(Willie Will)
Peep it son, no need to run from the truth
We need to come to understand Ephesians 1
We see in love the Father predestined
We seem to have a problem with the doctrine of election
We keep stressinâ and leave guessinâ leadinâ to depression
Because itâs Godâs love we question
Well sit back and take a deep breath in
And exhale, letâs set sail, the word of God is refreshinâ
Letâs be real with it, the Bible obviously talks
about predestination so we gotta deal with it
Iâll be a fake attorney by His grace and mercy
And present my case so letâs take a journey for the sake of learning
First turn to Romans 8:28-30
Zoominâ in on verse 29, read the first line
âThose whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to
the image of His Sonâ- Exhibit #1
People try to use an argument lacking common sense
Concerning the foreknowledge of God thinking the logic fits
Dudes are saying He looked out into the future ages
With illumination seeing all that would choose salvation
And those men were chosen by God because they chose Him
But thatâs not what the passage has spoken
It says those He foreknew He predestined
If he foreknew everybody, is everybody predestined?
Is everyone His object of affection?
If so, then whatâs the point of the doctrine of election?
Itâs spiritual but let me make it plain so u see the miracle
And praise His Name instead of taking His grace in vain
It isnât complicated, we all evaded the God that made us
And traded in His truth for a lie
Worshiping what God created more than God who is glorified
Corroborated our death, our lives are an abomination
But if the Fatherâs aim is to bestow mercy
Then itâs not to say that He was obligated but that God is gracious
As Godâs enemies we deserve to be crushed
Weâre dirty enough to be eternally cursed and turned into dust
And if he did it He would be perfectly just to murder me but
He decided to show mercy to us
I didnât choose God, God chose me
Gave me a new heart and it wasnât because I was holy
But if I chose G-O-D then God owes me, the only reason
I first walked thru them church doors is
Psalm 65 verse 4, why do I know God?
Matthew 11:27 says it best and
Those that have been predestined keep pressinâ
Itâs a deep message, I only see blessinâ in election
âma see the blessinâ, yo itâs not even a question
How God in His perfection wrote the doctrine of election
(shai linne)
God in His perfection wrote the doctrine of election
Cause Heâs sovereign, thereâs no question and that got some people stressinâ
But no option but election can account for our protection
Godly direction or perfected bodily resurrection, yo!
Donât let the thinking of modern men fool ya
God does what He wants- thatâs what it means to be Sovereign Ruler
Itâs deep but not complicated- with complete confidence Iâll state it:
Peep it- itâs how God has always operated
Heâs the greatest, fam- His amazing plan made His hand
Save the man Abraham from a pagan land
Who can argue with the people that God chooses?
Israel and not Egypt, Peter and not Judas
Humanly speaking, it should have been Saul and not David
The inheritance should have been Esauâs and not Jacobâs
The truth it speaks brightly so you can see rightly
A huge, mighty God who chooses the least likely
Still some contest it as a phony doctrine
But if weâre really dead in sin, predestination is the only option
With reservations they fume inside
Thereâs hesitation because itâs devastating to human pride
This truth is the sober kind that youâre prone to find
In passages like Romans 9- itâs so divine itâll blow your mind
We are the clay and weâve been formed by the Potter
None can come to the Son unless theyâre drawn by the Father
âBut God draws everybodyâ Thatâs what some cats say
It canât be that way because all who are drawn are raised on the last day
Because of original sin and all of our despicable deadness within
Election must be unconditional then
Some people say that we were drowning in the ocean
Barely floating until God threw us the rope then
Our free will helped us as we groped
Our faith is the hand that grabbed the rope and God put us back in the boat
Nope! Without apology I deny that analogy
Reality- we were dead at the bottom of the sea
I was a swollen corpse with hope no more
Until Jehovah the LORD dove from the shore to the ocean floor
Yeah, I was a corpse and I smelled like it
Iâll keep it simple, why did God choose me? Because He felt like it!
He brought me out, not an act of my volition
Breathed life into my lungs and didnât ask for my permission
Throughout the Bible thereâs major examples of this
Pages of passages like the raising of Lazarus
Rather than debating the Masterâs gift
We should be happily praising His magnanimous saving of savages
Itâs time we see Godâs sovereignty and His primacy
His holy dynasty running things by divine decree
Why does He choose some and not others to see Jesus?
Our God is in the heavens- He does whatever He pleases!
