The Naked Truth

Me I'm a lyricist yet I'm a disciple first

I drink from the fountain of life so

its evident I never thirst

I murdered the old me so what you see

standing before you is the rebirth

truth is even tho salvation is paid for sin still hurts

we were born a livin curse but we heirs to the

kingdom of Heaven because we seek ye first

or should I say...if we would, it seems like

we stay on death row like Shug Knight

but Glory to God for the Holy Spirit that intercedes

and puts us right in front of that marvelous light

the world thinks we're outta our minds but

its clear they're outta sight worshiping their devils night

try with all our might we still so far away from his Glory

like we can't get right if we would just invest in life

and put to death those sinful desires and seek the sire

we claim to be on fire but its evident some of us

still haven't stepped out of that fiery furnace

I question sometimes did we just skip school when

Jesus was teaching because it seems

our credits of being Christ-like we haven't earned them

it's like Paul said the Lord's body we ain't discerning

lets truly be unashamed and rebuke nervousness

forget right or wrong lets seek righteousness

seek wisdom like Solomon did and maybe we could be spiritually enlightened

what's the naked truth? We neglect to accept our limitations

so Judgment from the Most High is what we're eternally facing

the cross itself should have been enough persuasion

so lets lift up the name of the King who's already elevated

Unlike Paul of Tarsus my profound life changing experience came not in one moment ,but came through a open mind of questioning and consideration.
