Jafet

Used to dream about performing on the teli
Vision fame and confetti
When you think you ready sometimes
God says "hold it, steady"
Too blind to see the lesson of
His good intention that sometimes
Patience is a hidden blessing
These are my confessions need an usher
Or a deacon, temptation all around me
Sunday service barely weakens what I did
This weekend, maybe I'll never get it right
But I can't help but feeling like
He's speaking every verse I write
If you let Him in like a concierge
Check this out He'd carry all this baggage
He's been urging you to quit lugging about
I mean I used to be homeless not a dollar
To my name, now my house right by the Country Club
I'm practicing my swing
How coincidental Don't need a favor cause I've got His
Still sentimental about my dad issues now Ive got kids
Told I was separated since birth to tell
This story so don't say my name
If it ain't for His honor and glory that comes before me

I know this life of mine
It's meaning for something
Meaning for something
All these wounds and scars
These tears I cried
I was bleeding for something
Bleeding for something
You made me a promise and
I see it in my daughters eyes
I just want to make it home
Give her one more kiss goodnight
But if it's my time
I gotta make sure my life
Was meaning for something
Meaning for something

I feel stuck in this prison
This sin has made an incision
A division between the one who had already
Forgiven all my decisions dancing with lust
The flesh wouldn't give in
Smitten by sin and attractions
Told devil split it like fractions, yea
Cuz I'm done with your lies and deceit
You tried to fill my mind up with pride
And conceit but myself I decrease
Control alt delete reboot my whole system
I'm just asking for the wisdom to not fall
In a world so contagious to falling
I just wanna understand my calling
Not afraid of battle, put me on the front line
Long as I still get to see the Son shine
Please don't let me fall in a world so Contagious to falling
I just wanna understand my calling
Not afraid of battle, put me on the front line
Long as I still get to see the Son shine

I know this life of mine
It's meaning for something
Meaning for something
All these wounds and scars
These tears I cried
I was bleeding for something
Bleeding for something
You made me a promise and
I see it in my daughters eyes
I just want to make it home
Give her one more kiss goodnight
But if it's my time
I'ma make sure my life
Was meaning for something
Meaning for something
