Power to Die - Pro, Tony Tillman

Now when I’m done

I know a lot a y’all

Will say that I’m a hater

But y’all treat the Holy Spirit like Magic

Lakers

If the pastor to Kamehameha ya

And you fall on the ground

If you ain’t living like Christ

What’s the point of jumpin' 'round?

I think we need to see clear

About the power that was given

Not a genie in a bottle

For you to have better livin'

He’s an untamed Lion

Sent to make you go harder

In Acts He took 12 cowards

Turned most of 'em into martyrs

Being Christian wasn’t cliche

Like it is today

It was death on the cross

Or being burned at the stake

Now please

Don’t get me wrong

I believe that we can prosper

But turning God into your butler

To me is not proper

Peter was crucified

John was boiled alive

And they knew Christ in the flesh

And wasn’t spared by God

See what I’m getting at

Some of you cats are liars

He ain’t power to be comfortable

But power to expire

Now when the fight gets realer

With the man in the mirror

We got (power to die)

He gave us (power to die)

No this is not suicide

But I’m willing to give my life

We got (power to die)

He gave us (power to die)

I yell His name on the earth

Till they put me in the dirt

We got (power to die)

He gave us (power to die)

So if it mean I don’t survive

To see His glory on high

We got (power to die)

He gave us (power to die)

Ay it’s crazy how we live like we still slaves

Like Jesus never came

Like God is never pleased

And we forever chained

But man we ain’t condemned

For Him we give up everything

Every desire and breath in us just to let Him reign

Submitting to the will of His Spirit and not for better things

But we die to gain

New life from a God Who never change

Peep the New Covenant relationship we can now exchange

A Sunday kind of love

Call it that Etta James

Love beyond the weekend

Trust to the last Scripture

We rise before Easter

And follow Him past Christmas

We wrestle with bad habits

Break 'em like glass fixtures

Pick up our cross and walk till our shoulder blades have blisters

We got power dawg

We can do it all through Christ

Focus on the Sacrifice

You can’t afford to lose sight

Continue to follow right

Pursue it with all your might

And deny yourself

You call it death

We call it new life

Pick up your cross and stand

Flat footed on the Word

No matter how life turns

To equate your life with worth

Without the Lord is absurd sir

Sin will try to put you in a backyard fight

But the Spirit got a right like Kimbo Slice

Uppercut like Tyson roundhouse like Van Dam

One inch punch like Bruce Lee

Resourceful like Jackie Chan

So what you gettin' whooped for

I suggest you scrap folk

Then one day we will be glorified

That’s a fact bro

But till He come back to overcome evil for good

We must kill our sin nature everyday

Understood

By fasting you deny yourself and bring it to submission

Prayer reminds you Who the captain is

Humbling to His mission

Read the Scriptures

They reveal God and His purpose

What’s the point having a weapon if ya don’t know how to work it

There’s strength in unity so fight with a community

These tools the Spirit use to help you die to you and me
