Resilience (Song Lyrics)
Verse 1:
(Precise)
I'm a product of broken shackles of flesh and blood Tabernacles, a messenger heckled hecklers preached to jeckles and jackals, I was one God forgave so shall Bob forgive, I'm saying rise and live this more than positive, I tried to hide I hid I tried to slide I slid, I don't know why I did some of the things I did, maybe my pride did it divide with my bride did it, cried and I tried to apply logic it did nothing I am not frontin', I've seen what God can do smash everything that your facing and make it hard for you, straight facts I said it I mean it I put my life on it, gift of God nothing can top it homie you might want it, Precise on it New York state of mind with Christ on it, Life got a price on it why you rolling dice on it, pulled me out the frying pan, there's people dying man so I stretch my diaphragm and scream the Messiah's plan…
Hook:
He does that – who controls the wind and the waves, He does that – who possesses power over the grave, He does that – He saves, He does that – He gave, He does that – He made everything ever made,
This I speak is truth my friend my own might is just a trend, here tonight tomorrows spent, Yah makes me resilient…
Verse 2: (elleVATE)
We spring back like palm trees,
High winds to calm seas,
Results don't always please us,
Still got that peace like Jesus,
In the desert or a drought He's my canteen,
Living Water got me woke no caffeine,
With the static life brings,
The bite stings makes you wanna scream,
One time for the grace line,
Cause I got it all wrong yeah so many times,
Two times for the Great Vine,
I'm a branch who abides in the will of the Most High,
Do or die patterns offbeat,
Won't sink foundations concrete,
We greet manana with a joy no man speaks,
Unconventional methods we seek,
This here ain't game man,
Just that clay in the Potter's hand,
Trying not to settle down in quicksand,
Fell a few times but again we stand,
Many weapons formed but no prospering,
The door is closed don't let the enemy in,
Stay teflon suited all the way to the end,
Weary soldiers never win…
Verse 3: (elleVATE)
Got help to relieve pressure/ struggles in life will test ya/ down in the dumps so long you forgot about the One you could give all your stress ta/ The past is over like last night/ Grace for another day - New sights/ firm in the faith that good fight/ navigate through the dark- no flashlight...
