I wrote this for my son Aaron (18), who is an aspiring gospel rapper. Experimenting with this new form was fun and he was pretty impresed that his 'old man' could throw down some knowledge...where does he think he got it from? LOL

Aaron

 

 

I have a son that is a blessing

who has a righteous callin’

to help direct the lost sheep

and those whose faith has fallin’

But its appallin’ to him

when he sees the awful price
paid by those who have decided


to turn their back on Christ

Sacrificing their life

for a few dollars they make

the choice to reject the one

who was sacrificed upon the stake

Mistakin’, they are breakin’

the very heart of the one

who loved the World so much

that he gave his only son

It was done, don’t they see

that its because of His love

every breath they take for granted

was granted by Him above

It is love, like the dove

when it returned with a twig

offered hope that for Jah

no problem is ever too big

So this soldier, the one I told ya

who has a love for the Word

is my son and a blessing

just makin’ sure that you heard

 

What I’m sayin’, is I’m prayin’, that he’s stayin strong and obeyin’,

Displayin’ faith everyday in

God, not delayin’

He weighs in as a seeker of Truth

Spittin’ fast as Superman

out of a telephone booth

Crackin a tooth with his rhymes

they have the power of steel

and when they fall upon deaf ears

they have the power to heal

Can you feel the love and pride

that I have for my son?

if you can’t, just relax

cause you will when I’m done

Cause I’ve spun this little rap

and like a spider I weave

my words into a web

to catch all those who don’t believe

Those who grieve about their life

cause like sheep they’re truly lost

Faithlessness has been the price

and their souls might pay the cost

They’ve been tossed about by Satan

til they have nothing to give

in mental darkness they can’t see

the word of God can help them live

Decisive is this young soldier

the one I told ya about

who has a righteous calling

the Lord’s praise he’s spittin out

With a shout and a blast

as strong as Gideon’s horn

his words are breakin down walls

and for this he has been born…I’m done

When one uses their talents in
the celebration of their Creator
they are rewarded with "gold"
that the world knows nothing about.

Blessings to you and your son.
Wonderful to see you posting again.
