Church Boy
Makeshift3 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even when on our knees in prayer
A bond stronger than steel
Which is joined to our hearts
By our love for our God
With all the ways I messed up yesterday
God forgives me of them just the same
I've accepted Christ into my life and I take joy
He won't destroy this Church Boy
Erased of the mark
Sign of my sins
Acquitted on all accounts
How do I return the blessings you give me?
Dear Lord am I worthy?
Forgiving yesterday
Erasing all the pain
Help us go the right way
In our lives today
The lyrics of the song, "Church Boy" by Makeshift3, touches on the idea of redemption, faith, and forgiveness. The first few lines of the song highlight the importance of unity within the Christian community, reminding us that even when we are down on our knees in prayer, the bond we share as believers is stronger than steel. The author then goes on to talk about how he has messed up in the past but has found solace in the forgiving nature of God. By accepting Christ into his life, he finds joy and a renewed sense of purpose.
The chorus talks about being "erased of the mark," which is a clear reference to the idea of salvation and the idea that through faith, our sins are forgiven, and we are acquitted of all wrongdoings. The author questions his own worthiness in receiving such blessings, but the overall tone of the song is one of gratitude and thankfulness.
Overall, "Church Boy" is a powerful testimony by Makeshift3 of the transformative power of faith and the enduring strength of the Christian community.

Really well done video. I love how indie video's cover subjects that Hollywood is either unable (because of less "popular" content) or unwilling (they have no interest/actively dislike) to make. Awesome video. Really enjoyed it. Thanks.
