Christ Centric - Oracles of Christ
(from the album The Reformation)
© copyright 2005

Hook:
New life in Christ results in new ways/
Sow hen rocking mics it results in due praise/
Proclaim the truth don’t get caught up in this life/
When we speak let’s speak as the oracles of Christ!

Verse 1:
If you’re Christian hiphop then make Christ your topic/
I shouldn’t search hard for Him like He’s microscopic/
And when you drop it, it’s not on which coast you’re nice/
If any man boasts let him boast in Christ/
Kill that style make it ghost like poltergeist/
Some Christian rappers shouldn’t even be holding mics/
Where’s the Spirit ‘cause the flesh controls your life/
If pride was gambling you rolled the dice/
We’re called to be distinct—your mission/
I don’t see the link, unbelievers think—you’re Christian/
In the world and filled with its cares/
While no soldier gets tangled in civilian affairs/
It’s got to be amazing, if God is who we’re praising/
Then pride shouldn’t even be a part of the equation/
Spit gospel like an actual preacher/
Bump respect leave that to Aretha/
You packing heat rapping on beats attacking the streets/
But after you speak, practice what’s preached/
‘Cause God don’t bless the phony—amen/
And it’s not your testimony that saves men/
Make them nod their head like osteoporosis/
About Christ kenosis not who writes the dopest/
Without Him life is hopeless, you can quote this/
We need to keep our sight in focus!

Hook:
New life in Christ results in new ways/
So when rocking mics it results in due praise/
Proclaim the truth don’t get caught up in this life/
When we speak lets speak as the oracles of Christ!

Verse 2:
The Lord makes us the earth’s salt shakers/
The group preserving truth to all lawbreakers/
Not to blow up like helium, reveal their sin/
Not to be their chameleons! Feel me friends/
With their mug’s looking like a Christian thug/
This is bugged, how that sound—Christian thug/
Become all things so that in some sense/
Some get saved, not a package lacking substance/
Don’t try to hide behind your rep that’s great/
With the lost, of course, there’s no dividing line that separates/
Stop hiding who God says He is/
Busy trying to woo with a lopsided view/
Cliques are so quick to proclaim love/
But then Mormons and JW’s fall in the same club/
See it’s vital to preach the Bible/
‘Cause if it’s not the God of Scripture then he’s an idol/
It’s well documented/
Sinners go to hell ‘cause they’ve not repented/
A fiery cellblock attendant/
So a balanced view make sure’s coming through/
‘Cause they can get what’s behind door number 2/
Lord help me please/
Another thing, these outreaches ain’t just for us to sell CD’s/
The Church of Christ has the words of life/
It’s free, now that’s the perfect price on our merchandise.
