[Spoken Word: Judah Smith, Lana Del Rey]
~#**************#~
Dont you understand what that means?
~#**************#~
It means quit lusting after your neighbor
~#**************#~
Thats a heck of a life
~#**************#~
You get to love your children in front of you
~#**************#~
You get to love
~#**************#~
You ever talk to somebody
~#**************#~
“I want a new life”
~#**************#~
“I dont love my wife anymore”
~#**************#~
“I dont love my kids anymore”
~#**************#~
“Im missing out on life”
~#**************#~
Theyre usually my age
~#**************#~
Does that sound like love?
~#**************#~
Its a life dominated with lust
~#**************#~
And for too long, theyve been holding it off
~#**************#~
And finally, they just get weak and they say
~#**************#~
“It doesnt matter anymore”
~#**************#~
And the Spirit of God says
~#**************#~
“Ill infuse you with dеsires for what you have
~#**************#~
And whats in front of you” (Yeah, yеah, yeah)
~#**************#~
(Desires for what you have)
~#**************#~
So, as He works deep in your heart
~#**************#~
As you call out to Him and say
~#**************#~
“Im here, do it in me, Man”
~#**************#~
“Help me want what I got”
~#**************#~
“Help me love whats in front of me”
~#**************#~
“Help me want more of my wife and more of my friends”
~#**************#~
“And help me serve the city I live in and not wish it away and hope I can move”
~#**************#~
“Help me, God”
~#**************#~
“I wanna be a man of love, not a man of lust”
~#**************#~
But youve gotta do that
~#**************#~
So I bring you to this verse and Im done, Im done
~#**************#~
Psalms, chapter eight
~#**************#~
And you know where I got this verse?
~#**************#~
This is gonna sound crazy to you, but Im gonna tell you the absolute truth
~#**************#~
Its gonna make me sound so spiritual, so Im looking forward to it
~#**************#~
I woke up this morning and God said, “Check the Bible app”
~#**************#~
I dont know if it was God, but it felt like God
~#**************#~
And I had the thought in my head, “Check the Bible app”
~#**************#~
Im gonna speak to you from the verse of the day
~#**************#~
That means I dont have to do anything
~#**************#~
I dont have to look anywhere, I just get the verse of the day
~#**************#~
So I get to the verse of the day
~#**************#~
And heres the verse of the day, today, in the Bible app
~#**************#~
Look at this (Thats cool)
~#**************#~
“Look at the splendor of the skies
~#**************#~
Your creative genius glowing in the heavens
~#**************#~
When I gaze, when I gaze at Your moon and Your stars
~#**************#~
Mounted like jewels in their settings
~#**************#~
I know You are the fascinating artist who fashioned it all”
~#**************#~
When I look up and I see such wonder and workmanship above
~#**************#~
“I have to ask this question”
~#**************#~
“Ive gotta ask this question”
~#**************#~
Compared to all this cosmic glory
~#**************#~
“Why would you ever bother with puny, mortal man?” or be
~#**************#~
Ooh, dont get me started on it
~#**************#~
I could preach for another hour on infatuated
~#**************#~
Or be infatuated with Adams son
~#**************#~
“Why are you so infatuated with me?”
~#**************#~
Youre the star creator, Youre the ocean maker (Yeah, yeah)
~#**************#~
Youre the whale creator, youre the rhino designer
~#**************#~
Who, who are you? (Rhino designer)
~#**************#~
And then it goes on in verse five
~#**************#~
And it says
~#**************#~
“Yet, what honor You have given to me
~#**************#~
Created only a little lower than Elohim”
~#**************#~
Which is the name of Creator God, Artist God
~#**************#~
You wanna call God “Artist”?
~#**************#~
At some point tonight, before you go to bed, go, “Yo, Elohim”
~#**************#~
And Hell hear, “Youre the best Artist ever”
~#**************#~
“The little Elohim, crowned like kings and queens with glory and magnificence
~#**************#~
You have delighted, You have delegated to them
~#**************#~
Mastery over all You have made”
~#**************#~
You have made me a partner with You
~#**************#~
I used to think my preaching was mostly about You
~#**************#~
And youre not gonna like this, but Im gonna tell you the truth
~#**************#~
Ive discovered my preaching is mostly about me
