We Apologize

By FLAME

On Our World Fallen

V.1

Just perhaps through this rap song many come to see

Ones who wouldn't even bother accepting our apology

Christianity’s past ain't been perfect, not always pleasant

Perhaps in the church some being hurt even in the present

I can honestly say with a sad face and full of shame

Some horrible things have been done in Jesus' name

Those who claimed in the past, some have even shed blood

Others simply felt judged, others they never felt the love

That believers explain that Jesus freely came to give

Coz we made them feel dead when we said that they would live

Even seeing the sin, professing Christians fell in

Like adultery, lies, money laundering, sipping gin

Backstabbing, rape, racism, the list goes on

But at the end of the day, all we can say is that it’s wrong

And I know that this song can't take away all of the pain and the hurt

That you experienced when you first came to the church but...

V.2

Please allow me to say, some give the faith a bad name

An encounter with Christ consequently should bring change

Jesus said it like this, you can tell a tree by its fruit

If I plant an apple seed and the seed takes root

And it dies in the ground, then apples are produced

I ain't tryna be deep, I'm just tryna speak the truth

So perhaps in your case you encounter one of the fakes

Who didn't display none of the fruit of Jesus' grace

And it shattered your world and everything was destroyed

You left Christianity and was spiritually unemployed

You were working for the Lord, your experience killed your joy

So now you ignore any mentioning of the Lord

I assure you there are many who are real

Who resemble the King and sympathize with what you feel

Who will walk with you, life on life till God heals

That's if you sincere, I guarantee that He will, He will for real

V.3

My last request, don't take your pain out on Christ

Yeah people will fail you but never in His life

Has He ever broke a promise, I promise He never will

These are not my words but the ones in His will

Have you looked at His life and seen the way He treated people?

He stood for what’s right, what’s just, plus He judged evil

He healed the sick, the lame, plus He fed the poor

The perfect Person, what person could ever ask for more?

But greater than these things, He came to die for sin

The spiritually dead state that sin threw us in

But because He's the God-man, He’s able to forgive

People like us and enable us to live

The most unique Person to ever exist in human history

Has taken the time to reveal to us this mystery

That we too can be a part of His plan

Coz He loves us, just put your heart in His hands, you can!
