Say It In The Light

[Intro]
There’s nothing that I by myself ever accomplished
I owe all of me to God, I am no more than an accomplice
If you catch me on the street, or ever see me acting pompous
Just remind me of this song and bring my mental back to conscious!

[Chorus]
Immanuel, immaculate
He showing love, He passionate
Three days up, He back in this
Takes us all, when we lack Him
Taking me in and His mercy is endless
I could not end this
Can’t mess with His plans He don’t take any wrenches
Don’t even mention

[Verse 1]
It's not about the power that I get through Him
It's all about the power so I get through sin
Living outside of my homebase
Take a sinner back 'til he knows grace
In music and life, I want to show faith
More food for thought than can fit on my plate
And I wanna be as holy as the Vatican
Oh no, there goes Carter with that crap again
How can you be godly in a God-less world
Well why can’t I be godly in a God-less world
It’s not how I can be godly, it’s how God can be in me
'Cause I’m the opposite of perfect, even when I’m pretend-me
And I don’t even know how there can be a happy ending
‘Cept I know that there will be and then one day I’ll be ascending
Ok now open your mind up and listen me Carter
Learn what you want but I’m always beyond it I’ll still be a mystery Carter
I love you forever you’re mine so don’t worry 'bout changing your history Carter
I’m your death, I’m your life, every part of your body, you live in me Carter
Put on my armor
The helmet the sword I’m a soldier no farmer
A spiritual battle is in me and in the world
I must survive before evil consumes
God is the teacher
And I’m the overdue assignment
Good to know He still takes it
Even when it’s in the form of rhyming
Spitting to get rid of it, I’m bitten, sick inside of it
Beginning I resided in it, in this trip, I piloted
I’m sinning in my ignorance, I’m missing what’s been heaven-sent
I’m sitting on pretended riches, getting too big for my britches

[Chorus]
Immanuel, immaculate
He showing love, He passionate
Three days up, He back in this
Takes us all, when we lack Him
Taking me in and His mercy is endless
I could not end this
Can’t mess with His plans He don’t take any wrenches
Don’t even mention

[Verse 2]
How can I feel like I don't have friends
When God always got me, that friendship won't end
Everything I rap gotta represent God
This what I got, all my effort in God
Came to the cross, I was bearing my burden
Said “God, help me out!”
Said “This is urgent!”
His infinite love and His mercy saved me
I was down, so He came and raised me
So God came down He did His thing and so He rescued me
And now I’m living life so strong could beat it easily
How can I boast? In God
I do the most, in God
Life isn’t easy, can’t coast, it’s hard
But God on my side, that’s the easiest part
Maybe you guys didn’t know this side of me
And maybe you guys don’t think that I’m right
But if I say all this in the dark
I can say it in the light
