Can't write with my right right now
Use what's left of my left right now
Doesn't mean that it'll stop me doing whatever
You's got me doing
To my best and I will never pipe down
You said I'll do it, I do it, coz You know that I can do it
Wouldn't be here if You knew I couldn't battle through it
But maybe this just battle scars, here to prep my heart
Telling me that You won't forget to have my back from start
They say sticks and stones break my bones, but You're the One to mend it
While I was fighting sin it was me that You defended
You took the pain for us guaranteeing death amended
But some ignore Your pain and I can feel that You're offended
You came for the lame and the low and the meek and
We ain't playing cards but You know I got a weak hand
You promised all things if we first seek this
You can make a miracle from weakness
Chorus.
You were broken so that I would be whole
And you bled so it would clean up my soul
There is nowhere else now for me to go
So I give it up to you to control
Fix me like broken bones
2.
One time payment for it all to be mended
And despite my name being Ralph, I dont wanna wreck it
But feeling just to rock it like Jeremy Lin
York'n feel New but Housto-never die in their sin?
Uh, You never fail me. You are breath of life I need
To keep the blood pumping through my capillaries
Jehovah Rafa, Your body broken so that healing power could be flowing out to work in all those who need it
Not just physically, but even spiritually
You'll even help us make a change more seriously
Whatever the problem is, You have the answer ready for me
Right from the start to finish and everything in between
So, go ahead and take the first position
I trust You as the doctor when You make an incision, uh
Lead the way and guide the path for me
Coz I'm coming after You like the letter V

Here I am again, nothing new to You
I bet You're sick of this, trust, i'm sick of it too
It's like I'm always on repeat of what I go through
I can't take it, but i guess You already knew
Where's that endurance that You promised me
And that assurance in the battle that You'd cover me
See, I cant really blame You, You ain't do nothing wrong
But I cant stand to be left broken when I'm on my own
I got some minor problems and some major ones
But if I tell other people they'll just start making fun
Once I open my mouth I sense that insecurity
But You with all Your purity can break what is obscuring me
A break is what I need
But You have said that You would strengthen me in all I do, the outer shell withstands the heat
But what's the point if the contents is a mess?
And You already know in all of Your omniscience
Chorus.
Coz I'm see through, everything is displayed
See through, nothing I can hide away
You see me through every time, everyday
See through me, through me like an XRay
2.
What can I keep from You? No point trying to hide
Running in circles when I should run to the El Shaddai
Not someone else, should I feel like it's its hell, should I
Know what to say, because I don't, and I don't want to die
And death is payment for the wrong things I be clenching on
But there's no fair trade way where I could sell them on
You have better offer, a life guarantee
Free from everything, even the price is free
I'll take the offer if it still stands
And place the rest of what is on my back into Your open hands
Still I don't get that, You'd take me even though my heart is straight black
With everything you know of me, You're not expecting payback?
What's it that you expect? You know I'm just a mess
Your offer states that You can help me to relieve the stress
You know everything, every burden, every test
Broken by myself, so please take care of the rest

Why'd everybody clown Rodney King
When he said that "Why can't we all get along" thing?
Man, it makes perfect sense to me
But history tries to show us it wasn't meant to be
And I agree with Jim Morrison, people are strange
And some of 'em are even worse, like they're evil and deranged
Funny thing is that no one even knows it
That they may be twisting messages from the pulpits
Teaching us not to love but to be haters
Making war in the name of the Creator
As if God's on both sides
But the truth is God told us that we should "Love both sides"
Yeah, I know it sounds naive
But I'm thankful for every single breath I breathe
And I wouldn't want it taken just for the hell of it
Truth be told, we would all benefit from more love
Chorus.
It's all love
Why can't we just love?
When push comes to shove
I wish that it was all love
2.
But we glorify hate
As people want to embrace the dumb and natural state
Where we send kids out to war to die greatly misled
by sentences intentionally misread
Technological advances are major
But we seem to never get past human nature
We're taught the rhetoric, "Love thy neighbour"
But counteract it by that thug-like behaviour
And as we spread more fear
We see the the end of the tunnel lighting up more clearly, uh
And that's a true threat
Coz we ain't invented a weapon we ain't used yet
And on that fateful day that the world ends
Will we remember life or our true friends
And what would be the last thing you'd do
Before you'd be taken away for your destiny and experience the Lord's true love
3.
That covers up a lot of things but this
Means nothing if you ain't got Him, rubbish
Might even feel at times that it's hopeless
Damage that's done like my past weeks of brokenness
But still I live life and endure the pain
Coz it works through me like an XRay
Teaching us to develop ourselves
And how to love us and everyone when no one else will
And that's what I'm trying to focus on more
I guess that's what I wrote this song for
Being incapable of doing things got me
Thinking how I can love it all the way God sees
Coz when people do what they love they unknowingly
They make every task involved become poetry
And I'm done with the hate
I just want to laugh in the sun, have fun, generate more love

Don't judge me coz i used the beat of a viral epidemic
Call it lazy or creative, crazy, cool or academic
But for now let's have some fun, just coz we know Him doesn't mean we can't
So get up on your feet or bounce in your seat, lemme make this thing angelic
Coz I got the fire that be burning in my soul
Got me writing all these bars and you know I'm on a roll
And I'm out the red cast with some healing bones
Thanking GOD, He the CEO
In reality I'm tryna get you all to know
There's a God and a heaven where you want to go
You already a believer if you're saved through grace
Coz He took your place, died and rose
Pre-Chorus.
So while we living
Let's keep believing
John 3:16
So while we living
Let's keep believing
John 3:16
And put Him first like Matthew 6:33
Chorus.
Open Gospel style
Eyyyyyyy saying Amen
2.
Ready steady get set go, let's carry out the Great Commission
Let's go let it out and rise like it's a CO2 emission
But this ain't no pollution, no allergen like nuts and gluten
We got Him who when you have a problem, He has the solution
You gotta know that my Lord above all
Is ever living and cause all the demons to fall and if a living creature doesn't give Him praise up in the place
He'll take a rock and make it bow down in awe
Know that He be worthy to be glorified
By His rule we should all abide
Listen now, do or die
Coz this ain't going on Spotify
Bridge.
Get it on,
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
And we gon bust the Kingdom skank from night till morn
Get it on,
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
And we gon bust the Kingdom skank until the morning
You gon learn today!

Intro to Victory

Battle, first thought, what's your weapon of choice?
Double-edged sword spoken out of God's own voice
Written into the Scripture, I really wanna get you
Reading in between the lines and see the bigger picture
Get you thinking quite deep into what it really means
It makes you watch His Words like karaoke machines
God's Word is more important than just words on a bit of paper
Truth when He said "I'll be back". Terminator
Some skipped a page and never read the others
And some intend to never even open the cover
They build their own God that only satisfies their wealth
Believing there isn't a God because their God is themselves
See they say He don't exist coz of the mess we're living in
Saying that if God is there why do calamities begin?
Humans chose to rebel thinking they were correct
Then the world had no controller, xbox kinect
A sense of loss turned into abuse of free will
Now they have the cheek to question God's activity still
Hearts are like concrete, it seems like they never will
Open their head with His two-edged sword, Kill Bill
Lucifer's on a kill streak, Call of Duty
But we serve a greater God and this is our call of duty
It's a modern warfare, but we know the truth and truly
God will be our strength, fear not, Scooby Dooby
Do the will of the Lord, get with the Trinity
See what God has done for His sheep through the history
Run with Him, leave your past happiness and misery
God is for us so be sure us soldiers got the victory
Who can be against us? Hear my epitome
Once I am on God's side no one can belittle me
Will this be your discovery? I really hope you're gonna see
The light inside His glory, fix your eyes to this epiphany
Run with Him, leave your past happiness and misery
God is for us so be sure us soldiers got the victory
Run with Him, leave your past happiness and misery
God is for us so be sure us soldiers got the victory!
