FLAME - Used to Think lyrics
[FLAME - Used to Think lyrics]
Aye shoutout to Dr joel Biermann
(For real, for real)
Who was unapologetically Lutheran
(Aye he went hard)
But he helped me to have an open mind
In a way that I didn’t have (That’s fact)
Coming in (You feel me?)
I used to think like that
Matter of fact I never thought
About them at all
Not about the Ethiopian Church
Eastern Orthodox or Rome (Roman Catholic)
Not about the Assyrian, Armenian
Coptic Church at all
And I ain't know nothing
'bout the Lutheran’s
But I knew who Martin Luther was
I used to think like
That bread and wine were
Elements that represent
I don't think like that
This is my body and blood
He said what He meant
I used to, I used to, I used to, think
Jesus’s death wasn’t for all
It was sufficient for all
Guess that I thought like that
That’s how I was taught
I used to think if he
Fell away from his faith
Then he was never saved
But actually that’s not what the Bible say
It’s not on a Bible page
It’s not hypothetical
If he walked away from his
Faith then he walked away
But I guess it depends on your regula fidei
And what you were taught to say, but
I used to think like that
That Jesus only died for the elect
I used to think like that
That His atoning work was limited
I used to think like that
The only option were Calvinist-Arminian
I used to think like that
I used to think like that that’s cap
I used to think like that that’s cap
I used to think like that
I remember thinking that
I remember thinking back being used
To wrestle with the fact
When I was a Calvinist
Everything was 'bout an idol
We made an idol out of not making idols
Man that kind of cycle stifles you
If you emphasize it more than the Bible do
That’s why when it comes to creation
It feels like there’s been a deflation
(Deflation)
The emphasis mainly on vertical (Vertical)
Diverted from serving vocation
They say that the chief end of man is
To glorify God and enjoy Him forever
(That’s cool)
You know what that sound like to me on
A practical level is coming to together
(Bridge)
Serving your neighbor, enjoying creation
To me Luther said it better (He did)
Instead of focused on affections
No diss to Jonathan Edwards
If our faith justifies us
And God saved and baptized us
We set our gaze outside of us extra nos, but
I used to think like that
That Jesus only died for the elect
I used to think like that
That His atoning work was limited
I used to think like that
The only option were Calvinist-Arminian
I used to think like that
I used to think like that that’s cap
I used to think like that that’s cap
I used to think like that
I used to think like that
