(2 Chron 16: 9)
Steve: I keep stumblin' Jesus keep humblin'
me to keep my self seekin' pride crumblin'
I'm nothin' without you, there's something a/bout you no doubt your wild style is coveted
Cats wanna be like you, brag up on the mic
I'm mad give me the right to smash some of ‘em
there I go again lettin' the flesh flow again
I keep stumblin' Jesus keep humblin'
me to keep my self seekin' pride crumblin'
I'm nothin' without you, there's something a/bout you no doubt your wild style is coveted
Cats wanna be like you, brag up on the mic
it's sad that I can laugh, your not feelin' ‘em
most goin' to hell, got no Ghost in the shell
oh, Lord of hosts reveal that you don't live in ‘em
but let's start in the church, the set apart of the earth
and set a spark to purge, all of the leavenin'
Satan's confusin' em and the saints are confused again
Lord we ain't refusin' the fools, we're not listenin'
there's somethin' wrong with our ears cause when you talk we don' t hear
the son of Solomon's peers make our decisions and
they're misleadin' the flock and what they teach is a shock
they got my people in locks over the Benjamins
the world laughs and they mock, I get mad when I watch
and then I'm sad when I stop and see who the victim is
I feel bad for the sheep and all the cats that peep
the things that happen and leave thinkin' your villainous
But you get shafted the worse, with every chapter and verse
these bishops massacre surely you ain't feelin' it
I pray you snatch up the church and come back to the earth
until it happens we're hurtin' lamp is flickerin'
In the midst of the darkness, Lord give us your heart
the world‘s quenchin' the spark that you've given us
please rekindle the light so we can minister life
to all the sinister types tryin' to live it up
we don't know what to do and most folks in the pews they overflow with excuses, no one's getting' up
we need somethin' new it's gotta come from you
so here's somethin' to use, all we can give is us
Steve: What's gotta happen for the proper reaction
your the Father we're askin', Lord turn up the temperature
we get caught up in fashion, all talk and no action
God give us a passion be our emperor
we all walk in the night, we all wanna be light
this whole walk is a fight
there's no givin' up
I see the hungry and sleep, they want somethin' to eat
I got somewhere to be, I don't give enough
I say I'm strugglin' too, but it's the dumbest excuse
you try and tell ‘em the truth it takes a minute bruh
I've only just begun, there's so much to be done
we know what's gonna come they need a Deliverer
I don't write enough, let my life tie me up
readin' while I ride the bus, wishin' that I could minister
too busy readin' the Bible, not bein' the Bible
God bring a revival, Lord quicken us
Set our focus on you, we'll set our scope on the truth
we know our hope is in you, 'cause your risen up
we got a purpose to teach, a lot of earth isn't reached
and if the church is asleep, they you'll get us up
we're still feeble, body can feel the needles
like the little tingle you get when your limbs are numb
though when it starts it'll hurt, I pray it sparks a rebirth
a new heart in the church provin' you live in us
In the midst of the darkness, Lord give us your heart
the world‘s quenchin' the spark that you've given us
please rekindle the light so we can minister life
to all the sinister types tryin' to live it up
we don't know what to do and most folks in the pews they overflow with excuses, no one's getting' up
we need somethin' new it's gotta come from you
so here's somethin' to use, all we can give is us
The song "Spark" by Stephen the Levite is a powerful call to action for Christians to be humbled by Jesus and to let go of their pride. He acknowledges his own mistakes and asks for guidance to love others regardless of their behavior, and urges the church to start a revival and focus on Christ. The lyrics also touch on the current state of the church and its confusion, specifically mentioning misguidance by leaders and the absence of the Holy Spirit in some.
The chorus repeats the idea that the world is trying to extinguish the spark given to believers by God, and asks for that light to be rekindled so that Christians can reach out to those who are lost. The song emphasizes the importance of taking action and not falling into complacency or using excuses.
Overall, "Spark" challenges Christians to be humble, love others, and actively work towards spreading the light of Christ in a world that desperately needs it.
