carissa, savannah, ellen - religion rap lyrics
listen
if you had
one pen
one catholic community
to pray for anything you ever wanted
one bible
would you write it down
or just let it drip?
amen
matthew wrote his gospel in 85 bc
it was written in syria entirely in greek
it evidently depended on the gospel of mark
he used various sources to have his gospel embark
in different ways, different perspectives
adjusted views and objectives
correcting, showing connectives
collecting what is effective
communicating directly
‘bout jesus’ life endeavours
the miracles he performed
and the effort of all his measures
as a role model for us
from his errors and all his lessons
and all that jesus sacrificed
losing life to give us heaven
religions still practised today
we talk to god in different ways
we go to church so we can pray
or celebrate a special day
or we can pray at home
with our family or on our own
to rejoice the kingdom of god
where we’ll forever be known
jesus got some miracles
like the woman who was healed
and the disciples who thought they drown
but he made sure the storm was stilled
the gospels are considered a “living tradition”
which is believed to be the faithful and constant transmission
of the stories from the apostles
through generations of time
passing down the parables
of jesus
we store in our minds
the four gospels can allow us
to+have+a personal encounter
with jesus and god around us
the human creation founder
we+can relate to life on earth
that’s where we are right now
everything jesus did on earth
we follow to make god proud
we can connect to jesus
he had thoughts and feelings too
everything jesus experienced
he helps us travel through
if we believe be to what god perceived then we’ll achieve and we’ll receive the life god has for when we leave
dear god
i’m still praying to ya
i got the bible in a song
still matthew, mark, luke and john (amen!)
guess who’s back
still
still reading the gospels
still living by the bible
sit back let god lead the way
mark’s gospel wasn’t very long
and the earliest written
he’s symbolised by a lion
careful you don’t get bitten
just kidden
born in cyrene, libya
and then travelled abroad
on multiple religious missions
with saint barnabas and saint paul
he was an evangelist and author and protected prisoners
he was a patron saint of painters, lawyers and interpreters
he made the church of alexandria and saw an angel in his dream
significant to the bible coz he was part of the team
he assisted secretaries and then suddenly he died
in alexandria’ egypt 68 ad april 25
he presented jesus as the suffering servant
jesus died for our sins but he knew that it’d be worth it
now the kingdom of heaven gives us a life of eternity
if we remember that, it gives us hope that we’ll have eternally
we can find god everyday in many parts of our planet
from the souls inside our friends to the places we inhabit
when we see acts of compassion or people helping each other
we are reminded of god in everything we discover
not everyone believed that he was the messiah
plus he kept it a secret because that was his desire
he didn’t want people to know so they don’t misunderstand
the true meaning of what it is to be half god and half man
next came luke
this one had a different style
it came after number two
this was for the gentiles
he wasn’t a disciple
neither was he an apostle
he lived in 1 ad
there’s no remains of a fossil
he was the patron saint of artists and doctors and surgeons
originally he wasn’t christian
but then he was converted
he was a greek physician and disciple of paul
he traces all the way back to adam, parent of us all
he presented jesus as half+human, half+divine
a human in god’s image as a natural design
jesus was attacked coz he was preaching about god
by the scribes and the pharisees
who both wanted him gone
we worship jesus christ
in our catholic gospel paradise
we have god by our side
and heaven is our paradise
we worship jesus christ
in our catholic gospel paradise
we have god by our side
and heaven is our paradise
then came john with the last gospel of them all
presenting jesus as the human who was sent to earth by god
he displayed jesus’ traits, how he can overcome evil
now john is presented with the symbol of an eagle
jesus demonstrated justice and integrity
we can love each other just like he loved us identically
valuing each other more than what we value jewels
treat each other how we want to be, follow the golden rule
if we keep jesus on our minds and live with him by our side
we can find the kingdom of heaven if we use him as a guide
if we do everything with kindness and be like how god described
we can fulfil our destiny of how we’re meant to live our lives
