How Long
I question myself yo Flame why are you trying
To live without the Lion of Judah inside you are dying
Not communing with the God of Mount Zion
Can't you see you're denying
The very God they can't break down to a science
I know you're young and you see some things that you think you are missing
Man you tripping you're missing nothing get back on your mission
You followed the flesh next you would wallow in mess
Don't let thinking bout sex throw you back like a you're Mitchell and Ness
Don't get weary in your well-doing
You were doing well until you let your well ruin and
Run dry trying to fulfill them selfish ambitions
Making sinful decisions without repentance leaves only contention
Don't forget you're a professing Christian
Them lyrics you've written they don't mean nothing
Unless they match your living
No one ever received elevation
Dibbling and dabbling and rapping with procrastination
How long has it been
Since we've communicated
Oh Lord I'm tired of sin
It keeps me humiliated
So much sin in the world we in
And I've been regenerated
Oh Lord I need Jesus Jesus Jesus oh how long has it been
I haven't been girded with the full armor
I've deserted your word it turned to nervousness and then full drama
It's better for me to have never known
Than to know the truth and turn back to what is wrong
That's like spewing from my own stomach
Then turning around and eating my own vomit
When I've been made clean and I don't mean Comet
Lord break me abase me make me face holiness
Shake me shape me make me face loneliness
Redeem me rescue this vessel press through
So much just to get next to you it's stressful
It helps to confess my test it's just to bless you
Disconnected I need to connect to you
Where can I go to escape from your presence
You're omnipresent you're present in hell and present in heaven
Plus I'm weary and wounded my theory's consumed in
Iniquity's union my history is sick with influence
How long has it been
Since we've communicated
Oh Lord I'm tired of sin
It keeps me humiliated
So much sin in the world we in
And I've been regenerated
Oh Lord I need Jesus Jesus Jesus oh how long has it been
Lord let these broken bones rejoice in a song
Giving you glory until I get home
Never taking my freedom and overthrow your authority on the throne
Living it holy until I get home
Desperate measures will I take from now on
To stay away from what I'm knowing is wrong
Self control because my suffering is long
No more will I ignore the fact that it's on
Praying until you come back for your own
I'm fearfully and I'm wonderfully made
Elected and affected by your irresistible grace
And Lord that means something
Take my heart and then clean something
Make me mature and help me endure please
Deliver me from the guilt and the filth
Find me on my knees knelt
Down about to put my face to the ground
When I start renewing my mind it'll lessen the times I have to sing
How long has it been
Since we've communicated
Oh Lord I'm tired of sin
It keeps me humiliated
So much sin in the world we in
And I've been regenerated
Oh Lord I need Jesus Jesus Jesus oh
How long has it been
Since we've communicated
Oh Lord I'm tired of sin
It keeps me humiliated
So much sin in the world we in
And I've been regenerated
Oh Lord I need Jesus Jesus
