Sevin – Wounds Of A Friend

Lyrics: Wounds Of A Friend by Sevin

See the truth is
Men don’t always represent you well
You know I’m sayin?
They don’t always reflect your character
But see that’s not an excuse for me
To stray away or act how I wanna act because
Regardless of how men misrepresent you
You represented yourself perfectly
As a man
And that’s what I’m called to keep my gaze on
Jesus Christ
You feel me?
The fullness of God manifested in the flesh
Thank you Lord
[Verse 1: Sevin]
Ay
I tried conforming and being normal
It’s too late for me to fit in
Created for something greater
A seat my haters couldn’t sit in
Pride’s the plate
And sin’s the steak that we have bitten
And the riders fake
That’s why they hate for me to get in
Since they’ve labeled me a Christian
I know the agency is listening
I basically hate satan bro
I faithfully resist him
And I know these lucifarians
Think they carrying wisdom
But in Jesus we have freedom
Cuz he was buried and risen
For real
Now they trying to build they tower of Babel again
What is the matter with them
This is the madness of sin
Malicious fanatics contend
This is the pattern of men
In Christ we have already won
I’ve enlisted to battle with sin
If we demonstrate the victory
How then could satan get to me
At Calvary he lost
I guess we emulating history
Through Christ we’ve got the power
To devour the darkness we hate
But we gotta shed the disguise
If we’re gonna target the fake
C’mon
[Chorus: Marcel Jackson]
For every piece of pride that they’ve shown me (it’s real)
And every single lie that they show me (that’s right)
You said there’s no other God’s that’s before me
That’s how I know my Father is holy

[Verse 2: Sevin]
And it gets real up in this mission field
A lot of lives we riskin’
And those without the heart
Be trying to modify the mission
If the body’s got division
Then it’s not a Godly system
But they idolize positions
And try to modernize traditions
Where I hail from it’s hell son
They rape daughters and jail sons
Through Christ’s grave that price’s paid
But you out here trying to sell some
You don’t let the Spirit speak
Your writing pen just writes for trends
Too caught up in your hype
To lend your life out to disciple men
That means you are just an actor
You are just a Christian rapper
You ain’t on no list of factors
Who are you to diss a pastor?
When’s the last time you shed your tears
Out on these wretched blocks
Or gave it all
Just to obey the call and try to shepherd flocks
Yeah that’s what I thought
Go ‘head and check your Google plays
Used to your own idol boy
It don’t matter who you save
Cuz it ain’t even you who saves
That’s the devil’s lie as well
So blinded by your prideful spell
Repent or you gon’ fry in hell
For real
[Chorus: Marcel Jackson]
For every piece of pride that they’ve shown me (You were still there)
And every single lie that they show me (comforting my heart God)
You said there’s no other God’s that’s before me (I find pleasure in Your law, I do)
That’s how I know my Father is holy

[Verse 3: Sevin]
Ay
Ay
And I admit the way my past was captivated
By the cast that made it
To the point I coveted
The platform that it activated
That sinful seed left me
Feeble and incapacitated
Seemed like I fell in love
With everything my master hated
My heart developed so much evil
It was past containment
But a artist never sees the details
Til he has to paint it
The truth’s offensive to the ears
Until you’re acclimated
Most do not listen to the Spirit
Unless their pastor’s saying it
But I took the affidavit
Signed it now I’m past arraignment
Blinded but His kindness over shined it
Where my path was tainted
This world is prideful and our idols
Are so masqueraded
Over time we’re slowly dying
Like a wrist after it’s lacerated
This world reminds me
Of a vehicle that’s being driven blindly
Through a windy road
Plus it ain’t got the gas to make it
I only pray one day I could be half as gracious
For the world He gave His son
Though He ain’t have to save us

For every piece of pride that they’ve shown me
And every single lie that they show me
You said there’s no other God’s that’s before me
That’s how I know my Father is holy
