[Intro: S.O.]
This is more than song
This is more than song
This is more than song
I am weak, He is strong
I am me, He is God
I'm living with the end in view
I'm living with the end in view
I'm living with the end in view
So it begins but its ending soon
[Verse 1: S.O.]
Uh, the end is pending for this ready tenant
Faith shining like a pendant coz his Spirit present
I would say need amending then I heard a message
Who would have thought that all my mess would be a hidden blessing, you get it?
I keep sharing all my affliction for anyone who would listen I'm praying people don't miss it like
God's comfort brought covering clothes, now I'm covered and smothered in covenant prose
Never stumbled I was chose couldn't rumble with blows against God
He's God, how's one to oppose?
So I tell em all, trust is they center thought
When faith takes more hits than the center court
Who you gon' trust in?
Man's custom to hope in other things but God no fronting
His got shelter for pending doom
So run into the tower coz its ending soon I'm like
[Chorus: Lecrae, Tedashii, other voices]
Living with the end in mind
The drama is almost over
The Lord is at hand
So I keep the end in mind
Living with the end in mind
You wanna talk about the end? Let's talk about the end?
[Verse 2: S.O.]
In the beginning I said that it would end, huh, man I meant what I said
Wouldn't amend it, see the end round the bend
Chloe prolly tell me, "No, don't end it my friend"
Jack would say the same thing, pick the pen and attend to the fans and the listeners
My mission is serving you heart servitude in the midst of it
Light stay flickering nothing with dwindle it
Fire rekindling pray it keeps hitting 'em
These words that I speak tweets mentioning
Pray Lord that You keep these till the end, no longer if but when I leave
Hang it up or call it quits cause dare I be something more than a rapper with clear ID
Onboard for the Master so c'est la vie
That I'm moving where He tell me move and so I do what He tell me do now let's cruise cmon
[Chorus 2: Lecrae, Tedashii, other voices]
Living with the end in mind
We don't know that the drama is almost over
The Lord is at hand
So I keep the end in mind
Living with the end in mind
So the Lord is at hand, we should talk that way
[Verse 3: S.O.]
Is this the end of a saga?
The end of the dream?
Lord I'm ready throw confetti as the pendulum swings
I'm suspecting some things
Life's setting the scene
So I meet it with the plan know the blessed and redeemed
Had a second to see what was stressed to achieve was a vapor that was here for a sec then would leave
Who knew, the vision of the cream and the roofless is now seen as obscene and useless
Truth is music is a season I use it part of my blueprint of teaching my students
So there is much more for me as it continues the end is what I wanna see
Read this chapter with a marker
Happily ever after
Crafting for the Captain as this earth is getting darker
We stand firm living by His standards praying that man turns leaving what man's learnt yeah
[Chorus 3: S.O, Lecrae, other voices]
I'm living with the end in view
So I keep the end in mind
I'm living with the end in view
History is being guided
I'm living with the end in view
The drama is almost over
So it begins but its ending soon
[Outro: Timothy Brindle]
Ah, my beloved brother S.O
I'm so encouraged by you man, and your passion and genuine zeal for the Lord Jesus Christ
It seems kinda backwards but, many times Christians think that maturing in Christ means being stronger and less weak
But it's been so dope to see you mature my brother, the biblical way
Acknowledging your brokenness and weaknesses, modelling for listeners how to embrace the reality of being needy before God
But you don't stop there
I love how you look up at Christ and the abundant provision of grace that there is in Him, so that He shows himself as gloriously beautiful and trustworthy
So my charge to you is this: Continue, S.O., regardless of what people say, to be an urban psalmist who transparently shows through your life and music what it looks like to cling to Jesus in a broken world
And In doing this, you will show the world that Jesus Christ
Is faithful, to the end
