4 Minute Sermons - Hope
Yeah I can feel the hope inside of me always rising up in my chest
But you cant have hope without coming from a pain
That you were once trying to ingest
Peace comes with pain
Pain comes with a passion
And Passion with a pursuit
Reverse all of that back live inside of that's exactly what we have to do
There are many questions I have yet to ask
Many answers I have left to find
But I will not be ashamed of who I am
Every single one of us all are one of a kind
I know that as I close this chapter everything will be alright
I decided that the deciding factor will not be the dark but be the light
So many things I have left to say
So many issues I have yet to solve
I wont always rap but I'll always be thinking all the things I ever wrote in all my songs
I know that some of my sermons are far from perfect
I'm the type that's learns as I'm working
But honestly have you ever heard a falling man get up in the pulpit and preach a perfect sermon?
You watched me work through struggle to find a cure and then believe in The Hope
I just pray God I was used in a godly light
Do not look to me but look to Christ
It weird to make an album about something that I have never acquired
But if I'm not mistaken were all striving to strive after what u consider a godly desire
To be honest I have more pain writing this
Than I ever did when I say down and wrote lonely
Cause at least when I bled my heart into the mic in the end I didn't feel like a phony
I spoke from the heart and I'm speaking from the heart now
But I was talking from a place of the present tense
And right now speaking from a place I have never been from the start
It seems sometimes like ever since
People sharing their struggles with me in private
I've been trying to them to let God guide them
And to do that it seems I have to become a hypocrite
God show me the hope and how to live in it
All I know is alotta people don't know there forgiven
Were all trinna find out what is and isn't
All I pray is one day God you reveal to me in prayer who you are and what is or isn't
Yeah I can feel the hope inside of me always rising up in my chest
But you cant have hope without coming from a pain
That you were once trying to ingest
Life comes with pain
Pain comes with a passion
And Passion with a pursuit
Reverse all of that back live inside of that's exactly what we have to do
There are many questions I have yet to ask
Many answers I have left to find
But I will not be ashamed of who I am
Every single one of us all are one of a kind
I know that as I close this chapter everything will be alright
I decided that the deciding factor will not be the dark but be the light
I thank God for everything he has done
He has given me a hope that I now have
Although I don't have all the answers
All I know that one day I'll be given that
In heaven not only is there no cancer
But there's no need for questions to be asked
Until then I'll try and live a godly standard
And let God's word reveal the facts
Yes I'm nomadic and I'm an astronaut
On an exploration as I ask God
God who are you and who am I
Please let me learn from you until I die
I am just a travel in the midst of your glory
Forever learning as I'm exploring
You brought me in when you could deport me
Gave me the gospel so I could share your story
Everything I see and everything I am
Is seen through the lens of your plan
All I know is one day I'll understand
The more I seek your face the more I see your plan
Who I am isn't based on me but it's in Christ
I can only face what facing cause you gave me life
Thanks be to God there's a hope today
I'm praying that my thoughts always think that way
All I'm saying is that God please give me grace
To never ever stop running my race
Guide me into your arms and burn away my hate
The past can leave scars that bring alotta pain
When I was dying into the darkness
You died for me so I could join you in the light
So why would I do anything different other than serve the God who saved my life?
Yeah I can feel the hope inside of me always rising up in my chest
But you cant have hope without coming from a pain
That you were once trying to ingest
Life comes with pain
Pain comes with a passion
And Passion with a pursuit
Reverse all of that back live inside of that's exactly what we have to do
There are many questions I have yet to ask
Many answers I have left to find
But I will not be ashamed of who I am
Every single one of us all are one of a kind
I know that as I close this chapter everything will be alright
I decided that the deciding factor will not be the dark but be the light
