Shai Linne - My Portion lyrics
[Shai Linne - My Portion lyrics]
Would you be satisfied to go to heaven
Have everybody there in your family
That you want there have all the health and
Restoration of your prime
And everything you dislike
About yourself fixed
Have every recreation you've ever
Dreamed available to you
And have infinite resources of
Money to spend?
Would you be satisfied if God weren't there?
Lord, you are my God, yo
In heaven, on earth, I ain't
Got nobody but you, yo
And you all I need, for real
Yo, it makes sense that I
Should write this song
It’s been a while now since you
Turned the light switch on
And so powerfully opened up my eyes to see
Reality, now I’m free (check it out)
Reminisce on my Christ less days
Evidence- my life and ways
It was like I was forever bent
I lived a life of decadence
Then you sovereignly intervened and I’ve been
On your team ever since
I was saved and am being saved- present tense
And will be saved from the deadly pestilence
Your holiness got me worshipping
You with reverence
You’re infinite and transcendent
Yet with friends
Your love letter, the Old and New Testaments
Also the Christian’s best defense-It
Speaks of Christ, who was heaven sent
Forgive us for ever being negligent or
Hesitant to represent His excellence
The world chases after the
Cars with better tints
Your people long after Your
Glory- a better glimpse
The Author of my faith
Praise Your marvelous grace
The type I can call and embrace
When I fall on my face
So I’m lifting up my hands
And I’m raising my voice
Even though the world thinks I
Made the craziest choice
They can laugh all they want, Lord
I do not care and I don’t want to go to
Heaven if God is not there
Whom have I in Heaven but You?
And earth has nothing I desire but You
My flesh and my heart may fail however
The Lord is my portion forever
The penalty for my sin deflected-
So glad I’ve been elected
I spread my hands out to
My Savior as I genuflected
And then reflected on Christ
The globe spinner
(You) turned this out-of-control sinner
Into a soul winner
I can’t take credit for it- You’re too holy
I didn’t choose you, Lord, you chose me
The actual situation is ever since my youth
My natural inclination was to
Resist your truth
I was dead you said "Live!"
Now you’re teaching me to love you for who
You are and not just what You give
It’s so divine- to maintain through the pain
It blows my mind how You
Came the way You came not a conquering hero
But a Suffering Servant
Lord, You died for a zero
Who doesn’t deserve it
You take shady dudes who hate the
Truth- Give them faith in You
Make them new creations too- All praises due
So praise Him- don’t hesitate from
The right to left
Just thank Him and meditate on
His life and death
Resurrected and exalted- forever so high
And why He chose me I might never know why
But, I’m lifting up my hands
And I’m raising my voice
Even though the world thinks I
Made the craziest choice
They can mock all they want
Lord I do not care and I don’t want to go to
Heaven if God is not there
Whom have I in Heaven but You?
And earth has nothing I desire but You
My flesh and my heart may fail however
The Lord is my portion forever
You could give me the Lex
The coupe, the Beamer, the Benz
The sex, the loot, the Cream or the ends
But next to the truth of Jesus, friends
It’s worth nothing it’s worth nothing
And Lord
Don’t let me get caught up in my own tapes
I saw what happened when Noah got
Drunk off His own grapes
So many ways to stumble-
Many boastful and loud
The Lord gives grace to the
Humble and opposes the proud
The Holy Spirit’s a great deposit
My life- He stabilized it
Today the object is to stay
In the prayer closet and when I come out
May they know that the Master lives in me
Through passion for ministry
And loving sacrificially
No matter what, Lord
Wean me off of the world
Can’t believe I found the costliest pearl
(it’s crazy) for the glory of your name
I’ve been made your own
By your grace justified through faith alone
That’s why I’m lifting up my hands
And I’m raising my voice
Even though the world thinks I
Made the craziest choice
They can laugh all they want
Lord- I do not care
And I don’t want to go to
Heaven if God is not there
Whom have I in Heaven but You?
And earth has nothing I desire but You
My flesh and my heart may fail however
The Lord is my portion forever
Heaven will be inhabited by
People who love God!
God is our treasure whom have I
In heaven but thee? Nothing!
And on earth there is nothing
That I desire besides thee
My whole life is devoted to helping people
Fall out of love with the world
And fall in love with God
Behold the beauty, the glory
The justice, the goodness, the
Wisdom, the truth, the grace
The mercy, the patience
The whole panorama of the
Perfections of Almighty God
And let yourself fall in love with Him
As the satisfaction of your
Soul and that will
Be the pathway that leads to glory
Have everybody there in your family
That you want there have all the health and
Restoration of your prime
And everything you dislike
About yourself fixed
Have every recreation you've ever
Dreamed available to you
And have infinite resources of
Money to spend?
Would you be satisfied if God weren't there?
Lord, you are my God, yo
