Sound (Titus)

Lyrics

V.1 Lets take a look at the letter Paul wrote to Titus Yeah we bout to dive in, I hope you exited For sure it's inspired, let's go and apply it Arrive at conclusions useful to giving Christ His glory that He deserves, the story is in His word Titus is all about giving Him glory as His Church From Paul, a bonservant, to Titus, they both fervent Both serving Christ with their life with the most urgence Titus was his disciple, he left him in Crete (Why?) To keep the Church in order, his lessons complete With rules about elders, fools who need help And Jews who do fail, stay tuned, see what he tells us It may seem far from us, just irrelevent text Look what if we not pastors? But just rest for a sec I promise I'll bring it home, let's invest in the text About to hit you with the hook, I be addressing it next Let's be sound in faith In doctrine, in speech, plus deeds Rep Jesus the King, let Him lead us please Plus we see He told us how we must be Let's read and trust Jesus who freed us please In our faith, in doctrine, in speech plus deeds Rep Jesus the King, let Him lead us please Plus we see He told us how we must be Let's read and trust Jesus who freed us please V.2 Paul told him elders needed to be above reproach With love and hope and livin' all the stuff He spoke But then there are those who wear the clothes of elders but they bear the woes Of false teachers not speaking truth, so don't select those Correct those men and defy 'em They tryin' to say they know God but by their deeds they deny Him 1:5-9 are the type of cats we wanna pick For leadership within the Church, them other cats we 'pose to fix (but hold up) Don't tune me out, I hope that you'll endure and see that These things are really marks of a mature believer We can see that and apply it to our own livin' Instead of sinnin', trippin' and livin' with no vision Don't miss it, chapter two, really addresses me and you And everybody in the Body with some lessons we can use So read it all and pick the parts that seem to be to you Live out the sound doctrine, let people see the fruit V.3 Let's be blameless and show consideration for men Cos we was just like them before He saved us within Wasn't strange, we had rage and hatred for men Disobedient, deceived and enslaved to our sin But He saved us, and not on the basis of men But thanks to His mercy regeneration begins Poured out His Holy Spirit, man He placed it within Justified by grace, thats so amazing for men If we see this, believe this, we saved and free Then let Jesus lead us to engage in deeds Forget foolish controversy and stay in sync With He who saved us and raised us, His name is sweet I'm praying as the Body of Christ we model His life And reference the book of Titus to follow Him right And we're an accurate reflection of His beautiful Church Let us rep Him with our words and our beautiful works
