As Real As It Gets

Hook:

Christian this is real as it gets

Our faith is strengthened daily so endure the test

Renewing the mind of christ to resist the flesh

With a will to live peculiar despite the rest

At the cross we find grace the blood of christ defines

Who we are as righteous men among sinful kind

Believer we cross the line it's but a few times

A just man get's up with the right mind.

Iz-real verse:

I've said this before won't do it any more

I'm frontin' with the world and my life is really yours

Man it hurts like dancing on corns the walk is sore

Flesh in control when i claimed you as lord

Philippians 4:13 through christ i've got it beaten

But it seems know of day's the only strength i got is leaving

Turned from your way when your face i should be seeking

Deny you at times like peter my heart aches i reaching

Out because i have to no doubt i need to

Realizing sin breaks the vibe with you forgive me for the dirt i do

Thank you for being snatched from wrath

But deliver me oh god from my haunting past

It wants to take over my body like an allergic rash

And i'm bout to blow up like a smoker soaked in gas

I've tried the praying daily and a week long fast

I avoid a way of escape i know i'm hurting you dad

Tired of dealing with the same sin but it's amazing

How ya grace is sufficient and never changing

A safe haven

A dwelling place provided in you when my minds raging

As the flesh keeps chasing

Anything and everything unlike you lord ya patient

Your strength's made perfect in weakness regardless of weak men

Ya spirit sustains men 'til the day of redemption.

Mac the doulos verse:

Ay yo i know what the word say

But i'm fessin' up. i'm messin' up livin' the world's way

And i know sin can't control me or hold me

But i'm having difficulty livin' holy

And that's real. 'bout as real as it's gonna get.

Sometimes, i feel like i just wanna quit

And to add insult to injury

I'm tryin' to fight my flesh plus resist the enemy

And dying to self is harder than i thought

I faced even more temptation the harder that i fought

I'm learning to live this christian life on my knees

You dead wrong if you think the christian life is a breeze

But i know i got the victory

Cuz i repented when the comforter came and convicted me

God is into

Conforming us to his son's image. until he finishes, the saga continues

Iz-real verse:

Have mercy oh lord i feel the heat

Although the spirit is willing the physique is weak

Please fill the void and restore my faith

Bring back the joy of me seeking your face

I purposed in my heart to serve and trust you

Walk upright live truth obey you

But the more i try it seems the harder i fall

In a race of endurance man i tend to stall

Christian this is as real as it gets

Ya faith is strengthened daily so daily strive to carry

Out the plan god ordained for us

Before the world was framed he arranged for us

To go thru knowing the outcome

So as you go thru out comes everything that's unlike him

In salvation you a work in progress

He will finish what he starts so endure the process

Ephesians chapter 2 you made alive in christ

So in this chapter of life you're positioned right

You know a distinguished life don't relinquish light

When your spirit gets weak man trust his might

Tell a friends if you're anchored right

Be encouraged walk upright live as the bride of christ

God's grace is sufficient live in submission

His spirit sustains men till the day of redemption
