Shai Linne - Ichabod lyrics

Heavy…Heavy…Heavy is the burden
So I gotta write this
To break the silence, I had to fight
This: "Aw, here we go, man
They ain’t gonna like this"
What’s really going on? I gotta wonder, man
Am I the only one? I don’t understand
Cause the game ain’t the same
When the fame and acclaim
Make ashamed to proclaim the Son of Man
We got record sales, videos and wardrobes
Twitter followers, movie deals, award shows
Older tears mixed with joys
Of the newer brethren
For more insight, turn to Ezra 2: 11
I gotta question that’s sure to hit you
How do you know if the Lord is with you?
How do you know if the Lord has left you?
Can’t tell it by if you’re more successful
The book of Judges chapter 16
The 20th verse, something was missing
Today, who’s Samson, who’s the Philistines?
Anybody else see the guillotine?

Christian Hip-hop got me
Feeling brokenhearted
We’re such a long way off, man
From where we started
We think we’re winning
But Satan got us outsmarted
I wonder if the glory of God has departed
Lord, help us! Before You
Choose a different squad we need to repent
Or else we might get the rod
I can’t call it- It seems
Like we’re sick of God
What you call that, huh? Ichabod
It’s called Ichabod, It’s called Ichabod
What you call that, huh? It’s called Ichabod
It’s called Ichabod, It’s called Ichabod
What you call that, huh? It’s called Ichabod

The book of Hebrews 2: 1- CHH
Really gotta heed this today
We gotta pay close attention to what
We heard from the Word
Otherwise we gonna drift away
I think we're seeing that
Look at the content
A lot of self-glory, a lot of nonsense
Now we drool for the music of fools
Got a new set of rules
Are we losing our conscience?
We got publicists, platforms and more shows
What’s the difference between the
"mainstream" and "broad road"?
Do we wanna glorify the Lord any more?
For more insight, turn to 1 Samuel 4
Whatever happened to prayer and fasting?
Seeking God’s face, not about just rapping
Could it be the devil has found us napping?
Are we now happy that crowds are clapping?
We exist for the glory of Jesus
Man, we better recognize- God don’t need us
He can raise rocks up to tell His story
With or without us, He’ll get His glory!

Christian Hip-hop got me
Feeling broken hearted
We’re such a long way off, man
From where we started
We think we’re winning
But Satan got us outsmarted
I wonder if the glory of God has departed
Lord, help us! Before You
Choose a different squad we need to repent
Or else we might get the rod
I can’t call it it seems
Like we’re sick of God
What you call that, huh? Ichabod
It’s called Ichabod, It’s called Ichabod
What you call that, huh? It’s called Ichabod
It’s called Ichabod, It’s called Ichabod
What you call that, huh? It’s called Ichabod

"The art form you’re doing here- What is
It known for in the world? It
Is known for sin and immorality it
Is known to be vile and
To cause destruction but yesterday and today
I saw the same thing happen to
A music form that has happened to
My life god has taken it, cleaned
It off, made it new
And filled it with life but let
Me give you a warning that’s
Very important as a preacher
I know this: whenever eloquence
Is more important than the words spoken
There is no power and whenever a
Music medium becomes more important than the
Truth it seeks to communicate
It’s useless" Paul Washer to CHH
