Lyrics start from 0:42 It’ll all fade from your minds as soon as you leave this room When I see you (hahahhaha) praising , dancing your shackles lose bondage peeling from bodies like old scabs making way for new flesh I don’t cast away your change just yet When I see truth and conviction filling your hearts to the point your mouths refuse to hold worship hostage any longer I don’t relent in my pursuit I’d rather ask you. Ask you how many times, you trespass the line you swore you wouldn’t cross divorced the wooden cross and splintered right back inside my palms How many times? has repentance rendered you alabaster when broken A sweet fragrance filled prostrate at the feet of your master then the next day unspill yourself into the posture of whats happening now either you were acting and your back was spasming or your skill that looking humbly remorseful while just tripping and I just witnessed an accident When I find you running, running from yourselves to the altar I allow you to be deceived by the emptiness of your impulsive decisions I just wait because the clock is a snitch my friends. Time will always tell on you If you’re not conscious of how good he is You’ll always forget how bad you are So my fight isn’t to make you sin Your flesh alone is bold enough for that mission My biggest weapon is making you forget with distractions to keep you from being consistent All of you. all of you get a checkup before you check out. See the test is in the visit but the results are in the follow-up the constant return to his essence, being patient in the waiting room of his presence I am no fool I know you fight to avoid the items on God’s thou shall not list so I’m far more strategic (hahhahah) I make your heart's beat for vanity Fleeting beauty the promise of success on a platter the appeal of romance I have you more consumed with being a couple than honouring the trinity more enticed with making love now than making love known seduce you with today to blind you from eternity to make you obsessed with the temporary until you feel evangelism is a job for the leaders in the sanctuary. If I can’t snatch you from your holy flatline then I’ll snatch your desire to snatch souls from mine And you think You think the “I am” needs a … forget about it no really forget about it I am nesia but you may be too comatose to notice and they say God makes no mistakes (hahahaha) ok.. right … so So this blatant form of neglect was intentional How could he mould beings in his image that permit such a flaw How did he forget to make you remember? You would never fall if you had the weight of the law at the forefront of your thoughts. It makes no sense. unless unless it was always his intent maybe he finds some some twisted beauty in the art of forgetting and remembering and and your curse is a gift no no no , he’s sick ...demented genius I assumed it was a broken design but it was his plan to make you like him you are evidence of divine selective memory didn’t God make the rules, when you sin in the end you die I make one bad move and my fate is flame for the while You break his law all your life and just because he is kind miraculously condemnation somehow slips his mind? Looking at you its forensic science and he makes you dust for his finger prints he made you dust face fingerprints his character tailored to fit only the redeemed So it seems easy to walk like the one who passed down his genes Wouldn’t forgiveness be a myth if record or fault couldn’t be erased from your heart some of you some of you who had been abused, mishandled, betrayed Look at you today Somehow you find joy in your God and smile like it never took place You’re forgetting it's a gift You’re forgetting is a gift That must be the reason your yesterdays were buried with the sun So God could resurrect mercies anew in the mornings when it's all said and done He’s always. He’s always remembered his children like those oppressed by the hands of my son Pharaoh or the barren woman he would later call to swaddle a nation's salvation and our heritage Or a thief A thief with robbery still fresh on impaled poems A hanging picture of justice Say “remember me in paradise” God has unearthed his grace in remembering that proves his mercy in forgetting but you you are not holy like him You’re drunk with sin like me…. his enemy what you mean to tell me that the saint has salvation due to God’s voluntary failed memory A judgement When we face the wrath of his presence I want you to remember that your hands your hands were as crimson as my rebellion but he who will cast me into the gut of hell to rot but will tell you that as far as the east is from the west so will I remove your transgressions from you I will shred your inequities underfoot cast your sin into the sea of the forgotten He will welcome you. Welcome you into his rest, kiss you glorified with Alzheimer's Lips because of redemption stained vision he will only see you for who you are then but not for who you were before him the glory of his presence will remind you that every trial I watched you suffer through every war I raged against you till this moment was worth it As he releases you into bliss He will tell you he loves you forever And you’ll never forget it

If you are not aware of how good he is, you will always forget how bad you are. ❤️

I love the concept he brought to life of how Satan hates us because we are forgiven and loved, made in the image of the divine God that kicked him out of Heaven and sentence him to damnation. Maybe that was where God realized His mistake and so that is why He sent Jesus because He knew where we would go would forever hurt Him to see us walk a path toward such hell. But it was never a mistake (because Luicifer was an angel not man) it was only destined to happen. Lucifier made a fool of himself to try and de-throne his Creator and suffered the consequences.
