One throne for the Holy
One home for the homies
One loan for the Lonelies
One known for the whole three
I remember the passages He showed me
When He was asking do you know me?
Though you are passive are you lowly?
Are all of your passions for me only?
Every question would leave me in a rut
Feeling like he knee'd me in the gut
But that's better than leaving me in the gutter
Unbelieving with the devil just feeding me in the mud
Chosen, he cleaned me in his blood
He rose and received me in His love
Since I died with Him, I will rise with Him
On a throne interceding from above
One throne for the Holy
One home for the homies
One loan for the Lonelies
One known for the whole three
I remember the passage that He showed me
This is the path for those who know me
I am the master of the lowly
I have a pasture for my own sheep
The Foreigners...
Living in tents in the promise land
Living intent? Just a farmers hand
Sowing God's seed in the heart of man
And Abraham was an alien
So let us gain from our fathers
This native land that we're staying in
Is a temporary stain on the carpet
Yo we that few they never knew
Grew from the rain, It’s the grain of the harvest
They think we're choosing to lose
But were chosen to gain from His shame Like the prophets
You see the flock feel the pain of a coarse death
That's the pain of the course set, what can I say
Look at the way that my Lord said I'm on my way, So stay awake
He's coming quickly, I know He's gon' come and get me soon
Uh, yeah, I know He's gon' come and get me soon

My brothers. My sisters.
While we are in this foreign land...
Stay awake!
‘Cause they Lurking’ and they trine hunt you down
‘Cause they Lurking’ and they trine hunt you down
Don’t play around—
——
No, I am not without hope,
But I am not without sadness as well
I have gladness to tell how my sadness prevailed
Over drinking madness from the baddest of wells
I am not just sad for myself
I am troubled in my thinking in my habits and health
Seeing what your drinking from the cabinet shelf
Gotchu seeing Jesus and thinking it's Calvin himself
That one is sickening it really is
That among others, among brothers of brilliance
But if Paul and Apollos be the same
Then hallowed be the name of none other than who he is
One plants, one waters
One Father to grant the growth so we can truly live
One plant, one potter
One God who demands the boast that we boast that we would give to men
Some things will steal you away if you let them
They are lurking in the dark
Some secrets find you out if you protect them
They are lurking in the dark
Young lady, Fishing for men in the dark with her body in the water
More likely to end up with sharks then find another convert
A follower, a father or a gentleman
Little girls will follow her and model what she meddles (medals) in
1st place, 2nd place, 3rd base adrenaline
Pumping through the veins of a young man developing
A battle that has slain many grown men who wrestle it
And I can feel the pain cause I hold hands with veterans
Now, you can help your brother be humbled
Or you can help your brother to stumble
Down the steps of your temple, repenting with each stair (stare)
Now it's driving him mental to step into each snare
You say, I wish that they would just look at my face
But your clothes say, I wish that they would just look at my waist and below
And behold, now you got 'em not looking at all
Wearing fig leaves in autumn, that'll cause 'em to fall.
Some things will steal you away if you let them
They are lurking in the dark
Some secrets find you out if you protect them
They are lurking in the dark

Since I was a little boy, I believed in God
I could hear an inner voice, telling me to love
——
I could hear my inner voice telling me to lie
Telling me lust, telling me to hate, filling me with pride
Filling me with bitter joys, and evil appetites
So much for my human choice, it never satisfied
I was just a child of wrath, fit to be destroyed
Walking down a crowded path, tryna fill a void
I'd pretend He wasn't there but
I could always feel his stare though
In His sight I would be careless
In human sight I was careful
(Melodies)
It's grace, grace
When I was a younger man, I would sit in church
Hear about a bigger plan
The preacher spit a verse, Jesus hidden words
I could hear the word clearly
Never did I ever know of such a treasure
I could feel The Lord near me, telling me to let go
I could see the law, He could see my thoughts
Who was I to get close?
An enemy of God, who chose felony over fidelity
So the penalty was high, let the evil die!
Who was I to see the light?
The wrath of God had been satisfied
It was by the blood of Jesus Christ
The love of God, gave me faith in God
That's the grace of God on my life
(Melodies)
It's grace, grace

Devine peace in my soul
High Priest and my Lord
Kind King on thy throne
My Jesus, my—
——
God told it to Adam
God told it to Eve
God told it to Abraham
Abraham believed
God told it Moses
And Moses wrote His decree
God told it to David
And David started to sing
God told it to prophets
God told it to kings
God told it to people with whom the prophets would plead
God showed Him to John
John started to preach
God's only begotten became flesh to be seen
Nate:
You are Light come to the darkness
You are Life come to the carcass
You are strife come to an end
In might, love, and defense
The bright son of the harvest
You are the I AM—the beginning
The high lamb—and the end—at the
Right hand of the Father
You are the Godman, submitting
To Gods plan so willingly,
Lifeblood of the martyrs
You are, the radiance of God
With no gradient, no fading in the dark
Truth's salience hit the shadiest of hearts
Weighty with the law
Saving us from Hades with a call
Devine peace in my soul
High Priest and my Lord
Kind King on thy throne
My Jesus, my Love
(Chorus)
Matt:
In control from beginning to the end
We coast in your river 'till the living will ascend
Foretold in the Scriptures and the vision it is fixed
Where the imminent return of Your unending eminence
And we fall still. Paul says that we all will.
Call out and praise you with our lips!
Our mouths will offer you what you deserve
And forever preserved those who are His!
My God, lifeguard, incarnate
Emmanuel, God with us, dies in our place
In the ground, rises up, time to partake
Witness how Christ has come, cry along saying!

——
I see your throne through the darkness
Glowing in glorious light
I find my home in your presence
You draw me near to your side
(x2)
I see your throne, O Lord
I see your throne
Glowing in glory and power alone
I find my home, O Lord
I find my home
When you draw me near to you
You draw me near to you

I find my home
I find my home in you
When you draw me near to you

I see your throne through the darkness
Glowing in glorious light
I find my home in your presence
You draw me near to your side
(Ashley)
You will light the way
You will light the way
I see your throne, O Lord
I see your throne
Glowing in glory and power alone
I find my home, O Lord
I find my home
When you draw me near to you
You draw me near to you

Hey, I'm Nate. I'm an artist in central VA, making pop/hip-hop music. My music primarily reflects on God and living the life He has given us. I've been rapping since I was 16 when I came to know Jesus Christ. I've been growing as a believer and as a creative since then. My prayer is that the music blesses the Lord and the listeners. ... more
