TULIP is an acronym used to represent that 5 points of Calvinism. These points are:
Total Depravity
Unconditional Election
Limited Atonement
Irresistible Grace
Perseverance of the Saints
While Flame used to be a Calvinist, he has now become a Lutheran.
[Intro]
The Lord always brings you what you need
Right on time, too
I’m just thankful for the journey
[Verse 1]
Hollin', hollin', hallelujah God
It came in the nick of time
Calvinism was sublime
Rescued me from my decline
Bigger picture painted God
Scripture get prioritized
Plus it fit my introverted, nerdy, burdened, quirky side
I’m persuaded by the Bible, Mr. John (John)
Sold his exegesis from Geneva, Switzerland, but it's crazy, though
You put what you know to the five
Test the systematics with other erudite paradigms (What you find?)
You find great men (Luther) who know Greek, Hebrew, too
You find great women, well-learned outside of ya group
Then them strong pillars, they used to stand, start to fall
Now you diggin' through the rubble struggle to rebuild your walls
Hold up
[Chorus]
I see scattered tulips
Come with me I’ll show you what I found
I be diggin' in the text
Funny what you find when you low to the ground
I see scattered tulips
Come with me I’ll show you what I found
I be diggin' in the text
Funny what you find when you low to the ground
[Verse 2]
Hollin', hollin' out, can't take it God
Nah, now need some peace of mind
Tulips seen on the ground
They eisegeted Romans 9
From what used to seem like the biggest thing at the time
God’s sovereignty started really shrinking God down in size
I’m predestined right
Let’s assume I’m one of the elect
At a low point
Life a mess, in the flesh
Where you find me at? (Yeah)
Introspecting trying to check
Looking deep within myself trying my best to assess
Was I genuine? Am I regenerate? Better yet
Was I ever really with Him?
Will He hit me with Matthew 7?
Let’s be clear (clear), we justified by our faith
Maybe Mr. Calvin had sanctification out of place
I don’t know
[Chorus]
I see scattered tulips
Come with me I’ll show you what I found
I be diggin' in the text
Funny what you find when you low to the ground
I see scattered tulips
Come with me I’ll show you what I found
I be diggin' in the text
Funny what you find when you low to the ground
