Lyrics Forever Glory - Phinix

I remember this one Monday,
I decided to take a walk, I saw gunplay
Mass shootings, killings, then I saw a baby
Killed by it's mother, nothing is surprising these days!
I saw a young man crying for his mother
Next to him was a little girl longing for her father
AIDS, rumours of tumours, Cancer.
I saw hurt,
Young boys now fathers,
Girls getting raped.

I saw people that are truthfully in search
Of hope in Godbut fake preachers robbing the church
Marriages, relationships, families broken
Countless miscarriages, fake friendships, abortions.

I saw people getting sick with no hope of healing
A sad feeling, outbreaks getting people bedridden
Corruption being the order of the day
From Illiteracy to bureaucracy
You have to pay your way

Cause the cost of living is ridiculous
I saw people being mocked for believing in Jesus
The flesh having its way
Temptations to fornicate
I saw artists being told their vision is limited in the Church!

I saw a nation cry for redemption
Her children are affiliated with malnourishment
She said "for how long will they call me developing?"
"How long will it take for me to be eloquent?"

But then to my surprise, right before my very eyes
Was a young man with blood on his hands and blood in his mouth.
He looked at me... Immediately, I looked away.
For the same reason I don't like hospitals,
The sight of blood makes me feel some type of way.

I couldn't help but look back,
He was badly bruised, his back couldn't offer him support to stand.
I couldn't stand the sight of his inability.

I asked him what crime he committed to deserve this
And he told me he murdered, lied, stole, fornicated, heresy
Rape, adultery, corruption, blasphemy, only to name a few.

That if I were to count his sins,
It wouldn't take a month to complete,
That made me weak, I could see and feel his defeat.
Then he said, if love was a crime, he would gladly do the time for me.
I was appalled cause he just implied
That he was innocent and I was guilty!

He said, he is but a lamb ready for slaughter,
Bearing the sins of all humanity, me inclusive.
What's a mob to a King?
That mob over there just chose to have a King crucified.
I am about to die.

What mob? I couldn't see any mob,
He said, "the ones listening to this have chosen the world over me
They have chosen to pursue the pleasures of this world over me
Tell them to come out of their iniquities,
I still forgive
My blood covers all their sins,
Tell them I love them still
Tell them Jesus loves them still...
I have given you a message,
Open your eyes and see that which you cannot see.
That which is unseen."

Then I woke up and saw that my heart was on fire
His blood is the fuel that sets my heart on fire

Hey listener,
I see A void within, you're unfulfilled
The burden is heavy, you can't hep but feel
Alone, you're tired, I know.

But you should know that what I saw right before
I saw Him was the world that He died for, today.
You should know that those troubles we
Are going through are only but for a moment,
My head of knowing serving my heart of feeling,
This feeling I'm feeling is revealing this EP in a one-line story
'Our light temporary affliction is
Preparing us for an eternal weight of glory'
