2 great songs - lyrics only

I'm not a huge Disciple fan - but I heard this song this morning on Yes FM and loved the lyrics.  It's called Dear Ex.

Dear Pain, oh it's been a long time
Remember when you were holding me tight
I would stay awake with you all night
Dear Shame, I was safe in your arms
You were there when it all fell apart
I would get so lost in your beautiful lies
I let you go

Go ahead
You're never gonna take me
You can bend
But you're never gonna break me
I was yours
I'm not yours anymore
Oh, you don't own me

Dear hate, I know you're not far
You would wait at the door of my heart
I was amazed at the passion in your cries
Dear anger, you made me so high
You were faithful to show up on time
Such a flame that was burning in your eyes
I let you go
But you're still chasing

Go ahead
You're never gonna take me
You can bend
But you're never gonna break me
I was yours
But I'm not yours anymore
Oh, you don't own me

Go ahead
Put a target on my forehead
You can fire
But you've got no bullet
I was yours
But I'm not yours anymore
Oh, you don't own me

You tempted me to look back
But everything that we had together was a lie

Go ahead
You're never gonna take me
You can bend
But you're never gonna break me
I was yours
But I'm not yours anymore

ETC on chorus :-)  (too lazy to re-type it all again!)



Next is a rap song.  Have I mentioned before how much I love Christian rap?  Good Christian rap.  LeCrae is one of the best.  This is one of his newest - it's called Background.

Hook:
I could play the background
I could play the background
'Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
So, won't you take the lead, lead, lead?
So won't you take the lead, lead, lead?
And I could play the background, background
And you could take the lead

Verse 1:
It's evident you run the show, so let me back down
You take the leading role, and I'll play the background
I know I miss my cues, know I forget my lines
I'm sticking to your script, and I'm reading all your signs
I don't need my name in lights, I don't need a starring role
Why gain the whole wide world, if I'm just gonna lose my soul?
And my ways ain't purified, don't live according to your Word
I can't endure this life without your wisdom being heard
So word to every dancer to a pop star
'Cause we all play the background, but mine's a rockstar
Yeah, so if you need me I'll be stage right
Praying the whole world would start embracing stage fright
So let me fall back, stop giving my suggestions
'Cause when I follow my obsessions, I end up confessin'
That I'm not that impressive, matter of fact
I'm who I are, a trail of stardust leading to the superstar

Hook

Verse 2:
Yo, I had a dream that I was captain of my soul
I was master of my fate, lost control, and then I sank
So I don't want to take the lead, 'cause I'm prone to make mistakes
All these folks who follow me, goin' end up in the wrong place
So just let me shadow you, just let me trace your lines
Matter of fact, just take my pen, here, you create my rhymes
'Cause if I do this by myself, I'm scared that I'll succeed
And no longer trust in you, 'cause I only trust in me
And see, that's how you end up headed to destruction
Paving a road to nowhere, pour your life out for nothin'
You pulled my card, I'm bluffin', You know what's in my hand
Me, I just roll and trust You, You cause the dice to land
I'm in control of nothin', follow You at any cost
Some call it sovereign will, all I know is You the boss
And man, I'm so at ease, I'm so content
I'll play the background, like it's an instrument


Hook

Bridge:
I know I'm safest when I'm in Your will, and trust Your Word
I know I'm dangerous when I trust myself, my vision blurred
And I ain't got no time to play life's foolish games, 
Got plenty aims, but do they really glorify Your name?
And it's a shame, the way I want to do these things for you
Don't even cling to You, take time to sit and glean from You
It seems like You were patience in my ignorance, 
If ignorance is bliss, it's cause she never heard of this

Hook
