Dead to sin, Alive in Christ-Spoken word

Dead to sin, Alive in Christ

You're beautiful.

Ain't nobody needs to tell you

Because Jesus already said it

You don't need those high heel shoes

You don't need to be disrespecting your body

Because some guy tells you to dress a certain way

You don't need the revealing clothes

That society tells you to wear everyday

You're growing up

Gaining feelings of desire

To be wanted, to be loved

Passion burns like a fire

Inside you and its good

But you're not using it right

You can't glorify a gift from God

With your clothes that are too tight

Forgetting the meaning of purity

Because society has drowned you

With poisonous thoughts

Simply from what the music artists do

And what their videos say

To drop it like its hot?

What happened to following God

Have you chosen for your eyes to be shut?

To be blinded by these worldly things

Making idols in your life

Replacing God's love with falseness

And then wondering why suffering cuts you like a knife

Stuck in this viscous cycle

And you think you can't come out.

Well I’ve got something to say to you.

Today. Right now. Something is happening.

And its called change.

A change that comes when you accept Jesus as Lord

And you stop trying to please the eyes of men

When you stop dressing your body to impress

But allowing the renewal of your mind time and time again

And its no longer a one day thing

When you go to church on Sunday, bit of praise, maybe sing

Then you go back to the world

Stuck in that boxing ring

And the fighting gets hard.

Your tired. You can't fight any more.

Are you gonna step back

And just let him take your fall?

I'm not saying these things

To disgrace or to shame you

Simply just saying I was stuck in that same cycle

Stuck like glue

Wondering what was missing in this life

That I had chosen to live

Dancing with sin
