Entitlement - Beautiful Eulogy/Urbano Courtland/Terry Thomas Joseph/Bryan L. Winchester |
| [00:02.50] |
Limited in mind limited in body ruler of our own domain |
| [00:25.31] |
Claim false authority like we're the ones who rule and reign |
| [00:28.93] |
The mentality of the majority is more than metaphorically morphing |
| [00:31.36] |
Into a misinformed form of who we were born to be |
| [00:33.95] |
Torn between blind perception and divine reality |
| [00:36.43] |
Torn at the seems our dreams are |
| [00:38.66] |
Built on a faulty foundation of fallacy |
| [00:39.96] |
This will be our fatality it's simply a formality |
| [00:42.11] |
See the casualties of war laid on the floor of the battle scene |
| [00:44.99] |
We worship how we feel we don't worship who we should |
| [00:47.53] |
Yeah we got it bad and if God calls it bad we call it good |
| [00:50.82] |
We covet what others have grab whatever we can |
| [00:52.83] |
Whatever we want |
| [00:53.39] |
We think it belongs in the palm of our hands |
| [00:55.49] |
Going along with a song and a dance |
| [00:57.10] |
Worshipping idols to fulfill our entitlement issues |
| [00:58.39] |
Addicted to the feeling we get when we get |
| [01:00.00] |
What we want so we pick and we choose |
| [01:01.63] |
Even the air we breath is a gift we receive that we think we're entitled to |
| [01:04.90] |
Even the air we breath is a gift we receive that we think we're entitled to |
| [01:07.85] |
They say you get what you deserve so we work hard to earn it |
| [01:11.02] |
Earn as much as we can to determine our self worth and purpose |
| [01:13.70] |
Identified by what we buy it's a sad state of affairs |
| [01:15.82] |
And when we die we loose it all and just lay there |
| [01:18.23] |
Naked and bare |
| [01:19.09] |
But none of this stuff can cover us |
| [01:20.68] |
No it never was enough for us |
| [01:21.92] |
Nothing we can work for to obtain can wash away the stain |
| [01:24.08] |
The only thing we're entitled to is judgement for the lives we led |
| [01:26.84] |
There's nothing we can hide behind |
| [01:28.00] |
In the end we need grace instead |
| [02:03.14] |
We spend a lifetime trying to find love in anything and everything |
| [02:05.69] |
This life has to offer it's true and often times |
| [02:09.23] |
We trade the temporal satisfaction for the things |
| [02:11.87] |
The genuine believer is entitled to |
| [02:14.73] |
I'm convinced that it's because they don't understand |
| [02:16.31] |
That there exists an order of benefits of redemption |
| [02:19.38] |
That's applied to his bride |
| [02:21.35] |
And the basis of his choice in election was for |
| [02:23.35] |
God alone to decide |
| [02:25.47] |
And it is not like an "invitation" that one might accept or reject |
| [02:28.88] |
But rather its the effectual calling drawing to Himself His elect |
| [02:33.48] |
Regenerating and enabling us to respond in faith toward Christ |
| [02:37.72] |
Giving us the gift of repentance and revealing the nature of His sacrifice |
| [02:41.94] |
Binding us with a true intellectual realization of our sinful condition |
| [02:46.27] |
Converting us and turning us from our previous malicious disposition |
| [02:50.53] |
Ultimately leading to a legal declaration by God |
| [02:53.29] |
That we've been made right in his sight |
| [02:55.33] |
Justification being credited to us |
| [02:57.35] |
On the basis of the righteousness of Christ |
| [03:00.48] |
Adopted to be the children of God and grafted into fellowship |
| [03:04.02] |
Being bound together by the blood of Christ |
| [03:06.33] |
Into a common membership |
| [03:08.10] |
Sanctified by the spirit given gradual growth in holiness |
| [03:11.00] |
Increasing in our thinking and behaving |
| [03:13.71] |
In a ways that shows that were chosen |
| [03:16.33] |
And all the while being preserved |
| [03:17.94] |
And upheld according to his sovereign providence |
| [03:20.53] |
Giving us confidence |
| [03:21.82] |
That he will carry us to completion just like he promised |
