Slave for Christ

Locked in chains but chalked and stained

With the blood of Jesus Christ, so what do I have to gain?

Not this world, but to die, so if I’m soaring like a plane

In the end I’ll crash and burn, be sore and filled with pain

It’s plain to see like a Pharisee

 I only go so far, “it’s not fair” we scream

But God wants my all, put my whole heart in it

Then this hole in my heart Jesus Christ will fill it

Slay me now, lay me down, down at Your feet I cast my crown

Cuz I’m sick of throwing hits but missing the ball like Charlie Brown

Dead tired cuz I’m wired to live for God, on fire

Flame on like Johnny Storm, I’ll stop the swarm, a ceasefire

 

Yeah, I wanna be a slave for Christ

God, I’m crying, save me from this life

Cuz I want confidence to say that if I die tonight

That it wasn’t in vain, I was living right

So God please take full control of my life

Cuz my desire is to be a slave for Christ

 

One thing I noticed, I can be so self-focused

So I’ll revolt against my flesh like a protest

I was revolting like protists, and I was so free-living

I was barely alive cuz I was only giving

Some of my effort, the sum of my efforts

Could living a half-life keep me happy? Never!

Hand-cuffed by Christ, and I don’t wanna resist

A full life apart from Him? Like Half-life 3, it don’t exist

Funny the irony of an on-fire me

Is that I’m his slave, but I’m living in harmony

Jokes on you, cuz I’m feeling so free

God says “All things are made by me and for me”

 

Yeah, I wanna be a slave for Christ

God, I’m crying, save me from this life

Cuz I want confidence to say that if I die tonight

That it wasn’t in vain, I was living right

So God please take full control of my life

Cuz my desire is to be a slave for Christ

 

They say living for Christ can be real scary

But my faith should be just like the treasure that’s buried

I’m all in like Lifehouse, I’m calling on my lighthouse

But Satan hates disciples, wants to see their light doused

In the thick of the night, losing a fight, I’m hit!

The war’s in my head like Fight Club with Brad Pitt

But with the Spirit I can fight it, this light he ignites it

From inside me, my selfish desire he will smite it

I rise fully awake from this comatose

Chains of lies fully break on this path I’ve chose

The world thinks they’re living fast, but they’ve already died

You might think not but like inception you’re just dreaming inside

 

Yeah, I wanna be a slave for Christ

God, I’m crying, save me from this life

Cuz I want confidence to say that if I die tonight

That it wasn’t in vain, I was living right

So God please take full control of my life

Cuz my desire is to be a slave for Christ

Cuz my desire is to be a slave for Christ

Cuz my desire is to be a slave for Christ

So God please take full control of my life

Cuz my desire is to be a slave for Christ
