lyrics

1st Verse

Here I stand, every second at the door I’ll be knocking, knocking
Until you respond, everyday all day I’ll be waiting
This may sound like stalking but, in my language it’s called longsuffering
Cause I already know the plans I have for you are worth rejoicing
Where you’ve been in life, don’t you think I know it all
I’m the only answer to your life c’mon take heed to my call
The great I am, the infinite, always have I existed
I was there in the Garden of Eden when sin was impregnated
Which spread to every descendent living in every known continent
Striving in religion working for their own salvation
But therein lies the problem cause salvation is a gift
Can never be earned but must be discerned, through a spiritual shift
That your whole intellect comes correct with all of my precepts.
But most will take a rain check or simply straight out reject
My high authority cause it’s perceived to demoralize

[Chorus]
Keeping it brief and short, you were bought by the blood Christ
The final word is reborn there’s so much more to taste in life
Repent, be born again, justified made whole again
Finding peace- with the Trinity, life eternally has no end

2nd Verse

Keeping it short, take my advice don’t play this off like silly sport
Let it be known that I have come to take hold of sin and abort Guiding you back to me your creator once you are born
Cause being conceived in sin, lo your path’s already wrong
This may seem- harder than hard for anybody else to accept
I know it sounds negative and only downplays all your prospects
Cause you feel you have the attributes to be a moral public figure
You know what is good and evil, you love life you’re not a murderer
You stand for the wrong of society, advocate fair economy
But none can be done decisively, due to a larger adversity
Entrenched in the soul of humanity, known only as harmatology
The catastrophe that separated the father from His family
This really hurts but not enough to dissuade my love for you
Day after day and so forth this is everlastingly true
I’m a keep knocking on your door cause hell’s a real threat

[Chorus]
Keeping it brief and short, you were bought by the blood Christ
The final word is reborn there’s so much more to taste in life
Repent, be born again, justified made whole again
Finding peace- with the Trinity, life eternally has no end

3rd verse

Before I end it here, on this note I will expound
All you lost souls, need to hear this yo come gather round
What’s got a hold of your conscience, a result of sin’s, consequence
Because of your avoidance, you’ll never have the reverence
To look into my brilliance, when you bow in repentance
Before my Lordship, sovereignty and righteous governance
Being under me- means new birth and a holy countenance
Cause great, is the mercy that flows from my providence
Forgiven in my magistrate empowered to share what I have paid
Removing your guilt, just like a crime scene I have come to raid
Cause manmade resolves for the curse of sin can never win
Petrified- cause you know life will one day turn- grim
Without the Way the Truth the Life the end is really the end
But open the door with all your heart and your brokenness will mend
Come explore you’ll soon find that I am not a folklore

[Chorus]
Keeping it brief and short, you were bought by the blood Christ
The final word is reborn there’s so much more to taste in life
Repent, be born again, justified made whole again
Finding peace- with the Trinity, life eternally has no end
