LYRYCYST - All In Vain lyrics

rate me

I gave my life up to the one who's in heaven

Never thought that it would change me so much

I was ready to bust

I had a knife against my wrist, I was ready to cut

But I guess something inside me wasn't ready enough

I ran to the church to escape from it all

He walked around me seven times and brought down all my walls

Made me realize the living I'm doing was all alone

He gave me shelter and advice, then He said welcome home

It began, I started as a sheep in the wolves

But I had fire up inside me so I reached for the tools

A couple beats and a pen, what could stop me now

I didn't know the devil was about to strike me down

Released my first disk "broken chains" and feld

So on a daily I was selling so their spirits were fed

But I was losing all the touch, fell in lust and sex

I was falling, reaching out, tell me what will happen next

Never give up, Steven you better get up

Even when stuck in a rut, breathe in and take up your cup

No matter your luck, beat in the door with a rush

Read into God and erupt, and you will see what is up

So I'm stuck between the pulling of both

Committing sin and still relying on the vision of hope

How do I cope with the struggle of a powerful force

I know the stakes, but seem to think about it when it's really too late

So I started skipping church and I started getting greedy

I'll be honest with ya', being a christian just isn't easy

But it's something I am needing, yes it's something I can have

I just gotta get my life in order, reach and get a grasp

It's the meaning of our life, so get ready for your trip

Know not everybody's perfect and a lot of times you'll slip

But you gotta keep your faith, take a lesson from a man

Who watched eternal life start slipping out his hands

So I ask, God forgive me for the things I've done

I won't be pressured by the pain though the rain will come

I'll keep your name a holy grace, and the head of my life

I won't let it be in vain, I'm a end it with a fight

Right beside you, let me be the one that you took

Give me a chance to prove that I am more than a hook

More than a song or a verse, there's a person in the midst

Let me fix what I've missed, if I slip, quick this is it

No longer falling, wanna walk with the Son

So keep my eyes on every demon and keep breath in my lungs

I feel eternal but I'm mortal, 'till I'm taken away

I won't end up like the others, I can't handle the pain

I was shown the bitter death of myself

And if I didn't take a stand and fight forever, I'd be crying for help

No longer striving to sell, no longer trying to tell

But since the devil's working steady tryin' to drive me to hell

You better take me to the gates, I feel ready to blow

But I know that I got work to finish before I go

Unload it through the music and disciple on the beat

And try to get the people saved that be thuggin' in the streets

Defeat will never touch me, I gotta succeed

And keep a stable seat with Christ, I'm down on my knees

Showing my love for him, thank you for the mercy you gave

'cause if you didn't, on the real, I'd no longer be saved

I love you
