FLAME - Cross Movement lyrics

I'm gonna go back way back
Like '99 when Christ
Exchanged my mind it was divine used to rap
In the world before I rapped in the church
Heard gospel rap and said this could happen
To work so first thing I got rid of my
Cds that were secular said that if I
Really wanted to see Jesus I would get rid
Of them replace them with these cds
That were preachin' and teachin' promoting
Jesus took a trip
To the Christian bookstore just
To get equipped
So can look more like Christ in my listening
Choice didn't know enough scripts
To consider His voice so I stepped to a
Smaller section even though
It was small it had a broad selection
Of all cats spittin' gospel
Rap was blown away
Dawg in the zone that day man

Had to have spent a hundred
Bucks unraveling wrappers of cds
As I run to my truck really excited and
Happy as I'm poppin' them in
Drenched and drowning in
Verses full of doctrines of men but nothin'
That made me really wanna stop in my sin I
Was robbed my God they
Were pullin' hostages in
But yet this was all I knew so as
Far as I was concerned everything they said
Was cool but some cats I
Just knew wasn't spittin'
The truth it all changed when I heard this
Particular group something new but I
Couldn't really explain these
Dudes weren't afraid of saying
Jesus' name and
At the time this was considered
As taboo rappers sayin'
Jesus' name would make them a bad group I'm
From the Midwest we like our beats slow they
Rep Christ over beats that were East coast

I thank the Lord and I thank JR the two
That introduced me to CMR in the store
That day was a gorgeous day cause of that
Moment we are where we are today I
Went crazy when I put them headphones on in
The store so long thought I was dead
And gone matter a fact the cd was House
Of Reps it turned 3D teachin' how
To rep I wanted to follow the steps of Jesus
More closer cause they gave the gospel more
Exposure than they did even in my church home
For righteousness I hungered and got my
Thirst on though cats may
Come across and abuse
It Lord you sparked the
Cross centered movement
In my life you used the Cross Movement who
Always sticks close to cross centered music
