[Verse 1: S.O]
Man it's still Soli Deo Gloria
I'm still relying the message with sure euphoria
I hope that I ain't boring ya
Displaying all His blessings
My guess is some ain't calling us
But we just warming up
The message in the chorus cus
The essence what you getting, I'm stressing this because
The true manna came from heaven, came to die and shed His blood
And now I live for Him, I'm writing rhymes and telling thugs
Anybody with ears who can hear, here is love
From above hommie, the Son of Man came down lowly
Humbled Himself no wealth could be found though His
God living in the flesh, be astound solely
To give way to you praising Him now boldly
Yeah, now that's the base of what I do
Put the L next to the M and see the faces of my crew
Keep stating what is true
Keep skating on the move while
Taking the Gospel, being gracious as we do, cool
[Verse 2: S.O]
Uh, I'm praying that they see the proof
Trying to plant some apple seeds so they see the fruit
I refuse for apathy when I leave the booth
Take this truth to Aberdeen if I needed to
Or out in Philly take the scenic route
Its still the same aim gotta maintain what is feasible
Do you compute, or do I have to highjack the mainframe of your brain so it stay doesn't leak a few
Disciples in London that's who I call brothers
And my sisters pray I could be gone all summer
And Trusay is rolling with if you at all wondered
Even if I call it quits that's my blood brother
Redeemed by the blood that they Saviour poured
Transferred into His kingdom should we stay indoors
And keep our mouths closed
That don't sound bold
But rather go and tell the world, now that sound cold
[Verse 3: S.O]
So please tell 'em folks listening who installs wisdom
And he calls Christians, to be all about the Way but since the falls hit them
We still struggle when our muscles ain't at all lifting
I won't rumble in the jungle with them odds hitting
But then a spark gets 'em
The Holy Spirit lives inside, by grace we will abide not at all drifting
Planted firm by the water that's the Psalms system
Like a tree by the stream, God's call lift 'em, up
So when I'm down I remember grace
And His dissension is of course such a demonstration
For meditation why You take my place
And hang upon a wooden cross, here's a celebration
Because were really called sons and daughters of the Most High this is what's up
And so we live in gratitude right from the start
He began a good work so ensures we hit the mark
[Outro: Timothy Brindle]
Ah, my beloved brother S.O. the kid
Grace and peace to you bro
I'm so excited and honoured to welcome you to Lamp Mode Recordings on behalf of the brethren
Just like Christ has welcomed us for the glory of God
Bro I fell in love with the content of your rhymes the moment I heard The 5 Solas Mixtape and what stuck out to me was the wonderful spirit-rock focus on person and work of Jesus Christ
So I encourage you brother, please, never stop magnifying who Jesus is and what he's done, both in your rhymes, and your thoughts and in your lifestyle
As Colossians 1:16 indicates, we were made for this purpose
So S.O., as a spirit-filled, extremely talented emcee, it's clear our Father wants to do great things through you
So my challenge is to never lose the humility that comes from grace
Please don't allow an attitude of entitlement to replace a broken and contrite spirit that flows forth from one who's received the grace of Jesus
Bless you my brother
So it continues
