Can somebody turn up heat? My heart was getting colder
Can’t lie, look into my eyes, Lord I need your shoulder
I need different results, so I’m going to go a new way
Open the eyes of my heart because I can’t always go by what my lips say
And it’s a new day, yet my feet are in rewind
Doing the same thing, looking for different results? I’ve lost my mind
I’m in search of the cross; I saw the bill, I know the cost
If I’m to have the same mind as Jesus, then I pray that my mind stays lost
Yes lost in you, until I’m made brand new
I held myself prisoner until I read Romans 8: 1-2
I know there is purpose and a calling on my life
The enemy knows that too, that’s why he wanted me to stay away from the light
But I gotta walk toward the Christ, because he is my goal
He’s calling me higher, yet I continued to put Him on hold
And in the process my fire died until it was practically gone with the wind
I wanted to end the relationship like, “I don’t need you as a friend.”
And the sad part about it is I didn’t want to admit the reality of the danger
The danger lies in God saying, “Depart from me, you’re a stranger.”
And who am I to live a life that kindles God’s anger?
Breathe life back into me Lord, I feel like I’m being strangled
The taste of this life is nasty; I tried just sipping from this cup
The more I sip, the more gets poured, but you told me to drink it up
For so long I declared that I was called to go global
Then you brought me back and said, “Well, first try going local.
I’ve placed you in Jerusalem, to be a light to your friends and fam.
I’m humbling you before you’re exalted, so count it humbling to exalt the Lamb
My ways are not yours; my thoughts are beyond finding out
My plans are established even before coming from my mouth
So don’t you think I know the plans that I have for you?
Before you can come out, you have to first learn how to get through.”
It’s snowing outside, but I’m thankful for the sign that was sent
I know you’re in this storm with me, I just saw your footprints…
Broken Whole,
