GOSPEL GANGSTAS

GOSPEL GANGSTAS - Backslider lyrics

6 months straight I could hear you callin

Now Im on my way to the altar and the tears keep fallin

Hit the front and collapse, thinkin back I was so strong

Now Ive been gone so long, where did I go wrong

I was walkin up right, testifyin of Christ

Shinin my light, every day I would read and pray

To be saved I was so proud

But compromisin on this got me hangin wit my old crowd

Thinkin chillin wit the homies wouldnt hurt

Now they got me back in clubs and Im missin church

Flirt, flesh gots me gettin at these girls again

Forgot the Cross, now Im lost in the world of sin

I tried to play it off, like I still had a grip

Had everybody fooled not knowin I tripped

But I couldnt fool myself, its was time for repentin and prayin

Cause deep in my heart I heard Christ sayin

[Chorus]

Backslider come back home

Believe me, you've gone to close

Jesus still loves me strong

Backslider to come back home

Walkin in the world wit out no relief

And you're full of grief cause you been robbed by the thief

God is sayin, its time to come back child

But Satan will condem you and make you feel exiled

But I know the story bout the prodigal son

And the Bible is true, and I know cause I was one

I read Luke 15 and started for my crown

There's many parables about the lost and the found

Now you might be the son that journeyed from home

For some appearened reason you decided to roam

But you found you were walkin in the danger zone

Til suddenly you realized it was nothin like home

Feelin you can't come back its too late, that's just pride

Cause standin in the way is like suicide

Its time to come back and return to the Lord

Get cleaned up, delievered and restored

Its time to come home

[Chorus]

The Spirits alienated and the feelin ain't there

You fell by the way side and nobody cares

The other hand is full of blood, guilt

But to take away your sin is why His blood spilt

You walk around wit a complex, all day

Everyday, but hey, I heard Pual say

Forget the things that are behind me, is what he said

Impress on foward to things that are ahead

In Revelations 2:4, words wont budge

God is sayin, come back to your first love

Come back home child to hug you again

Is my desire, cause God is married to the backslider

He never left you, but you left Him

What profit is a man to gain sin and lose his soul

See everything that glitters ain't gold

And that would be the range cause nothin is equals to your soul

Man exchange, so come back home

Cause you're a lost sheep and the wolf is on the roam

Forget your own life, lose it for Christ

Please don't look back, no don't be like Lot's wife

[Chorus]
