Sevin, Souljah and Sincere put all out there, using a clever twist on Tina Turner’s “Love Like This”, they reflect upon the the all-consuming nature of God’s love and acceptance of all sinners. This love is deeply reflected in the trials, pain and testimonies of the saints.
[Sevin]
Yeah
Whoooooah
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
I had to lose everything to regain my life
Eternally your earnestly exchanged my sight
To that which was blind
To that which can see
Romantically enchant me
Ain't no plan B
You resurrect me from the gloom to the bliss
Now my tomb don't exist due to wounds in your wrist
This villain seems torn
But
Still I'm adorin' it
A slave to the Son that was hung like an ornament
I'm in debt to God, so I rest in Yeshua
Yes you are blessed Yahweh
I'm left in awe
Of Your beauty undefined by the words of man
I am truly under Jah so I serve his plan
I would honestly rather be skinned alive
Than to blaspheme his Name and defend His pride
I never knew what it was I missed
Within myself until I felt love like this!
[Hook]
I would rather die than never fall this deep in love
I'm so captivated
Saturated
You fill me up
I would rather be born blind than live my whole life
And not see your face
(Thank you Father)
There's nothing more gorgeous
Than what you did for us
I'm lost in your grace
[Souljah]
Dealin' with El Elyon
It's finna time to change mayne
In the past the heavy metal persuade men
Show the strap they backpedal like DBs
Through the rap, now pack-ghettos receive me
Jehovah Nissi for this I owe You gratitude
Countless times I should've died
But latitude, chose to keep me
Intricate plan of Elohim
Now I'm given a vision no livin' mack
Of a dream set free by the Risen King
Red streams
Blood ravines
On the limbs of a tree
As floods poured from the thorns and the spear in His side
Predetermined every soul that would hear me tonight
Blue-printed footsteps
Calculated my breath
Counted hair follicles
Every droplet of sweat
Out of respect
I'd rather forever be chained up and mauled by piranhas
Than forsake our bond
I never knew what it was I missed
Within myself
Until I felt love like this!
[Hook]
I would rather die than never fall this deep in love
I'm so captivated
Saturated
You fill me up
I would rather be born blind than live my whole life
And not see your face
There's nothing more gorgeous
Than what you did for us
I'm lost in your grace
[Sincere]
I've been tested and tried
Cried at the same time
Struggle while I've been cast aside
Far from your eyes
Wonderin' why no one loved me
I hungered inside
As the thunder and lightnin' set blaze to the sky
Figurin' I'm just immune to the tunes of the time
Singing songs of a lonely heart destined to cry
Walking blind with my mortal eyes raised to the sky
Seein' angels and demons right where I reside
Lord I'm scared cuz I'm not prepared to see the other side
But so many of my homies did it
I can only try
As I put that razor to my wrist to split it side by side
I can hear my mama praying
"Baby give Him one mo' try"
Then I heard Yo' voice softly speak to my mind
Come to Me, I can give you rest
Lord here am I
Now I'm washed in His blood
New thug with a fix
Thanking God cuz He let me feel a love like this!
[Hook]
I would rather die than never fall this deep in love

Saturated
You fill me up
I would rather be born blind than live my whole life
And not see your face
There's nothing more gorgeous
Than what you did for us
I'm lost in your grace
