Tim: Iâm glad as I write raps and Iâm hype/ âcause Iâm actually right next to my African wife/ our kids Black and theyâre White, but the last thing at night/ that we recite is weâre ONE: grafted in Christ// cause our Master delights in great variety/ look to creation--the plain eye can see:/ in flowers He made, styles in array/ His power displayed in Jew and Gentile that He saves// itâs not just American but Amish and Arabic/ diverse is His Church but we (all) Honor and cherish Him/ He accomplished this very thing--at the Cross--the death He died/ He bought His multi-ethnic Bride (Rev. 5:9!)// itâs the Covenant of Abraham / where every Nation, Clan/ and race of man will praise the Lamb in His Sacred Land (Gen. 17:1-8u003d Rev. 7:9-12 + Rev. 21:1-4)/ say, âO the depths of His Riches and precious His Wisdom displayedâ in: ...âpage after page, I wrote it this wayâ...
Mike: Yaâll should see the countenance of those that we speak with/ all ready to challenge us, cause they donât agree with/ Something we expounded on, thatâs making their teeth grit/ Armenians, Calvinists, does the Scriptures teach this?// To some we are counterfeit, cause tongues we donât speak with/ Even been surprised by some, who wonât even eat with/ us because we countered their, doctrinal beliefs in/ Israel and the Covenant, God able to keep them?// Some refuse to fellowship, Hanukkah or Christmas/ is worship irrelevant, does it make a difference?/ Weâre so bent on pettiness, eternity creeps in/ souls of men are perishing entering the deep pit// Check out what the Bible says, back when Paul beseeched men/ found in the Fourth Chapter in the passage of Ephesians/ Eleven through Sixteen, bickering, we play on the same team/ listen to the great King// say.......
Steve: Christâs blood has identified us/ doesnât uniform us, but it unifies us/ we can be diverse but, still not be divided/ we would be deformed if, everyone was like us// imagine a body, only made of eyes, what/ would you use for walkinâ, tell me how you write stuff/ who would do the talkinâ, if thereâs only sight, none/ there would be a problem, yeah you say Iâm right but/ still you want us all to, come in with a tie plus/ fit in with your culture, I can see the pride âcause/ you just wanna alter, who we are in Christ but/ weâre beinâ conformed to, His image and likeness// plus He was incarnate, meaninâ He defines what/ it is to be part of, culture and be righteous/ you donât really want it, rather demonize us/ take it to the Author, heâs gonna say... âpage after page, I wrote it this wayâ
Tony: Many different callings, many forms of service/ Everything is all in, His eternal purpose/ Yes the Lord is sovereign, we just see the surface/ It's because we're fallen, selfish and imperfect// Someone's doing awesome; we hate to see them flourish/ Wish we were exalted, we wanna be first just/ Read the words of Paul to the Corinthian Church First/ correspondence, 12:18 is the verse To// want another's office, and covet is godless/ Ainât no superstars in God's Kingdom we're servants/ Some stars seem large and are visible to all men/ Other stars so far that we can't even discern them// Even hidden stars it pleased the Lord to furnish/ For the glory of God who sees they are burning/ So we mustnât squabble to be seen or be heard But/ in unity worship, the Word says...âpage after page, I wrote it this wayâ
