lirik lagu gems & slr - greater things (ft. jahaziel)
[verse 1: slr]
among stress in the city
teen mothers no lovers
just s-x in the city
always another young death in the city
many lives lost just to get a rep in the city
was high off the krizzy
almost threw my life away
then the life entered in me
christ is within me
feel like a millionaire
heard every prayer
he was right there with me
devil’s quite tricky
need god’s protection
at times still i’m fleshy
only by grace
into heaven is the entry
no good deed
makes up for what’s messy
nothin’ but a wretch
burden was heavy
days in the world
left my soul weary
the lord helped the load
be easier to carry
must get out the word
use every means necessary
[hook]
greater things are yet to come
greater things are still to be done
in this
city
greater things are yet to come
greater things are still to be done
we believe
we believe in you god
[verse 2: gems]
the ends are deep
the hungry want a plate to eat
the homeless want a place to sleep
crack on a pipe
needles with heroin
tragic abides
the people we’re burryin’
madness in the city
g-ngb-ngers with anger
got trappers in my city
they flare chrome
pillow cases where tears go
kids are placed in a care-home
abused daughters, neglected sons
some face trials think it’s best to run
greater things are yet to come
praise the king and rep the son
and the lord calls
us to go beyond the four walls
and reach the lost
show love and preach the cross
to the harvest
shine your light in the darkness
[verse 2: jahaziel]
i’m from a city where hope’s have been known to disappear
some roam with knives and chrome cause they live in fear
on the corners the poor men are sippin’ beer
beggin’ for change
same pain just a different year
come picture the landscape
kid’s tryin’ bag weight
victims of gang-rape
they flip like a pancake
so arguments end with arms extending piece
but it’s not a handshake
they peel back and the steel clap
some wanna escape but feel trapped
yea this is real rap
gettin’ jobs ain’t easy when you got no cv
just a record but not no cd
that grimey youth used to be me
but christ is the truth
believe
i’m proof you can be free
transformation’s the job at hand
they say we can’t
but my faith’s in a god that can
[outro: gems]
matthew chapter 9
verse 35-38 says
jesus went through all the towns and villages
teaching in their synagogues
preaching the good news of the kingdom
and healing every disease and sickness
when he saw the crowds
he had comp-ssion on them
because they were har-ssed and helpless
like sheep without a shepherd
then he said to his disciples
the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few
ask the lord of the harvest therefore
to send out workers into the harvest field
if you’re listening
there’s a mandate and mission
