tell parris what? - forgive me lyrics
i’m here, ok
i’m here to stay
preach about the way
folded hands, let’s pray
got lots to say
get out the way
christians die every day
never gonna see decay
praying to the lord, “please save me!
heap coals on the heads of the enemy
justify their deeds by calling us n-z-’s
think them winning but we yell “yahtzee!”
scales on their eyes, so they cannot see
how can n-z-s not see?
they’re keeping us from being free
i’ve got/skinned knees/from praying/for thee
want you to be the best that you can be
i am the least of these
holy spirit got us thirsty
for eternal life, it’s our reality!
i hope you stay
hear what i have to say
these words aren’t for play
this heavenly mandate
to preach christ this day
please don’t be led astray
by this worlds evil ways
jesus christ deserves all praise
forgive me, lord
the silence is deafening
my lips deserve the coals
yet my hand holds the sword
my whole life i have been measuring
my accomplishments to the worlds peddling
now i’m pedaling, trying to get out of that scene
i don’t ever want to be seen
living my life in some other dream
it’s obscene
spent too many years only pleasing myself
so you came and slapped this whelp
thank god men’s hearts can melt
(when will i ever change?)
(when will i ever change?)
it might sound strange
to ask “when will i change?”
he’s already rearranged
my heart on the eternal stage
i’m asking if you’re engaged
or content with being deranged
the devil has you shortchanged
believing this isn’t god’s domain
you ever heard of hyperbole?
jesus used it casually
especially when speaking to the pharisees
a den of vipers
looking shady
white washed tombs? no maybes
dead inside is who they be
and so was i
till i was saved from hades
the word through my soul pervades
christ cut out my sin, no switchblades
i’ll spend eternal life with him in the heavenly palisades!
because i gave my life up to the king of kings!
this is why i sing what i sing!
i must spend every breath
singing praise to him
who saved me from death
he is beyond all length and breadth
no one can fathom his depth
they call him a myth
say he doesn’t exist
i’m afraid i must insist
they’re k!lling babies in the womb
please save them!
they fill the world with doom
please save them
turning forests into dunes
please save them
doing nothing but consume
please save them
‘fore we end up in tombs
please save them
i feel like i’ve been marooned
we’re here, ok
we’re here to stay
let’s preach the way
folded hands, let’s pray
let’s talk, ok?
about the way
get saved this day
never gonna see decay
to live is christ
to die is gain
been trying to explain
my tongue has been restrained
don’t let it be in vain
he went through all that pain
to the point of being slain
but you say that that’s insane?
i can’t stop giving you praise
so we pray, as you taught us to pray
our father, who art in heaven
hallowed be your name
thy kingdom come
thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven
give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our tresp-sses
as we forgive those who tresp-ss against us
lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil
for thine is the kingdom
and the power
and the glory
forever and ever
amen!
again we say amen!
amen!
again we say amen!
amen!
again we say amen!
amen!
again we say amen!
amen!
again we say amen!
amen!
again we say amen!
amen!
