Rapper Jacob Emmanuel illustrates our spiritual needs in three areas...

• 1ST VERSE: DEPRAVITY
• 2ND VERSE: SALVATION
• 3RD VERSE: SANCTIFICATION

lyrics

A. 1ST VERSE: JAKE
It’s like I was a living drone/ willingly doing what I’m a slave to/ cause even my good deeds weren’t in proper display to/ God who used me as a vessel displaying His grace through/ and then I steal His glory like the grace was mine I gave you/ yo I’m fronting like I’m Able with an offering like Cain/ in a drought in need of rain/ and when it came I proclaimed that/ (scratch: I can’t stand the rain) cause looking out from my visions grim yo/ truth be told there’s no one righteous/ looking at our lives just confirms no one is like this/ nah no one is righteous/ there’s none who understand or seek/ for God but yo how can this be/ when God has stamped His name on all creation in the galaxy/ at the fall sin effected all of humanity/ we’re weighed down by our sins and we intend to fight gravity/ we’ll never merit favor with a spirit empty cavity/ we’d all reject the gift if left to us in our depravity
HOOK:
GIRL: show me love
JAKE: cause my heart aches and all I ever get for my trouble is heart break
GIRL: he’s got his hand on the button of
JAKE: my heart and he(the devil) will never let go. No matter how hard I try this world won’t free my soul
GIRL: show enough
JAKE: of my need for You and soften this hard heart to let the light seep through
BRIDGE
JAKE: I didn’t choose you LORD cause that would never be/ my heart would still deny you had you not chosen me. X4


B. 2nd VERS: JAKE
Forgive my imagery/ but every time I speak on the atonement I get chocked up by the blood like I’m hemorrhaging/ cause on the cross it was Him or me/ and aint no way im trusting in my self-righteous inability/ ever since I was born I have been deceived/ I am Adams seed/ and I am so in need/ cause I inherited a debt but couldn’t pay the fee/ this penalty will be the death of me if left to me/ man, sin/ it really made a mess of me/ I thought it was the only thing willing to invest in me/ lies!/ it had me going down my own path/ unsatisfied and roaming through the desert like a nomad/ no one man has all that power/ to atone for his sin in a matter of hours/ unless he’s fully man and fully deity/ but I am not I AM, I am in debt for the sin in me.
2nd HOOK
GIRL: show me love
JAKE: cause my heart aches and all I ever get for my trouble is heart break
GIRL: he’s got his hand on the button of
JAKE: my heart and he(the devil) will never let go. BUT CHRIST, HE CAME DOWN AND HE FREED MY SOUL
GIRL: show enough
JAKE: of my need for You, CAUSE EVERY DAY THIS OLD ME’S TRYING TO SEEP ON THROUGH

C. 3rd VERSE: JAKE
Sometimes the frustrations setting in/ and I’m letting in/ thoughts that remind me of my past like a letterman/ and though I’m dead to them/ I let em run like reverend/ cause these emotions banging on my brain like let me in/ this old heart of me/ longs to be a part of me/ and lobbies me to be my main focus like cardiology/ so when the world pressing all on me/ I gotta ask myself/ Jacob! Are you gone live out your theology?/ well is it all on me?/ nah the wild olive tree was grafted in when they rejected Him/ not heading prophesy/ He wasn’t who they thought he’d be/ and now we see Messiah pierced to a tree/ He died to pay the fee/ there’s no analogy!/ and He resurrected/ and when you believed/ Jesus gave you His Spirit and said, “follow me”/ I gave you all you need/ to grow in grace and knowledge/ and live in obedience even unto death like me/ and now the paraclete (Holy Spirit) enables me to speak praises to my king/ even when I caged in like a parakeet/ so when the worlds screaming let me in/ I gotta choose obedience and bring forth that light like Edison/ the best medicine is killing indwelling sin/ that brings heavenly reverence and keeps us in tune with Him/ the most high/ but most guys rely on they self/ their pride and their wealth/ I tried it and realized in myself/ was my the inability to walk upon the water/ so Spirit take me deeper than my feet could every wander/ supply me with the strength to keep on pressing like I oughtta/ in the presence of my savior, yo my faith is made stronger/ now I spit it for His glory over beats but not before He told me/ open up your mouth and eat this scroll so you could know me/ get it out, dig it out and live it right before me/ now I’m living Coram Deo (in the presence of God) for His honor and His glory.
