Desmond Nevels - Church Rebuke Lyrics

You know
No one is above correction
Not me
Or even the church

Hope the Church is hearing me
We love the word but hate to follow prophecy
We shout in church but living in idolatry
Guessing ima call it like I see its hypocrisy
That's why the world ain't getting with this honesty
Cause we claiming Christ but living how the sinners be
Truly that's confusing to the people G
If ye ain't gon surrender just quit claiming you're His property
Are you gone try to tell me that His grace sufficient
Well, let me go ahead and paint a picture different
Listen
Christ said we're supposed to be a living witness
How you going to change them if our testimony look suspicious
We living like a Christian doesn't have a standard
Can play the saint but living in a worldly manner
We living like it's something that he recommended
God made it clear holiness is something he commanded
The world is getting sick of our atrocities
If we ain't with the real, they gone see right through the flattery
They gon eat you up and spit you out like a commodity
All cuz we chose to treat God like he commonly
We come to God and disregard He's Holy
Don't reverence who He is so we treat Him like the homie
Rather fear men than to fear God soley
But fear makes you part from the sin and the old things
The fear of God will make feel rejected
May God give you joy he won't let you feel neglect
Take heart, when you follow God its expected
They may hate your gut but with God your accepted
You prolly think I'm judging like, Dezzy who are you?
I'm only here to warn you cause I really did it too
Was coming to the church and I was singing in the pews
But when I stepped out in the world, I would do what sinners do
Fornicating, watching porn
Wasn't being Spirit led
I would flatter every girl trying to get them in my bed
I know it sounds strange, but you heard just what I said
Appeared to be alive but inside was really dead
A Christian in disguise I was blind to what I did
Misusing God's grace and ignoring that he bleed
Would struggle with the sin so I lived in fear and dread
Cause I knew if heaven came, I would go to hell instead
But God showed me grace and pulled me out the pit
He showed up in a dream then he told me to repent
I woke up out my sleep and I pondered what it meant
Is it just my inner thoughts
Was it really heaven sent
So, I shrugged it off my shoulders and I listen to my flesh
I followed after lust, and I lusted after death
But when I tried to sleep, I couldn't get no rest
My sins kept in haunting me I murmured in my breath
Repent
