My first fully completed rap! Yay!
Verse 1:
So what’d you come out to see? And does it make sense?
A reed shaken by the wind or a man in soft garments?
A prophet? Yes, I say more than a prophet,
Behold, I send my messenger, and Satan can’t stop it.
For of those born of women there’s none greater you see,
But the least in the Kingdom is greater than he.
For all of the prophets prophesied until this man, John,
And if you’re willing to receive it, (he’s) the Elijah to come.
For as forerunners we have a mighty weapon,
It’s called gettin’ on our knees and makin’ intercession.
Together we cry out to the great I AM,
And in one voice we’re a corporate battering ram.
We the violent don’t rest, give the demons no peace,
We keep on runnin’ while we pray and don’t cease.
Puttin’ on the armor of God, we’re makin’ war on sin,
We be shutin’ doors that no man can open.
Chorus:
From the days of John the Baptist until now,
The Kingdom suffers violence and this is how:
Take the sword of the Spirit into battle and cry,
We be makin’ intercession ‘til He splits the sky.
Verse 2:
Being filled with Holy Spirit even from birth,
John was one of the happiest men walkin’ the earth.
After much prayer and fasting one can assume,
The only title he wanted was "Friend of the Bridegroom."
Comin’ out from the desert, he had a message to preach,
And sayin’ he was radical ain't a figure of speech.
While preparin’ the way, he called all men to rejoice,
John wasn’t just an echo, he was a voice.
While sent to bear witness to the light within,
He ate all the locusts and wore camel skin.
So different from all others livin’ in that day,
John’s source of joy came another way.
He came cryin’ out from the desert place,
"Prepare the way of the Lord" and seek His face.
Throughout his ministry, God’s drum he came drummin’,
People get ready, Jesus is comin’!
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
Jesus said we should pray and not lose heart,
Fightin’ distraction and fatigue, now that’s the hard part.
So we keep prayin’ in tongues, callin’ on that reservoir,
It’s speakin’ mysteries, but it’s not that bizarre.
So as we draw near to the end of the age,
God’s raisin’ up His prayer rooms, He’s settin’ the stage.
He’s got the whole thing planned, so have no fear,
He who has ears, let him hear!
As burning and shinning lamps in our generation,
We keep on contendin’ for revival in our nation.
We try to flee all sin, keep our bodies full of light,
In other words, livin’ now is truly a fight.
Though others might consider how we live an obscurity,
We’re called to pursue lives of holiness and purity.
While radically confrontin’ all that this world can scream,
We forerunners might as well be swimmin’ upstream.
(Chorus—2x)
Whattya think??
