"i Put On For My City"

"I put on for my city" is the latest hip hop song it tells about what one represents and from where one belongs the first artist raps about his material possessions the second one pontificates on his personal obsessions the third one emphasizes his popularity and the last one brags about his prosperity but "I put on for my city" fails to say one little thing they never mention the city nor the people who gave them everything to put on for one's city is about representing positively by your words and actions what you have done for your community it's not just about you but what you have done for others it's about putting on to pay forward your fellow sisters and brothers a Centurion one day asked Jesus for a little help he said his trusted servant was suffering from a case of bad health he himself had some authority over many soldiers and servants he had the respect of many whom to him were trusted and deserving but he humbled himself before Jesus in a manner most persistent he went to the Messiah and pleaded for His divine assistance he heard his servant's cry and knew he could do no other but to seek out the Lord Christ in order to help out a brother he put on for his city for his servant he did represent he put the needs of others before his own, he did what was decent he sought out the Divine and appealed to the Lord our God for he knew with a true faith he'd be given the desires of his heart he sought out the Divine and with God foremost on his mind he aroused the interest of the Son and the Father blessed him in kind just don't treat the Lord Jesus like a tire that's a spare when you only call on Him in times of your despair and don't treat the Lord God like He's doing you a favor for He knows what's in your heart and is aware of your behavior he put on for his servant and to the Savior he did appeal that Centurion had a true belief that was the real deal and then Jesus the Christ with His authority and with His power told that Centurion to "go" and it was done at that very hour to put on for your city to represent the Lord our God to put on for the kingdom with righteousness in your heart
