FLAME - How Long lyrics
[FLAME - How Long lyrics]
I question myself yo' Flame
Why are you tryin'
To live without the Lion of
Judah inside you are dyin'
Not communin' with the God of Mount Zion
Can't you see you're denyin'
The very God they can't break
Down to a science
I know you're young and you see some
Things that you think you are missin'
Man you trippin' you're missin' nothin'
Get back on your mission
You followed the flesh next you
Would wallow in mess
Don't let thinkin' bout sex throw you back
Like a you're Mitchell and Ness
Don't get weary in your well doin'
You were doin' well until you let
Your well ruin and run dry
Tryin' to fulfill them selfish ambitions
Making sinful decisions without repentance
Leaves only contention
Don't forget you're a professin' Christian
Them lyrics you've written-
They don't mean nothin' unless
They match your livin'
No one ever received elevation
Dibblin' And dabblin' and
Rappin' with procrastination
How long has it been
Since we've communicated
Oh Lord I'm tired of sin
It keeps me humiliated
So much sin in the world we
In and I've been regenerated
Oh Lord I need Jesus, Jesus, Jesus oh
How long has it been?
I haven't been girded with the full armor
I've deserted your Word it turned to
Nervousness and then full drama
It's better for me to have never known
Than to know the truth and turn
Back to what is wrong
That's like spewin' from my own stomach
Then turnin' around and eatin' my own vomit
When I've been made clean and
I don't mean Comet
Lord break me abase me make me face holiness
Shake me shape me make me face loneliness
Redeem me rescue this vessel press through
So much just to get next
To you it's stressful
It helps to confess my test
It's just to bless you
Disconnected I need to connect to you
Where can I go to escape from your presence
You're omnipresent you're present in hell
And present in heaven
Plus I'm weary and wounded
My theory's consumed in
Iniquity's union my history is
Sick with influence
How long has it been
Since we've communicated
Oh Lord I'm tired of sin
It keeps me humiliated
So much sin in the world we
In and I've been regenerated
Oh Lord I need Jesus, Jesus, Jesus oh
How long has it been?
Lord let these broken bones rejoice in a song
Givin' you glory until I get home
Never takin' my freedom and overthrow
Your authority on the throne
Livin' it holy until I get home
Desperate measures will I take from now on
To stay away from what I'm knowin' is wrong
Selfcontrol because my suffering is long
No more will I ignore the fact that it's on
Prayin' until you come back for your own
I'm fearfully and I'm wonderfully made
Elected and affected by
Your irresistible grace
And Lord that means something
Take my heart and then clean something
Make me mature and help me endure please
Deliver me from the guilt and the filth
Find me on my knees
Knelt down about to put my face to the ground
When I start renewin' my mind it'll lessen
The times I have to sing
Why are you tryin'
To live without the Lion of
Judah inside you are dyin'
Not communin' with the God of Mount Zion
Can't you see you're denyin'
The very God they can't break
Down to a science
I know you're young and you see some
Things that you think you are missin'
Man you trippin' you're missin' nothin'
Get back on your mission
You followed the flesh next you
Would wallow in mess
Don't let thinkin' bout sex throw you back
Like a you're Mitchell and Ness
Don't get weary in your well doin'
You were doin' well until you let
