I did it for you - lecrae

i'm doing it for you

(in case some people may be wondering why i post a rewritten song)

I'm doing it for you
I'm doing it for you
I'm doing it for you
That's why I'm doing it ya'll
For all the listeners
Whoever be reading this
That's why I do what I do
I'm doing it for you

Single man low income riding the bus
Big ego making a fuss saying in God he trusts
Living a life that's in a tailspin
He don't realize that his mind's all engulfed in sin
Ladies on the corner asking him if he's down
Sin's a bullet that'll leaves you in the ground
By 35 he's locked up and spiritually dead
To busy playing around never looking ahead
Everyday he gets upset and cry
Turn his head towards the sky trying to ask God why
But he never looked up till then
Every other day he's concerned with the world and consumed in sin
Not Christ just heaven he wants
He thinks clean means not trying to sling things out of a trunk
Nobody ever to him heaven was spotless and he's all dirty
That's why he needs a Holy God to wash him

I'm doing it for you
I'm opening up and share my life
So that you can see we all need Christ
I'm doing it for you
If you can understand my pain
Maybe you can see we all need change
I'm doing it for you
Can view my life, my pain, my hurt
Man I hope this work
I'm doing it for you
Since Christ died for sin
I'll never be the same again
I'm doing it for you

Young dude, I remember coming home after school
Changing channels from videos back to cartoons
Up late hiding the pictures under my bed
So momma wouldn't see some of the thing i read
And it wasn't all bad but it wasn't all good
Even though momma was doing the best she could
I was a latchkey home alone for hours
Entertaining my sin And my soul devour
Pick up a porn magazine at the age of 12
It can't be said my momma didn't raise me well
I was a drug baby my momma drug me to church
Hated ever minute of it but she prayed it would work
I never knew my daddy so I feel all empty
Wondered why he never teachs me or if he even he loved me
And momma under legalistic teachings and lies
So she beat me and she tell me it was to keep me alive
a typical youth I mean A typical youth 16 lost and looking for truth
I lived for myself, No one ever told me the plan
God had to bring redemption to a fallible man
Good news really wasn't good news to me
Cause I never knew the condemnation due to me
And I wish somebody would of told me then
What it meant to know Christ and to be born again

I'm doing it for you
I'm opening up and share my life
So that you can see we all need Christ
I'm doing it for you
If you can understand my pain
Maybe you can see we all need change
I'm doing it for you
Can view my life, my pain, my hurt
Man I hope this work
I'm doing it for you
Since Christ died for sin
I'll never be the same again
I'm doing it for you

They say Mac got saved and X is a Christian
Well I don't really know them but I pray they both listen
It's hard trying to grow up in a sinful land
And you don't have an example of a Godly man
Well hold on; just keep your eyes on Christ
When we enter in the world, man our lives alright
They say heaven has a ghetto but that ain't true
And if God has a standard then that ain't you and that ain't me
That's what I learned late one night when a man named Rick Stewart changed my life
He told me that Christ paid the price for sin
Every lie I ever told Christ died for them
See, I never knew I offended God I just knew I really wasn't trying to live for God
And my sins all cost me, Yeah pretty costly
I couldn't blame the hood for the death sin bought me
All that I could do was blame myself and realize there was no way I could change myself
So I trusted Christ with my lustful life
And he saved me that's why I am trying to touch the mic
Yeah so if you ask who I am spitting this to, that's right ya'll I'm doing it for you
And if you ask who I have written this to, that's right ya'll I'm doing it for you

I'm doing it for you
I'm opening up and share my life
So that you can see we all need Christ
I'm doing it for you
If you can understand my pain
Maybe you can see we all need change
I'm doing it for you
Can view my life, my pain, my hurt
Man I hope this work
I'm doing it for you
Since Christ died for sin
I'll never be the same again
I'm doing it for you

I'm doing it for you, I'm doing it for you
So I could show you that his grace is right here for you
I'm doing it for you, I'm doing it for you
So I could show you that his grace is right here for you
I'm doing it for you

the house that built me- miranda lambert

the church that made me

(this was from a few years ago)

I know they say you can't go home again
I wish I could go back one last time
Pastor, I know you don't know me from Adam
But that middle spot in the second pew was mine
Down that hall in that little back room
Is where I went to Sunday school and I learned the word of God
And I bet you didn't know where this church now
Stands was once my backyard

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here, it's like I'm someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could just come in, I swear I'll leave
Won't take nothin' but a memory
From the church that made me

People prayed for a church out here for years
A man of God came and made a team
Plans were drawn and concrete poured
Nail by nail and board by board
We gave life to those dreams

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here, it's like I'm someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could just come in, I swear I'll leave
Won't take nothin' but a memory
From the church that made me

You leave home, you move on
And you do the best you can
I got lost in this sinful world
And forgot who I am

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here, it's like I'm someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could walk around, I swear I'll leave
Won't take nothin' but a memory
From the church that made me

Thrift Shop - Macklemore

(Hey Ghosty? can we go thrift shopping?)
What, what, what, what
What, what, what, what
What, what, what, what
What, what, what, what
What, what, what, what
What, what, what, what
What, what, what, what
What, what, what, what

I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I, I, I'm hunting, looking for a come-up
This is freaking awesome

I roll up to the church like what up and made everybody stop
I'm just pumped, just bought some stuff from the thrift shop
I'm on the fringe, it's so dang frosty
The people like, Dang! That guy's poor I'm so lucky
Pockets ain't deep, as everyone can see
Dressed in all pink, 'cept my gator shoes, those are green
Draped in a leopard mink is a girl standin' next to me
Probably shoulda washed this, smells like really mean
But man it was ninety-nine cents! (Bag it) Coppin' it, washin' it
'Bout to go and get some compliments
Passin' up on those moccasins someone else's been walkin' in them
Bummy and grungy, nope man, I'm struttin' and stuntin'
And savin' my money and I'm happy that's a bargain
I'm doin it grandpa style, I'ma take your grandpa's style
No for real ask your grandpa can I have his hand-me-downs?
Thank you Lord for this jumpsuit and some house slippers
Deep brown leather jacket that I found diggin'
They had a broken keyboard, I bought a broken keyboard
I bought a cd, blanket, and then I bought a kneeboard
Hello, hello, my ace man, my Miller
John Wayne ainā€™t got nothing on my fringe game, no
I could take some Pro Wings, make them cool, sell those
The sneaker heads would be like Aw, he got the Velcros

I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I, I, I'm hunting, looking for a come-up
This is freaking awesome
I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I, I, I'm hunting, looking for a come-up
This is freaking awesome

What you know about rockin' a wolf on your noggin?
What you knowin' about wearin' a fur fox skin?
I'm digging, I'm digging, I'm searching right through that luggage
One man's trash, that's another man's come up
Thank your granddad for donating that plaid button-up shirt
'Cause right now I need a warm shirt
I'm at the Goodwill, you can find me in the back
I'm that, I'm that sucker searchin' in that section
Your grammy, your aunty, your momma, your mammy
Iā€™ll take those flannel zebra jammies, second-hand, the ones that itch
The built-in onesie with the socks
I hit the prayer meeting and they pray I'll be rich
They're like, Oh, that Gucci. That's so tight
I'm like, Yo that's fifty dollars for a T-shirt
Limited edition, let's do some simple addition
Fifty dollars for a T-shirt, that's just ignorant
I call that getting swindled and pimped
I call that getting tricked by a business
That shirt may be dope
But having the same one as six other people in this church I won't
Looking at life from the wrong end of a telescope
You think you're closer to God cause of a brand
But me, I don't
But me, I don't
I'm at Goodwill popping tags

I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I, I, I'm hunting, looking for a come-up
This is freaking awesome

I wear your granddad's clothes
I look incredible
I'm in this big old coat
From that thrift shop down the road
I wear your granddad's clothes
I look incredible
I'm in this big old coat
From that thrift shop down the road

I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I, I, I'm hunting, looking for a come-up
This is freaking awesome
(So can I have your grandpa's coat?)

I need a doctor - eminem

I need the Doctor

Ā 

I'm about to lose my mind

Youā€™ve been gone for so long, Iā€™m running outta time

I need the Doctor, call me the Doctor

I needĀ  the Doctor, Doctor to bring me back to life

Ā 

I told Worthy one day I would make it back

Say it on tape, and lay it, record it so that one day I could play it back

Now I donā€™t even know if I believe it when I'm saying that

Doubts starting to creep in, every day it's just so grey and black

Hope, I just need a ray of that, cause no one know my sins

When I say it for em, they just say it's faith I lack , but they donā€™t know what my sin is

And I donā€™t know if I was awake or asleep when I wrote this

All I know is you came to me when I was at my lowest

You picked me up, breathed new life in me, I owe my life to you

But for the life of me, I don't see why you don't see like I do

But it just dawned on me you lost the battle, demons fighting you, itā€™s dark

Let me turn on the Light and brighten me and enlighten you

I don't think you realize what you mean to me, not the slightest clue

Cause me and you were like a crew, I was like your sidekick dude

You going either wanna fight when I get off this mic

Or you're going hug me, but I'm outta options, there's nothing else I can do cause

Ā 

I'm about to lose my mind

Youā€™ve been gone for so long, Iā€™m running outta time

I need the Doctor, call me the Doctor

I needĀ  the Doctor, Doctor to bring me back to life

Ā 

It hurts when I see you struggle, you come to me with ideas

You say they're just pieces, so Iā€™m puzzled, 'Cause the stuff I hear is crazy

But you're either getting lazy or you donā€™t believe in you no more

Seems like your own opinions, not one you can form

Can't make a decision you keep questioning yourself

Second guessing and it's almost like your begging for my help

Like Iā€™m your leader, but you're supposed to be my mentor

I can endure no more I demand you remember who you are!

It was YOU, who believed in me when everyone was telling

You don't hang with me, let's tell the truth

You risked your friends for me, I know it as well as you

Only some wanted to talk with the banned boy, Dog, Iā€™m crying in this booth

You saved my life, now maybe it's my turn to save yours

But I can never repay you, what you did for me is way more

But I ain't giving up faith so don't you dare give up on me

Get up Dog I'm dying, I need you, come back for Pete's sake, cause

Ā 

I'm about to lose my mind

Youā€™ve been gone for so long, Iā€™m running outta time

I need the Doctor, call me the Doctor

I needĀ  the Doctor, Doctor to bring me back to life

Ā 

Bring me back to life

Bring me back to life

Ā 

(I need the Doctor, Doctor to bring me back to life)

Ā 

(Ghostdog)

It literally feels like a lifetime ago

But I still remember everything like it was just yesterday, though

I came in, owned the whole room cracking jokes

Once I got in trouble ,banned me, like smoke

Went through friends, some of them I put on, but they just left

They said they was riding to the death, but where are they now?

Now that I need them, I don't see none of them

All I see is God, bunch fair-weather friends, all I need is Him

All my demons, when the chips were down they just laughed at me

Now they're bout to feel the wrath of the aftermath

They going see me in my lab jacket and ask me where have I been?

Making my way back but I'm not back yet

One more restart and Iā€™m packing up my bags and as Iā€™m leaving

Iā€™ll guarantee demons scream, "Dog, donā€™t leave us like that man!" cause

Ā 

I'm about to lose my mind

Youā€™ve been gone for so long, Iā€™m runnin' outta time

I need the Doctor, call me the Doctor

I needĀ  the Doctor, Doctor to bring me back to life

this is a repost

outlaw and renegades - gretchen wilson

Ā 

Well, just the other day I was driving down the road
And I was listening to the stuff coming out the christian radio
Well, I didn't recognize a single song or none of the names
But it didn't really matter 'cause they all seemed to sound the same

Where's all the outlaws and renegades?
The Lord knows, I miss those days
When they said what they were taught
What they taught was what was in the Book
Did all the outlaws and renegades
Pack up and go home?
I guess the outlaw and renegade days have gone

Well, I got home and I turned on christian TV
And you won't believe what some preacher was trying to tell me
He said there's many ways to God, Jesus didn't need to die
I turned it off and didn't know if I should laugh or cry

Oh, Where's all the outlaws and renegades?
The Lord knows, I miss those days
When they said what they were taught
What they taught was what was in the Book
Did all the outlaws and renegades
Pack up and go home?
I guess the outlaw and renegade days have gone

Oh, Where's all the outlaws and renegades?
The Lord knows, I miss those days
When they said what they were taught
What they taught was what was in the Book
Did all the outlaws and renegades
Pack up and go home?
I guess the outlaw and renegade days have gone
Yeah, I guess the outlaw and renegade days have gone
Just gone

I'm talking about DC Talk, Carman not CCM
Give us back Billy Graham

who i am - citizen soldier

As these judging eyes surround me
And silence tearing me apart
Only seeing to the surface
They refuse to see my heart
In this mould that they have made me
Tried so hard to fit in tight
Every day's a punishment
For being Christian but the wrong kind
All their heavy words I carry
Try to grind them down to dust
But the pile's getting so deep
Pretty soon a decision is a must
I see two paths that sit before me
The decision's mine to make
Do I wear the mask and follow
And pay the price of bŠµing fake?

These wounds aren't healing
And I am scared to death
That I'll look into the mirror
And believe the things they've said
No I wasn't ready for the shame so heavy, maybe they will never understand
Can't keep facing this fire, I'm just so tired
Of being who I am

No need to say that I'm immoral
No need to tell me I'm a freak
Don't waste your breath, you made that more than clear
In the way you looked at me
The only choices that you give me
Two different posts you want to see
Then you say I'm being fake
I can't myself but be real

These wounds aren't healing
And I am scared to death
That I'll look into the mirror
And believe the things they've said
No I wasn't ready for the shame so heavy, maybe they will never understand
Can't keep facing this fire, I'm just so tired
Of being who I am

God i'm feeling low - sik world

(Dear God I know I shouldn't live by my feelings
But the facts right now hurt to much)

Inside my mind going back and forth
Every single night I ask the Lord
Will he take all these grey clouds away
Cuz when it rain I can't stand the storm
Trauma's a pain that I can't ignore
No drive for days, I'm a crashing course
I tryna fight off my addiction
I don't know how long I had it for
But I had it long enough to know that
It is apart of me
They say get over it as if it isn't hard for me
As if I didn't hear it from everybody else
Giving me their opinion on everything
They feel is wrong with me
These highs and low, taken a toll
I can't control, my feelings now
I just don't know, how long I'll go
Way down this road, I'm feeling down
I make a rewrite so they feel me now
Just cuz you exist, don't mean you're alive
And I realized this, as time passes by
I can't call it quits, I quit every-time
I need to resist, this feeling inside
I wish my pain would leave and just exit
Maybe I didn't earned my lesson
God I feel we're disconnected, cuz

God I'm feeling low, low, low
I'm feeling low, don't know where to go, oh
God I'm feeling low, low, low
I'm tired of the pain, wish I could go away, ay

I tell myself that I got this
Then tell myself that I can't do this
Tearing down my spirit
Now I'm in my feelings
Man, when am I gunna stop this
These voices in my head, do hit for sure
Comparing myself till I'm insecure
It hits me the worse when I'm feeling doubt
I'm locked in my thoughts
There's no getting out
It's a toxic cycle that I can't break
To paralyze to move, so then I just wait
Till the pressure crushes me with all of this weight
Trust me I tried to run but I can't escape
Satan's always throwing my past in my face
Porns like a potent drug, just to numb my pain
I tried to open up, to the one I date
Just to get broken up, yo what a mistake

God I'm feeling low, low, low
I'm feeling low, don't know where to go, oh
God I'm feeling low, low, low
I'm tired of the pain, wish I could go away, ay

I pray the Lord my soul to keep
This night mare isn't what I dreamed
I cross my hands, in agony
I pray, I pray, oh

Everybody's an outlaw - bryan martin

Every Christian's an outlaw

I was raised up under a simple man
I grew up with a Bible in my hand
Taught me how to love and how to fight
Taught me what's wrong
Taught me what's right
Said one day you're gonna have a choice to choose
Stick close to God and you won't ever lose
Just remember even when I'm dead and gone

Stick to your guns, son
Make me proud
Don't ever back up, don't ever back down
Stand your ground and always call sin for what it is
Cause this life can be real tough
You protect your heart and always call Satan's bluff
Don't think in this world, your fittin' in
Cause every Christian's an outlaw

Well the times have changed but not for me
Heaven's gonna be my home along with my new family
Two calloused knees and back to my roots
I tell new babes every time
Try to see the world through loving eyes
And lead people to Christ if you can

Stick to your guns, son
Make me proud
Don't ever back up, don't ever back down
Stand your ground and always call sin for what it is
Cause this life can be real tough
You protect your heart and always call Satan's bluff
Don't think in this world, your fittin' in
Cause every Christian's an outlaw

Stick to your guns, son
Make me proud
Don't ever back up, don't ever back down
Stand your ground and always call sin for what it is
Cause this life can be real tough
You protect your heart and always call Satan's bluff
Don't think in this world, your fittin' in
Cause every Christian's an outlaw

I was raised up under a simple man
I grew up with a Bible in my hand

the ride - david allen coe

Well, I was comin' back from sinning
I had a lot of guilt on my back
When a stranger stopped beside me in an antique Cadillac
He was dressed like 1950
Seemed drunk and hollow-eyed
He said, "It's a long walk back to God's throne
Would you like a ride, son?"
I sat down in the front seat, he turned on the radio
And them old songs comin' out of them speakers
Was gospel songs of old
Then I noticed the stranger was ghost-white pale
When he asked me for a light
And I knew there was something strange about this ride

He said, "Christian, do you still cry when you play with sin?
Jesus paid your dues, His blood you can use
So let your heartsong sing"
He said, "Boy, can you feel that fire God placed inside?
'Cause if you're gold street bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride"

Then he stopped just outside of God's throne
And he turned that car around
He said, "This is where you get off, boy
'Cause I'm goin' back to guide another man'"
As I stepped out of that Cadillac
I said, "Mister, I apperiate it really "
He said, "You don't have to call me Mister, Mister
The whole world called me Billy"

He said, "Christian, do you still cry when you play with sin?
Jesus paid your dues, His blood you can use
So let your heartsong sing"
He said, "Boy, can you feel that fire God placed inside?
'Cause if you're gold street bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride"

He said, "Christian, do you still cry when you play with sin?
Jesus paid your dues, His blood you can use
So let your heartsong sing"
He said, "Boy, can you feel that fire God placed inside?
'Cause if you're gold street bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride"
If you're gold street bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride
