Used to Think

Aye shoutout to Dr. Joel Biermann (For real, for real)

Who was unapologetically Lutheran (Aye he went hard)

But he helped me to have an open mind

In a way that I didn't have (That's fact)

Coming in (You feel me?)

I used to think like that

Matter of fact I never thought about them at all

Not about the Ethiopian Church

Eastern Orthodox or Rome (Roman Catholic)

Not about the Assyrian, Armenian, Coptic Church at all

And I ain't know nothing 'bout the Lutheran's

But I knew who Martin Luther was

I used to think like

That bread and wine were elements that represent

I don't think like that

This is my body and blood

He said what He meant

I used to, I used to, I used to, think

Jesus's death wasn't for all

It was sufficient for all

Guess that I thought like that, that's how I was taught

I used to think if he fell away from his faith

Then he was never saved

But actually that's not what the Bible say

It's not on a Bible page

It's not hypothetical

If he walked away from his faith then he walked away

But I guess it depends on your regula fidei

And what you were taught to say, but

I used to think like that

That Jesus only died for the elect

I used to think like that

That His atoning work was limited

I used to think like that

The only option were Calvinist-Arminian

I used to think like that

I used to think like that that's cap

I used to think like that that's cap

I used to think like that

I remember thinking that

I remember thinking back being used to wrestle with the fact

When I was a Calvinist

Everything was 'bout an idol, we made an idol out of not making idols

Man that kind of cycle stifles you

If you emphasize it more than the Bible do

That's why when it comes to creation

It feels like there's been a deflation (Deflation)

The emphasis mainly on vertical (Vertical)

Diverted from serving vocation

They say that the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever (That's cool)

You know what that sound like to me on a practical level is coming to together (Bridge)

Serving your neighbor, enjoying creation

To me Luther said it better (He did)

Instead of focused on affections

No diss to Jonathan Edwards

If our faith justifies us

And God saved and baptized us

We set our gaze outside of us

Extra nos, but
