Symbols And Signs

Pump the brakes, stop sign

You saw the sign now you ace of base

Preacher saw them dollar signs

He on that paper chase

Stuffing profits in his pockets

A wolf with a sheep's appearance

And the reason he's making that scratch huh

Is cause those ears itch

Pimping out the gospel (watch out)

A prostitution of false doctrine

Lies whistle in the wind

But we listen

If there's a little truth mixed in

Find a pastor that suits you

On your tv with a suit and tie

Hitch a ride in his private jet

And you'll be lookin' stupid fly

Materialism

And selfish ambition

Is a foolish religion

The riches of God's mercy

Is worth more than your superstition

Tell me how does a christian begin

To develop discernment and wisdom

First we submit every symbol and sign

To the authority of the scriptures

Signs

Symbols and signs

Symbols and signs

Symbols and signs

Signs, symbols and signs

Symbols and signs

Symbols and signs

Symbols and signs

Signs, symbols

Yep, are you the kind

That's completely consumed

By symbols and signs?

If you are that's fine

But don't you find it interesting

How most of the time

Your self-interpreting seems to coincide

With what's deep inside

Your heart's desires

Seems rather convenient, doesn't it?

I'm not saying that God can't do it

Not saying that God won't do it

That might very well be the case!

I'm simply making an observation of how much weight you place on it

What seems to be at stake and how much of your faith is actually banking on it

And how much of your mysticism is mixed with your religious philosophic system

Sometimes what we believe to be true from our supernatural pursuits is actually a fluke

A series of events that's used to distract you from the truth

But, I'll give you a sign that's obvious

One of the most supernatural acts is that God through his word has actually revealed everything pertaining to life in godliness

There's this idea that an individual

Is somehow more spiritual

If he sees these signs and symbols

And takes what's normally invisible

And makes it simple

But I say the mark of a mature man

Is the one who reads God's word and understands

And allows that to govern his decisions and his prospective plans

I like it when the wind shifts

They say it's the movement of the spirit

Still small voice, ya'll hear it?

Remember that time I saw that leaf fall

I was positive it was God's call

Wait for it, listen close

Ya'll missed it?

I cite gideon, samson, paul

Elijah saw the clouds split

And know that God did it

And does it still

Still, his presence feels like chills

Right, and if I'm honest it doesn't happen often

Something must be wrong

It's boring when my life is more like the book of ruth than exodus

I've never seen the partin'

Of an ocean

Or a cloud by day or pillar by night

Just a normal everyday working of life

Where things that suck royally

Is evidence of his royalty

Scratch your temple

So deep it's simple

Silly us, ignore the plain

We prefer a riddle

Dying to see a miracle

While holding God's diary

Looking for signs

Symbols, signs
