Now let's begin our story... 1 (shai linne) Yo I just got off from work once again my boss is trippin' He has no idea how often I thought of quittin' (I) want to tell him to his face what he can do with his job But I got bills to pay and it's stupid to rob Not to mention I'm a Christian- been saved ten years Yeah I had my ups and downs but all in all I'm still here Yet something's not clear- I need the ear of my Creator Because reading the Bible got me asking 'why?' like Jada In my mouth is the worst taste, 'cause we're a cursed race Why did God create Adam and Eve in the first place? An omnipotent God is not dependent at all Can't nobody tell me He couldn't have prevented the fall The Word I read it and saw that God, from the foundation Of the earth had already chose some for salvation What's up with the rest? I guess they're going to hell I want to file a complaint but got no one to tell Because the Christians I know smile like everything's gravy But deep down inside, I'm angry at the God who made me The Word of God is cutting me like a poison sword I'm not sure how much longer I'll be avoiding girls I've got too much of the world in me to enjoy the Lord And too much of the Lord in me to enjoy the world At that moment I peeped my thoughts were growing too deep I said, "Whatever, I'm smoking some weed and going to sleep" 2 (shai linne) As I tossed and turned in my slumber I was lost in fervent wonder Because I saw a furnace and heard thunder I couldn't believe it, in front of me now I was seeing Not one but two mighty, powerful beings And nothing that man can tell in pictures Could ever prepare my eyes to behold these angelic figures An angel and a demon, I thought I was dead But then demon opened his mouth and this is what he said: 3 (evangel) We want to have your faith disturbed- get mad and hate to serve your Boss- Behind the scenes we agitate your nerves With demonic schemes- We'll put holes 'til we took sole Control of your good soul or gained a foothold You know the likes of this: Hell's angels- demons, and not the motorcyclists I want to bring you down like detox, I've been around for epochs Please stop asking 'Why' like that cat from D-block We learned our lesson- we sinned in His sight Now we living in fright because we have spurned His blessings It's absurd to question- I've been in His light Now I fight His infinite might with a third of heaven We assemble- read the Memo- we also believe and tremble although We'll all go to a place for the unlawful Justly confined with the devil Where it's custom designed for us rebels Where some are called "Christian", They're on a lost mission 'Cause, faith without works needs a mortician A facade, because I'm from squad that sees Christ As the Son of God and still won't receive life Tossed from the heavenlies, a place calm and beautiful Ecstasy without the street pharmaceuticals But through God's imputable Righteousness man gets a life of bliss thanks to the price of Christ's crucible Wow, You know story We'll get the crucial judgment that's useful for Jehovah's glory So while you want to claim faith and trust Jesus' namesake Make it genuine- or you'll get the same fate 4 (shai linne) I was gripped with fear when his words hit my ears I never thought a vision could be this severe But is this a vision here? I was more surprised When right before my eyes The demon disappeared I peeped the angel- thought his holiness would bite my head off Instead he tossed me a bright red cloth to wipe the sweat off I've never been so afraid- my heart, it was weak He came closer, looked me in my eyes and started to speak: 5 (timothy brindle) Since man's seldom seeing The truth he can't tell- so hear from this angelic being A divine messenger And I don't resemble chubby babies with wings That's a lying replica I'm a ministering spirit who serves Christ And those who will inherit eternal life I've seen all the days of history Yet I'm still gazing into this amazing mystery That God would make humans from dirt And after removing their curse make them a beautiful Church Have you seen in the heavens to behold His Son In the immediate presence of the Holy One? Nah, be thankful kid Cause sinful humans are unable to see His glorious face and live And if you're in terror when seeing me How much more will you be scared of the Deity who created me? That's why Cherubim and Seraphim wouldn't dare to sin 'Cause they're scared of Him after peering at His face And no angel has experienced grace And if I sinned, He wouldn't have saved me Consider His goodness, you shouldn't be angry You've lived violently with pride and greed I've lived entirely with piety In compliancy to His dynasty Yet no Messiah has ever died for me See, I'm right with God 'cause I'm sinless Men are right with God from forgiveness I've been shouting His praises for thousands of ages I bow in amazement at His power and patience Yet I've encountered He's gracious Instead of Him devouring pagans, He's vowing to save them Italians and Asians, bountiful nations Will worship with me though I never doubted His cadence And don't be mad at Him because Adam sinned Us angels bugged out He didn't smash him then Yeah it's true He allowed the fall of man But He used it now to exalt the Lamb The Lord, who's wise, permits existence of sin To be glorified in His forgiveness to men So listen, my friend- your complaints are many If anything, be amazed that He is saving any Yeah you confess the Lord But those who truly profess are pure- Make your election sure Are you saved or not? You're faced with a choice Please repent to make us angels rejoice Are you saved or not? You're faced with a choice So please repent to make us angels rejoice 6 (shai linne) The angel bounced- I immediately fell on my face Because I knew God had sent him to me to tell of His grace I was swelling with praise- I said, "Lord have mercy on me! You sent your elect angel and one that You cursed to warn me" My murmurs were persistent- the nerve of this Christian! Served with this vision even though Your Word is sufficient I deserve to be loathed for my sinful distrust And like Your servant Job I repent in the dust Forgive me for what's occurred in the dark My doubt and my sin go hand in hand like lovebirds in a park What I was speaking was hazardous and equally blasphemous Your glory's more important than creaturely happiness Jesus you're fabulous! I cling to Your cross to have my sin tossed Like that fallen angel I should have been lost Alarm clock went off- It's just a dream- tempted to doubt Looked on my pillow- saw a bright red cloth
