116, FLAME - My City (Ephesians) lyrics

Let me tell you about my city little homie
That's if you ain't read
Where they practice
Black magic and speak to the dead
Minds fried like bleach to the head
From the stuff being preached by
The Greeks if you read
Our main attraction is our main
Distraction thanks for asking
Actually I can't stand her who is she?
She draws every man and every woman from
Every land to her temple of Diana
She's regarded as a sacred goddess
One of the seven wonders of the world
It's obvious the Christ less-ness in my city
To worship a many-breasted mummy-looking girl
Under the Romans my city is free
So you can only imagine the
Things that's going on
That's why believers here in Ephesus
Have no choice but to cling to the throne
When we got the letter from Paul
My dawg was locked in chains
This was the means by which the doctrine came
Of the teaching explaining the gospel mayne
From the Apostle Paul written to
All the saints in Ephesus
He started off with some definish-tions
Explicitly was written for Christians
He made it plain it wasn't a plan B
He predestined to save a portion of humanity
Through His own Son for His own glory
Through His Son's blood
Said he was praying for us that our eyes
Will see the hope of the call
The riches of glory His inheritance
He has in us all
Said we was saved by grace through faith
Faith's a gift so faith through grace
In light of that we shouldn't
Live like we used to
It's crucial that we don't do
What we used to do

It blessed my heart to read how
God revealed to Paul this mystery
How we were far from God with no peace
We can't lie dawg we been foul
Cats might even know us as Gentiles
In other words we are not Jewish
We'd still be dead in our sin
If God did not do this
Tear down the wall between Jews and Gentiles
Praise God now I can be His child
Now we can walk in unity with no more beef
And keep the unity of the Spirit
In the bond of peace
And share our gifts as we edify one another
No harsh joking, being corrupt
Lying on each other
Putting off the old man and
Putting on the new
In our marriages, families, even on our jobs
The new nature affecting every
Area of our lives
The whole armor is applied cause
We soldiers for God
