Total Depravity (Stephen Brindle)

Let me expose this tragedy called total depravity

We're all rotten and we're showin our cavities

Our nature's corrupt cause Adam in Genesis

Sin is the nemesis it has no benefits

We've got poisoned tongues, none is good, not even one

You beg to differ son, take a look at Romans 1

18 thru 32 check the dirt we do

Your flesh is familiar like, 'yeah, I've heard of you.'

From our mothers wombs we've all gone astray

Our thoughts are consumed by our own rotten way

Man's heart is deceitful, it's wicked and evil

We're radically corrupt ' the feeblest people

Examples ' sex channels, sex scandals, wretched vandals,

...the bible's mishandled

if not for the Holy Spirit intervenin' '

we'd still be slave to satan and his demon's



Unconditional Election (Apologist)

He will gather His elect from the corners of the earth

Its the Father who selects who receives the new birth

By the power of the Spirit it is all in conjunction

life, death and resurrection of the one who was unction

I was dead in trespasses now I'm free and adopted

as son I was given a garanteed deposit

The Ruwach was hovering on the waters in creation

my Shield and Covering You drew me to salvation

Predestined by The LORD before things were made

I still cannot fathom I was chosen to be saved

The Father gave The Son a group from every race

The Spirit made them come to be hooked by his grace

This skeptic was elected, redeemed and resurrected

so the Glory of my GOD in my life can be reflected

Imputated righteousness the beginning of perfection

the doctrine I spouse is Unconditional Election.



Limited Atonement (Spoken Word)

The third part of the T.U.L.I.P. ' Limited Atonement

is often disputed ' many don't condone it.

But since atonement really atones men '

then how are all atoned when in in Hell some are thrown in'

Let's for a moment check behind the verses

John 17:9 you'll see divine purchase '

blood to affect a foul nation

love directed to the elect for salvation!

All of whom the Father placed in His plan

Predistened ' Christ died for the saints in His hand!

Take the words of Christ spoken ' behold he

prays not for the world ' but dies for the chosen only

So, when He rose from grave ' he fulfilled His mission

sealin the Christians 'forchose' to be saved.

So, redemption precedes faith'

And when grace is imparted to the elect ' they respond and accept



Irresistable Grace (Q-D.O.G.)

No one can come to Christ unless the Father draws Him...like an artist

See God is the cause of the hardest

heart that's Godless that regards Him not that's darkened

like car jackers in a parkin lot ' He's sparkin '

this life within, cause lifeless men are Christless

can't find Him without His light within!

But this grace ain't 'prevenient' what I mean is

we weren't born with something in our soul to make conversion convenient

We was 'dead in sin' ' born a spiritual Lazarous

to say he helped raise himself ' we would laugh at this!

Like the notion God is 'open' and He's hopin' that He's chosen

'NO ONE SEEKS GOD' ' read the quote in

Romans 3:11 ' see our inception in Christ

is cause God stepped in and raised us to life!

There's no question that His 'Grace' made us ripe for this selection

by election to life we receive Christ and accept Him!

So, without resurrection ' we're bound to a will to reject Him

unless God grants an 'Irresistible' exception!



Perseverance of the Saints (Evangel)

We in God's tightest'

grip and we won't slip like His hands cramped with arthritis!

We'll be grasped above to inherit, through His everlasting love

and cherish His sheep shall never perish!

To know when it's over,

we'll persevere because of the Master's P like no limit soldiers!

Thru Christ the debt is paid solely,

the propitiation for our ventilation- that's made holy!

Called us by grace into Your Word's adherence,

authored our faith to see its perseverance!

No mistakable claim,

predestined, called, just and glorified, the unbreakable chain!

Born again not of the seed that will decay,

but indeed guaranteed to believe until the day!

He redeems His purchased possession,

and the Holy Spirit sealed the deal, the church's protection!
