Kind of know but not know what's coming... trying not to look just at the present but beyond. Trying not to look through my eyes, but eyes of faith.
In due time I'll have a story to tell... but right now it's all in pieces, but each time I look 'up', He's always there to hold me on, I know, there's something great in this... I'm just waiting and praying.
Cuz my life is different I'm learning how to live in the difference. Trying not to let difference change me but to be the difference. I seem surrounded by darkness at times, but the light within still shines bright, He's leading my way, I see it so clearly.. To the spectator there seems no direction, but really, I'm very joyful right now... though things may not be flowing straight, but I feel very blessed and things are going ahead.
What's coming? God knows. :) And because I know He knows what He's doing... I can keep holding on to His Promises...!
What can I do when God endlessly smacks encouragement right in my face? What did I do?
Really... I love it and can't help but smile and laugh at it... God's fun, amazing and genuinely sincere... I mean like, there's really no other who does this.
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.
Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."
- Matthew 5:3-12 (NIV)
Today I was working and for some reason I kept wanting to listen to The Ambassador's song... so I did a quick youtube search... and found this awesome song. His lyrics are always so deep... not just a simple rap song..
For those who love it.. or wanna taste a bit of rap... enjoy! :)
Gimme Dat - The Ambassador
It takes someone with a close and growing relationship with God to write such lyrics... deep! Enjoy..
Gimme Dat Lyrics
Verse 1
Gimme dat bible
Gimme dat bible
Gimme dat mic
I'll drop Jesus anyway so he can make a disciple
Can't surpass Christ there's no takin' his title
A passion for Christ I'll have you prayin' for revival
Gimma my city, yeah
Gimme dat-- less fish
Gospel of peace, yeah
You can give me dat-- fresh kicks
Gimme dat
Vest with your blessin' Lord I'm desperate
You gave me your life
So I look forward to my exit
I used to be a punk-kid
Used to wanna run, with
Dudes dat wanna hunt that
Turned our ones into hundreds
Used to run the blunt to be blunt
I wanted trees just to alter my mind
Now I find I'm wantin' Jesus
Used to run and roll mad deep with the street clique
Corner holdin' heat on the low like a secret
God's spirit penetrated my soul on a sneak tip
Took control now I'm in his floor like a leaflet
Chorus
Gimme dat fire
Gimme dat fire
Gimme dat flame
Gimme dat fresh wind
Gimme dat rain
Gimme dat freedom
You can have the chains
Gimme dat God who can gimme all things
Verse 2
I know you got riches
I know you got ice
Your life is a big party
You're partyin' all night
You don't mind not knowin' Christ
In your mind dat's alright
You might not get this now
But you're kind of a Saul type
You keep with the trends
Cool's your middle name
On your pants you got a chain
The juice like Lil' Wayne
You're tattooed in a Benz
Maybe you're inarranged
Ladies, you drivin' crazy
Nothin's crazier than your frame!
(This is a shame!)
It's the age and I'm game
It's the age and I'm game
To be an agent of change
And at age, it's like a page in a flame
Just smoke, just mirrors, just vapor is plain
You see, a Holy God is not one of your favorite things
I was just like you,
But God moved on a fellow
Gave me good news
Dat I could use on the ghetto
Maybe it's you who wants a
U-turn to settle
You dead or you do??
I'll tell you it's been settled
Verse 3
So you got platinum?
We got our Lord
If we want, we could ask him
But he's our reward
Gotta be perfect
It can't be three out of four
If you're sick of fallin' short
Then he got a cure
Gimme dat cure, dat door, dat hero
Gimme dat grace dat never chased the dinero
How much glory should you give your boy? Zero
That would cause beef with the Lamb like a Gyro
Gimme dat day reaches you over shinin'
Truth over rhymin'
Virtue over diamonds
Gimme some change
Sometimes I do need the dough
Gimme some pain
Somethin' -- I do need to grow
Gimme what I won't ask for
Don't gimme what I seek
When I creep, I'm a sheep
Gimme your pasture
Gimme life
Just like you intended
It's like to see you raise the day you ascended
