Bryann T - Purpose lyrics

Sanctified in the mighty name of Jesus
I tell you all the time, man
If you wanna know where I'm headed
You gotta know where I been
What God saved me from?
Destruction, evil, perversion, corruption
Murder all that wicked stuff in my heart!
The only thing that can set me free
Was the blood of Jesus Christ, man
I come from a dark side of
Life where God literally, man
Let his light penetrate through the darkness
And took me out that pit
I thank you my lord!

So Texas, so Tennessee
Grew up with homicidal tendencies
Man, and you would think that
It was ten of me
The way I’d hit with such intensity
So evil, so prideful
And so stupid to be Lucifer's disciple
And Makaveli had me feeling suicidal
1995 on my southside, I'm a rider
Running in convenience stores
Robbery in progress
Juvenile delinquent with my twin
As my accomplice
And malt liquor and percocets
Searching who to murder next
Woke up in a nervous sweat
Sin was my eternal death
Yo, we all was born with birth defects
This Earth was cursed with sin and
Empty souls that thirst for death
Look, we always was the first to flex
And you was nerds to me if all
You did was surf the net, uh
I said I didn’t show the church respect
But now I show the church respect!
Without the Lord I'm incomplete
Remove all of my disbelief!
So christian, so kingdom
And so Jesus, so forgiven, so freedom
So christian, so kingdom
And so Jesus, so forgiven, so freedom
Boy, you see the way it switched?
From the darkness to the light
Jesus saved me from the pit
And just for me you let them
Hit you with their fist
And smother you in ridicule and
Cover you in spit
And criminal minds like mine at times
You know they still exist
He came to heal the blind, mayne
He came to heal the sick!
And criminal minds like mine at times
You know they still exist
He came to heal the blind, mayne
He came to heal the sick!
Christianity is so misrepresented
We apologise for those who left resentment
No disrespect to my family and decendents
But you won't find no
Profanity in my sentence
For me to get my point across
I don't need to cuss at you
I'm a new creation look
I won't point no guns at you
So christian, so kingdom
And so Jesus, so forgiven, so freedom
So christian, so kingdom
And so Jesus, so forgiven, so freedom
Aye, the Apostle Paul
He made a clear distinction
Between two different minds
One being the spiritual mind
And the second being a fleshed mind
In Romans 8: 5-7 he says
For those who live according to the flesh
They set their minds on the
Things of the flesh
And those living according to
The spirit set their
Minds to the things of the spirit
But to set the mind on the flesh is death
But to set your mind on the
Spirit is life and it's peace
The good person out of the good
Treasure in his heart produces good
While the evil person out of
The evil treasure produces evil
For out of the abundance of
The heart is mouth speak
I'm asking you right now
What kind of treasure you got in your heart?
Is it good? Is it evil?
Renewed heart, renewed mind
In the mighty name of Jesus carry-on!
