[Intro]
"All means necessary
In order that something practical might succeed"
Lord Jesus Christ, I love Your people
Jesus Christ, I love my brothers
Yeah
This one goes out for all the brothers in Jesus Christ
Who encourage me, support me
Rebuke me, reprove me
Lift me up in prayer, bear my burdens with me
Suffer with me, laugh with me
Cry with me and rejoice
We'll see Christ one day, though
Check it out
Yo, ugh
[Verse 1: Joshua Penn]
Ayo, my brothers ain't crabs in a barrel, no flash in a pan
Fellowship of men pursuin' Christ, not factions of men
This is passion, common unity and bond
Mad crucial in these times in this community of ours
This is Christ's work that we still stand
It's the grace of God that has kept us through the years in His hands
Reachin' out, stay connected, family since confession
Belief in our hearts, Christ died, resurrected
That draws us to know Him
I gained true family by followin' the Light, naturally, I lost old friends
With a new nature, display of God's love
I'm closer to some of y'all than my own flesh and blood
Building in the Word is how we stand on our one, two
And I won't hesitate to tell you that I love you
God's will is the cause and effect
When distant, won't hesitate wit' calls or a text
A beautiful investment, pray you'll build together
When our brotherhood is tested, we are not perfected
But Christ is, guides and directs us
It's God's grace and mercy that guards from deceptions
New birth like an Act 2 fellowship, like it's Acts 2
Break bread and preach Mark, Luke, John, Matthew
The gospel, I thank God for my brothers through the blood
True unity, a unified front from above, yeah
[Verse 2: Zae da Blacksmith]
Where would I be, Lord, if it wasn't for the brethren?
And brothers comin' through when times got tougher than leather and
The bond of the saints through the blood of Christ, you can't sever this
It goes beyond to life eternal, that's a forever clique
Got a couple years now, walkin' with the Lord
Doin' the blacksmith thing with brothers, sharpenin' our swords
Whether we was on stage rappin' on a tour
Or ministerin' through preachin' or moppin' up a floor
'Cause it's always a thing of the Lord when there's unity
That's how the brethren model Heaven's Godhead community
We got more cheer and good times than a brewery
We reflect His light, we shine bright, we're like jewellery
Got a passion for Christ, so when it's time to preach
We get it poppin' like a drop of water in a pot of grease
This brotherhood of ours got an everlastin' reach
We was bought through the blood of Christ, we got a bond of peace
Peace
[Verse 3: Reformed Yinzer]
I write this to my brothers who are suffering strife
This life ain't nothin' nice, we're one wit' the Christ
So [?] for some humble advice
Wit' the Spirit fillin' us, we build each other up
To the One who spilled His blood, was killed and crushed
No matter what you're goin' through, them boys will point you
To the true Anointed Jew who enjoins you
Christ, the awesome Lion, hearts start cryin'
Sparks start flyin', 'cause you sharpenin' an iron
You know who's for real, soldiers in the field
Grab the Sword and the Shield, let's go and get this hill
You can't fake it, friend, there's been a Great Awakening
You'll hate your sin, real Restoration
Will test your faith, yes and amen
So build with His children, keep Killing your Sin
Beholdin' His glory, Unfolding His story
The more it gets told, I know that He's for me
Descended from Heaven, died for our sin
Resurrected, ascended what happened to Him
Connected to the brethren, we'll ride to the end
The people that He chose, we are not alone
Seated on His Throne, He's leadin' us Home
[Chorus]
I praise God Christ rescued you
So when I see King Jesus, I'ma praise Him right next to you
I praise God Christ rescued you
So when I see King Jesus, I'ma praise Him right next to you
I praise God Christ rescued you
So when I see King Jesus, I'ma praise Him right next to you
I praise God Christ rescued you
So when I see King Jesus, I'ma praise Him right next to you
[Verse 4: Omri]
Uh-huh, with Christ, I hope I'm barely composed
What up from the 5-0-4 area code
To the brothers faithful to the gospel
God chose us all to be sons in His household
Sold out a house purchased without gold
When sin, the highest bidder, was outsold
Now known for sinnin' not wit' sinners, copped
No Dow Jones, God's stock is in His flock
Many like to vilify, malign, and criticize
God's children with whom the Son identifies
Took on flesh, now, with us, He can sympathize
Endured death as innocent, in sin, epitomized
With full confidence in Him who remained just
The brothers of Jesus share that same trust
'Til times of refreshing, the words of Peter
When the Lord Himself is our worship leader
[Verse 5: Believin' Stephen]
In Christ, we have full completeness
I love the Body of Christ and its uniqueness
Runnin' this race of faith like the [?]
Spottin' each other when we notice weakness
We need each other when this walk's seemin' tougher
Can't do it alone, nah, I need my brothers
We need community, as God's pursuin' me
How sweet it is when we have peace and unity
We bring different gifts just like a pollyanna
And we call on Christ, know we ain't exaltin' Santa
On Earth, we are dwellin', but we'll worship in Heaven
Fervently tellin' God's mercies unended
Encourage the brethren, I felt you should know
Y'all helpin' me grow up in fellowship, yo
My brethren, my bros, we gonna live forever
I'll keep on spittin' those bars, witty and clever
[Verse 6: timothy brindle]
You planned to free tim through ransomed fee
You transfered me into Your huge family
A crew of brothers who never knew each other
Who'da loved to throw insults to your mother
From different walks of life and backgrounds and talkin' types
Whack clowns are brought to Christ to have crowns
None would think to believe this
We a bunch of Christian extremists who love spittin' for Jesus
Spillin' on mics as children of light, buildin'
Revealin' the Christ who's brilliant and bright
All born again from the same origin
'Cause the Son sent His Holy Spirit to escort us in
We abhor our sin, so ready to hurl
New friends, old people still dead in the world
May sound too irrational, but do the math and you'll
Find out we are products of the supernatural
He saved us guys, then changed our lives
We the foolish things of the world to shame the wise
I'm huggin' my man, 'cause of the blood of the Lamb
Because of His plan, we sons in His covenant fam
It's great to suffer together, makes us tougher than leather
Rougher than ever, but wait, stuff'll get better
'Cause Heaven is next, rejoice brethren, get hype
But only want Heaven because of the presence of Christ
[Chorus]
I praise God Christ rescued you
So when I see King Jesus, I'ma praise Him right next to you
I praise God Christ rescued you
So when I see King Jesus, I'ma praise Him right next to you
I praise God Christ rescued you
So when I see King Jesus, I'ma praise Him right next to you
I praise God Christ rescued you
So when I see King Jesus, I'ma praise Him right next to you
