Lyrics Why Bother - Con

Ya
They asking why you even bother?
What's the point of more theology huh?
If I wanna hear bout that I'll go listen to Washer
Or maybe Sproul
Well I appreciate the honesty but
Honestly
I feel we've left out theology proper
I'm just some clay trying to show the potter
Not a scholar
I'm just here on display
Like a couple words on the page
I just pray that you can see the author
The Father of lights
Ya
If you looking you could peep it in the book of James
He came and changed my impoverished life
Irresistibly drawn cuz it was his sovereign right
And he ain't have to turn around and try to ask for permission
He was active
I was passive
Soul was happy imprisoned
Used to love the casket
Now my soul is gladly arisen
Changed my heart of stone to flesh
That's a lasting incision
But what's that got to do with you huh?
Or a project like this one
Cats be screaming "we already got the truth son"
They just hoping that I would spit sum'n
Im trying to stir you by way of reminder ya
Cuz it's right as long as I'm in this body homie
Divinely designed
But point to the designer
Providing the provider
And praying that ain't nobody on me
Tell em to get their mind right
He is infinite
Your homie here is finite
He's the high life
One look will blind your eye sight
Highlight
Found in him
So I could behold the limelight
But let's get right to the topic
Are the issues that serious?
They seem so microscopic
Don't you think it's blown a little out of proportion
A little bit less important than dividing over doctrine
No
It sounds dramatic at first
Don't brush it off as nothing more than a passionate verse
Say I'm erratic
A fanatic
While over half are dispersed and can't tell the
Difference between a Protestant and Catholic Church
We went from battling pressure
To abandoning the system now we're branded as lesser
But what we gained was far better
A compassionate treasure
But some demand that we recant and start banding together
Man
For the sake of the culture
I guarantee that this'll be viewed as hostile
But what do doves have to do with the vultures huh?
Or the body of Christ with another gospel
Paul said to let that man be accursed
I ain't the type of guy to turn and disagree with the Apostles
Catholicism claimed to handle him first
But all their unbiblical doctrines present to us a problem
They claim tradition was known
But church history can show it was additional though
We all seem to go through different transitional flows
That's why the foundation for us must be scripture alone
In every matter regarding our faith and practice
And Jesus Christ alone is our way of access
Not by our works
But faith alone
We ain't deserve a second chance
It's by grace alone
And that's what sets us apart
But let's go deeper for a minute
Chin up
And I hope your listening
It was never bout necessity of grace
We both affirm that truth
It's all about the sufficiency
That there is what displaced the church
Cuz is it grace alone
Or is it grace plus works
Is it faith alone
Or is it faith plus merit
They claim a treasury of that
You gotta pray that they'll share it
But in the end we see that glory is robbed
The sum of everything we hold is for the glory of God
Alone
In the end we see that glory is robbed
The sum of everything we hold is for the glory of God
