GIFT RAP

THROWBACK

Saved From Myself

When I was saved from my sin, still wasn’t saved from myself,

Willful obsession had possession of my mind to propel,

Me toward destruction seems my function was to run into Hell!

It seems until I really let go, I just couldn’t Excel!

Cause I was hanging on to things, and I just couldn’t let go,

And God was asking for my heart, and I repeatedly said no!

I had His Spirit in my heart, but I wouldn’t give Him control,

So, there was a war raging within me and I was about to explode!

I didn’t know that there were still some steps that I had to take,

Cause I was stuck in my own ignorance and couldn’t escape!

I took my eyes off of the Prize, and then I made some mistakes,

And then got stuck in some habits I didn’t mean to create!

And they reshaped what was inside of me and took me away,

From my First Love and tried to shove me out and lead me astray!

Until I gave the Lord my whole heart, I was doomed to replay,

The same pattern over and over, I had to choose to obey!
