Story Behind the Song
Written as we both are teaching seperate studies through the book of Acts. We were inspired knowing that God is able to do the same today...
See if you can guess who 22eleven is portraying himself to be in his 2 verses? Can you figure out Remedy's lyrics without reading the lyrics?
Lyrics
(Chorus)
As we take a look back at the book of Acts
Ask what’s the Devine mind and design as I rewind there
There the place where God poured out His grace
On Jerushalom, Judea, and Samaria
And to the boondocks, every single area
Saturated, inundated, with the good news
Brought by the common folk with the beautiful shoes
(Remedy)
With nothin to lose, a couple of fools God happened to choose
And now we confound the wise,
The booze I used to abuse and I was confused
Until I put down my pride,
surprised that God would’ve used a dude who lived all of his life without clue
But now, a renewed mind and spiritual clarity help me define
The reason why the life of Christ is dwellin’ inside my quarters
We’re bringin the Gospel to all of the people crossin’ the borders,
followin’ orders, every corner
And yes we got something to say
surrender you’re life to the Father and let the Son come in on this day
Come on, you listen to this song while the battle rages on
It really ain’t that long till Jesus come back strong
so pick the side your on so you can straight live on
So choose the shoes you use you never will lose with beautiful shoes
so whats up!
(22eleven)
Grip a mic drop a mention of the ascension
Into the heaven Jesus received reception
Our apprehension grew as we gazed
Into the sky he never ceased to amaze
Risen from the grave, chillin’ for 40 days
And these 2 men gave us a promise
Much more accurate than prophecies of Nostradomus
That Jesus would return in the same manner
That we had observed, but for now the commands
Of the Son of Man stand at the front of mind and plan
To wait in J-ru and then to take it to the land
With no mic in our hand, but power from on High
So with one accord we focus, pray and supply
And I hear a sound profound and perplexing
And as the wind blows I realize my God is flexing
A blessing as I’m filled and I feel a thrill
That definitely no nothing, no drug, no pill
Could ever produce, ‘cause I am induced
By the most High God as Joel chapter 2
Came to my mouth and I began to shout
That this power is for you and for those who are far out
(22eleven)
Rod beaten and stoned, battered to the bone
5 times I received stripes from my very own
To death I’m prone, spent a night in the deep
Deep concern for the church causes me to lose sleep
3 times I was shipwrecked
Never even out there did I find a microphone to check
Catching wreck from the Gentiles and from the Jews
Stuck in the wilderness, burnt by falsified crews
In perils of waters, in perils of robbers
Often in sleeplessness, found in cold and nakedness
Always trying to persist in hunger and in thirst
Placing Jesus Christ first, ‘cause I am the worst
Or the chiefest of the sinners found in another verse
So this life, am I cursed? No actually I’m blessed
Believe Acts 2:39 and discover the rest
(Remedy)
Receivin’ the power from on high,
to speak out the Gospel day and night,
receivin’ the life or you will die
I’m saying abide or you will fry I-
No matter the consequence I’m making it known, God’s Providence,
and yes I bust it with confidence the Spirit of God is my defense
so go ahead and bring to the table your dead philosophies,
He was dead then rose from the grave fulfillin’ the prophecy.
Isaiah 53’s Lamb, Jesus Christ the Son of Man,
AKA I AM, He’d been planned Pre-Abraham, man
And that’s the truth for the youth’s or whether you are a grown man,
so step back receive and heed what’s spoken, look at facts please, please, be open,
Book of Acts help you use the shoes you’ve chosen.
