Gotta Grow |
| I wasn’t never the type that’s tryna kill folks |
| Nothing too bad maybe dabbled in a lil smoke |
| A lil lust, but wasn’t never seen as a bad dude |
| Was livin for myself dreamed of wealth and makin cash move |
| Was told of a savior who raised named Jesus |
| That paid full of grace and I did believe it |
| They told me He would hold me and I was blessed wit Christ |
| I’m like, «I get to go to Heaven? |
| Man I’m set for life.» |
| But after that, I was just ya average Sunday Christian |
| Up in church wit my bible, back Monday sinning |
| Up in the school yard trying hard to blend in |
| Was acting dead as a carcass, far from livin |
| I was all up in the world, I was just like the rest of them |
| Called myself a Christian, but would sin with the best of them |
| I wouldn’t share my faith or read my Word it’s crazy |
| I was a immature believer, a spiritual baby |
| We gotta grow, we can’t stay in the same place |
| We gotta grow, we gotta be seeking His face |
| We gotta grow, so if you saved and you’ve been pardoned |
| We gotta grow, you ain’t done you just getting started |
| I was my own guide, would never dive in His truth |
| But didn’t realize that I was set aside for His use |
| So I’d just live for what I thought was my best interest |
| Around nonbelievers you couldn’t tell the difference |
| Wan’t a thug, nah I ain’t got no horror story |
| But was livin for myself not the Lord and His glory |
| My confession: I didn’t seek my Dad’s perfection |
| Was goin down the wrong road like I had bad directions |
| Until He showed my not imitating the Christ |
| And livin fo me I was truly wasting my life |
| And that Christ died so I could have relationship |
| But by my actions I refused to take this gift |
| Until He made a switch and now I want some mo of Him daily |
| By His grace I’m growing and have matured from a baby |
| I’m so grateful that I’ve been torn from sin |
| And day by day He’s makin me more like Him |
| We gotta grow, we can’t stay in the same place |
| We gotta grow, we gotta be seeking His face |
| We gotta grow, so if you saved and you’ve been pardoned |
| We gotta grow, you ain’t done you just getting started |
| So for my believers, I just wanna encourage y’all |
| To draw closer to the Lord I know you heard His call |
| Even if you ain’t smokin an shootin at domes |
| If you don’t do it all fo His glory, you doin it wrong |
| Heaven ain’t the only reason we got saved |
| If we don’t get to know Jesus then we got played |
| Plus we gotta change, He said He’d change us all |
| And the faith without fruit, that ain’t faith at all (why) |
| Sanctification, check Romans 6 |
| We ‘posed to switch, die to sin and grow in holiness |
| All my brothers and sister I know this walk is tough |
| But even if you young just getting saved is not enough |
| We gotta talk to Him, read who the Lord in the skies is |
| The reason we breathe is to enjoy and glorify Him |
| I’m grateful the Father is changing ya boy |
| And getting closer to Him is an unexplainable joy |
| We gotta grow, we can’t stay in the same place |
| We gotta grow, we gotta be seeking His face |
| We gotta grow, so if you saved and you’ve been pardoned |
| We gotta grow, you ain’t done you just getting started |
