Baby Don't Sleep

1st Verse
Many ask who this Jesus really is Away from the stereotype media hiss, check this He’s the Word made flesh, supreme holiness Came to earth’s surface to help us to progress Away from sin born again in HIM Gratitude galore I’ve got it deep down within The perfect example of the sacrificial model He’s the only, that God saw was acceptable To change the course of humanity’s destiny
Through Prophecy, this was ordained in Calvary
Nailed to a stick to bring healing for the sick
Our solution to sin centuries not fixed
Transformations of lives and testimonies amplified
That all may know in Christ, we are rectified
From temporal things and all those immoral flings
Because it’s him, that we’ve really learned to cling
(Chorus x2)
Stop fakin’ around, get down get deep
God’s will is that you keep searchin’ baby don’t sleep
Keep checkin’ yoself self-reflect one two
Shut the noise around stop fakin’ be true
2nd Verse
As the beat goes on I gotz to keep it real strong
Through Christ in me, I could, even calm a storm
Divine revelations, has given me directions
Of where to find those in need of restoration
On goes the search, compelled by the word
To reach out to souls that've been lying in the dirt
But Christians flirt with the world which is alien
They wonder why they fall, and why they aren’t resilient
Having a boxed vision of God’s, perfect pure will
Has got to be worse than taking the wrong pill
One moment you’re alive and well, swell
Next, you’d be sinning and grieving your way to hell
Theology is not meant to add the letter P to your ride
In actual fact, it’s to free you to abide
Yes yes ya’ll, free to enjoy HIS ride
(Chorus x2)
3rd Verse
So are you searching, and are you seeking
As the days draw closer, to Christ’s 2nd coming
I’m humming, with musical joy in my soul
Cause I’m heading to a place where life’s an endless flow
But what about the work at hand today and now
Do we allow God to show us new things and how
To move in the spirit, press on with no limit
Cause Jesus loves those of whom we’d rather say forget it
Has the light that shines, now been concealed?
Are there wax in our eyes, that need to be peeled?
Our actions turn numb afraid to take the big jump
While those deny God, save the big slums
Revival has to come, draw nearer to the son
But easy we succumb to comfort and affliction
I leave you with this, and this I mention
Yo continue to be, God’s incarnation
(Chorus x2)

Ever Wondered

Verse 1
If you’re ready for this, get with me bounce to this
Here comes the catalyst, glory-glory manifest
I’ll keep it plain and simple, open hearts essential
For rhyme, deliveries that light up cerebrals
I proclaim his fame and glorify his name
Some say I’m insane but my shame HE overcame
Although I’m made of clay but I’ve got pride to display
Hold tight, keep watch and stand firm but don’t stray
From love, that wanna guide you, embrace you
My life was full of wrongs now I’ve only got a few
Come roll with the heavenly legions, that cover me in all regions no matter what the season
Yo check the reason, for this funky reposition
Born again purified by the power of redemption
Can you dig it? This is living truth from the infinite
Marvelous grace made for men who don’t deserve it
(Chorus)
Have you ever wondered how to sort your mess
You’re full of stress, you've got nothing left
Have you ever wondered how to sort your mess Yo, I know the best and HE’ll do the rest
Verse 2
Time to think don’t blink you might miss the next flow
Like sand between your toes sin keeps you below
The choice is yours though of where you want to remain
In darkness and gloom or the light that retains
Clarity of scriptural veracity you’d follow him passionately
Honestly the Christ can set you free
The one who paid the sum it was done when HE was hung
The power of the cross, can make you God’s son
The calling has begun guess who’s knocking on your door
He knows that you’ve been failing to uphold the law
But just let HIM in and HE’ll provide a great feast
All free living water bread of life to say the least
The beast, is defeated his reign is over
No longer, binds- I’m in, awe and wonder
The world, has become a new playground for me
By God’s mercy now I forever tread wisely
(Chorus)
Verse 3
Slam! Shut the back door real tight
Turn face the light and come and get some insights
Ride, with the spirit, catch it live it
Breathed by a merciful God, who created it
You think life’s too complicated now to turn back
But that’s the crap the devil wants you to stack
Against the atonement that Christ has achieved
I struggled to believe, but I ran to retrieve
Forgetting the past as I seek for fresh grass
Food for the soul good news for the mass
Emptiness when we were found picked up from the ground
Now picture this in Christ all of us are heaven bound
Moving on yo to that break of dawn
Where there will be, no more strife no scorn
Moving on yo to that break of dawn
Where there will be, no more strife no scorn….. Believe it!
(Chorus)

Gods at War

Intro: Ragga
Me a go run non-stop to the roof top
Tell dem inna de world Christ rule from the top
Me a go run non-stop all around the de block
That Jesus Christ is ya de king in all the blocks
He ya de King, the world and satan never win
He ya de King, the world and satan never win
1st Verse
Born to a world, of materialism schisms
The spiritual chasm widens in our persuasion
Of worldly ambitions like fatal obsessions
Attractions so strong it’s a hopeless condition
Hence the kingdom came down, but to Him we frowned
Cause His governance make us look silly as clowns
No sex before marriage, you’re kidding with this message?
Guess what my peers would say, sacrilege!
Humility’s of the past it has no class
We need status and pomp or be considered outcasts
Dirty jokes a sin? But it has always been in!
If that’s the case I don’t want God living within
Cause I’m happy as dandy, got more bounce than Bambi
Life is full of colour like my LED TV
A life to my own world hunger’s not my problem
But maybe-maybe tell me bout the crucifixion
Why wouldn’t God just let alone humanity?
Actually I know the story, but I rather just eh choose me
Chorus
Gods are at war –Raah!
Everyday all day uuumm it is raw- Raah!
Little Gods wanna knock you to the floor
But Christ His power’s much more- Raah!
Fight the good fight keep your eyes on the Christ
Watch out for Gods that’ll take Him off your sight
2nd Verse
See the Christ came to break strongholds of the mind
Belief systems of our culture and our times
Noises and voices fill the young with choices
That lead them astray leaving parents no say
In real vital matters such as sex education
Should kids in school be learning about orgasms?
When they’re supposed to figure out the algebra
Instead boys get obsessed with Angie’s bra
In the heat of the moment, through unlawful union
What’s a blessing turns dreaded abortion
Now what can we expect, from our teen parents
No parental wisdom full of immature emotions
They sway and ignore help from their mums and dads
Then fall deep in the system that made them sex mad
Never an easy answer, to complex situations
But killing your descendants is really no solution
Young people take heed or forever you’ll bleed
Bible scripture’s what you need in you plant the seed
(Chorus)
3rd Verse
God’s people, my people, stay in file and battle
Don’t give into the vile when you’re smack in the middle
Remember Paul says we may be pressed but not crushed
Perplexed but not despaired, never going bust
Attacked struck down but never ever forsaken
Keep watch of the hour, the day’s not too distant
Stand for what you believe, with gusto grit your teeth
So what they give beef from the Bible take a leaf
And remind yoself who you’re here to represent
The advent of the covenant one hundred percent
God man spirit triune like a mystical tune
Echoed through centuries Christ’s the living lagoon
Who meets all your needs follow Him as He leads
You through the landscapes of life that can be steep
Go deeper right down under like Aotearoa
Remain in Christ cause the world’s a disclaimer
But you’re a winner, cause the truth is always near
And when He comes, He’ll remember His children so dear
(Chorus)
Outro: Ragga
Little Gods don’t let them run your life
They’ll fill it up with tings and all dem strife
Make you lost on your way to paradise
The devil he ya clever with dem disguise
Open your eyes, you will see Christ even you’re blind

(Verse 1)
Crazy love’s the love that we bring
Deep down within ya- free from sin
All me day now follow da true king
Him and I unite the truth we sing
Crazy love dat come from above
Showed me de evil of selfish love
Always keep wanting more and more

Emotional pain bad relationship bring

Some ting inna fe life has to go so to live
(Chorus)
Crazy-crazy-crazy love wai yow-yow-yow
Crazy-crazy-crazy love wai yow-yow-yow-yow
Crazy- crazy-crazy love wai yow-yow-yow
Crazy-crazy-crazy love wai yow-yow-yow-yow
(Verse 2)
My whole life Lord come take over
Forever be my Lord and Saviour
Hope and joy ring out me throat
With Jesus Christ na go sink in his boat
Redemption songs how sweet da sound
Because one day me a fi wear da crown
Remember da day me trapped underground
But like a fighter me come pound for pound
So why babylon keep playing da fool
Tinkin he right he need to re-school
Truth of the Lord read again inna d Bible
Stand firm on the ground that is stable
Run run, come follow Him now
Come come, me a go, show you how
Run run, come follow Him now
Come come, me a go, show you how
(Chorus)
(Verse 3)
Don’t be late becoz time will expire
Have you tot how to run from de fyah
But many dem want to run their own race
Dem don’t wanna know about de God of grace
What a waste, deny God wonderful
Deny God beautiful choose da devil
Devil only wait to pounce and destroy
Marriages he love to play like toy
Tell you lies bout what satisfies
But when you done you’ll be high and dry
So let our hearts burn no stones unturned
De only solution is faith to return
Learn from your scratches and dem burns
Grace is strong God’s love confirmed
(Chorus)

It's Real
04:18
|

Verse1
Kicking it off here comes an accidental immigrant
Son of a businessman, born in rebellion
Ethnic Identity from a mighty continent
Caught in the mix of corrupt cash increments
Then the day came, for me to change my game
Had enough of the flame stressing my brain
So I hitched a ride to somewhere, ended up in mid air
Sick of all the scheming, it’s time for me to play fair
Dirty were my tactics, those were my credentials
I was too weak to prohibit, the evil in my ego
Like a dark power working, all within me
It was choking my ability to make decisions clearly
I couldn’t see in front of me, God save me this misery
Gimme some of that miracle from Gethsemane
There’s a war within me, raging like Galipoli
God come to me before I see the end of me
God come to me before I see the end of me
Cause the enemy, doesn’t want me to find the remedy
(Chorus)
Yo it’s real- more real than what you can feel
There’s a fight between the powers of darkness and light
Yo it’s real – more real than what you can feel
One wants to take your life the other wants to give you life
Verse 2
Moving on like the weather got a monster to conquer
Years of being trapped, to drugs like marijuana
Which gave me a false sense of security
Cause life gets tough when you have folks you don’t see
Now my best foot’s forward but the mind remains backward
Afraid- of change like new rain in the desert
So God brings in a blizzard, which came and uprooted
All that I knew of a life, distorted
Sorted, I thought God had come to my place
But where’s he at? I embark for his face
Buddha says seek the way but where do I go?
And Mohammed warns don’t forget to pray for his soul
Others teach close your eyes till there’s no desire
But it’s through desire that we long for our creator
I think I’m getting closer to the warmth of the treasure
You wanna know more? Turn with me the next chapter
(Chorus)
Verse 3
Amazing grace that astounds, how sweet the sound
Sin locked me down but God came with the breakdown
World renown Christ the King gave my life a new spin
Death lost its sting, now I run with wings
Soaring in the air of holy wisdom, freedom!
Sweet connection with the architect of creation
Can only give me hope, and new strength to cope
Though the smoke tries to choke, I still got my scope Confronting my fears head on with the enemy
Coz I got smart company that slams all fallacy
Renewed in the mind bright lights sunshine
Hatred and violence God’s put them on a flatline
Dead to the world though I’m alive in the world
That just means I don’t live for the, material
I got my prize in heaven I’ll be seeing God in person
And you? Have you broken out of your prison?
I got my prize in heaven I’ll be seeing God in person
And you? Have you broken out of your prison?
(Chorus)

New Day

Harmony Intro:
New Day (are you seeking for the….)
New Day (all are hoping for a…)
New Day
New Day
Verse1
From the get go God created heavens and the earth
The sequence of creation revealed in Genesis
From darkness to light God created with delight
He said let there be light and there was day and there was night
Next we’re told about the separation of the waters
Because of that the nature of the sea and sky differs
Then land came about and vegetation filled the sphere
God’s in control this was perfectly clear
His glory filled the atmosphere His word creative power
Wisdom infinite there’s so much more to discover
Like the stars, the planets and the seasons never static
They come and go in God’s law of electromagnetic
Life breaks forth from the oceans and the sky
From the depths to the heights all creatures break a sigh
Of reverence and awe, to Him who gives existence
Cause life is sustained by His sheer exuberance
(Chorus)
It was a new day when the earth was born
Joy filled the place through lives that were formed
A new day, when spirit made material
God with us we welcome Emmanuelle
[Singing]
Won’t be long, a new day is coming
Won’t be long, new day-new day
[Chant]
God is no man, that he should go lie
God is no man to let his promises slide
Verse 2
Step into day six and God’s still getting His kicks
From pleasure of his creative habitual fix
More creatures join the symphony of variables
God’s creative prowess simply unfathomable
Majestically imperial yet shockingly humble
That He would have His image imprinted on a couple
The first man Adam and Eve mother of the living
Had the best seats in the universe to witness God’s being
Then the climate lost its cool, when they broke a rule
They disobeyed God became shameful and cruel
Pain, guilt and shame, deception’s now the game
Expelled from God’s presence so the devil entertains
With lust and pride self-seeking on every side
The disconnect from God this divide is getting wide
No rest on the 7th day the wicked have no holyday
We cry for redemption we plead for that new day
(Chorus)
We need a new day cause we’ve all gone astray
Today we implore God returns to stay
A new day, when flesh reborns in the spirit
God with us, come Jesus of Nazareth
[Singing]
Won’t be long, a new day is coming
Won’t be long, new day-new day
[Chant]
God is no man, that he should go lie
God is no man to let his promises slide
Verse 3
Now what we do in the meantime cause its high times?
Let us search in the scriptures not in the grapevine
Sick of sin or of the material drab?
So break your soul off its gag and get a new tag
New soul, new body, new place to be
The book of revelation points to a brand new city
With no stench of death, all eternal breath
Cause the old order is forever lost in the depths
These words are true and no doubt trustworthy
God’s got His name on it, it’s not my philosophy
They who overcome, will inherit all of these
So watch and pray life’s full of possibilities
But not all things are proper, and not all edify
Don’t let the secular stop you from getting to the sky
There we’ll be caught up, with our loving father
Forever in His glory no more will we lack luster
(Chorus)
It’ll be a new day, new earth new heaven
God’s habitation prepared for our enjoyment
New day, where creature meets his creator
God with us, Jesus Christ our saviour
[Singing]
Won’t be long, a new day is coming
Won’t be long, new day-new day
Chant (outro)
God is no man, that he should go lie
God is no man to let his promises slide

1st verse
No I won’t digress ah sort’a like possess
No less of spiritual zest yes for biblical quest
Trying to stay in line with my daily walk
Sometimes I hold firm but sometimes I just baulk
At this picture on the cross the redeemer
Came to save me a sinner, ah go figure!
It wasn’t good works or religiosity
That made me righteous before a God who’s holy
But faith alone yeah in the son on the throne
The word and the spirit, they’re leading me home
So I cast all my burdens on the Lord Jesus
His promises are true, forget hocus-pocus
But the flesh is frail, and often I fail
Cause at times I forget that Christ can get me bail
From the heat to the mount, of epic victory
The overcomer is the name I call my armoury
Which increases in power, when I get down on my knees
May you complete me, that’s my prayer father please
(Chorus) x2
Whom have I on earth and in heaven but you
The Lord of Glory verse nine Luke chapter two
My strength may fail in the weeks that ensue
But the Lord of Glory’s promised to take me through
2nd Verse
Monday refreshed by the sermon on Sunday
Expository preaching wouldn’t have it other way
On a mission world evangelization
Cause the nations need to know of the propitiation
But come Tuesday the light dims in the secular
The challenges rage, they’re gunning for the jugular
Doubts overwhelm the assurance of redemption
Happens when I feed flesh and test the commandments
Causing me to ponder about the new me!
Bro could this just be motivational therapy
Wednesday time to regroup I hit the word
Put the sign on my door, don’t disturb
As I re-examine, the source of my faith
Lord help me to live you and daily show your face
Then came the word the verb, greater is He in ya
I’ll lead you out like the apostles from Judea
Seven days ah-huh seven days of the week
Seven days yo glad in the flesh I am weak
(Chorus)
3rd verse
Thursday keep travelin’, afloat paddlelin’
At the face of adversity haha- chuckling
Cause I dream big, my vision’s fully rigged
Joel 2:27 has more bite than any gig
Shove the devil down the stairwell, farewell
Cut the detail that’s my Friday in a nutshell
Knowing well, a hidden war is raging on
Seven days of the week wear Christ put Him on
Like spraying cologne but with power to roam
I refuse to be a Roman, when in Rome
Cause I live in God’s zone, not bound to any mammon
Saturday I count the devil’s defeats and delusions
To the mind, the soul, protect your sanctity
If Jesus is your Lord, give Him your loyalty
So when Sunday returns let’s all rejuvenate
Fellowship with your mates in church celebrate!
Seven days ah-huh seven days of the week
Seven days yo glad in the flesh I am weak
(Chorus)
