Forever Lyrics

The lord is with me in the fire - but he ain't leave it there

To the left and to the right - there are plenty here

Enduring many trials - overcoming fear

2 stepping in the flames by the spirit yeah

Oh, while I'm traveling along

I know I'll never be alone, forever

We're forever

Oh, though we struggle and get it wrong

Grace will never let us go, forever

We're forever

No longer are the days, of playing all for self on this court

The aim is different now, you can say that we've switched sports

To hoops from tennis, to troops from enemies

Though we were - God removed the tension

We are free

So we bear with each other as he does

Bread and wine together like twins fresh out the sleeper

Push to go even deeper in devotion to fear God

Hold it down and up at the same time like a cheer squad

Confessions confidential, no gossip when there's chatter

In humility place others, higher up on the ladder

Yeah there's immature wheat, wolves and grown tares

But flakes and drop outs don't erase, the good here

So I won't abandon ship - because of bad servants

Like I won't stop eating out - because of bad service

But answer the call to fellowship sacrifice and live worship

Thankful to testify that I've seen the body in motion, that means

Being honest when the words are uncomfortable

Discarding garbage when the matter is renounceable

Forgiving when offended, authentic, accountable

Mercy bountiful, we plant and water though

Everyone with a hose won't be perfect with their aim

And those that drop seeds sometimes miss and leave strays

Know that's me included I have let some people down

Don't always hit the mark

But I'm thankful that grace abounds

The Church

Oh, while I'm traveling along

I know I'll never be alone, forever

We're forever

Oh, though we struggle and get it wrong

Grace will never let us go, forever

We're forever

Though the devil wants to destroy our witness

With so many wicked men false flaggin the village

Pious in posture and words but really they are villains

Claiming the body, while, stealing a body they pillaged

Said it was Jesus, but really came in the name of privilege

Rock wasn't the cornerstone, really it was the Plymouth

You ply their mouths open wide, a bunch of lies in attendance

Spew it to itching ears with no capacity limits

With a cross on their lips they, double crossed and they stitched a

Tapestry full of hatred, lawless with hollow repentance

Fought for the right to rip a parent, away from their children

Preach a sermon on Sunday morning

Later raping and killing

And conversions by the sword you believe or you bleed

Made a mockery out of Grace, eating by any means

Robbin the congregation, some of them are nothing but thieves

With no depth or nutrition in the things that they speak

Oh but theres a remnant, God is never left without a witness

Disciples who press to serve the sheep with care and conviction

With spiritual fruit instructed in righteousness by the scriptures

Known by their love for each other

Giving mercy and wisdom

Not imprisoned, but empowered

To be family cause he chose us

Dismantled the hostile wall and made a body, from the portions

Yet distinctions remain, our dignity not erased

Peculiar, wonderfully crafted a tapestry stitched in faith

The church

I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to quit

Sometimes God is good but people's full of it

Exhaustion settles in, I want to chuck the deuce

Could say I'm good all by myself but that's not the truth

Not made to be all by my lonesome

Though behavior from these people can be loathsome

Mercy mercy mercy mercy mercy me

Remembering that people is including me

Everyone here is imperfect

Bought by the one fit to purchase

He prayed that we would be one, so

When I'm tired I still deem it worth it

To deal when there are reasons to call the game

One makes it worth it come and stay

We can't love God and then hate each other

Being one doesn't mean that were all the same

Bring all that we are to his table

His love is steadfast, sure and stable

The work of the spirit as central

Hearts full of thanksgiving's essential
