Lyrics
Many years in the church I was born in the church can't change that that's my reality/ And im living in a world that's sees life in a different way going down like gravity/ And it hurts my heart coz I realize most of the time Ive been living like a pharisee/ Yeah I looked at my life and I looked at the Christ and I see a great disparity/ Stinks like cavity, see God chose my family,  and I can't run away coz im living the life that God chose so don't be mad at me/ Let's talk reality, see Christianity, its not about all the dos and the donts and the laws that we keep, no that's insanity/ see im living the life that God chose yes he died and he rose/ got my eyes on the price of the cross and the meaning to life not the price of my clothes/ So when im talking about life I don't mean live once but live twice/ And when I talk about Christ I talk about grace and the love of my life/ Don't get me wrong, I wanna run the race and be strong But the way I represent may be wrong Forgive me for my attitude may be strong/ It could be sad you see/ When you live  life more like a Sadducee/ and you treat god more like a falacy
And forget that he died for the pharisee/ like me


Chorus translated from Amharic
[ There is none who is as patient as you... who relents whenever we are downcast.... who is filled with so much power and authority.... your goodness is never ending 
There’s no father like you... your love does not shift.... filled with so much power and authority... forgive us hear us for your names sake ]


I was born in the church But let me tell you why many times it hurts/ I was raised in the church, I don't many times why it feels like a curse/ Car drive but why does it feel like im going reverse/ I represent life but why does it feel like im driving a hearse/ Talk about wealth but tell me does it always have to be about a purse/ Wanna speak about change but never do we ever wanna talk about a verse/ Wanna walk in the light but the lights too dark even in the church/ And we need to bring hope to a generation that's looking at the church/ No it's not about them but it's all about you and it's all about me/ And it's all about grace and it's all about love and it's all about He/ And it's all about fruit you can only bear when you're hooked to the tree/ Yeah I'm talking about the man who gives life and yeah makes the blind men see/ I know the church hurt you bad Took away the hope you had/ And in the end made you look bad Abandoned you like a kid with no dad/ More concerned about the clothes that you clad And the thought of a God makes you mad/ The reality of this makes me sad In reality I made God look bad
