HEATHEN by Rock Wright Lyrics
All my life I’ve was a heathen
Straight up out the mud The Word got me believing
All my life I’ve was a heathen
Straight up out the mud The Word got me believing
On that cross he was bleeding
They asked what was his wrong
It was them scriptures he was preaching
So many say that they believe in him
Bet if he came back now, y’all would be the same ones beating him
People this is spiritual warfare that’s gearing up
Nation against nation, kingdom's armies out here building up
I ain’t even tripping though, all of this been prophesied
I love not my life, tell em I ain’t scared to die
These the end times
If you ain’t got a relationship with the Father
This is a warning, you bout out of time
Thus sayeth the Most High, too many are out of line
We’re approaching tribulations, where your faith is gonna be a crime
Like the living Book of Eli, they’ve been planning genocide
To wage war against the saints to cuz they can’t touch the Most High
Stay in the Word to draw nigh your light
And pray to YAH it’ll be alright, alright
Come on
All my life I’ve was a heathen
Straight up out the mud The Word got me believing
All my life I’ve was a heathen
Straight up out the mud The Word got me believing
Yeah dat!
Whatever YAH needs I’ll take care of that
Preparing for eternity, cuz really ain’t no coming back
All my life I’ve been a heathen I’m aware of that
Trying to right my wrongs, so that cross I will bear that
I had to crawl up out that mud
Them Southside trenches
Where you can't show love
And you bet not be a witness
You know it's on me right now
Cuz some things will never change
Only way I hold on is by calling on His name
The storm was always raging
Had my heart racing
He called me out into that water
So I had to go
Turned my back on who I was
And everything I know
I sacrifice it all
Burnt the bridges where I'm standing on
Just so you can know how much I'm really on it
I've been praying for my soul
Putting my flesh inside a vice grip
Stacking my precepts so I don't slip
I wake up in the morning and I gotta choose
So I'm screaming out YAHWEH and then I light a fuse
If you seeking out the kingdom, gotta know the rules
So I'm sticking with the law, that's all I can do
Yeah
All my life I’ve was a heathen
Straight up out the mud The Word got me believing
All my life I’ve was a heathen
Straight up out the mud The Word got me believing
Yeah dat!
Whatever YAH needs I’ll take care of that
Preparing for eternity, cuz really ain’t no coming back
All my life I’ve been a heathen I’m aware of that
Trying to right my wrongs, so that cross I will bear that
Straight up out the mud The Word got me believing
All my life I’ve was a heathen
Straight up out the mud The Word got me believing
On that cross he was bleeding
They asked what was his wrong
It was them scriptures he was preaching
So many say that they believe in him
