to fall quick. Saw how it started?
Follow along and we'll talk movin' onward
And watch how it all ends, pause it
Start this off wit' rawness
(Chea) spark this war, get honest
(C'mon fam) launch this art at targets
(Drop 'em) bomb this garbage hardest
(The mission is) God's not ours, get on it
(Commission) baton's in our grip, walk it
(We enter) concerts, malls and markets
(Till it ends bruh) problem solved, i'm off this
