stephen the levite - ...to die is gain lyrics
hook: to live is christ and to die is gain/ either way
he’s glorified in his saint’s/ when our lives are
changed, and the ‘i’ is crucified in his name/ and we
identify in his pain (we’re gonna rise to reign)//x2
steve: divine architect perfectin’ a sky scr-per/ never
paralleled by babylonian tower makin’ adonai haters/
this worlds fly but el shaddai’s greater/ so i smile
now, knowin’ there’s no time in heaven to cry later//
while the world’s towers are crumblin’/ the same rock
keepin’ me firm got the disobedient stumblin’/ the
stone rejected by the builders/ now seen as the head of
the corner conquerin’ gangs and drug dealers// now his
crew rolls thick/ international recruiters with
p-ssports and pack of few who flow sick/ spittin’ truth
to cats who throw brick/ ready for martyrdom,
separatin’ lamps from little glow sticks// this joint
here is for the believers over seas/ smugglin’ bibles
and preachin’ jesus where ever god pleases/ regardless
of the received opposition, you remain harmless/
soldiers for christ endurin’ hardness// from the
underground christian emcees/ to cats leadin’
underground bible studies in foreign countries/ from
cats p-ssin’ tracts and plantin’ seeds to pastors
plantin’ churches, with a p-ssion for legacy// from the
boy prayin’ for his families salvation/ to the man
beggin’ wit’ tears for god to save his nation/ your
treasures in heaven are waitin’/ your work is not in
vain, and benefits come with this occupation//
’cause…
hook
steve: yo, the mission is still “build up!” redeemed
thought, blood bought/ members of the body of christ
the holy spirit sealed up/ teachin’ to edify the
brethren/ and preachin’ to add livin’ stones to the
master builders collection// thrilled to be his co-
workers/ we orchestrate rhymes servin’ his illuminatin’
purpose, we call it w.o.r.s.h.i.p./ service goes beyond
the churches, enter the trenches/ too many christians
are ridin’ the benches// pew punks, on some whack
christmas and easter junk/ swearin’ they know god, but
that’s bunk/ they know they be gettin’ it crunk,
leavin’ the club half drunk/ their garments drenched in
the stench of skunk// sinners with suits on sundays
mockin’/ the cats rockin’ the timbs and fitted caps
diggin’ the doctrine/ not knowin’ that cat was earnin’
a masters/ in seminary ready to plant a church and
pastor/ this tracks for the objects of man’s laughter/
the jesus freaks, hittin’ the streets, who look past
the/ persecution in the pursuit of god, chasin’ after/
his prosperity, not presently, but after/ tribulation
so endure with patience/ jesus christ has conquered the
world and he keeps a leash on satan/ your treasures in
heaven are waitin’/ your work is not in vain and
benefits come with this occupation// ’cause…
