Wonder 02:17
I wonder how You can show me grace When it seems I spit in Your face day to day I'm like why bother, but You're a good Father You turn it around, spin it like Lynda Carter You pardon my mess, from pitiful to success Yet I'm typical to turn invisible and jet I wonder what's next when I'm feeling distressed Then I recollect what You spent for paying my debt I won’t measure like Steve Trevor But You want me for forever, the Good shepherd Nothing will sever, we're tethered together You saved me from Hades and gave me my daily bread so I'm ready for the war with Ares I'm overjoyed, that You stuck with Your boy Created to be Your copy, Donna Troy I'm poised to make some noise, avoid the decoys And destroy the chains cause change is more than coins I wonder when Jesus is coming back And I wonder when He'll take sin off the map And I wonder what the future holds But I don't wonder who is in control Great Hera! Imma live forever Heading to a paradise better than Themysecia Where we wear crowns and tiaras Yo it's the new era Our errors are erased and replaced with something better Trained by You or trained by I Ching Get a white jumpsuit in exchange for everything I don't think so I do whatever it takes yo To share your message of redemption Grab my lasso I'll do what they won't, go for broke And be a new wonder for this world, Gal Gadot Imma poke the bear I don't care if it gets woke Cause maybe it'll get hungry for something You wrote And step out on faith and follow Your ways Whether or not they get paid they'll still sing Your praise But until that day I'll pray for them patiently Hmmm, I wonder how You repay complacency?

I've been captured by Your lasso You're truth is like a lasso It wraps around me like a lasso You wrap around me, never let go I'm connected to Your essence I've been elected You're my protection Your message of repentace brings us to your presence The lesson of redemption is the only way to Heaven No longer question, second guessing Your perfection My confession is that I rejected Your blessings I was selective with Your word, turned them into suggetions I was reckless in my youth, now Your truth is my obsession It's the substance of life I put my trust in the Christ I wonder why the public hungers for lies They eat and drink deceit like it's their water supply But they excrete their meat complete with maggots and flies I wanna 1-up when I die Raise my son up in Your light Teach him wrong from right, the Holy Spirit as my guide Wholly fearless no compromise Your word is not customized No side of fries but Your power is super-sized I've been captured by Your lasso You're truth is like a lasso It wraps around me like a lasso You wrap around me, never let go They can't accept You But they pretend to They resent You and wanna end You They call Your followers intolerant baboons They skew Your truth so it approves what they do I wanna be the moon, which means reflecting the Son A reflection so bright they might understand Your love There's no other to come, no wonder I'm stunned That the Son shed His blood so everyone could be won They can choose to refuse But that's kinda a bad move It's like eating mud for food when you could've had soup They try to disprove or remove what You created They painted You a sadist said Your word spreads hatred But notice this moment was mentioned in Romans It's not like they've invented something You haven't told us You've spoken, and You've got me roped in Pulling in the lowest, hopeless and broken I've been captured by Your lasso You're truth is like a lasso It wraps around me like a lasso You wrap around me, never let go While I was your enemy You came down and died for me While I was your enemy You came down, You lassoed me I've been captured by Your lasso You're truth is like a lasso It wraps around me like a lasso You wrap around me, never let go

Words hurt and fists hurts worse Beaten with your bag or purse Like you're being purged from the earth It's like a curse to be a dork, a geek or a nerd We say we're fine but that's a lie Cause our cries go unheard Ripped shirts, broken glasses, Bruises and scratches There's no compassion when they're photographing Pointing and laughing You're asking them to stop You threaten to call the cops But the only moves you got are unlocked on your XBox That's injustice, what you need is a task force Go straight to the source, the Lord has what you've asked for Stay the course, His angels are your back board With a plan that'll make heads turn, Max Lord Brother I hope you don't bother with those guys Sister I hope there's no bitterness inside When in a bind, keep your eyes locked on the Most High He's with you the whole time, He's with you the whole time Go ahead, you can say your words You can try all day but they ain't gonna hurt Bullies think I'll scream when their bullets fly at me Maybe they'll sting but they bounce right off me They bounce like we're throwing up bracelets Let's face it we're faceless til those jerks decide to make us famous But they can't phase us They're only the latest in a line of haters The Greatest made us and saved us so there's nothing to be afraid of So don't be timid we got the Spirit living within us We're made in His image this is more than religion Which means you're a princess like Diana of a Prince like Diana We're covered by the blood of the Lamb, Crimson Alabama Roll Tide, we roll eyes at thrown lies that collide From both sides our whole life destroy snide Let's joyride He provides a battalion for the challenge Gives medallions to the valiant Keep patient when facing bullets and bracelets amalgam And they outta miss, it's not like they're Artemis Stay confident when the hardest hit Cause God's your guardian Your protector, your septar, your shield your deflector, He's your perfecter always remember God loves you forever

We’re chasing enemies that would squeeze our dreams But we tree our feet, we don’t know retreat So grab your sword of the Spirit and helmet of salvation These are more than lyrics, nothing normal that we’re facing Man the battle station and remember your foundation We’re blazing for the Amazing who made your configuration So I keep slashing like Jason til I’m wrinkled like raisins Fighting as Nightwing like Richard Grayson in Bludhaven I hate it how we be saved yet behaving like we be naked And thinking Satan ain’t waiting outside to start the temptating Dictating fictitious allegations but we must face it With the realization that in Christ there is no condemnation Be patient you Padawan continue to battle on We’re warriors fighting like Titans and Amazons Now take it to Babylon and all of ‘em that belong Now all of ya’ll sing along, na na na na na na We are warriors of God and we ain't gonna stop No, we are gonna rock you With the grace that does save Riding with my Savior's sign on Cross which we rely on With armor and blade We ride on, ride on Warriors of God keep your eyes to Zion Put your life on the cross that the Christ died on We were saved from the grave the day he rised on My brothers we ride on, my sisters we ride on There’s no defeat peeps our team can’t be beat You see, Krosky sings and E brings the heat We keep each other prayer to always be prepared For when the enemy attacks he attacks without care It ain’t fair, this world we live in where winning is tied to sinning You’re given a ribbon at finish but at death it’s diminished So how can you win without sinning in a world so driven To drive itself into hell, I’ll tell it’s through repentance The message of the Gospel it well boggles the noggle But God’ll give you a model in Jesus that you can follow Sometimes we waddle awhile, keep the bottles in piles But let it out, be proud, shout that you’re God’s child
