Empowerment Lyrics

Oh lord

Thanks for this life entrusted to me

I'm seeking out your love for empowerment to proceed

Lord, take me as I am

This dark soul, into your hands

And make it new

Strip it all down to the truth

Which is you and the service that I must provide

My testimony to the gospel of the Lord, j

Jesus Christ

Ever since a little dude I believed in you

My earth dad taught me how to start seekin truth

And led me to the Word, so I could learn

That's when the fire started burning

I was immature, perverted, mind distorted

By the whole world and the culture

A young bird amongst the savage vultures

Caught up in the mix, caved into temptation

Sex, drugs, rock and roll, partying in basements

Brain dead, I thought that if I could just moderate

And not die that God would prolly tolerate

But that was my mistake, learning every day still

Gotta turn my life around to Heaven where the pay's real

Oh lord

Thanks for this life entrusted to me

I'm seeking out your love for empowerment to proceed

Prodigal son on return from the run

Thought that u could do it my way

Oh how dumb

No regrets, just lessons learned, I'm still goin

Tryna clean house for the Lord, my door is open

I see how I can get on track, it gets better

But I don't wanna be no young foolish forgetter

Cuz when life gets good, I forget where it comes from

My eyes are on the world, I'm a sucker, a dum dum

I think that I'm in charge like its my design

Got a lot of nice things but none of em mine

Not my life, God leads the way

And I am just now starting to not care what people say

I got faith and I'm implementing it through my music

Its my talent and I feel like it's my duty to use it

I am and I always will, paid or not

Yo I love hip hop but glory always be to God

Oh lord

Thanks for this life entrusted to me

I'm seeking out your love for empowerment to proceed

The power of music is real when God resides in it

But it's all up to me to change how I'm livin

I look up to my spiritual mentors, the force of the Holy Spirit at work, it can't be ignored

I listen, tryna put the Word into action

Taking up my cross, gotta live out the passion

Denying myself is way harder than I thought

My little heart in this big world gets lost

It helps though, being a hip hop head

Hearing all these Christian artists knockin em dead

From Lecrae to Kanye, its nothin but love

Don't stop man I needed yall to get me up

Yo Trejo and Mineo, thanks for your service

The fire burning under me is something your work did

The ways that God works through us is crazy

The Spirit never ceases to amaze me

Hallelujah

Oh lord

Thanks for this life entrusted to me

I'm seeking out your love for empowerment to proceed
