Checkin' for My God
The Ambassador feat. Lecrae Lyrics

People want to know about
People are interested in learning about

The sole devout God who got us
The one true God who created us and is faithful to us

Rolling out a carpet for Him
Preparing the way for Him to come and reign

Make way for the King
Prepare and welcome the King of kings

Lord Jesus, the Ruler, Lion of Judah
Jesus, the powerful and just ruler, identified with the tribe of Judah

Who'll take a doulos and make him a friend
He can transform a servant (doulos) into a friend and bring close those who submit to Him

They wanna know if and when
People want to know the details of

Did you begin if you're Him
If Jesus is God, people wonder when He came into existence

Who's mad Infinite
Who is the infinitely powerful and eternal one

Then you would be the Infinite Son
If Jesus is the Son of God, then He is also infinite and eternal

This would mean that you're God
This would indicate that Jesus is God

This would mean you're in charge
Jesus being God means He has ultimate authority

Cause only He was involved
God alone was the one responsible

In what precedes Genesis 1
In the events before the creation story in the Bible

Why'd you come to the Earth
Why did Jesus decide to come to Earth

When You're not part of the Earth
Since Jesus and God are not bound by the physical realm

And You got ultimate worth
And He is infinitely valuable and worthy of worship

And you plopped into a mess
And He came into a world full of sin and chaos

Why die for a people
Why would Jesus sacrifice Himself for sinful humans

Who got a passion for evil
Who have a strong desire to do what is wrong

Why let them lash You and beat You
Why allow Himself to be abused by those He came to save

When you supplied them their breath
When He gave them life in the first place

I think the Savior would say
In my opinion, Jesus would respond

You're right when you say the Creator's
It is true that the Creator

The only way that you straight up precede Genesis 1
Is the one who existed before the events of Genesis 1

We know the Father and Holy Spirit both did it
We understand that both God the Father and the Holy Spirit were involved

But John 1 says along with the Father and Spirit
The Gospel of John states that Jesus was also involved

It was the Son
Jesus was also part of the creation process

He came to the Earth with no stops
He came to Earth without hindrance or delay

Came to the Earth with no pops
He was not born of an earthly father

Lived on the Earth with no props
He did not rely on human support or resources while he lived on Earth

He's written the story
He is the author of the story of redemption

He died for a block
He died for a specific group of people (or 'block')

Cause He's a God that is not
Because He is a God who will not

Gonna be clowned or be mocked
Tolerate disrespect or mockery

Trust me He's getting that glory
Believe that God is receiving the honor and praise that is due to Him

So now we're kicking the truth, in the booth
We are sharing the truth of God in our music

We like to spit, cause it's few
We enjoy rapping because not many people proclaim the truth of God in this style

People who through the Spirit really wanna get with y'all
Those who are inspired by the Holy Spirit and genuinely desire to connect with others

Who forsake money, and places that's sunny
People who give up material possessions and attractions to follow God

And stages with honeys just to rep the living God
And even pass up opportunities to perform with attractive women to represent the living God

You should be checking for
You should pay attention to

Hey I be reppin' for Him
I am representing Him (God)

I drop the message for Him
I deliver the message (of the gospel) for Him

I only wanna give you things that get you checkin' for Him
I only want to provide things that inspire you to learn more about and seek after God

I want you checkin' for my God
I desire for you to be interested in and seek after God

People wanna know about my God and His forgiveness
People are curious about my God and how He grants forgiveness

Cats is holding at Him hoping I can get a witness
People are skeptical and looking for evidence or testimony about God

Cats is off their rockers, they knock us, we not tripping
Some people are irrational or hostile towards believers, but we are not bothered by this

When man's demanding answers bro we find them in the Scriptures
When people ask questions, we turn to the Bible and find the answers there

I know they told you that God ain't really s'pose to
People may have taught that God does not punish anyone because He loves them

Punish anybody cause He loves them and they're close bra
But it is not true that God will not punish sinners because they are His creation

But He knows ya, even if you hate Him He would hold ya
God knows and is aware of everyone, whether they acknowledge Him or not, and He is still willing to extend grace and mercy

I think it's time we seen Him better like a close-up
I believe it is important to have a more accurate and personal understanding of God

He does love us man but it seems we broke up
God does love us, but it feels like we have separated or distanced ourselves from Him

Sin brings a gap and it has to get closed up
Sin creates a separation from God, and it must be bridged in order to restore the relationship

He can't just let us off the hook man He shows us
God cannot ignore our wrongdoing, but He demonstrates love and mercy in how He deals with us

His forgiveness is tied, to Him who died and rose up
Our forgiveness is connected to the sacrifice of Jesus, who died and rose again

His love is so great, He gave the Son to save us
God's love for us is so immense that He gave His Son to rescue and redeem us

A free gift offered if you come and trust the One who changed us
Salvation is a free gift that is available to all who trust in Jesus and the transformation He brings

We ambassadors who rep Him so you get to know Him
We are representatives of God, sharing His message so that others can come to know Him

Here bro I wanted to get you open and checkin' for Him
Through this song, I aimed to inspire you to be more interested in and seek after God

People want to know about our God and His mercy
People desire to understand the character of God and how He shows mercy

Like don't He see us hurting and how messed up the Earth be
Some wonder why God allows pain and suffering in the world

I know that people in church be like, praise Him, He's so worthy
Many Christians declare God's worthiness of praise and honor

But how can He condemn folk who ain't heard Him in the first place
Some people question how God can rightfully judge those who have not had the opportunity to hear about Him

I'm sure that many people feel like they deserve life
There are likely many who believe they are entitled to eternal life

But it's death that we deserving cause we've all rejected Christ
In reality, we all deserve eternal separation from God because we have rejected Jesus as Savior

The world's full of murder, got ya lies, got ya hate
The world is characterized by violence, deception, and animosity

It's a wonder God ain't take the world and crush it into flakes
It is remarkable that God has not destroyed the world completely

Man it's mercy God's showing when a man's in a cell
God is displaying mercy when He extends grace to someone who is imprisoned

Doing 25 to life, but he'll never go to Hell
Even if someone is sentenced to life in prison, they can still have eternal life through faith in Jesus

Cause he gave his life to Jesus when we know that he deserved
Because the person chose to surrender their life to Jesus, even though they did not deserve forgiveness

To spend forever distant from the God who made the Earth mayn
Without accepting Jesus, a person would be separated from God for eternity

Mercy's when a person don't get what they should
Mercy is when someone does not receive the punishment or consequences they deserve

Like I should've got death but instead I got it good
In our case, we should have received eternal death, but through Jesus, we receive eternal life

So if you thinking God's wrong cause He's perfect and He's just
If you believe God is unjust because of His perfect and righteous nature

Just remember that we all should be crushed
It is important to realize that we all deserve punishment for our sins

You checkin' for Him?
Are you seeking after and interested in God?
