Illusent - Idol Factory lyrics

[Verse 1] Yo, I was raised I the dungeon of rap, word to Nasty Nas Escobar The 36 chambers of d**h, that was my repertoire I used to bang the purple tape in the boom box And NWA schooled me how to view cops These were my role models, gangstas with gold bottles Who wouldn't hesitate to throw hollows At they rivals, I read the Bible And got convicted that these dudes were my idols It didn't help that my heart was a factory Of idolatry you'll never see how that impacted me Actually, if not rap then it would've been Something else, I couldn't win, homie, I am good at sin But by His grace, I'm getting better at repentance And by His grace, I ain't eternally sentenced To condemnation that I fully deserve Until Christ stepped in, and a substitution occurred, word [Hook] Lord, take these idols out of my life! Replace them with your marvelous light! Lord, take these idols out of my life! Replace them with your marvelous light! [Verse 2] Sometimes I feel like my heart is really controlling me But I know that the Holy Spirit is shaping and molding me Into the image of Jesus not Lil' Wayne You can't have sanctification without a little pain So I rejoice when my idols are smashed By God it's vital in fact, (He) uses the Bible for that It doesn't matter if I'm kicking and screaming Lord, keep me from leaving, I need strength to believe in You (echo) You as my everything, I mean my everything Preeminent in every facet of my very being Give me a flame that burns brighter than kerosene Bringing more glory to Your name than I could ever dream It's so cool how You can use a fool You're infinitely wise, I'm outside of Your school Fully deserve d**h, but You gave me an exodus So I trust in Jesus the prerequisite [Hook] [Spoken from Romans 1:24-25] Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen
