I really appreciate ya'll comin' out to pray with me man
|
My heart's just been real heavy here lately man
|
I got a stack of letters here and I thought we should read a couple of 'em
|
And pray at the end, so I got one right here from Atlanta, it says:
|
|
Dear KB,
|
|
What's goin' on it's Ashley from the show,
|
That you was doin' with Trip Lee
|
The Crew and the Spirit was movin' man it was really dope
|
When y'all left the A, I was so encouraged in the faith
|
And I blessed the Lord for HGA
|
I wanna start this off by sayin' thanks
|
|
(There's a battle goin' on)
|
But lately, I've had this struggle with:
|
Secrets of my past in the past five years of singleness
|
(I know it) I'm lustin' I'm sinnin' but my lust here is different
|
Since I've been so alone I kinda long for the touch of a woman
|
|
(There's a battle goin' on)
|
And I know it's wrong, but dudes never ever show me attention
|
I go unnoticed, it was a joke but girls show me interest
|
Dudes at my church say that I'm the type of chick that they want (they lie)
|
But when I see the girl they date I know they really don't
|
I get jealous quick I hate the mirror I don't feel pretty
|
I've even contemplated surgery to feel skinny
|
I know it's real silly, the world tells me just embrace it - you were born this way (that's a lie, it's just lust)
|
|
I tried talking to the people at church but they just look at me funny only adding to the hurt
|
Now I'm torn 'cause the other day I stumbled over porn I'm supposed to be a leader man how can I move on? I know (this is a lie)
|
That's why I'm comin' to you prayin' I'm prayin' that you can pray for you sister to make it through
|
I'm crying as I write 'cause I wanna be right
|
Many girls have fallen and I don't wanna fall too
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
There's a war inside my heart and mind every day I fight it
|
So make me align to the truth and rely on your Spirit inside me
|
(It's time to make) war war war war war war 'cause life is a battlefield
|
War war war war war war 'cause life is a battlefield
|
|

Dear KB,
|
|
We're big fans of yours me and my lady
|
When you came to the show we was in the front row screamin' one one six goin' crazy all for the HGA, was a crazy night
|
What's even crazier is the girl I was datin' then is fiance, now I'm engaged to her
|
The words that you left man rocked us so I went and got her left hand rocked up
|
But if I could be honest I'm tryin' hard to abstain and not get her knocked up
|
Of course I want kids, but even more than that I wanna please the Father
|
But when I look into her eyes I can't concentrate man I can't even lie I wanna consummate
|
|
She's the one I'm sure, but I wanna stay pure
|
Scary the way that I'm yearning for her
|
Gettin' married but I'm burnin' for her
|
Hard for me to wait till she walk in that aisle
|
Down in a white gown, I'm thinkin' night gown, man I wanna do it right now
|
Why wait when I feel like she my wife now?
|
|
The way that I'm feelin' is natural, but KB is it godly?
|
Is it wrong lust, or strong love that's feelin' inside for wifey?
|
Honor the Lord in datin' her
|
Wanna do the same in waitin' but this temptation's a beast please pray for us
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Trip Lee:]
|
Dear God,
|
|
We come in His name
|
The slain and risen Who's runnin' this thing
|
Christ the Lord, the one who can bring
|
Healin' the hurts of the ones that He claims
|
We think we got nothin' to gain
|
By clingin' to Christ the love of the King
|
But He was under the same
|
Tempted and hurt He's accustomed to pain
|
|
Though they feel it feel it
|
Pain but they joy can kill it kill it
|
Feelin' like life been pillaged
|
Can I please intercede for a minute
|
This is
|
Not out of Your grasp
|
Your grace can shake, Your power can smash
|
I pray this hour and ask
|
Allow them to see Your power surpass
|
|
That sin devour their past
|
Drowning with mercy, shower them fast
|
Give 'em the faith to follow the Father
|
He's Abba, Your Honor, please swallow the trash
|
|
Dear Lord, you were never gone
|
You promised You'd make 'em forever strong
|
Your arm isn't short, it is very long
|
Make 'em like Christ, You get |
