For Today- Talmidim (The Servants)

I've been busy, which is why I haven't been posting in a while. Anyway, here are the lyrics to a song that my friend showed me. He said it was the reason he got "Ezekiel 36:26-28" tattooed on his arm. I listened to it. It is very encouraging.  For those that know For Today, you will know that they are a metal band. However, this song is a mix of singing and spoken word, and is not even remotely aggressive.

Lord of glory, make us worthy to possess your name. Lord of glory, make us worthy to possess your name.
And give us a new name. And call us your people, God. And give us a new name.

[Ezekiel 36:26-28] – “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you;
I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.
You will live in the land I gave to your forefathers; you will be my people and I will be your God.”

Lord of glory, make us worthy to possess your name.
Lord of glory, make us worthy to possess your name.
And give us a new name. And call us your people, God. And give us a new name.

And through all of this, there is nothing, absolutely nothing, no fear, no
insecurity, no doubt, no hesitation that will ever, ever stop us. Because we
are the sons of the living God, because we are the children of the Almighty,
because we are the residents of the kingdom of heaven, and we are soldiers in
an army of the immortal. And when we speak life, life happens, and when we
speak healing, healing happens, and when we speak truth, truth happens. And
when we go take what we found to a dead world, we'll see it come to life again,
and when we take what we found to a hopeless world, we'll see hope come back.
We'll see the heart of our world start beating again, and we'll see the color
come back into people's faces. Absolutely nothing will ever stop that.
Mountains will move before us, and oceans will part before us, and the dead
will raise before us. And the world will know that our God is the God that
heals, and our God is a God that lives, and our God is a God that loves, and
like anything that anyone has ever felt before, because we are fearless, and
because we are His hands, and because we are His feet. Forever, and ever.

Lord of glory, make us worthy to possess your name. [x6]

Restoration is here.

Polluted Mind, Dirty Heart

I once was lost, why's it hard to forgive?
I once was dead, so why can't I let others live?
Instead I kill em through bitterness or maybe with hate.
In my heart they are dead, but are they really too late?
Even if they don't see it, inside I judge
Them by their past, & I hold a grudge.
And sometimes by their present, but I don't do nothing.
So I ask myself, am I really loving?
What good is it if I only think less of them,
But I don't help myself or any of em?
Is that the love of God beating in my heart?
I gotta get it flowing in arteries, then I can start
To walk like Christ, & think like Him, too.
That can be very difficult to do.
You know what I'm talking bout don't you act like you don't.
When you're pointing at that one person who's smoking a joint.
None of us are blameless so don't elevate yourself.
Instead of hating on others why not try to give em help?
Help. That's what I need.
Cuz lately I haven't been sowing seed.
'Cept, for that seed of hate growing in me.
After God's own heart is something hard to be.

Chorus
I shouldn't hate or I'm walking in the dark.
Instead I should let love be m spark.
I said, I shouldn't hate or I'm walking in the dark.
But it's really hard to ignite that spark.

I think I think I'm better than you.
I know I know that that ain't true.
Big lie is, I'm a perfect child.
Truth is, we're all raised in the wild.
And raised to be wild, our planet is wack.
That's a different story tho, let's not get off track.
Not that irrelevant, cuz point is, I'm a sinner like yourself.
We have both been affected, we got issues with our health.
So to point your speck when I got one, too?
That's wack, I have no right to hate on you.
Only God does, & yet He loves us all.
If that's the case then I should love you even when you fall.
We all make mistakes, I'm no exception.
It's just that sometimes I got a messed up perception
That I'm really more favored, and you are not.
But we all have an equal chance from sin to be bought!

Reality (Save Our Souls)

This has not yet been released to the public until now. It is not meant to come off as hateful. For ALL have sinned. That includes me. I'm not better than y'all. Rather, I am worried for you, and want you to find the remedy.

You’ve got a condition and you’re melting away.

No wizard can cure it, it’s here to stay.

You’re a slave to it, got you tied up in a rope.

And yet it’s your painkiller to help you cope.

Some of you rely on dope & it’s killing you.

Cuz you gotta be dope to fit in with the crew.

You fit in with peeps you hate just to prove a point.

You lose another day as you smoke that joint.

Then there are joints, a club chain.

Seeing those ladies just clubs away the pain.

But after you feast you’ll be hungry again.

My question to you is, what do you do then?

We don’t live on bread alone.

Cuz when it gets stale it’ll be like a stone.

You are what you eat so your heart becomes hard.

You take it out at the casino playing cards.

Life dealt them cards, you say it’s unfair.

So you make the best of life, living without a care.

Care not, for others, cuz you feel high in the sky.

Too high to see others so you just pass them by.

You feel so good as you drink through your pain.

But you’re really only pouring your life down the drain.

Life’s one big party, let’s start a rave.

Listen dawg, you need to be saved.

Chorus

Every time you get up runnin' you're lost in this world.
No time for the gospel, can't hear the word.
Feelin' so empty as you count your time.
The world's fading quickly,
But what will you do when you die?

V2- Life’s not fair? I agree, we got grace and mercy.

Loved unconditionally and we’re undeserving.

Yet they say you live once, so get rich quick.

Them greenbacks are quickly making me sick.

And that’s sick, if you worship something man made.

Is your worth the one thing you’re willing to degrade?

Depraved is your mind, and it is starving.

It has no knowledge but your head’s enlarging.

On top of the world, the people, your pawns like bait.

But when you face the king, there won’t be no checkmate.

Check this, you check every cheque you write.

Make sure the amount that was transferred is right.

Can’t lose a penny or you’ll lose your time.

Time’s running out, your soul ain't saved by dimes.

That stack of money will blow over real soon.

At the gates no one care if you were a tycoon.

Media lies to get an expected reaction.

Buy this, try that, to cover satisfaction.

But once you do you ain't satisfied.

Still your reaction is the same, tho the media lied.

You say you’re so boss, but the world is your boss.

Listen dawg, there’s freedom at the cross.

Chorus

V3- We live in an age where Christ’s name is used for swearing.

And all over our bodies it’s profanity we’re wearing.

We’re worn, and we’re torn, apart by each other.

Armies rage war, brothers fight brothers.

We ain't bros tho, I’m a child of God.

But don’t get enraged, I’m not saying I ain't flawed.

So I watch the world, there’s trafficking for sex.

Some of y’all blind, don’t know what really happens next.

But your eyes are open when u watch them in porn.

It’s like A.D.I.D.A.S, I’m talking Korn.

Cheat on your wife? This ain't a test!

You go to uncharted areas like you’re on some sort of quest.

Well search this: is this really your life?

A pretty masquerade that only causes you strife?

One day you’ll be unmasked, & the whole world will see.

Just who you really turn out to be.

Don’t wait for that day.

Chorus
