Shai Linne, Ant, Through Hymn - Take Up And Read lyrics
[Shai Linne, Ant, Through Hymn - Take Up And Read lyrics]
We gotta take up and read
Or we will never proceed
In growing up into maturity
We oughta take heed
In these last days what we need
We gotta take up and read
And be the People of the Book-of the Book!
Gotta-gotta be the People of the Book!
Men in the bondage of the will
Sin is the preference
And unwilling to believe
Got their fists to the heavens
None desiring God with religious affections
Need a modern reformation
So peer in this table talk
B we’re in a war field
So I’ll make it plain to all without Christ
We’re sinners in the hands of an angry God
We forgot the Trinity but Christ was slain
Though sin is scarlet He can
Make it white as James
And change the heart to worship
With reverence and awe
In pursuit of holiness to forever adore
Yea, saints – we got a glorious King
Lord of the rings
Around Saturn, spoke the world into being
My place, condemned He stood
Question: where do you stand?
Because Christ is divine yet like Carl
A true man
According to plan, slaughtered the Lamb
He’s more than gold’s worthy
Deserves all that I am read
We gotta take up and read
Or we will never proceed
In growing up into maturity
We oughta take heed
In these last days what we need
We gotta take up and read
And be the People of the Book-of the Book!
Gotta-gotta be the People of the Book!
I was abhorring allegiance to
The Lord of Ephesians
Disagreed with Johnny Mac on The
Gospel According to Jesus
While exploring the regions in
A vanity contest as the truth warred over
My vanishing conscience
Thoughts were all dung
Debased the God of Wisdom
So far from His law, son
I had Him made in our image
That depiction of Him stretched on
The cross for me
Brought conviction that ushered in
More confessions than Augustine
Within religion that was pompous and a lie
God still made my redemption
Accomplished and applied
Sought and found grace through the
Word of God in English
Now I serve Him out in Phoenix
Through art for God’s sake
It takes work to build a village of saints
So I shout out a van till they
Hear the defense of the faith
I’m filling this page so the
Listener takes it up
To get in His face to say the Risen is great
Read
We gotta take up and read
Or we will never proceed
In growing up into maturity
We oughta take heed
In these last days what we need
We gotta take up and read
And be the People of the Book-of the Book!
Gotta-gotta be the People of the Book!
If you start with the inspired
Text then you’ll find
A message divine that’ll shape you
When it enters your mind
In fact the pleasures of God
Get better with time
Put amazing back into grace with
The letters of John
Newton, I ain’t trying to be all highfalutin
But, you’ll find prudence reading
Lectures to my students
Ephesians 4: 11 gifts from
Our Lord and Master
Preaching and preachers will help reform
(ed) pastor (s)
Baxter, Richard, I demand Scripture
Cats be like what, son? Godly man’s picture
Time is now to think about
These topics that’ll suit ya
The mystery of providence
The Bible and the future
I’m chosen by God just to put
A little Sproul in this
And JC got me riled up about holiness
The cross of Christ paid the
Price this tot was owing
And The Glory of Christ is why I’m flowing

You see it’s me I’m just a mere Christian
In the valley of visions where
I can hear wisdom
From the pages of many men w heavy pens
Filled with charity’s fruit's
And heaven’s sentiments
And Mr miller, it’s the 21st century
Please tell these modern day
Men what repentance is
Or when to mortify sin in the tension of
Suspension in this praying life and
Entrance to the next one
There’s many flutes that you could follow
But I found a Piper
That you don’t have to pay the
Dangerous duty of delight for
Humility will make your burden lighter
When your lonely
Count the cost of all your idols
While your toes are on the precipice of
Knowledge of the holy as you face ya’ rivals
And knowing God’ll have you cheesin’
Like a Packer fan
And easily the sovereignty of God in ink’s
Been turning little boys to men
Who actually rock pink read
Or we will never proceed
In growing up into maturity
We oughta take heed
In these last days what we need
We gotta take up and read
And be the People of the Book-of the Book!
Gotta-gotta be the People of the Book!
