lyrics
ad lib
A yo
Walk by faith and not by sight
Cause what we do
In the dark
Will soon come to the light
And if we living without Christ
"A yo that ain't right"
Cause what the world is trying to tell us
Is engulfed in shady politics
Now I'm really sick of this
Ignorance isn't bliss
It's an excuse for us
To act like Jesus don't exist
We walk around in our bubbles
Avoiding trouble
Thinking works is gonna double
As the thing that's gonna grant us grace
But it's by faith alone
There ain't a thing on this planet
That we can do
That's gonna take us to our home in heaven
It's by his blessing and his sacrificial measure
That we even have a chance
To see the treasure stored in heaven
But first
We must accept Him
Not reject Him in our hearts
That's where it starts
So that our spirit is receptive
But the flesh is still deceptive
Convincing us that His light is just perspective
So check the resurrection
Chorus:
Walk by faith and not by sight
Cause what we do in the dark
Will soon come to the light
And if we living without Christ
A yo
That ain't right
Cause it's the shining yall
(yeah)
It's the shining yall
Check it
(repeat)
It's like butter baby
There ain't no ifs, ands or maybes
It's crazy
How the blood of Christ
It covers us like gravy
He's the number one blood spiller
But instead of praising Him
We giving glory to the thugs and the killers
Praising money over God
Ain't that odd?
That's what we do
For the love of money
Is the root of all kinds of evil
We're driven by the flesh
The flesh is weak
That's why we seek
To find the favor of our Savior
What could be greater
Than the living sacrifice
That saved our life
Jesus Christ
Even though we weren't deserving
He did it
Because He loved us so
Now it's time for us to grow
A little wiser in our walk
A little smarter in our talk
We open up our hearts
To let His light shine in
And in the end
We can rest in the comfort
That we're forgiven of our sins
So
Walk by faith and not by sight
Cause it's the shining yall
(what)
It's the shining yall
(c'mon)
