My City (Ephesians)

Lyrics

V.1 Let me tell you about my city little homie, that's if you ain't read Where they practice black magic and speak to the dead Minds fried like bleach to the head From the stuff being preached by the Greeks if you read Our main attraction is our main distraction Thanks for asking, actually I can't stand her Who is she, she draws every man And every woman from every land to her temple of Diana She's regarded as a sacred goddess One of the seven wonders of the world It's obvious the Christlessness in my city To worship a many-breasted mummy-looking girl Under the Romans my city is free So you can only imagine the things that's going on That's why believers here in Ephesus Have no choice but to cling to the throne V.2 When we got the letter from Paul my dawg was locked in chains This was the means by which the doctrine came Of the teaching explaining the gospel man From the Apostle Paul written to all the saints in Ephesus He started off with some definitions Explicitly was written for Christians He made it plain it wasn't a plan B He predestined to save a portion of humanity Through His own Son for His own glory Through His Son's blood, said he was praying for us That our eyes would see the hope of the call The riches of glory, His inheritance He has in us all Said we was saved by grace through faith Faith's a gift so faith through grace In light of that we shouldn't live like we used to It's crucial that we don't do what we used to do V.3 It blessed my heart to read How God revealed to Paul this mystery How we were far from God with no peace We can't lie, dawg we been foul Cats might even know us as Gentiles In other words we are not Jewish Still be dead in our sin if God did not do this Tear down the wall between Jews and Gentiles Praise God now I can be His child Now we can walk in unity with no more beef And keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace And share our gifts as we edify one another No harsh joking, being corrupt, lying on each other Putting off the old man and putting on the new In our marriages, families, even on our jobs The new nature affecting every area of our lives The whole armor's applied coz we soldiers for God
