Consciousness

It's a stream of consciousness, my conscience is The thing that keeps me tethered, and not obnoxious It's a product of the Spirit within, that's where it begins He's in my heart and on my skin, in my eyes and my chin Yo it's a stream of consciousness, my conscience is The thing that keeps me tethered, and not obnoxious It's a product of the Spirit within, that's where it begins He's in my heart and on my skin, in my eyes and my chin, I'm saying It's the Imago Dei that I'm displaying I keep you thinking while the beat it keeps yo body swayin Through the vicissitudes of life, my body's decaying So I gotta get these verses off, patna, ain't no delaying I mean it's, clear as day when you read in Ephesians Every spiritual blessing's available in every season So I can keep believin' and I don't have to panic I try to keep my disciplines goin' so it's automatic But is it automatic? Well, that's the thing Not exactly, all kinda things, try to distract me It's never easy to stay focused on the fact He created everything and always will have my back But that's a code I gotta crack, it's not God that's the problem He keeps my path lit, like I got a candelabrum Gotta keep pushing left and right like a slalom Before my issues stack up too high like a column And on and on, can't pretend I'm feelin' fine If I don't call on Him I might just pull a Columbine That's not a threat it's a statement of human nature Change is slow like a glacier, regardless of your nomenclature All things are possible with God, but I gotta do the work If I don't then I'm fraud, and I come off like a jerk But if so don't applaud it's not a temperamental quirk My words might be eloquent, but my ego is delicate God's blessings are decadent, but the landscape is desolate Which adds to my detriment, destruction is eminent I meant to say imminent, my vocab's my instrument I gotta be militant, to break my imprisonment There's manna, it's heaven-sent, give thanks it's good etiquette Good manners are relevant, to being affectionate The Spirit's benevolent, with holy accelerant Forgives my embezzlement and promotes my development Reduces my deficit, at least that's my estimate From what seems evident in the old and new testaments My prerequisite is fundamental, staying Strapped with truth like John Wick in the Continental Truth in the mental, is always monumental Use caution when you use it, don't abuse it like a rental God is more than creation, meditation transcendental He's personal and gentle, feeds you with beans and lentils And tells you if need some rest then come to me I got everything you need, playa, it's not a fantasy If you need amnesty, please, just believe The gospel's not a bait and switch, don't be deceived It's a stream of consciousness, my conscience is The thing that keeps me tethered, and not obnoxious It's a product of the Spirit within, that's where it begins He's in my heart and on my skin, in my eyes and my chin, for real Don't miss out on this amazing meal Isaiah 55 I'm telling you it's a crazy deal Jesus came to give you peace and leave your body still And when you put on the armor, your body is steel To defend it from the enemy who steals and kills But he does it so slick, looks like he seals the deal By distracting you with the wheels on a Coupe DeVille And make you feel so surreal, but the danger's concealed Cause ain't no automobile is worth more than your soul When you trust in material things, you lose control It's a predicament that we all gotta manage How to put your trust in Jesus without chasin' the cabbage And we defend the wealthy but our arguments are feeble It's easier putting a camel through the eye of a needle We preach on purity and we moralize on modesty But the Bible speaks more on money than sex, be honest B It's easier to attack a problem you ain't strugglin' with And point out an enemy you can huddle against But the way of Jesus demands we get off the fence And build an upside down kingdom so shalom can commence It's not a cinch I remain convinced Nothing can separate us from His love it just don't exist Neither height nor depth nor life nor death'll do it Whatever we encounter, God'll carry us through it Satan thought he won, during the crucifixion But Jesus was obedient and remained in submission To the Father's vision, universal redemption To bring salvation to every nation without exemption So pay attention, use comprehension Join the work of God in the faith dimension Not the fifth or sixth, 'cause those are a myth Jesus is Morpheus, our enemies are all Agent Smith That means we all get to be The One 'Cause down the rabbit hole you travel your adventure's begun And only slightly less difficult, than not chasin' the cake Is writin' these lyrics and droppin' 'em all in one take It's a stream of consciousness, my conscience is The thing that keeps me tethered, and not obnoxious It's a product of the Spirit within, that's where it begins He's in my heart and on my skin, in my eyes and my chin It's a stream of consciousness, my conscience is The thing that keeps me tethered, and not obnoxious It's a product of the Spirit within, that's where it begins He's in my heart and on my skin, in my eyes and my chin, let's go
