Radical Prayer

The definition of the word "radical"
Comes from the Latin, "radix"
Meaning "the root"
And when you live from your deepest center
You live radically

What do I do to be radical?
Pray!
How do I do to be radical?
Pray!
What do I need to be radical?
Pray!
What does it mean to be radical?
(I love Chris Rich)

This ain't no prayer mechanical
Relight your candle
And rewrite a canticle
More like a catapult
Throwing you off of your comfortable attitude
Showing you how to discover the latitudes
That you just never seen, heard of, or thought of befo'
This ain't about memorizing up all the beatitudes
Or all the commandments you broke
Where do you put your hope?
Is it in God or in how are you gonna cope?
I'm putting prayer up under the microscope
Is it in really reciting a creed and fulfilling your needs?
(Nope!)
Is it in living the creed and forgetting your needs
For the people in need? (Close)
Isn't it odd? God took an oath, and He chose (Both!)
Flesh and spirit, how do we live it?
Let's take a vote
Radical sacrifice, am I the G.O.A.T?
Or is it God? Get on his boat cuz the storm
That this prayer is bringing afloat (yes!)
God in control, but he's never remote (blessed!)
God never broke, but he's going for broke (test!)
This is a radical's radical prayer!

Prayer is more about giving yourself away
Than counting how many times you sin a day
Well, okay now, what am I to say?
When I count how much I've been loved today
By my God!

What do I do to be radical?
Pray!
How do I do to be radical?
Pray!
What do I need to be radical?
Pray!
What does it mean to be radical?

Hey!
Let me just plant a seed
If you concede
That the Word of God
Has a power indeed
That we can't control
Or really see
But that same Spirit that wrote it all showed me to read

Let me ask you lIke 21 questions
The Passion? the Death? Resurrection? Ascension?
Class in session, tension between what I do and what I mention
This is what repentance looks like
Got a hard verse but the hook's nice
An epic narrative like a book right
Gotta cook right, but I followed the recipe wrong cuz I could right
Then again, I took flight (good night!)
Taking off a big bite (good bite!)
This is but a "Thank You" letter to God with the letters of God
'Bout to lose beef "Mardi Gras"
From Alpha to Omega
Feeling like an alpha when I'm all paid up
Really more Alfalfa when I'm rascaled up
That is what they call the Paschal what? Mystery
You're missing convincing me history don't repeat itself
Misery don't compete to sell
More views and clickbait, more news but real fake
I break the mold, the old, behold the new
The only truly true Good News
Let me take one take for Christ's sake like

Prayer is more 'bout giving God the victory
"For God alone is the only one Holy"
See there's "no longer me but He that lives in me"
Down to my core, what more You want me to be?
My God

(Pray!)
