I'm A Saint lyrics

Yeah they tell me sugar coat it, dumb it down but I can't

Might as well deny the Christ and be ashamed but I ain't, I'm a saint

Til the day I see the grave I'm going hard in the paint

It's the only hope we got dats why I'll die for the faith, I'm a saint

Used to be where I could only trust me and myself

And then that heavy metal devil that could send 'em straight to hell wit it

Thought it was no helping it, my selfishness was celibate, I sell a bit

But I make sure I don't sit up in that cell a bit

I'd yell a bit but only when hurt came for certain

Illiterate ain't know that the word came

But then that that light hit me and unblinded me

Jesus paid a price me

That's how I gained the right to be the son of God I'd like to be

Changed my heart and gave me I desire for his work mayne

Kill me if you want but I'm gone get back out that dirt mayne

Not yet what I'm gonna be but not what I used to be

Bless his name forever who would chose me and start using me

Used to love my sinning fulla greed, fulla hate

I might say that I love Jesus, but that talk was really fake

I'd be lustin' for ya cousin, if it wasn't for his Grace

Yeah he took me outta nothin', and he made ya boy a saint

You got to understand, Jesus agreed back in eternity, to sign a bloody covenant and take a deadly turn for me

He ain't just agree, he fulfilled it to the death of em'

He took that bloody cup that's meant for us straight to the neck

And yeah he swallowed all that bitterness

That pain and affliction

Ain't a soul in hell with pain comparable to this one

Brought me to repentance, homie I'm blood purchased

And daily I'm conformed to his holiness, so I worship

Jesus finished the work, He resurrected on high

That means he beat death and best believe so will I

See some believe they can fly, but I believe I can die

Resurrect leave the earth, and live forever with God

He will march through the sky while the stars sing his praises

The planets dance around and the universe is amazed

And me I get to gaze upon his beauty for days

Man, if I could be anything baby I'd be a saint

You might think I'm crazy, like some kinda urban misfit

But first I hated church, I'd only pray to give my wish list

I'd be just like you, doing my dougie in the club folk

I promise I ain't it choose it I was chosen to loved on

Eyes low, blowing dro, that's the life I used to know

but Jesus chopped me up and slowed me down just like that Houston flow

A dead man until somebody hit me with the hardest facts

The Gospel hit my heart, I guess that's what you call a heart attack

I'm looking at Ephesians 2 like what did Jesus see in you, nothin'

By his grace he chose to love on folk like me and you

and I don't understand it homie, I neva planned it

I was chasing money and fast women and man, then I met the great I am, Son of Man, or The Lamb

Snatched ya boy up outta hell, and got working for his plans

Used think I was the man, 'til I met 'em

all that arrogance and pride, I dead 'em and foget 'em

I'm a SAINT!
