Go Slow

VERSE 1: Wait listen up I got something to say, this for the saints who just come to the faith / oh you jump in the race, know this ain't a sprint, this a marathon so we gotta run at a pace / know you young, you anxious, you wanna be great / but let's start with the basics before we engage / know that we at war in this holy brigade, gotta train like soldiers before we invade / sword on my waist, holding it boldly, the Lord in His grace and His wonderful ways / He who numbers the days, got em numb to the taste, just a tip of the iceberg, crumb from the cake / I risk it for Christ, Church the promise I madе / like Atlas I shoulder the wеight of the world and I know what's at stake / I know what it takes, sometimes you gotta pump on the brakes /

VERSE 2: I seen a lot of new saints enter the church, equipped with a sense to do work / into missions they busy at first, then they drift like a rift in a current, a mystery the switch that occurs / begin with a verse, swift and intense to reverse, it's like they disappear from the earth / sort of like the story of the sower, spread seeds and the vultures came in the midst and emerged / risk is absurd, sick and it hurts, why don't we set our tents where the gift can be heard / instead we plant on rocky ground and let the world come and chop us down just as quick as the birth / we're missing the worth, and it's an emergency, Christians submerged, this is berserk to me / and the Scriptures and word get kicked to the dirt man you don't need eyes to see you need to slow down /

VERSE 3: Whoa said you gotta go slow, that's been the attitude since back in '04 / that's when Matt told me bout the Lord's goals and how it's gone go and asked me what'll happen if the rapping don't blow / would I have the same passion for souls as Christ if the cash didn't flow and we ain't pack no shows / I'm like of course, that's my natural thought, you already know that I'mma carry my cross / and like most somehow it got lost in the shuffle like a deck of cards / when we expect results and forget to add the Lord to the equation, man we won't get too far we gotta slow down /
