Can somebody please pray for me so I could come closer to God?

[JCLF]

Lecrae's lyrics are so powerful. So much better than mainstream rap. There, I said it.  

[charlesbenson]

This is actually the best song ever. It has inspired me greatly and now I'm rapping this in my school's variety show.

[jackieferrarimusic]

Everything he said was so true. I like how he rhymes with true and edifying things that actually make sense, unlike wordly rap.

[Jacob.S.]

“Paul said if Christ ain’t resurrect, then we wasted our lives. Well, that implies that our whole life is built around Jesus being Alive.”
I can never get enough of this.

[Lenasantana]

Lecrae, a true inspiration for our generation. Thanks for sharing this video with us. Hope everybody shares it on the social media, like i do, so that many more young people be saved and get serious with God. God bless you.

[hectordubon]

A friend recommended this song to me, and there's a strong messege in this song

[Nbrolfiwriting]

A biblical view of how you can be saved by grace through faith.

[JoelHitchcock]

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me! Galatians 2:20

[austinkrause]

Best song ever. All glory to God forever. He saved me from gluttony and loneliness, praise Jesus forever. I always doubted but God was always there for me and through religion class of grade 10 that I didn't even really wanna go to, it drew me closer to God and I kept seeking him until I saw video of living waters. When the video was done, I knew what I had to do. I put my faith in Jesus Christ and accepted Him as my Lord & Savior. I knew if I was to die in that moment, Jesus would save me. I wanted to pull an all nighter that night of may/juneish of 2022 but I for some reason would rather listen to my mom. I had one of the most peaceful sleeps ever and woke up a changed person. It took me a while to turn from sin, it wasn't instant but my heart change was instant and that led to me living for Jesus. Thank You Jesus so much. If it wasn't for lecrae, I probablu wouldn't be saved. Thank You God for showing me in religion class through the blessed up remix that rap can be Christian and actually sound good. Along with Mike Todds message in the end about purpose chasing, where I knew even God had dreams for me. Back then I thought it was fame, now I know its giving God the fame but the fact that God didn't hate dreams, led me to seek Him. Thank You God so much, all glory to You forever and all the souls You saved. Thank You Jesus, hallelujah

[janiss]

That chorus makes me search my Soul! Have tears in my eyes

[lilbethie]

[kefiranessali]

I know a lot of people out there scared they're gon' die
A couple of them thinking they'll be livin' in the sky
But while I'm here livin' man I gotta ask why, what am here fo' I gotta figure out
Waste my life no I gotta make it count
If Christ is real then what am I gonna do about
Everything in Luke 12: 15 down to 21
You've really gotta go and check it out
Paul said if Christ ain't resurrected we've wasted our lives
Well that implies that our life's built around Jesus being alive
Everyday I'm living tryin' to show the world why
Christ is more than everything you'll ever try
Better than pretty women and sinning and living
To get a minute of any women and men that you admire
It ain't no lie

We're created for Him
Outta the dust he made us for Him
Elects us and he saves us for Him
Jesus comes and he raises for Him
Magnify the Father why bother with something lesser
He made us so we could bless Him
To the world we confess Him, resurrects Him
So I know I got life
Matter fact better man I know I got Christ
If you don't see His ways in my days and nights
You can hit my brakes you can stop my life
Then I lost my rights
I lost my life
Forget the money cars and toss that ice
The cost is Christ
And they could never offer me anything on the planet that would cost that price.

Don't wanna waste my life, life, life
Don't wanna waste my life, life, life
Don't wanna waste my life, life, life
Don't wanna waste my, don't wanna waste my
Don't wanna waste my life, life, life
Don't wanna waste my life, life, life
Don't wanna waste my life, life, life
Don't wanna waste my, don't wanna waste my
Don't wanna waste my life

Armed and dangerous
So the devil just can't hang with us
Christian youth them will stand with us
Living and driven, given a vision, fulfillin' the commission he handed us
London to Los Angeles, the rap evangelist
My daddy wouldn't abandon us
I gotta backpack full of tracts and I keep it on the Johnny Mac
So are you ready to jam with us
So let's go, give me the word an let's go
Persecution let's go
Tribulation let's go
Across the nation let's go
Procrastination let's go
Hung on the cross in the cold
Died for the young and the old
Can't say you never know
Heaven knows how many souls are going to hell or to heaven so we gotta go in to get them

Don't wanna waste my life, life, life
Don't wanna waste my life, life, life
Don't wanna waste my life, life, life
Don't wanna waste my, don't wanna waste my
Don't wanna waste my life, life, life
Don't wanna waste my life, life, life
Don't wanna waste my life, life, life
Don't wanna waste my, don't wanna waste my
Don't wanna waste my life

Suffer, yeah, do it for Christ
You're trying to figure what to do with your life
If you make a lot of money hope you're doing it right
Because the money is God's you better steward it right
And stay focused, you ain't got no ride
Your life ain't wrapped up in what you drive
The clothes you wear, the job you work
The colour your skin, naw you're a Christian first
People get to living for a job
Make a little money start living for a car
Get 'em a wife a house kids and a dog
Then they retire they're living high on the hog
But guess what they didn't ever really live at all
To live is Christ and that's Paul I recall
To die is gain so for Christ we give it all
He's the treasure you'll never find in a mall
Your money your singleness marriage talent your time
They were loaned to you to show the world that Christ is Divine
That's why it's Christ in my rhymes
That's why it's Christ all the time
See my whole world is built around Him He's the life in my lines
I refused to waste my life
He's too true to chase that ice
Here's my gifts and time 'cause I'm constantly trying to be used to praise the Christ
If he's truly raised to life
Then this news should change your life
And by his grace you can put your faith in place that rules your days and nights

Don't wanna waste my life, life, life
Don't wanna waste my life, life, life
Don't wanna waste my life, life, life
Don't wanna waste my, don't wanna waste my
Don't wanna waste my life, life, life
Don't wanna waste my life, life, life
Don't wanna waste my life, life, life
Don't wanna waste my, don't wanna waste my
Don't wanna waste my life
