Revival

Just left out of worship tryna figure out my purpose
All of them years I was searching and couldn't feel that I was hurting
Pride had me over exerting comparing myself had me thinking I'm worthless
I needed prayers that was urgent, to build my self esteem on the surface
Really been chasing dreams like a current
But you can't maneuver light without the circuit
I'm tryna abide in Him
If He the branch I'm the vine with Him
It was a point in time I would hide from Him
Put the compass down found my guide in Him
I ain't running now unless I ride with Him
Say they punching clocks I'm making time with Him
I was down bad tryna find my way
All these thoughts in my mind made me isolate
Had my flesh grow strong had to consecrate
Put the word on my mind when I contemplate
Look, wise man said it could all be simple
I'm tryna build my wealth instead of temple
And holding my tongue when I feel I offend you
Look, God told me that ain't Christ like
For my sins Christ took on 40 stripes
And He never gave into a compromise
So when satan tempt me with the other side
With my faith I gotta put in double time
Cause I know that I was living dead inside
Had to come alive, cause I really needed revival

I really needed revival
Yeah, said I really needed revival
I had to give up my life
I had to get it all right
I really needed revival
Yeah, said I really needed revival
I really needed revival
I had to give up my life
I had to get it all right
I really needed revival
Yeah, said I really needed revival

Had to get rid of my old ways
Prepared for the Horn like Coltrane
Jesus can take the front stage
Yeah
I had to stop lifting my own name
A substitute for my own pain
When it's one name that can really save
He been breaking chains since the ancient days
He the one that's near when you strayed away
When you feeling fear he can build ya faith
He just want ya heart that's a great exchange
Yeah
Imma lay down idols
If that doctrine ain't in the Bible
Then it's from a rival, strip ya from ya title
Jesus word is vital, save you from a cycle
Too busy living life entitled
Living life in my control and had to let it go I found that's where my pride come from
Moving to the beat of my own drum
Not knowing bout the breath inside my lungs
Can heal a nation or destroy a nation, I'm just waiting for the day ya kingdom come
Spent my whole life telling lies, now I can't hide
He had to break me from chains cause I put my own self in a bind
That was on time, these days I walk by my faith but in my past I was walking so blind
Gave me new eyes, I had to follow the light cause I knew it would give me new life, I Needed revival

I really needed revival
Yeah, said I really needed revival
I had to give up my life
I had to get it all right
I really needed revival
Yeah, said I really needed revival
I really needed revival
I had to give up my life
I had to get it all right
I really needed revival
Yeah, said I really needed revival
