Andy Mineo - Jesus Over Hip Hop lyrics
[Andy Mineo - Jesus Over Hip Hop lyrics]
Jesus over Hip-Hop
He died
Hit the grave and that's why we praise Him
Jesus over Hip-Hop that's the equation
Author of salvation, blood make us blameless
Jesus over Hip-Hop that's the equation
I used to be the MC that was battlin'
Tearin' 'em other rappers down so I
Could take the cash and win now I battle sin
My greatest passion is to point
The masses to the cross
Where He had to get the wrath of
Almighty God poured on His back
With the lashes of forty all
For the sake of man became cursed on a tree
Took replacement of my works so through
Faith I could be free
I'm praisin' Him frequently, speakin' these?
Teachers to people please
See ministry over beats and
Ninety cycle frequencies
Speakin' the universal language of music
Could reach the streets
Preachin' Jesus the only reason I
Plead and peep these deeds
You can cop that line up
And chop them rhymes up
But stop if your walk ain't line up
That's why I put the rock in the center
Only rock for a splendor
Pray and watch, I got to remember
He died
Hit the grave and that's why we praise Him
Jesus over Hip-Hop that's the equation
Author of salvation, blood make us blameless
Jesus over Hip-Hop that's the equation
Everybody wanna flow, be a Christian rapper
Get off the stage
Don't wanna be a Christian after
Wanna get they records mixed and mastered
Rock stages, the same
Maybe don't flip the pages
Of Scripture after, nah
That's twisted backwards like
(reversed audio)
And they never be comin' around
But wanna be pastors, why?
James tells not all should be teachers
Cause we're judged more harshly
Now peep this
You teachin' everytime your starin'
Through them speakers
So why be worried 'bout? through Jesus
More than carin' 'bout sneakers
I wanna see affections for
The ressurected Lord
And not just in the record stores
And the reason why I'm pressin' y'all is so
We don't make idols out our craft
That's the lesson y'all
Cause we see the beats and rhymes work
But the Bible says go and make disciples
Don't just meet up at a concert
He died
Hit the grave and that's why we praise Him
Jesus over Hip-Hop that's the equation
Author of salvation, blood make us blameless
Jesus over Hip-Hop that's the equation
I love the cardboard, the break beats
The rappin' and graffiti
But that shouldn't be the only
Reason why we meet
If we stay there we all milk what we need
Need
Prayer and Bible study, accountability weekly
And there ain't nothin' wrong with
Havin' a passion for rappin'
As long as it ain't surpassin' El Shaddai
I see so many make a
Pen and paper their savior
And then they don't find peace in
The storm and wonder why, man
I wanna see abandonment to Christ
Takin' our hearts and examinin'
Them under the light
Peepin' the motives that control us
Cause if we lose focus of the cross
We're hopeless, ministry starts chokin' us
I'm so broken cause
I fear that you don't know
Ministry doens't measure your
Spiritual growth
If you're Christians, where does Christ rank?
That's why it's Jesus over, well
You fill in the blank
He died
Hit the grave and that's why we praise Him
Jesus over Hip-Hop that's the equation
Author of salvation, blood make us blameless
Jesus over Hip-Hop that's the equation
I used to be the MC that was battlin'
Tearin' 'em other rappers down so I
Could take the cash and win now I battle sin
