Who am I that I should see Your grace? Who am I that I should get a taste... of the faith, that led You to the Cross in my place? Who am I that I should see? The God eternal die for me? On a tree... I fall down on my knees Lord, who am I? Verse 1: Who am I that I should ever receive grace in, spite of all the things that I've done in my life up to this day? Who am I that I should ever understand the, Son of man, Lamb of God, on a Cross... NAILS THROUGH HIS HANDS!? Who am I that I should see? Who am I that I should breathe? Who am I that I should see a Deity bleed for me and... who am I that I should speak? Who am I that I should teach? Who am I that I would obtain mercy from David's seed? John 8:3, a lady caught in adultery, PLEASE! She would plead, for her life! On her knees! Then, Jesus speaks! And to say the very least, the Pharisees realize they're no better than she! So they FLEE! And all you hear, is stones hit the ground... what a sound! Profound! Then Jesus bends down... "No one condemns you, go FREE!" He would say... what's amazing is THIS is You and I every day, but WHO AM I?! Who am I that I should see Your grace? Who am I that I should get a taste... of the faith, that led You to the Cross in my place? Who am I that I should see? The God eternal die for me? On a tree... I fall down on my knees Lord, who am I? Verse 2: Who am I? For whom, You would die? In spite of my lies... in spite of my pride! Why, God?! I'll never fully understand... the weight of my sin CAUSE I AM JUST A MAN! With many flaws, with many faults... with heavy wrongs, but I still exalt who YOU are and who I am in comparison, You're higher than Isaiah and the seraphim! I'll declare again! That I have no significance, if I don't realize my WICKEDNESS! I'm so sick of this state of mind, thinkin' that I "deserve..." more than what I've been given, every breath on this Earth... so FIRST! I kill my pride.. the habit that says I have to have a status to survive... WHAT A LIE! But deep inside, I realize that I'm a child of Christ, THAT'S who I am, so who am I? Who am I that I should see Your grace? Who am I that I should get a taste... of the faith, that led You to the Cross in my place? Who am I that I should see? The God eternal die for me? On a tree... I fall down on my knees Lord, who am I? Verse 3: Who am I? To not accept Your love... When You died on the Cross... Shed Your innocent blood! And who am I? To deserve what You've done!? On Calvary, You gave Your one and only Son! Who am I that I should see Your grace? Who am I that I should get a taste... of the faith, that led You to the Cross in my place? Who am I that I should see? The God eternal die for me? On a tree... I fall down on my knees Lord, who am I?

Verse 1: But rewind the tape, this is me at 15! I was that bitter and lethargic kind, "I need my fix" feign!

My eyes saw the spikes that were purposefully sharpened just to pierce through His carcas wrists!

The new me, I shine Christ call me Mr. Prism! I move how the Lord move.. mannerism! Flesh dead! Let me tell you what this war entails, Christians well, prayers prevail, devil workers back to Hell!

At my breakin' point, Jesus gave me new sight, access to His web, it's a red-type web site, now I'm in His network but I guess that's wh-what happens, me and Him are LinkedIn... chain reaction... This is the new me! Lord I decree! This is the new me! You better believe! This is the new me! And if you knew me... Before I knew He, get to know the new me!

If you catch me backslide, open your hand backside and backslap the taste out my mouth, until I'm back right! And pray for me, 'cause I know I'm new and all, summer want me to spring, others want the winter to fall.. now take a pause... and recall the call to be holy cause He's holy just like an old pair of draws! This is the new me! Lord I decree! This is the new me! You better believe! This is the new me! And if you knew me... Before I knew He, get to know the new me! (Repeat)

Verse 1: Lord God I pray, on my knees I kneel, I pray for those in pain, that Your words would heal.. convey Your truth God! May it be revealed! To those who are fearing the feeling that You are real... I pray for the sickened, I pray for the broken. I pray for the pain stricken, who feel hopeless. For those who are scared, to share their story! That they would understand that their brokenness becomes Your glory! I pray for my 2 sisters and my older brother... for my father, and for my mother. That every day they would know that You are God and there is NO OTHER! That You would shine Your light, like the sun in the summer! Give them wisdom, holdin' dear what is sacred, and if they should hate, I pray they hate hatred! Show us where to go, and just say when... help us grow, this I pray... AMEN. This I pray... in the midst of the pain... You'd seize the day! And see through the rain! Open your eyes, to the Truth that remains! This I pray... This I pray... Verse 2: Lord I'm back again, and this time.. I pray this wouldn't be just a quick rhyme... 'cause when the kick dies, and when the clap fades, I don't wanna be wearing a mask, masquerade! When my faith is dry, help me advocate! Activate Your flood gates, rain down cascade! And so I pray for the teens and the kids, that You would show them what it means to forgive... This I pray, I pray for my nephew, that he would grow to be a man who would bless You! That he would walk with integrity and be humble! And he would cry out to You when he stumbles! This I pray! I pray for my neices... that they would grow to become worshipers of JESUS! That they would value their purity, and not look to a man, but to You for their security... This I pray... in the midst of the pain... You'd seize the day! And see through the rain! Open your eyes, to the Truth that remains! This I pray... This I pray... Verse 3: Life and breath, a treasure truly! I get to bask in the bliss of Your beauty! So I pray that I would take a chance... I would take Your hand! In Your love I would dance! Every ounce of me, all of me, is all I have to give! I pray for the faith of a seed, as You show me how to grow into a tree! This I pray... in the midst of the pain... You'd seize the day! And see through the rain! Open your eyes, to the Truth that remains! This I pray... This I pray...

You say this life is all you have. But you waste it time and time again. I pray that you could see how beautiful Is the One that you've been searching for. Life in Christ... Life in Christ... Life in Christ... Life in Christ! Verse 1: What is your fantasy? Is it front row in the Grammy seats? Hotel resorts, tailored shorts, fancy suites, or Miami beach?! Where the climate's warm and you're in hot water like a bag of tea!? Or watching the day go by on Rodeo Drive with bags and receipts? What is your fantasy? Tell me what, what do you plan to be? In five years what are your ideas of the good life? Come on answer me! Honestly what do you dream about? Palm trees on the scenic route? Or a calm breeze seated out on the sun porch of your dream house?! You say this life is all you have. But you waste it time and time again. I pray that you could see how beautiful Is the One that you've been searching for. Life in Christ... Life in Christ... Life in Christ... Life in Christ! Verse 2: See you look at your life, don't like what you see.. If only you could be what you see on TV: Short hair, long legs, full lips, white tee, new whip, new chain, new fresh white tee. If this is what makes you love you, then what is left when these are through? The truth is awaiting, what will you believe in? I wish that you could see... that beauty is fleeting. And the love that you seek is right in front of you. You say this life is all you have. But you waste it time and time again. I pray that you could see how beautiful Is the One that you've been searching for. Life in Christ... Life in Christ... Life in Christ... Life in Christ!

Verse 1: There’s a war goin’ on on the stages! There’s a war goin’ on on the pages! There’s a war goin on within the playlists! There’s a war goin’ on on the pavement! There’s a war goin’ on throughout the nations! There’s a war goin’ on within the races! There’s a war goin’ on due to hatred! There’s a war there’s a war everyday kid! It’s hard to make it, money’s tight! Dr. Phil and Oprah help us run our life.. That sounds funny right? We all have our own dirt like a muddy bike! And it’s berserk how we search for the yucky type! We wanna hit up the club and have a lucky night, we go and chuck the dice, the kind of luck where lightning came and struck you twice… TWICE! We about to bust like a runny pipe! It’s time to! TAKE A STAND! Everybody get your hands high If you wanna do more than just stand by! TAKE A STAND! Everybody get ya hands up, STAND UP! This the warrior anthem! (Repeat) Verse 2: Every day there’s suicide, we feed into the lies, abortion rates rise, society’s demise.. We need to speak up! But we murmur rarely.. We don’t value life, we just murder daily! Sometimes I sit and watch the news, and I feel more confused, as to why we do what we do, a misconstrued point of view, it seems to me! That we ain’t in the mood for truth but we seem to be! Quick to judge, and slow to love! We swift to hold a grudge even though we know it’s us at the root of the feud, overcome by our pride, We pollute what we view through the roots of our eyes... In the booth I could hide, but I choose and decide to remove all my pride, in the Truth I abide, Let the youth get the vibe and the movement arise! Christ on high comin’ soon for His bride! TAKE A STAND! Everybody get your hands high If you wanna do more than just stand by! TAKE A STAND! Everybody get ya hands up, STAND UP! This the warrior anthem! (Repeat) Verse 3: Mind focused, gotta stay strong.. Hold onto your faith when the rain comes! We ignore the chains until the pain’s numb, and then we live every day on the same song! I can see that we need peace! Just a piece of relief is what we seek... And we hopin’ to drown out the sound of our grief, but the moment is now STAND UP FOR YOUR BELIEFS AND! Be free you can find it in Christ, Designer of life, He’s shining His light, He’s got your eye in His sight! See it all boils down to our choices, and my choice is to be the voice of the voiceless! The murdered, the martyred, the mute… The fallen troops, all of the indigenous groups BUT! We sit back while they are killed, and if we don’t take a stand for these people… Then who will?! TAKE A STAND! Everybody get your hands high If you wanna do more than just stand by! TAKE A STAND! Everybody get ya hands up, STAND UP! This the warrior anthem! (Repeat 2X)

Verse 1: I just don’t get it… I don’t understand! The purpose, the meaning of creation of man, what’s my reason for breathin’ even bein’ on this land? Is it to only meet all of life’s demands?! And man lately?! I feel so confused! It’s like I lost sight, of the breakthrough, I escape in the booth! I tend to debate with the Truth, I try to hide from Your eyes, I create my own roof! I try to tell my crew but they just can’t grasp, my emotions and how I’m cloaked in a mask… I don’t want my future, created by my past, There’s SO MUCH trash, I can’t help but ask! What is the meaning of my life?! Is it to only do things that I like?! And what is the meaning of me being here?! I don’t quite know, I need to see it clear! And what is the purpose of my breath?! Is it to take every step just flirtin’ with death?! What is the reason I exist?! Is it to achieve every dream that I have wished?! Verse 2: So much inquisition, thoughts I’ve pondered... The meaning of life, my mind begins to wander… Wonder, a bunch of doubts that I have conjured under the surface, I’ve created a monster! I thought I was a Christian, how could I fall?! "Walkin’ all tall" when my back’s against the wall! My nephew looks up to me and I dropped the ball... And lately I don’t feel like a Christian AT ALL but MAN! There’s gotta be somethin’ else, ‘cause at this point I am so disgusted with myself, so much stress, I thought the marijuana would help!? But in the end, I fell, and this is how I felt… like Michael Phelps did, I disappointed all my peers... My parents, my fans, my pastors, my leaders! I’m filled with fear! I need a listening ear, I’m on my knees, DESPERATE FOR SOMEONE TO HEAR ME! What is the meaning of my life?! Is it to only do things that I like?! And what is the meaning of me being here?! I don’t quite know, I need to see it clear! And what is the purpose of my breath?! Is it to take every step just flirtin’ with death?! What is the reason I exist?! Is it to achieve every dream that I have wished?! Verse 3: Now I reach my peak of fear I feel weak! I need a piece of God’s peace it’s out of reach! Bleak, I breathe meaningless speech, bittersweet, feel the heat of sin how it creeps! I teach, speak... but often don’t live it! A fugitive imprisoned in the world that I live in... You must be kiddin’ AGAIN I’m sinnin’ trippin’, spittin’ in God’s face live a scandal like Nixon! BUT THEN! God showed me I’m forgiven He told me there’s so much more to my mission than being restricted, to affliction! No longer submittin’ to the opposition. Conviction’s a beast! But it’s something I need... His love still shines and God gave me peace! Words can’t describe how much it meant to me to be forgiven and in Christ find my identity ‘CAUSE! NOW I KNOW THE MEANING OF MY LIFE! AND IT’S TO BE TRANSFORMED INTO CHRIST! AND NOW I KNOW THE MEANING OF ME BEING HERE! NO LONGER VISION BLURRED, NOW I SEE IT CLEAR! NOW I KNOW THE PURPOSE OF MY BREATH! TO EVERYDAY PUT MY FLESH TO REST! AND NOW I KNOW THE REASON I EXIST AND IT’S TO BECOME LIKE CHRIST IN LIFE AND NEVER QUIT!

At the end... I can see, that you believe. And at last, you will find the answers here! What you long, I can see... will change forever. And at last, you will find the answers here! Verse 1: So many questions that we face, like what direction should we take?! At the fork in the road, where do we go? How we know that we gonna be OK?! So we decide to make a move through... to be safe we choose to, fill the gaps in the holes that we have in our souls, so we try to fit the mold how we're told to! A never-ending cycle, we confide in idols who rival the Bible's words that were heard, purged, served in a verse, converged emerged Christ who became a curse for me! So for eternity, I will learn to be... burning with belief on the 3rd degree! I'm in the world but not of it like mercury, a United State of emergency! Like surgery.... I'm opened up! To the fact that there isn't an answer to every question even though it's tough! And when the show is up? I wanna stand firm like a tree... know that GOD is the answer that I seek, I yearn to believe! At the end... I can see, that you believe. And at last, you will find the answers here! What you long, I can see... will change forever. And at last, you will find the answers here! Verse 2: So many, different questions! In my mind yet still I wonder... Why?! Tell me why?! Why?! Tell me why?! Sometimes I look for the answers, in so many secret sins, but for real I got THE answer, Jesus paid for ALL MY SIN! How many of ya'll got questions?! And He may never respond to your questions... wondering why life is so tight, but here I come and bring the answer.. the devil, run this world.. he take kindness and mercy... love, joy, faithfulness... peace and humbleness! He transformed it to his own way, we cannot love each other, we cannot stand each other, we cannot say we're brothers! Friend, I got the answer, TWO WORDS... JESUS CHRIST! No matter who you are, come to the Cross and FIND THE ANSWERS! At the end... I can see, that you believe. And at last, you will find the answers here! What you long, I can see... will change forever. And at last, you will find the answers here! Verse 3: I always thought about life, but could never really understand it... so I panicked, I would try to find the answers through my circumstances.. but what were the chances?! That He found me! In the midst of my fear and my doubting!? Surrounding my entity, and blessing me with life and now I wanna BRAG ON CHRIST! Let the world know, who I am 'cause UNASHAMED is what I claim, I come to let you know, CHRIST IS KING! He's merciful, holy, faithful, humble, glorious, COME TO THE CROSS AND YOU WILL SEE THAT! At the end... I can see, that you believe. And at last, you will find the answers here!

Reason 04:23
TEACH US TONIGHT! BECAUSE WE’RE SEARCHIN’ FOR THE SON... YOU ARE THE REASON! THOUGH OUR WORLD HAS COME UNDONE , DON’T HIDE AWAY! YOU ARE THE REASON WE ARE HERE, WE NEED YOU WITH US! AND TO GUIDE US AGAIN WITH OUR FEAR! YOU ARE THE REASON... YOU ARE THE REASON! Verse 1: Father God we, completely recognize, Your sovereignty, we need to emphasize... How Your love conquered death Lord it testified to Your divine power, oh how it never lies! We know You see the pain, we know You see the hurt! But THAT’s why You came... You came to free the Earth! I believe in Your Son, I believe He’s the Vine! You’re the reason for life, You’re the reason I rhyme... Teach us to love, teach us to understand! Stretch out our faith! Like a rubber band... Discipline our hearts, with every beat, help us speak to those who don’t yet know the Son of Man! Lord I’m crying out, though I know You’ll never leave, even when it seems like You’re nowhere to be seen! You’re what we’re looking for, You’re the soul’s quest, AMAZING! You stole my breath Lord! TEACH US TONIGHT! BECAUSE WE’RE SEARCHIN’ FOR THE SON... YOU ARE THE REASON! THOUGH OUR WORLD HAS COME UNDONE , DON’T HIDE AWAY! YOU ARE THE REASON WE ARE HERE, WE NEED YOU WITH US! AND TO GUIDE US AGAIN WITH OUR FEAR! YOU ARE THE REASON... YOU ARE THE REASON! Verse 2: Every day we search, for who we are inside, but we hide it far within so it’s hard to find... Every day’s a journey, a mental expedition, we wanna write our own story through our "pencil" written... So we erase faults, and we erase flaws! We bandage our wounds, with a fake gauze! We thought we erased our sin nature, but we can still see it, ‘cause it was THIN PAPER... We wanna trust You, trust You to BUST THROUGH! Guide us through our fear Lord show us what we must do! In the midst of the trials, in the midst of the rain... In the midst our denial and even in our shame! God! We’re hanging on! We’re barely afloat... We wanna walk on the water, but we’re still in the boat! Give us strength, breathe in us a new breath! The moment is now, the true test! TEACH US TONIGHT! BECAUSE WE’RE SEARCHIN’ FOR THE SON... YOU ARE THE REASON! THOUGH OUR WORLD HAS COME UNDONE , DON’T HIDE AWAY! YOU ARE THE REASON WE ARE HERE, WE NEED YOU WITH US! AND TO GUIDE US AGAIN WITH OUR FEAR! YOU ARE THE REASON... YOU ARE THE REASON! Bridge: Lookin' through the eyes of Love, you know the world may seem a better place, And yet the moment that you realize, there's so much pain before your very eyes... Verse 3: But, regardless of the pain, I can praise Your name ‘Cause I know You’ll remain, Your love will NEVER change! You’re always in my aim, You’re NEVER out of range! God You burn with passion, I WANNA BURN THE SAME! You’re the reason I forgive, the reason I believe, the reason I live, the reason that I even breathe! I know that You kill fear! Father God, You’re the reason that I’m here! TEACH! TEACH US TONIGHT! BECAUSE WE’RE SEARCHIN’ FOR THE SON... YOU ARE THE REASON! THOUGH OUR WORLD HAS COME UNDONE , DON’T HIDE AWAY! YOU ARE THE REASON WE ARE HERE, WE NEED YOU WITH US! AND TO GUIDE US AGAIN WITH OUR FEAR! YOU ARE THE REASON... YOU ARE THE REASON!
