Flame Album

Man my heart is heavy, I feel a lot of pain
It's been awhile now, since ya'll done heard from Flame
But God has been rocking your boy
But at the same time, I see Satan's plot to destroy
And I know I ain't the only one
For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son
And Satan tried to knock Him too
But when they knocked the nails in His hands Colossians 2
And 15; but yet I still see a common theme
That's plaguing adults, and it's plaguing the teens
When Jesus died, He did more than just give us some help
So help me understand why we still living for self
We live for our families, For our money and cars
We live for our happiness, cause our pleasure is lord
But ain't we seen yet, that that just doesn't work
Living for self can only lead to dozens of hurts
Please hear my heart, like a stethoscope
We're taking steps towards death, but looking for hope
Because we were captured by sin
We were seized, now we need to be captured again
(Uh) That's why we need to pick them scriptures up
Start praying and fasting, And ask the Father to forgive us of
Forgive us for laziness, Forgive us Lord for our pride
Forgive us for worldliness, Forgive us cleanse us inside
Cleanse us Lord from telling lies, Cleanse us from our selfishness
Cleanse us from our fear of man; We need more than help from this
We confess our lack of love, We confess selfish ambition
We confess to You our lust, Oh Lord bring us to repentance...

See we were captured by sin
We were seized, Now we need to be captured again
And captured again. And captured again. And captured again. And captured again

Chorus:
I'm never gonna run away, away from You
I open up my heart to You
I'm Yours
I'm pulling out my flag
and I, I surrender
anchor of my ship
You can hold me down
I'm never going to run
No
I'm never going to run

Verse 1:
I'm never going to run
I am truly convinced
that Your ways are better
I'm not on the fence
who distributes joy
who sets the soul free
who can forgive sin
who died for me
yes it's true that Ive been captured by Your love
I've been captured by Your grace
I've been covered by Your blood
I was lost but now Im found
yes it's true You hold me
Jesus here's my white flag
I surrender right now

Chorus

Verse 2:
How can I run away
or go take a hiatus
when the decedent of David has proven He is the greatest
you see He mediates
He is the mediator
Now I am so free
what a sweet savior

Verse 3:
I found a real love
and He is my ransom
not going to escape
I'm going to stay
I'm captured yeah
but I'm so free
and I finally know that I'm where I'm suppose to be
so I raise my hands
I get on my knees
because there is nothing like the day the Spirit captured me
and there is no one greater
I surrender I don't need another savior
I'm never going to run

Bridge:
My ship was a wreck
I couldnt pay the debt
and I lost all my treasure
so I hit the deck
when I saw Your banner I knew Id never run and I'm staying forever
I'm never going to run
No

Chorus

Jesus here's my white flag
I surrender right now

Chorus:
He got power man/You ain’t never seen it like this
He got power man/His words make the world exist
He got power man/He can turn your situation ‘round
I’ve seen Him do it/do it/do it/do it/do it

Verse 1:
I’ve seen the Lord do a lot of things in my day
Time after time/He blows my mind and He blows my faith
I like to read/And see what He’s done in the past
He can do in the present/If His people would ask
I’ve seen Him shut a whole strip down
Full of strip clubs/Now the dude’s a Christian now
Wow/Now that’s power like you’ve never seen
How He dug in the man/And made his soul clean
Oh/I’ve even seen Him heal a broken home
Couple couldn’t get along/Now you be like/Get a room
Man/I’m so impressed with His slate
I want to trust Him more and more/And strengthen my faith
Yes/I hope you know it’s true/All power’s in God’s hands
What can’t you make it through/The proof is the Godman
Nobody took His life/But Jesus He laid it down
And three days later/Yes, He popped outta the ground

Chorus:
He got power man/You ain’t never seen it like this
He got power man/His words make the world exist
He got power man/He can turn your situation ‘round
I’ve seen Him do it/do it/do it/do it/do it

Verse 2:
Now for the record/We’re talking about Almighty God
Please don’t forget/What He did with Moses’ rod
Please don’t forget/When He split the Red Sea
What is a light bill/Or a deadly disease
What is a marriage problem/Or one that’s on the rocks
To the One who speaks to storms/And storms stop
To the One who got Lazarus outta the grave/Not after one, but two, three, four days
He is the Life/And the Resurrection
You give Him your filth/And get His perfection
I’m trying to get you to see/If He can save a soul
Defeat Satan and sin/All else is micro
And if He chooses to not grant a request
It’s not because He lacks power/But He’s seeking our best
It’s not because He lacks strength/But He’s seeking our good
Now go and walk through that trial/Like Jesus would

Chorus:
He got power man/You ain’t never seen it like this
He got power man/His words make the world exist
He got power man/He can turn your situation ‘round
I’ve seen Him do it/do it/do it/do it/do it

Verse 3:
I know some people in my hood/That’s been struggling with some things
They’ve been addicted for so long/They don’t think that they can change
Then I tell them about Jesus/And how He can set them free
But they choose to stay away/Man now that’s just unbelief
But He’s worthy to be trusted/He’s a keeper of His word
But it’s either you don’t believe in Jesus/Or that’s just scared
Now what your scared of/You shouldn’t be scared of your sin
And not trusting in His name/That’s the danger you’re in
But you ain’t gotta stay that way/You can pray and confess
Live a/Life of repentance/Receive Jesus’ best
Himself/His love/His grace/His power
Give you strength in the darkest hour/So you won’t be devoured
Give you strength against temptation/Because He’s stronger than sin
He’s much stronger/Than your corruption/Erupting within
He’s much strong/Than your addiction to sex or a drug
To alcohol/Or a club
Homie/That’s what He does

Chorus:
He got power man/You ain’t never seen it like this
He got power man/His words make the world exist
He got power man/He can turn your situation ‘round
I’ve seen Him do it/do it/do it/do it/do it

Yeah...uhh

I just want to talk to you for a minute man/
See I want you to know what God has done in my life/ and I want you to know that he can do the same thing for you/ Talk to Him/ The LORD has spared me from a lot of different things man/ Listen

Remember it like it was yesterday
Had to get up out my school
cause them dudes they ran up and they lookin for me with them ???
the principal didn't even trip
security didn't trip
so I had to secure my safety makin me have to dip
so I hit that highway takin 70 to 55
Heading off to South County now
from the hood that's a long drive
Now I'm at this new school ready to study and drink
Hopin somebody would trip, ready to bloody a fist
but that's just orientation, so I'm gonna slow my roll
plus I see this girl I like and hopin I get to know
so we hit the whip again, now we head back to the hood
but I got this feeling we ain't chilling it ain't nothing good
then I see this truck on our side like its 'bout to pass
but I look up and guess what? we about to crash
next we collide, 'bout to die, I can't even yell, only thing I'm thinking is I'm about to go to heaven

Hook:
Jesus snatched me out death, see it was 1999
I ain't livin for myself I'm realizing I ain't mine
I'm alive (4x)
(2x)

Verse 2:
Me and my white kicks hit the road, hop to the whip to get to Saint Lou
we didn't know what was 'bout to unfold
what up? tell it, everything cool
so we ridin down the highway, right
what's the time of the day? Night
everything is ok, right
plus we make time to pray, nice
Then we get to the STL
drop my wife off to get some Z's
pop the kickin with Json and Stefan and ??
we decide to walk through the store
it's four of us so we know we cool
then we seein this car passin us by stoppin it made a U (ahhh)
Json like man who's this trip?
Man you trippin let's just proceed
all the way back from the store we smell the smoke of the potent weed
but ain't nobody out until we hear that voice tell us "stay there"
????? 5's, 9's, get on the ground
now we see them barrels wavin, life flash before our eyes
if his finger slip all 4 of us is moving on
all I'm thinking is LORD if this is how the story goes I'll be fine cause in '99 Jesus saved my soul

Hook

Everything I did then I was tripping off of people
I was living for my friends but my hear was really evil
I was worshiping my money, I was worshiping my shoes, wasn't thinking about my soul, worshiping girls in the school
I was living for myself like I was stuck in a rut
and I couldn't get up like I was cut in the gut
I was bleeding from my side and I didn't wanna fix the wound
You see I thought I was alive, I was chilling in my crew
I was holding on to sin like it was my baby daughter
baby boy, I was deceived it was leading me to the slaughter
wasn't thinking about Jesus, wasn't thinking about the curse, wasn't thinkin bout the fall, wasn't thinking about this verse
I was thinkin bout nothing but myself in those days
what it took Jesus Christ to get Himself out the grave
and 2000 years later He got me out the grave
now I'm rapping on this mic to see you out the grave

Hook

Tryin to set you free man. I wanna see you as a free man. You feeling me?
If you on the run, stop running man.
Yeah...that's real talk

Chorus:
(J.R.)
Oh
I just wanna be/I just wanna be
Closer to Your heart/You will find me there
Everything I am/It’s because of You
It’s because of You/And now, we sing
Tonight/I’m giving You all of me
Tonight/I let go of everything
Tonight/I’m giving You all of me
Tonight/Tonight/Tonight
I give You all of me

Verse 1:
(Flame)
Let’s pray
Dear Father in the name/Of Your holy Son
I desire like Jesus/Prayed for us to be one
I desire to give/I desire to serve
I desire to love/Others with more than my words
Bless me to be humble/Bless me to be meek
I want to be a joy/When people come around me
Give me a gentle spirit/Bless me to be content
Please keep me from my sin/Let me quickly repent
Please give me discipline/Give me self control
To know when to stop/And when to say no
Make me a bold witness/Please remove fear
Replace it with faith/Pour out Your spirit here
Fill me up Lord/Let me overflow
Let me overdose/Make me holy/Keep me close
I want to give it all/Until there’s none left
But I can’t be too given/Look at Your Son’s death

Chorus:
(J.R.)
Oh
I just wanna be/I just wanna be
Closer to Your heart/You will find me there

Tonight/Tonight/Tonight

Verse 2:
(Flame)
I can see You talking to high priest/Peter just denied You
For the second time/One more time he will deny You
One of the officers smacked You in the face/But he didn’t understand that You were actually grace
But the people would rather see the release of a thief/Than to know forgiveness and be with the Prince of Peace
And as they screamed for Pilate to crucify You/I hear my own voice because every day I deny You
But yet You still bore the cross on Your vertebrae/Walking to Golgatha
What a display of grace
I see Your weakened body beaten/Can’t keep me from crying
Your cross was very heavy/They gave it to Simon
Then You were crucified/They divided Your clothes
Like the Scriptures prophesied/You died and You rose
Two thousand years ago/Slaughtered on the tree
You gave all of You/I’m giving all of me

Chorus:
(J.R.)
Oh
I just wanna be/I just wanna be
Closer to Your heart/You will find me there
Everything I am/It’s because of You
It’s because of You/And now, we sing
Tonight/I’m giving You all of me
Tonight/I let go of everything
Tonight/I’m giving You all of me
Tonight/Tonight/Tonight
I give You all of me

Verse 3:
(Flame)
This I pray Lord/To be like Abraham
Ready to give it all/My only son as the lamb
Ready to sacrifice/Everything if You ask
Because nothing is mine/Not this life that I have
Everything I own/Oh Lord is a gift
So who am I/To hold it with a firm grip
I give You my talent/I give You my time
I give You my eyes/I give You my mind

Chorus:
(J.R.)
Oh
I just wanna be/I just wanna be
Closer to Your heart/You will find me there
Everything I am/It’s because of You
It’s because of You/And now, we sing
Tonight/I’m giving You all of me
Tonight/I let go of everything
Tonight/I’m giving You all of me
Tonight/Tonight/Tonight
I give You all of me
