christcentric - cliches lyrics
[hook]
these days in the church the things we say
you see are nothing but clichés we play
like a dj with a mixer
because it lacks sincerity whenever we quote scripture!
[verse 1]
i can do all things through christ
that strengthens me, what about the walk in your life
see your talking is right, but when we place it under the light
it don’t cut it like a fork and a knife
that’s when paul was in strife or blessings was sent
in any situation he would be content
it ain’t about achieving your goals
we’ve been told it’s about trusting god ‘cause he’s in control
when asked how you’re doing you reply “i’m blessed”
are you invincible with a principle that’s timeless
i’m in hot pursuit it’s not the truth and i’m vexed
we need to watch what we say like a timex
read the book like nynex, then call
on the lord for repentance of your lies and all
it’s the rise and fall of facades for god
there’s a whole lot of members on that squad it’s odd
what’s the deal? let’s see what’s right for real
often your coughing and saying “by his stripes you’re healed”
we love it ‘cause it’s appealing
is that the kind of god that we’re called to praise
double minded and unstable in all his ways
the lord is flawed? i think not
sometimes it’s hard to get the misunderstandings out like an inkspot
he healed us from the separation that sin caused
to give the gift of life like santa claus
not by works really its silly
getting awarded for something we ain’t do like milli vanilli
and some of y’all might make a stink about that
instead of taking time to really think about that
i’m not trying to get you upset
you can bet this is in love like romeo to juliet

[verse 2]
i hate when the church is making it worse
teaching sin as being a generational curse
this upsets me, check the scriptures let’s see
if it affects your next generation like pepsi
they won’t fall for this trap if they’ve seen
we’re clean in ezekiel chapter 18
sin the souls don’t keep from the older peeps
there’s no mystique, but what a man sows he reaps
it’s a shame some saints with sin sick frames
claim that it’s demons that inflict pain
the devil’s scheming bothers me, follow me?
but that don’t mean all trouble’s demonology
stop falsifying, they lost to zion
and failed when they were nailed to the cross’ awesome triumph
their power to devour stopped when he’s hung
no need for screaming at demons at the top of our lungs
we persist with energy when we shout
we miss if we resist the enemy he shall flee
submit to the lord, come equipped with the sword
and know victory—it’s assured
understanding the facts you won’t panic and act
like you can’t relax these ain’t satanic attacks
your body is the temple of god—no mistaking
don’t fear it the holy spirit must be overtaken
first bind the strong man, devour up your labor
but can a creature overpower the creator
does this sour up your data
against all that’s in the world, in you the power of him’s greater!

[verse 3]
i kind of find it amusing
we teach demons confined by binding and loosing
he’s bound but he be back
that sneaky cat must’ve pulled a houdini act
trying to confuse the brethren, ask yourself this question
are there demons running loose in heaven
‘cause what’s bound there is loosed here
doesn’t sound like it’s too clear
if it’s bound here and loosed there
it’s worth listening to the context of the text
authority and church discipline
it’s puzzling to me, that jesus will be
in the midst of 2 or 3 that touch and agree
does it make sense? odd ‘cause it doesn’t
if the scriptures teach and preach that god’s omnipresent
really it’s dealing with 2 or 3 witnesses to witness it
and he’ll be right there in the midst of it
settle differences when the result of truth is doubtful
it’s safe in the multitude of counsels
speak things that be not as though they were
like we can make those occur, you know we err
‘cause this quote refers to divine attributes
yeah it’s scripture but we only spitting half the truth
the problem is scripture’s positive
only god can give life that’s not man’s operative prerogative
[hook]
these days in the church the things we say
you see are nothing but clichés we play
like a dj with a mixer
because it lacks sincerity whenever we quote scripture!
