Wake up wake up/Christ said pray for me/or life will slowly surely slip away from thee/wake up wake up/Lazarus, heed to Jesus of Nazareth/listen up listen up bible scholar/this will be very hard to swallow/so try to follow/Jesus Christ/the same yesterday today and tomorrow/so smoove that angels boasted to shepherd boys/not decoys but the real mccoys/so overjoyed that they spoke in tongues/the old ones and the young ones/Did you know that he is the sanctifier?/Lord, lunatic, or liar/He is so cool I wanna be a pastor/the king the head the mac the master/under my God I feel so safe/He is the author and finisher of our faith/so be devoted and strong a Christian has to be/don't get drunk/be filled to capacity.
Who's the final chapter! We are! We are! Who's the holy nation? We are! We are! Who's the royal priesthood? We are! We are! What people belong to God?
Gotta be more cautious though/gotta be more righteous bro/gotta make a decision to be salt/be buyin instead of gettin bought/don't let your little light fade/you gotta play instead of getting played/Are we set free by the lamb's blood?/then why do we trample on it like it's just mud?/we gotta toughin up like grissle/cuz it looks like we are the last epistle/we need to storm heaven's gate before it closes/gotta out shoot guns'n'roses.
Hook
Our spiritual battle is stopless/but still we got all these bars that are topless/we got an answer that's not hopeless/and still people can't live a day dopeless/if we wanna be somethin' sweet/then we're gonna have to be something complete/cuz soon he will come for the one who blesses/and every tongue that confesses/so whether you like him or not/you're gonna have to claim your lot/today we gotta be much bolder/just look what he bore on his shoulder/that was our cross of wood/and he did it cuz no one else could.

His Instruments
I'm done/she's the one/Proverbs 31/man I was hooked and booked and not just from the way she looked/I can't imagine being bored/with a girl who loves me and her LORD/man, that's the ideal for God's kids/place all your bets/place all your bids/on this virtuous woman/I get to get her/there's not many of them/what's your want, what's your desire?/after sex is over is anything higher?/There is so much more to love/such as the God we have above/he sees each step we take/and he sees each date we make/so don't make a decision that will hurt you/when you are living a life of virtue/don't let down your defense/you need to fine tune all your instruments
Yo fellas...
A girl is not just a body but a soul/and she respects a man with self-control/so the question of the hour is raised/Is a man who fears God to be praised?/yes, if he takes heed to God's word/and doesn't go on just what he heard/A man that fears God, nears God/and a woman wants a man that cheers God/She doesn't want someone that will cheat her/and especially not someone that will beat her/she wants you to be her leader/and then you'll see just how much you need her/you're killing her life with your advances/and you're destroying all your marriage chances/charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting/and sex before marriage is cheating/your body is a fresh red rose/but look now it is dying from the fertilizer you chose/you need to keep it in water to keep it bloomin'/then on your wedding night/things will be boomin'!
Solomon said all this was wind/but there is forgiveness for all who sin/you need to focus on Christ and Christ alone/don't give away your body till it gone/that ain't a way to live it's a way to die fast/and Satan will lie to you and lie last/brother seek God and repent/you belong to Him/that ain't your instrument.
Hey ladies....
Listen up you can use this/see what happens if you abuse this/AIDS doesn't show favortism it will wreck ya/you need to search for a man who will respect ya/Yeah he has got something that will thrill you/but he also has something that will kill you/don't sell yourself short for pleasure/it's a mistake eternity can't measure/"Oh, but we are in love it is fine." No, that is two holy temples defiled at the same time/sin is sin no matter/it's not this one is worse, this one is bad and badder/you will destroy your life/before you ever become a man's wife/is this topic to intense?/Well, you are intensely important/you're His instrument.
Watch and pray lest you fall/Satan is after every one of ya'll/protect your body all parts/abstinence will heal your hearts/count on this I know it assuredly/if you live in faith and love and purity/then you will not gratify the evil nature/you will grow to be mature/a vessel Satan can't lure/you will be prepared for the Lord and his work/and you won't have to marry some jerk/society is in an upheaval/so avoid all appearance of evil/John closes his letter with four words/confessing all this hoopla in for the birds/he doesn't go out with fancy titles/he just says Children, keep yourself from idols/follow God and heed your Prince/and make good use of all your Instruments.

Demons Are Dust
A villin' chillin' with a zillion rhymes in a weekend/the first one I wrote is now an antique and/I got the clout to shout the demons out/knockin' demons off/knockin' demons out/Bibles are down no one is writing/sticks are all up and people are fighting/I just grab the mic and my armor/reapin a harvest of life like a farmer/and also a poet/ya know it/if you have a ripped rhyme I'll sow it/up, cause raps my major and God's my master/and once I thought I would be a disaster/but I just kept on pushin' I kept chargin'/pretty soon Satan was pushed to the margin/I came to Christ now Satan is hostile to me/so now I spread the gospel/sue me!
Dust, dust, dust, Them demons are dust, dust, dust, them demons are dust, dust, dust, them demons are dust.
My wisdom comes from being a God fearer/I write rap to make the gospel clearer/for you so Christ might be praised/listen to the words you might be amazed/life for the master that's how I'm livin'/he loved us as the nails were bein' drivin'/commander/corporal/admiral/executive/if you follow him the spirit will let you live/life to the full/filled to the brim/don't draw to the inner man/draw to him/he will meet you at the point of your need/word to daddy indeed/the CIA see I ain't no joke/The FBI thinks I'm just church folk/God's got an army he's not a soloist/come and see said Philip take up your cross and follow us
Hook
Brothers and sisters in Christ/let me stand up and give you some advice/about the Lord and when he came/to reign/and heal the lame/rock the nations/cleanse the sins/knockin' down demons with his mighty winds/hallelujah thine the glory/this is the story/of the man who died for you/and for me/Muhammad? Yeah but did he resurrect? Who you gonna follow and respect/if you know these things then take heed to them/cuz a day may come when you see a need for them/you wanna be grown then don't be alone/call on the one who made you in his own/image, to be godly and strong/to lead you from wrong and into a new song/away from darkness and into the light/fight the power but also fight the fight/that's what life is about/keepin' heaven in and keepin' evil out/don't sit down stand up for Jesus/the man not a myth that frees us/to the land of milk and honey/with no love for power and no love for money/he will lead us like this cuz he is God/pullin' us to safety with his staff and rod/shepherd to the flock of us all/got to stand tall/double bass woofers you know he's Raw.

It's understandable/you know what time it is/rules the globe in his robe/you know whose rhyme it is/Jesus Christ on assignment/you can swerve at us but won't hurt our alignment/like glue to you my rhymes all stay on/deadly with a marker, pen, pencil, or crayon/so take your thirty pieces of silver and leave/go ahead but don't be deceived/it's better if you are hot or cold/if you are lukewarm you just sold out/like a Laodicean/that's who you are like/that's who you are bein/get into Christ he won't flunk you/won't tie a stone around your neck and chunk you/he'll build you up as part of the body/come on come on/it's time to start a party/careful as the wide road narrows/look out for the flaming arrows/of the evil one/he will smoke you son/without a gun
Time's Up

Time's Up
