Not Your Fathers Christian Rap Part 1

Warning: The following post are straight from the first verse of a rap song.

Look I was born like the rest, from Adam's curse ruined
Straight born into death, with my back turned to Him
The facts are confusing, I'm a wretched man
But He took me, held my hand, and my death was banned
He could have let my sins stay and my transgressions stand
But I've been selected, elected, predestined man
The question stands, look what I do to deserve
To be blessed with His plan, made new, and reserved
Nothing. I was like the rest, born attracted to death
Nah we ain't said it, but its just what all our actions expressed
'Cause although I ain't wanna bother with the Lord He spared me
When I needed a Father, like orphan Annie
He took me in, clothed me in His righteousness
Fed me the fruit of the Spirit, now my life is His
Its all grace, I don't deserve this relationship
'Cause I ain't got nothing to give even my faith was a gift.

-Trip Lee
Grace and Peace,
Stephen
