Make War

[John Piper]

I hear so many christians, murmuring about their imperfections, and their failures, and their addiction, and their shortcomings. And I see so little war! Murmur, murmur, murmur. Why am I this way? Make war!

[Tedashii]

Bang with me

Ba-bang bang, ba-bang with me

No more playing games man

Cause this thang can get risky

So man if you in christ

Take up!

Your cross quickly

Stand fearless on the frontline

Time to come with it

Do the right thing

Wake up!

And lets get it

I ain't even in the ring

They throwing bows like riddick

Persistently attacking me

They're even in the back of me

It's either fight or loose my life and I can't take this passively

So what you think I'm bout to do

I'm bout to do what I can do

Trust the one who got me through

And fight like it was after school

Never giving up

Steady, standing on the battle field

Feet firm to the ground like I stepped on chappel hill

Flesh feeling frisky, sin persuades and tempts me

Satan cheers me on

Guilt followed by conviction

It's the same ol' trap

And we fall like we defenseless

Work your senses

Grow in wisdom

Stand firm and be relentless

[Chorus]

I make war!

Cause sin never sleeps

It's got me in a trance

You can see it in my dreams

I make war!

Man I beat my flesh

To the death

Every breath

Like I beat my chest

I make war

Sun up

I make war

Sun down

I make war

Time in

I make war

Time out

I make war

Against lust

Against pride

Against me

Until I die

[Flame]

Do you even have a clue

What happened to you when he died

When that tomb got rolled when he rose in the sky

I think we emphasis sin so much

That it makes us paralyzed

And glorify struggle so much

That it makes us terrified

And deemphasize the fact that we have been sterilized from our own lives and thus

We gotta snap out of it

We aint in no straight-jacket

We free

When jesus died in our lives something strange happened

He gave us power

Yeah I know that we sinners but since he rose he's renewing the image of god in us

Now, we gotta start making war

Now we can start saying no

To them fleshy impulses that jesus christ is paying for

Now we can start taking the lead

Just like the dalai lama and start going all out like a suicide bomber

Whatever the sin is we gotta go go go harder

By his grace no time to waste and just just just like there's no tomorrow

[Chorus]

I make war!

Cause sin never sleeps

It's got me in a trance

You can see it in my dreams

I make war!

Man I beat my flesh

To the death

Every breath

Like I beat my chest

I make war

Sun up

I make war

Sun down

I make war

Time in

I make war

Time out

I make war

Against lust

Against pride

Against me

Until I die

[Verse 3]

I'm a christ representer, fin to stand and deliver

Cause a lot of my believers struggle with their agenda

So I dropped this on an adat

Just so you could come play back

A hit to be encouraged that rocks you with truth from, way back

So listen up to it asap

Like you do a lecrae track

I'm spittin' written visions to put on heads like a wave cap

Sinning, nawl we don't play that

Cause that's the way that a slave acts

I'm filled with the spirit so tell them dog this is pay back

As you begin to copy the carbon copies of christ

And conform to his written image you should be shinning a light

If you not, why is that?

Is it fear that's been grippin' you

Cause you scared they'll be dissin' you

Flipping birds while that spit at you

If you not, why is that?

It don't matter so bump it

Perfect love cast out fear and he ain't save us for nothing

This is a privilege (privilege)

Your life to give to him (give to him)

So stand firm for him dawg and lets get it in

[Chorus]

I make war!

Cause sin never sleeps

It's got me in a trance

You can see it in my dreams

I make war!

Man I beat my flesh

To the death

Every breath

Like I beat my chest

I make war

Sun up

I make war

Sun down

I make war

Time in

I make war

Time out

I make war

Against lust

Against pride

Against me

Until I die

I make war!
