Zae da Blacksmith - Self-Control lyrics

[Intro: Zae Da Blacksmith] Last but not least the fruits of the spirit is self-control Whether which of these fruits of this tree never grow The long harvest says that you reap what you sow So fertilize the roots of the fruit and sweep when it shows Yep the last of the fruits of the spirit is self-control Which we have to produce for these other fruits to grow The long harvest says that you reap what you sow So fertilize the roots of the fruit and sweep when it shows [Hook: Zae Da Blacksmith] Day by day, minute the minute teach me your ways God, I pray by your spirit I will obey Every day that you have given to me is grace Lord, and all of my words and the deeds that I say (X2) [Verse 1: Zae Da Blacksmith] And yo hope yall ready to roll cuz we gon dive into self-control So lemme define it If you beat the grief you`ll see that it means strength Or otherwise you`ll find yourself holding yourself in This is the virtue of one who masters All of his desires and all his pa**ions It`s what`s in effect when we deflect temptation that attracts us It`s God`s given grace to resist when Satan attacks us It`s the last of the list of the fifth chapter Of the fruits that are given so that we can live em in practice But only God`s spirit makes it active It`s a ma**ive feat like taking a whole city captive It takes a mightier man to control his actions And watch what comes out of his mouth cuz he can't put it back in It`s what God has crafted in those that he drafted So Let`s just let him shape and mold us Until we behold our master [Hook: Zae Da Blacksmith] Day by day, minute the minute teach me your ways God, I pray by your spirit I will obey Every day that you have given to me is grace Lord, and all of my words and the deeds that I say (X2) [Verse 2: Zae Da Blacksmith] Walk with me on the stroll to the day of his highness And recognize that What I need For only he can provide it Let`s take our care to the Father In Jesus name Lord we acknowledge you're worthy of being praised And we confess that we`ve sinned against you today I know that I lack self-control and I need grace I pray the same for my brothers and sisters listening Help us to obtain a good measure of self-discipline Cuz I know for me that I can be impulsive And how I interact with folks can even be imposing At times I need you Just for me to be quiet And tame this wild tongue cuz from it I breathe fires Plus I got a war inside with lust and pride And at times I just need you to just turn my eyes So its in the name of Christ we take our cares to you And trust by the spirit of God we`ll bear fruit [Hook: Zae Da Blacksmith] Day by day, minute by minute teach me your ways God, I pray by your spirit I will obey Every day that you have given to me is grace Lord, and all of my words and the deeds that I say (X2) [Verse 3: Zae Da Blacksmith] Yo, so how do we role with self-control? We`ll let us ponder some thoughts that I get direct from the scroll Now, though its all by the spirit of God We're still called to respond and contribute our thoughts Like when God delivered Israel out of the clause of Pharaoh And promised them a land they had to take by sword and arrow To ensure them that he'd give him strength for this he caused a miracle And gave him a victory by marching round the walls of Jericho This is an illustration of the collaboration Between God and man and sanctification He promised them a land of dwelling He promises to dwell in us so when we're in the land we can reveal him He gave them strength for the victory And he provides us with the grace to grow in self-control effectively So we first pray for the grace of God Trust in him and then we put work in like a job But self-control is more than just actions It happens in the mind so we take every thought captive And if we aim lives to rep him well We need self control just to humble ourselves That means forgiving, considering, and loving your brother But its counted out in the heart to none other than to God who inspired the word declared truth So we can be living it out and bear fruit [Hook: Zae Da Blacksmith] Day by day, minute the minute teach me your ways God, I pray by your spirit I will obey Every day that you have given to me is grace Lord, and all of my words and the deeds that I say (X2)
