Election (feat. Willie Will)

(Willie Will)
 Peep it son, no need to run from the truth
 We need to come to understand Ephesians 1
 We see in love the Father predestined
 We seem to have a problem with the doctrine of election
 We keep stressin' and leave guessin' leadin' to depression
 Because it's God's love we question
 Well sit back and take a deep breath in
 And exhale, let's set sail, the word of God is eshin'
 Let's be real with it, the Bible obviously talks
 About predestination so we gotta deal with it
 I'll be a fake attorney by His grace and mercy
 And present my case so let's take a journey for the sake of learning
 First turn to Romans 8: 28-30
 Zoomin' in on 29, read the first line
 "Those whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to
 The image of His Son"- Exhibit #1
 People try to use an argument lacking common sense
 Concerning the foreknowledge of God thinking the logic fits
 Dudes are saying He looked out into the future ages
 With illumination seeing all that would choose salvation
 And those men were chosen by God because they chose Him
 But that's not what the passage has spoken
 It says those He foreknew He predestined
 If he foreknew everybody, is everybody predestined?
 Is everyone His object of affection?
 If so, then what's the point of the doctrine of election?
 It's spiritual but let me make it plain so u see the miracle
 And praise His Name instead of taking His grace in vain
 It isn't complicated, we all evaded the God that made us
 And traded in His truth for a lie
 Worshiping what God created more than God who is glorified
 Corroborated our death, our lives are an abomination
 But if the Father's aim is to bestow mercy
 Then it's not to say that He was obligated but that God is gracious
 As God's enemies we deserve to be crushed
 We're dirty enough to be eternally cursed and turned into dust
 And if he did it He would be perfectly just to murder me but
 He decided to show mercy to us
 I didn't choose God, God chose me
 Gave me a new heart and it wasn't because I was holy
 But if I chose G-O-D then God owes me, the only reason
 I first walked thru them church doors is
 Psalm 65 4, why do I know God?
 Matthew 11: 27 says it best and
 Those that have been predestined keep pressin'
 It's a deep message, I only see blessin' in election
 'Ma see the blessin', yo it's not even a question
 How God in His perfection wrote the doctrine of election
 (Shai linne)
 God in His perfection wrote the doctrine of election
 Cause He's sovereign, there's no question and that got some people stressin'
 But no option but election can account for our protection
 Godly direction or perfected bodily resurrection, yo!
 Don't let the thinking of modern men fool ya
 God does what He wants- that's what it means to be Sovereign Ruler
 It's deep but not complicated- with complete confidence I'll state it:
 Peep it- it's how God has always operated
 He's the greatest, fam- His amazing plan made His hand
 Save the man Abraham from a pagan land
 Who can argue with the people that God chooses?
 Israel and not Egypt, Peter and not Judas
 Humanly speaking, it should have been Saul and not David
 The inheritance should have been Esau's and not Jacob's
 The truth it speaks brightly so you can see rightly
 A huge, mighty God who chooses the least likely
 Still some contest it as a phony doctrine
 But if we're really dead in sin, predestination is the only option
 With reservations they fume inside
 There's hesitation because it's devastating to human pride
 This truth is the sober kind that you're prone to find
 In passages like Romans 9- it's so divine it'll blow your mind
 We are the clay and we've been formed by the Potter
 None can come to the Son unless they're drawn by the Father
 "But God draws everybody" That's what some cats say
 It can't be that way because all who are drawn are raised on the last day
 Because of original sin and all of our despicable deadness within
 Election must be unconditional then
 Some people say that we were drowning in the ocean
 Barely floating until God threw us the rope then
 Our free will helped us as we groped
 Our faith is the hand that grabbed the rope and God put us back in the boat
 Nope! Without apology I deny that analogy
 Reality- we were dead at the bottom of the sea
 I was a swollen corpse with hope no more
 Until Jehovah the LORD dove from the shore to the ocean floor
 Yeah, I was a corpse and I smelled like it
 I'll keep it simple, why did God choose me? Because He felt like it!
 He brought me out, not an act of my volition
 Breathed life into my lungs and didn't ask for my permission
 Throughout the Bible there's major examples of this
 Pages of passages like the raising of Lazarus
 Rather than debating the Master's gift
 We should be happily praising His magnanimous saving of savages
 It's time we see God's sovereignty and His primacy
 His holy dynasty running things by divine decree
 Why does He choose some and not others to see Jesus?
 Our God is in the heavens- He does whatever He pleases!
