Who says you cant mix aggression with a message of faith.. Music is an expression, with that theres no debate.. Why not sing of my faith, for it's what I live..
Bring me into your awesome presence. Forgive my shameful iniquity.. You alone are my firm foundation. You alone can deliver me.. I stand before you alone and naked. My life reads like a book to thee..
The sanctity of life is only sacred when it fits into the description, the description that I give it.. I play a little game, a game it's called GOD..
My soul cries out to do God's will, but my flesh it longs to sin.. A battle that's raging deep within but to sin I won't give in.. Sin can't have it's grip on me cause Jesus death has set me free..
Get what you can get while the gettings gotten good.. Command your god machine today, greeds are understood.. Believe you shall, believe I must, in faith I put my trust..
Discard your priestly robes, put on sackcloth.. Repent of evil ways, don't ever stop.. Come before the throne of grace, bow to Deity,. for you're set apart for worship of His Majesty..
