[verse 1: zae da blacksmith]
this one’s for my brothers, men of god where you at?
we gon’ rap about the subject for the reason god made us with strong backs
we were made in his image so we can display similar
ways to handle our business except that we’re limited
nevertheless he’s given us work to express diligence
similar to what’s read from paul in the text k!lling it
in 2nd thessalonians 3:7 to 8
’cause work is god’s idea believe it ain’t no mistake
he put adam in the garden of eden to work and keep it
so for men to work is the will of god, it ain’t no secret
so peep it, if it’s his will then we should seek to please him
by trusting in his strength to work for him, whom we believe in
but it’s only by his spirit that we can ever achieve it
that’s a call to righteous living like both letters from peter
now if anything i’m spitting is settling as conviction
i pray that true repentance will bring about his redemption
’cause we need men of god to rep him well in this area
it isn’t hard to tell how far we fell in america
the culture’s telling us 30 is the new 20
a lot of them dudes think that it’s true and it looks silly
but lord help us to grow as godly men and leave a legacy
for those that follow us to earn their bread with integrity
so men of god put your plows to the dirt
and show the power of the gospel off through the way we work for his glory
[verse 2: zae da blacksmith]
(yo, yeah) in genesis 3:17 man was cursed at the fall
and ever since then for men work has been hard
as part of the fall, we eat by the sweat of our brow
and wrestle with th-rns and thistles till we back in the ground
so don’t be astounded if work isn’t peaches and cream
but in christ our joy’s found if indeed we’re redeemed
so men of god, you’re not your jobs, you lost that ident-ty
it was left at the cross when you were bought into his family
so know your role ’cause in the home you’re the provider
the lord gave us his scrolls so we can go to him for guidance (uh)
let’s come to terms that working is a means of grace
for your wife and kids to eat they need food upon their plates
but make no mistake this for my single brothers as well
how you gon’ feed your families if you can’t provide for yourself
we gotta excel in training for godliness this is obvious
it’s not just gonna poof and pop up inside of us
plus this is the time for you to use this opportunity
to give more of your first fruits to god through your community
see your 9 to 5 can truly help you to provide
for your family & others god will bring into your life
so lord help us to grow as godly men and leave a legacy
for those that follow us to earn their bread with integrity
now men of god put your plows to the dirt
and let’s show-off the power of the gospel through the way we work for his glory
[verse 3: zae da blacksmith]
(yeah) 1st peter 2:12 to the end of the chapter
the perfect picture of how and why we work for the master
it ain’t the money though or the things that you can buy with it
yet it’s much more valuable and carries life to your spirit
it’s the gospel of jesus, yeshuah the messiah
the risen king of the jews, above whose name there’s none higher
this is our master the one on whose behalf of we labor
may our working hands reflect the excellence of the savior
i pray through our integrity at work the world would notice him
that we may be a means to let them see jehovah’s holiness
my brothers, this is where the rubber meets the dirt
and why the money in your wallet ain’t the main reason we work
so sign up for the mission if you’re officially in
keep in mind the great commission is to be fishers of men
we need to pray the lord help us display the love of christ
to our neighbors as we labor so that they devote their life
to the savior of souls so let’s work to make him known
show his value through how you distribute what you own
’cause you preach of his worth by how you’re stewarding your funds
and it paves a clear path for what you declare with your tongue
lets pray the lord help us to grow as godly men and leave a legacy
for those that follow us to earn their bread with integrity
so all men of god put your plows to the dirt
and let’s show-off the power of the gospel through the way we work for his glory
