Christcentric Cliches Lyrics

Hook:
These days in the church the things we say/
You see are nothing but clichés we play/
Like a DJ with a mixer/
Because it lacks sincerity whenever we quote scripture!

Verse 1:
I can do all things through Christ/
That strengthens me, what about the walk in your life/
See your talking is right, but when we place it under the light/
It don't cut it like a fork and a knife/
That's when Paul was in strife or blessings was sent/
In any situation he would be content/
It ain't about achieving your goals/
We've been told it's about trusting God 'cause He's in control/
When asked how you're doing you reply "I'm blessed"/
Are you invincible with a principle that's timeless/
I'm in hot pursuit it's not the truth and I'm vexed/
We need to watch what we say like a Timex/
Read the book like Nynex, then call/
On the Lord for repentance of your lies and all/
It's the rise and fall of facades for God/
There's a whole lot of members on that squad it's odd/
What's the deal? Let's see what's right for real/
Often your coughing and saying "by His stripes you're healed"/
We love it 'cause it's appealing/
Is that the kind of God that we're called to praise/
Double minded and unstable in all his ways/
The Lord is flawed? I think not/
Sometimes it's hard to get the misunderstandings out like an inkspot/
He healed us from the separation that sin caused/
To give the gift of life like Santa Claus/
Not by works really its silly/
Getting awarded for something we ain't do like Milli Vanilli/
And some of y'all might make a stink about that/
Instead of taking time to really think about that/
I'm not trying to get you upset/
You can bet this is in love like Romeo to Juliet.

Hook:

Verse 2:
I hate when the church is making it worse/
Teaching sin as being a generational curse/
This upsets me, check the scriptures let's see/
If it affects your next generation like Pepsi/
They won't fall for this trap if they've seen/
We're clean in Ezekiel Chapter 18/
Sin the souls don't keep from the older peeps/
There's no mystique, but what a man sows he reaps/
It's a shame some saints with sin sick frames/
Claim that it's demons that inflict pain/
The devil's scheming bothers me, follow me?
But that don't mean all trouble's demonology/
Stop falsifying, they lost to Zion /
And failed when they were nailed to the cross' awesome triumph/
Their power to devour stopped when He's hung/
No need for screaming at demons at the top of our lungs/
We persist with energy when we shout/
We miss if we resist the enemy he shall flee/
Submit to the Lord, come equipped with the sword/
And know victory-it's a__ured/
Understanding the facts you won't panic and act/
Like you can't relax these ain't satanic attacks/
Your body is the temple of god-no mistaking/
Don't fear it the Holy Spirit must be overtaken/
First bind the strong man, devour up your labor/
But can a creature overpower the Creator/
Does this sour up your data/
Against all that's in the world, in you the power of Him's greater!

Hook:

Verse 3:
I kind of find it amusing/
We teach demons confined by binding and loosing/
He's bound but he be back/
That sneaky cat must've pulled a whodini act/
Trying to confuse the brethren, ask yourself this question/
Are there demons running loose in heaven/
'Cause what's bound there is loosed here/
Doesn't sound like it's too clear/
If it's bound here and loosed there/
It's worth listening to the context of the text/
Authority and church discipline/
It's puzzling to me, that Jesus will be/
In the midst of 2 or 3 that touch and agree/
Does it make sense? Odd 'cause it doesn't/
If the Scriptures teach and preach that God's omnipresent/
Really it's dealing with 2 or 3 witnesses to witness it/
And He'll be right there in the midst of it/
Settle differences when the result of truth is doubtful/
It's safe in the multitude of counsels/
Speak things that be not as though they were/
Like we can make those occur, you know we err/
'Cause this quote refers to divine attributes/
Yeah it's Scripture but we only spitting half the truth/
The problem is Scripture's positive/
Only God can give life that's not man's operative prerogative.
