Still Knocks Lyrics

Knocks, beat

knocks, beat

Still knocks... this beat

Jesus still knocks, and so does this beat

At the end John took an island retreat

In the revelation he wrote to God's peeps

7 different spots, northeast of Crete

Jesus still knocks, and so does this beat

God sent His son so we could be free

Til we're like Him, the work's not complete

7 messages he sent to entreat

Jesus still knocks, and so does this beat

Don't take the fruit from the knowledge tree

or be preoccupied with eschatology

7 different lessons, He beckons you to see

Jesus still knocks, and so does this beat

If the beat is hot, lyrically I'm freezing

Staying on my face, and on my knees and there's

Always a reason, staying ready in and out of season

Til an instruction emerges

To the seven churches, I'm giving you a version

Tailored to your needs, dislikes and aversions

Whether Jew or Greek, Asian or Persian

Get equipped to defend an incursion

To the church in Ephesus, y'all leave me breathless

With your hard work and perseverance

In this way, your legacy is peerless

But I got something for ya, you gotta hear this

You need to return to your first love

Your lack of fervor, is so unheard of

It's good that you hate pagan idolatry

But you can't afford to live so haughtily

Next up, lemme holla at Smyrna

I know you think you're broke but I can turn a

Poverty circumstance into a solution

Don't be scared of suffering, or persecution

If you find yourself imprisoned yo it's just a test

So be faithful, even unto death

Stay vigilant, and if you're feeling down

Even with a jumpsuit, shoot, you can wear a crown

Ayo Pergamum, y'all kept the faith

Even in a place where Satan laid waste

Still, we gotta talk about the facts and

How you facilitate idolatrous acts

Cause my patience is almost spent

From you followin' others into rebellion

If you don't repent, we'll be havin' it out,

They gon' learn to keep my name, straight out of their mouth

At the end John took an island retreat

In the revelation he wrote to God's peeps

Seven different spots, northeast of Crete

Jesus still knocks, and so does this beat

God sent His son so we could be free

Til we're like Him, the work's not complete

Seven messages he sent to entreat

Jesus still knocks, and so does this beat

Don't take the fruit from the knowledge tree

or be preoccupied with eschatology

Seven different lessons, He beckons you to see

Jesus still knocks, and so does this beat

To the church in Thyratira

The son of man's eyes are a blazing fire-ah

And I know your deeds, your reputation says it well

But you gotta stop toleratin' Jezebel

Cause taking a stand, yo, it's vital

Against immorality and worshiping idols

I'mma give you a chance, cuz I'm not a hater

But if you don't repent, you gon' suffer later

And to the church in Sardis

You used to be alive, but it seems so far this situation

Has indicated, that in this, you've been misled

You think you're alive, but in fact you're dead

I mean straight up your strength is diminished

But I'm here to say your work is unfinished

What you did before, just hold it fast and

I'll return you to, your victorious past

And lemme say to the church at Philadelph

I hold the key to long life, wealth, and health

Your strength is gone, momentum frozen

But a door that I open? Can't nobody close it

You have endured and kept my commands

So I'mma spare you from calamitous plans

I'm coming back soon, and before I'm through

You'll receive a new name in the new Jeru

And now as for you, Laodicea

I know your deeds and I wish you'd be a vessel

That's either hot or cold but you're neither

Since you're lukewarm you got to take a breather

Cause if you don't, I'mma spit you out, time to go

You think you're doing well, pshhh - you don't even know

But I'm knocking, back at your door again,

So if you wanna get down, then just let me in

At the end John took an island retreat

In the revelation he wrote to God's peeps

Seven different spots, northeast of Crete

Jesus still knocks, and so does this beat

God sent His son so we could be free

Til we're like Him, the work's not complete

Seven messages he sent to entreat

Jesus still knocks, and so does this beat

Don't take the fruit from the knowledge tree

Or be preoccupied with eschatology

Seven different lessons, He beckons you to see

Jesus still knocks, and so does this beat

Jesus still knocks and so does this beat

Jesus still knocks and so does this beat

Jesus still knocks and so does this beat

Jesus still knocks and so does this beat

Jesus still knocks and so does this beat

Jesus still knocks and so does this beat

Jesus still knocks and so does this beat

Jesus still knocks and so does this beat
