[Lecrae, Chinua Hawk - New Reality lyrics]
Dear you, yeah you the person listenin'
It's God usin' me, tryna'
Get your attention, yeah
See, He remembers the first day
That He made you
Moldin' your lungs for the breath
That He gave you
Not to mention the day He saved you
Or when He opened your eyes by the Spirit
Christ was raised through
Did I mention that He forgave you?
And had His flesh ripped off for the
Sin you was a slave to?
Now it seems you're too far gone
You wanna turn back, but you're not sure if
You'll be welcome home
So you figure you'll just leave it alone
But you're addicted to yourself
We both know you can't see it alone
This is an intervention, Jesus intervened
He intercedes on behalf of a sinner's deeds
This is an intervention
Because the Lord hurts
Before it gets worse, stomach another verse
Most times I'm paying no attention
Lose my direction all I chase is vanity
I forget I've been forgiven
Your love I've been given
Your grace on me lavishly
You were born on earth
On my cross You died for me (cross you died)
Forgive my depravity lord You are my reality
Yeah
Cold water we drink hot water we cook
But lukewarm does nothin' it just
Sit's and it looks and that's you
Imagine these as the words of Christ
I remember you love Me, I remember your light
It used to shine bright, but now it's so dim
It used to be about Us
But now it's 'bout them
You can't win playin' heart games
But I love you even when your
Lights off in your dark shame
When you lay down and profane Me
Or when your bloodstream contains the
Things that would defain me
When nobody knows that you claim Me
Or when you mess your life up, get mad
And wanna blame Me i still want you back
I won't punish you
I took that on the cross because I wanted you
I might discipline and chastise
But if you got what you deserve you'd
Be in hell with other bad guys
You made it this far and thats a big move
But your addiction is hurtin'
Your other friends too some of 'em miss you
Some of 'em dissed you
But they was hurtin'
Strugglin' to forgive you
And they hated how addiction got
The best of you
Chose a lie when God promised
The best for you
If you realize you livin' in sin
Just confess and realize you're
Forgiven of sin
It's God usin' me, tryna'
Get your attention, yeah
See, He remembers the first day
That He made you
Moldin' your lungs for the breath
That He gave you
Not to mention the day He saved you
Or when He opened your eyes by the Spirit
Christ was raised through
Did I mention that He forgave you?
And had His flesh ripped off for the
Sin you was a slave to?
Now it seems you're too far gone
You wanna turn back, but you're not sure if
You'll be welcome home
So you figure you'll just leave it alone
But you're addicted to yourself
We both know you can't see it alone
