Lecrae - I’m a Saint lyrics
[Lecrae - I’m a Saint lyrics]
Kadosh Old Testament hagios New Testament
Inherently, the Word means to holy, we know
In not holy in our own terms
But Christ Who loved makes us
Holy so because we satisfied
The wrath of God, the beef
Has been crushed, now we got a new identity
Called a saint
Yup! Hey, hey
Used to be where I could
Only trust me and myself
And in that heavy metal Devil that would
Send me straight to Hell wit' it
Thought it was no helping it
Selfishness was celibate i'd sell a bit
But I'd make sure I don't sit
Up in that cell a bit
Yell a bit only when hurt came for certain
Illiterate, ain't know that the Word came
Then that Word hit me and unblinded me
Jesus paid a price for me
That's how I gained the right to be the
Son of God I'd like to be
Changed my heart, gave me a
Desire for His work, man
Kill me if you want, but I'm
Gon' get back out that dirt, man
Not yet what I'm gonna be
But not what I used to be
I bless His name forever Who would
Chose me and start using me
Used to love my sinning full of greed
Full of hate i might say that I loved Jesus
But that talk was really fake
I'd be lusting for ya cousin if
It wasn't for His Grace
Yeah, he took me outta nothing and
He made ya boy a saint
Yeah, they tell me sugarcoat it
Dumb it down but I can't
Might as well deny the Christ, be ashamed
But I ain't i'm a saint (I'm a saint)
I'm a saint (I'm a saint)
I'm a saint (I'm a saint)
I'm a saint (I'm a saint)
'Til the day I see the grave
I'm going hard in the paint
It's the only we hope we got
That's why I'll die for my faith
I'm a saint (I'm a saint)
I'm a saint (I'm a saint)
I'm a saint (I'm a saint)
I'm a saint (I'm a saint)
You got to understand Jesus
Agreed back in eternity
To sign a bloody covenant and take
A deadly turn for me he ain't just agreed
Fulfilled it to the death of Him
Took that bloody cup that's meant for us
Straight to the neck and yeah
Swallowed all that bitterness, pain
And affliction ain't a soul in Hell with
Pain comparable to this one
Brought me to repentance, homie
I'm blood purchased
Daily I'm conformed to His
Holiness so I worship
Jesus finished the work
He resurrected on high
That means that He beat death
And best believe so will I
See some believe they can fly
But I believe I can die
Resurrect, leave the Earth
And live forever with God
He will march through the sky while
The stars sing His praises
Planets dance around while the
Universe is amazed and
Me I get to gaze upon His beauty for days
Man
If I could be anything, baby, I'd be a saint
Yeah, they tell me sugarcoat it
Dumb it down but I can't
Might as well deny the Christ, be ashamed
But I ain't i'm a saint (I'm a saint)
I'm a saint (I'm a saint)
I'm a saint (I'm a saint)
I'm a saint (I'm a saint)
'Til the day I see the grave
I'm going hard in the paint
It's the only we hope we got
That's why I'll die for my faith
I'm a saint (I'm a saint)
I'm a saint (I'm a saint)
I'm a saint (I'm a saint)
I'm a saint (I'm a saint)
1 Corinthians Chapter 1
Paul calls one of the worst churches
In the New Testament saints
Not because of man's choosing
But clearly becuase
Of God's choosing through the Lord
Jesus Christ
Now, now you might think I'm crazy
Like some kinda urban misfit
But first I hated church
I'd only pray to get my wish list
I'd be just like you
"doin'-my dance-up-in-the- club" folk
I promise I ain't choose it
I was chosen to loved on
Eyes low, blowin' dro
That's the life I used to know
But Jesus chopped me up and slowed me
Down just like that Houston flow
A dead man 'til somebody hit
Me with the hardest facts
The Gospel hit my heart
I guess that's what you call a heart attack
I'm looking at Ephesians 2 like
"What did Jesus see in you?"
It's nothin' by His grace He chose to
Love on folk like me and you
And I don't understand it, homie
I never planned it
I was chasing money and fast women and, man
Then
I met the great I am, Son of Man or the Lamb
Snatched ya boy up outta Hell and
Got me workin' for His plans
Used think I was the man 'til I met Him
All that arrogance and pride, I
Dead 'em and fo'get 'em, i'm a saint
Yeah, they tell me sugarcoat it
Dumb it down but I can't
Might as well deny the Christ, be ashamed
But I ain't i'm a saint (I'm a saint)
I'm a saint (I'm a saint)
I'm a saint (I'm a saint)
I'm a saint (I'm a saint)
'Til the day I see the grave
I'm going hard in the paint
It's the only we hope we got
That's why I'll die for my faith
I'm a saint (I'm a saint)
