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
