FLAME - Give Us the Truth, Pt. 2 lyrics
[FLAME - Give Us the Truth, Pt. 2 lyrics]
After the Platinum Souls tour I did
With Cross Movement I said
My goodbyes cause I had to
Fly back to St louis
I left the tour early for
My first semester in school
I was exposed to so much truth that I
Had to choose between what I
Had learned and what I
Was taught to do at my church on my
Zone I was so confused
The first Sunday morning back
It was like culture shock
Watching the shepherd and
Sheep explode like a soda pop
Their heads was shaking they
Shaking over these shiesty sermons
People spitting and shouting but
Nobody's discerning I left the
Building my feelings were crushed
I felt forsaken the one place
I was supposed to
Come for restoration and worship of
A holy God and exalt
Him in praises spent the
Whole prayer time rebuking
The Satan spent the whole
Sermon time just talking bout
Money while I was dying
Inside and spiritually hungry
That's what we need if
We gone properly teach
If we gone seek and we gone properly reach
(give us the truth) that's what
We need if we
Gone carry our cross if we gone
Effectively disciple the lost
(give us the truth) that's what we
Need if we gone walk
Up in holiness and boldness
And meek and lowliness
(give us the truth) that's what we
Need in this race we
Running proper lessons as we
Wait for His Second Coming
I left the crib moved into
The dorms so depressed
That I ventured in porn it was a crazy thing
I felt the disconnect from Jesus'
Arms so I ceased to
Write these rhythms and poems
To disobey the King
I told my teachers that I
Was living in sin and
My bible I'd never read it
Again and threw it
In the closet and anything
That had to do with
God Marcus T he was going the opposite as
A lifestyle I called Phanatik and Tonic
On the cell and said
From ministry that I was gonna
Chill cause I was
In no position to minister to
Anybody at all cause I
Wasn't sure if I was a Christian at that
Moment dog I started skipping classes
Hanging with the masses and
My days were black and grey
Like cigarette ashes all
I know is that I wanted to die but suicide
Meant meeting the God that
I thought forsook me
But it was obvious God in his
Providence put me with
People to guide me and got me out of this
During the chapel service a cat
Named Paul Washer preached the
Gospel and drove me on to the Lord's altar
And I confessed my sin and He
Pressed reset again I
Started over felt like a solider
For Jehovah I
Called my old pastor and apologized
For how I behaved
But as of that day we agreed to go
Our separate ways I met this
Girl named Beth who told
Me about a church home first I visit became
A member and then it was on then the pastor
Gave me a stack of books now I'm
Back with raps and hooks
Took a summer and spent
Three hundred dollars on tapes and
Books and learned from
These biblical scholars now I'm
Back and I'm walking in
Light living my life
Glorifying Jesus the Christ
With Cross Movement I said
My goodbyes cause I had to
Fly back to St louis

My first semester in school

Had to choose between what I
