V.1

Allow me to introduce this book

It's called Philemon, it's oh so personal [1:1]

The book bares the name of the person whom the words are to [1:1]

Paul's urging dude, praying for this servant who [1:4]

Refreshed the saints, day by day in the Church, its true [1:5]

He was encouraged too by this dude's passion

Fellowship, growing in faith, it was fantastic [1:6]

But he had this slave, Onesimus, this man happened

To steal some things, ran away, yeah he fled faster [1:15/1:18]

Philemon didn't know, he ended up in Rome

Where God redeemed his soul, through Paul's teaching yo [1:10]

The gospel of Christ made some things change

Coz now he and Philemon became the same slaves

Slaves to Christ

Onesimus stayed beside Paul in prison, he had changed his life [1:11/1:13]

So he served Paul, it hurt Paul, to have to let him leave [1:11]

With this letter in his hand, hoping he'd be received [1:12]

Take him back (take him back)

It don't matter what he did

Christ forgives homie, that's what it is

I know you've been wronged

He's been gone for a minute

But now God got up in him

So I call for forgiveness

V.2

So Paul the Apostle, saw that he ought to

Resolve what was harming the Body, he got to

So he comes on strong, but then also

As a fellow servant of God as he talks to him [1:8-9]

Philemon, pleading for Onesimus

Please don't grieve him, I need him

But he is still yours so just listen [1:13-14]

His presence is dear to me but it's dearer to you [1:16]

And it's so clear to see, since hearing the truth

He's been adopted and cleaned and often it seems [1:10]

That God in His sovereignty, saw that these things

Like thieving and leaving you for a season

Through that, God redeemed him and cleaned him so he can [1:15]

Be yours forever as a brother in Christ [1:16]

So receive this letter, don't cut him off twice [1:17]

And whatever he owes you, charge it to me

Even though you owe me, I want you to please just.. [1:18-19]

Take him back (take him back)

It don't matter what he did

Christ forgives homie, that's what it is

I know you've been wronged

He's been gone for a minute

But now God got up in him

So I call for forgiveness

V.3

Paul wrote he was sure and secure in the fact

That Philemon would surely enjoy taking back [1:21]

This man who had wronged him before in his past

But now they were one in the Lord, it's a wrap [1:16]

Just like Onesimus, we need forgiveness

When we grieve our Lord who saved us and filled us

With His Spirit to seal us in, heal us from the illest sin

Even though we're sinning men, look at what we did to Him

But He takes us back and what we owed

Was paid on the cross with the blood that flowed

From the side of His body, now I'm in the Body

Of Christ, in the light, still I say I'm sorry

To God for the charge that was held against me

I'm forgiven because He was nailed to a tree

So I yell and I scream as I'm telling these people

That we need to be like Jesus and seek to...
