Don’t Try Lyrics by Illijam

Ironic Bombs

2016

[Hook]
You know my Jesus? He got power got complete control/
Though we ain't robots he's Gepetto over every soul/
Nations are pawns; nature bow down every molecule/
All of our pain & the devil & the demons are subject to His sovereign rule so/
Don't try to tell me what my father can't turn into good/ 3x
Don't even bother; He already said that He would/

[Verse 1]
They view the whole world with assumptions that discount/
The possibility of an almighty being with absolute clout/
To them everything seems random, at best God really means well/
But He ain't strong enough though He got a lot of love so everything went to Hell/
But that's false! Their only standard for what they think is themselves/
And everybody can't be right one of us in a fantasy world like Elf/
Buddy, some folks will say bruh you just gotta do you/
But when it comes to God & life only the Bible tells us what's true/
I ain't tryna minimize devastation when I tell em God is Sovereign/
But if He ain't sovereign over suffering He's subject to it: that's a problem:
I've been through pain maybe
Not like yours I
Ain't in no ivory tower/
Through it all God is all-loving, all-wise, and He has absolute power/
My God will always fulfill all his purposes; no one can thwart His will you can be sure of this/
Your destiny ain't in anyone's hands, except for the Lord and He's working His plans/
Don't need cooperation to conduct His will, He's used the Hitler's of old for His glory still/
Know it's perplexing, we gotta have faith; our good and His glory are really quite safe/

[Verse 2]
Now the faithless never will see it, all they see's a bomb/
Buta buta if we hold on, we're gonna see beauty before long/
Remember when Lazarus died? And Martha and Mary were mourning?/
But Jesus said do not despair, if you believe you'll see God's glory/
If you believe, you'll see God's glory if you don't then you'll be bitter/
The way we doubt our Dad and think we know better is quite immature/
Behind a frowning Providence he hides a smiling face/
But we doubt and trust our common sense (what's that?):Fisher-Price faith/
So allow me to clarify, heart, what you mean, God's limited by my understanding?/
His ways are higher than mine, except when I cannot perceive?/
God's all I need when He's blessing me, but in tragedy He ain't enough?/
So when calamity comes, I angrily run, and say He screwed everything up?/
Man bump that, insane injustice was endured by Jesus/
Perfect creator callously killed on the Cross by His criminal creatures/
There's been no worse pain, shame, or darkness, no worse bomb in human history/
God took that made the best good ever when he saved us: (ironic bombs) a beautiful misery/
