Self Examination Lyrics by Trip Lee

If They Only Knew

2006

V.1
We was born sinners man, dead in the flesh
Unfamiliar with the Lord's living man, He bled to the death
But we love our sin instead of Him, we fans of the flesh
If you think I'm lying man, put a man to the test
We all full of lies, full of pride, full of dirty lust
And we put our lives ahead of God's Word we should trust
We all knew it was a dude above who made everything
But we run away, love our ways and never gave Him praise
But for some of us He made a way up out of this dilemma
He sent His Son and He was strung out for wicked sinners
All we gotta do is trust upon the righteousness of Christ
He got something new for us, the righteousness of Christ
You may believe it man, but have you trusted in Him yet?
And realized your sinful life will thrust you into death?
And you need Him coz in the flesh man is fading
Time for Self Examination
Like you was the doctor and the patient

Hook:
We gotta look ourselves over, how we standing with Jehovah
He's the man and He can hold us, should be standing as His soldier
It's time for Self Examination, we need a Self Examination
It's time for Self Examination, we need a Self Examination man
What are lives look like coz for real we should fight
To enjoy lifting Christ and to shine His good light
It's time for Self Examination, we need a Self Examination
It's time for Self Examination, we need a Self Examination man

V.2
A lot of us claim to be believers but we slack in our walk
We going round everyday without our backs to the cross
And when it comes to serving Christ, we standing on the wall
But we say we Christian coz we went up for the altar call
That don't mean that we believers, that don't mean we saved from flames
If we ain't working for Him, our faith is dead like it say in James
It ain't no better living, we the same and steady sinning
Know that faith without fruit wasn't faith from the beginning
It's a lot of kids that got it twisted thinking they saved
But homie they ain't bout tha Fathers biz, they sleep in they grave
And they gon be real disappointed man when they face judgment
All along they thought that they was saved but they really wasn't
Sin's disgusting to the Father man, He can barely stand it
And the mark of the believer is keeping to His commandments
So if we content up in our sin, ain't seeking Jesus?
We really need to coz we may not even be believers

V.3
Now for some of us we claim to be in love with our God
But if we look around we can find that something is odd
And if we really looked, our love for the Son isn't thick
Coz we ain't really love with Christ, we in love with His gifts
Man after you die and you gone and you go to heaven
Would you be satisfied if you arrived and God wasn't present?
That's a question we should ask, are we choosing Christ?
Is He a supplement or is He our true delight?
