Iron Disciple - What Are You? Lyrics

It's after midnight and I still can't sleep
So I fast to get right, so my will ain't weak
I pray the Master get light, every time I speak
I'm trying to glorify Jesus, but this flesh is a disease it's
Like I got infected with it at the moment of birth
Lick a shot, injected, fitted all alone in a hearse
Cuz it's appointed one time for every man to die
But the Anointed One shines, give that second birth a try
Holy God, speak through me I don't know what to say
Like Romans 8:26, I don't know what to pray
Holy Spirit renew me, cuz this flesh is a beast
Every day's another battle, all I really want is peace
And we at war in the streets, we at war in our homes
We at war with the dumb apps, on every smartphone
We at war with the flesh, with the fear, with the funds
What's money to my God when I'm walking with His Son?

We're soldiers for God, needing new recruits (get busy y'all)
We them followers of Christ, homie, what are you?
Choking out the flesh, to bear spiritual fruit (get busy y'all)
We them followers of Christ, homie, what are you?
Get active, the cares of the world won't trouble you (get busy y'all)
We them followers of Christ, homie, what are you?
Make war, never shy away from the struggle, dude (get busy y'all)
We them followers of Christ, homie, what are you?

At the intersection of the realest death
And the truest life, Christ, I feel His breath
Looking to His wife, nice! Oops, pardon me
She said "Boy, you're just another part of me
Come on, hear, believe, repent, and get buried
Be born of water and spirit, and then we get married"
Because the church is the bride, I'm just a lamb so I hide
Behind the Lion of Judah, a humble member of His pride
Spitting fire like Natsu, cuz I study the scriptures
They put my Boss on a cross to paint the bloodiest picture
And I'm the nuttiest mixture, of weak flesh and grace
So I'm a serve Him like Apache till I see His face
Beneath my feet is faith, cuz I don't walk by sight
Blow for blow with temptation, but I don't win every fight
I get battered by sin & crawl bleeding to His throne
His mercy's everlasting, I'll praise Him till I'm gone

We're soldiers for God, needing new recruits (get busy y'all)
We them followers of Christ, homie, what are you?
Choking out the flesh, to bear spiritual fruit (get busy y'all)
We them followers of Christ, homie, what are you?
Get active, the cares of the world won't trouble you (get busy y'all)
We them followers of Christ, homie, what are you?
Make war, never shy away from the struggle, dude (get busy y'all)
We them followers of Christ, homie, what are you?

Respecting my perspective ain't the same thing as agreeing with me
The objective is reflecting, till you see Him in me
Walking in His light while my sin is casting shadows
Far from flawless, but I'm committed to the Battle
Rope-a-dope like Cassius, I was formed in the Clay
I heard the Word made flesh, so I conform to what He say
If there's a storm in the way, I'll have to walk into it
Because I'll probably find my Savior in there talking to it

We're soldiers for God, needing new recruits (get busy y'all)
We them followers of Christ, homie, what are you?
Choking out the flesh, to bear spiritual fruit (get busy y'all)
We them followers of Christ, homie, what are you?
Get active, the cares of the world won't trouble you (get busy y'all)
We them followers of Christ, homie, what are you?
Make war, never shy away from the struggle, dude (get busy y'all)
We them followers of Christ, homie, what are you?

Soldiers (what are you?)
Priests (what are you?)
Saints (what are you?)
Sheep (what are you?)
Children (what are you?)
Light (what are you?)
Christians (get busy y'all)
Stand and fight
