here's another song. It reminds me of Pilgrims Progress.
Timothy Brindle
Christ rescued tim
By His death i'm in
I accept Him in
I once slept in sin
Yes, i'm now His resurrected kin
But the Christian race is starting so let's begin!
What a hectic thing i'm stepping in
A plethora of men and women expect to win
Trying to cross the border like a mexican
But the kingdom doors are closing, let's be pressing in!
It's not a competition to conquer Christians
We help each other get across the finish line
But those who turn back get killed when they halt
They turn into a pillar of salt!
"But I thought Salvation's through faith alone!?"
Yes! But this faith is shown by those who make it home
Cause Christ's words are clear
Those who are saved endure to the end and persevere
The pilgrimage is through the wilderness
And I must kill my own sin and filthiness
You see, there's a grind that's within
I'm the despising my sin
To see the Kings face is the prize at the end!
Cause my portion's my Lord and my Father
I brought nothing with me but my sword and my armor
And I brought a pocket full of mana
and Christ's righteousness i'm rocking as my banner!
He paved the way exact and gave a smack to help me stay away from satans traps
Plus He gave me His spirit to guide me
When i'm weary and tired His spirit revives me
I realized something drastic has happened
That shaped my attractions and fashions my actions
I died with Christ and rose with Him
So now I have dominion over sin!
At first I ran great over landscapes!
Cause I cant wait to see the Lambs face!
Daily refreshed on new supplies of mana
With my sword im killing lies and slander
I see wolves in sheep's clothes
I was told that these foes are as greedy and cold as (??? something that ends with -oes)
I avoided their pack
But some of my boys were attacked and destroyed by the trap!
I soon fell into a swamp of slime
At the sight of my sin I almost lost my mind
And started spittin up at this sickening stuff
It was the sin that easily trips me up!
This slippery cords started bringing me towards
The bottom of the swamp! I was swinging my sword!
To slice em off of me!
Now I feel trife and sloppy see, and the sight's exhausting me!
So I ran to a mountain of love!
And dove head first in it's fountain of blood!
After being renewed and cleansed
I realized it's better to run with a crew of friends
Plus I realize i'm my worst enemy
It's my own sinful nature that enters me!
On top of the Solid Rock, i'm running again!
And not on sinking sands, i'm shutting my sin..
I then passed by the City of Destruction
And I seen how it's wicked and disgustin
Full of wicked worliness and images
of pretty girlies hips and jiggy pearly wrists
When I passed her block I was asked to stop
But I had to say I'd rather not
I was slapped and socked as the laughing stock
I tried to warn them, God's wrath is hot!
But they abused this Christian
They refused to listen
They wouldnt choose the good news of the crucifixion
The city was full of pagans braggin
And the ruler was this huge flamin' dragon!
But this one cat asked for the Messiah
So I grabbed his hand and snatched him through the fire
But then this girl she stopped and gave up
She loved the world more than the God of jacob!
I must reset my pace
for the rest of this hectic race
So I shed some extra weight
And kept my eyes on Christ Fixed on Him
So I wouldn't slip in sin and trip again!
But I took my eyes off Christ then tripped and stumbled
Down this clift of rubble I ripped my bundle
Plus my hand is cut, my pants are stuck
And now i'm falling but I cant get up!
I see the world's economy sponsored
It was this giant pornography monster
It grabbed my legs
I was stabbed with pegs (???)
So I had to pray for a path to escape!
Just then rushed in a crew of brethren!
They rescued me from the the (???) I stepped in
Forget a jar of "Scope" or a bar of soap
I washed in the blood of the lamb of God my hope
I seen my weakness, so now my strength is crushed
So Christ became my crutch and strength and trust
Jesus is my treasure!
But he feels so far away in this dry desert!
I know I must murder my sin
And endure to the end
But now i'm thirstin' for Him!
And I'm so anxious
So the Spirit led me to an oasis
My soul craves this!
I drank from joyful springs
To rest from my toil to sing
To the anointed King (Hallelujah!)
It renewed my hope in this open tomb
But then I seen the Kingdom doors
they're closing soon!!!!
Must be relentless
To rush to the entrance
Along with brothers
Who trust, with repentance
But there's not a lot, who are soldiers
Who run with the cross on top of their shoulders
On my road map, i'm soon reminded...
The gate is narrow, and there's few that find it
And those that do dont really dally in
They're really rowdy men who battle sin!
But at the last stretch, the porn monster
Returned to tempt me to be a whore monger
So with my sword, I hacked it to pieces!
Cause i'm way more attracted to Jesus!
Now I enter the gates and end the disgrace!
Jesus my hope, in His splendor awaits
And though i'm pressing in, detesting sin
It's His blood and righteousness that gets me in!
I'm now ready to see his majesty...
(it's the King of glory!!!!)
I'm screaming happily..!
As I bask in His presence,
He's perfect in pleasure
I'll worship forever with gladness and revenrence!!!!
Wondering what's to come, and after ten thousand years it says if it's just begun!
Wondering what's to come, and after a million years it says it it's just begun!
