Discipline

 “The Master prefers to refine by fire, and there is no fire in simulations."
~ Angel Wars
.

The Old Testament talks of scraping the dross from molten metals to enhance its purity. The Book of Hebrews talks of the Father disciplining the son He loves. It's one thing to read this and know it, but it's another thing to experience it and be changed by it.

STOMP!

by Kirk Franklin’s God’s Property Choir

[Kirk]: For those of you that think gospel music has gone to far.
You think we got too radical with our message.
Well I got news for you , you ain't heard nothin yet,
and if you don't know now you know. Glory, Glory!!
.
[GP Choir:] Lately I've been going through some things that really got me down.
I need someone somebody to help me come and turn my life around.
I can't explain, I can't obtain it.
Jesus your love is so, it's so amazing.
It gets me high up to the sky, and when I think about your goodness it makes me wanna stomp.
Makes me clap my hands. Makes me wanna dance and stomp.
My brother can't you see I got the victory. STOMP!!!
.
[Kirk]: When I think about the goodness and fullness of God,
makes me thankful pity the hateful I'm grateful.
The Lord brought me through this far,
trying to be cute when I praise him raise him high.
I keep the live beat bumping. Keep it jumping make the Lord feel something.
Ain't no shame in my game God's Property. Kickin' it wit Kirk ain't no stoppin' me.
UH stomp
.
[Kirk:] GP are you wit me?
[GP:] oh yeah we having church we ain't going nowhere.
.
[GP Choir:] stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp
I promise the stomp, the whole stomp, nothin but the stomp
.
[Kirk:] It ain't over. It ain't over

More Than I Can Bear

by Kirk Franklin’s God’s Property Choir

I've gone through the fire
And I've been through the flood
I've been broken into pieces
Seen lightin flashin from above
But through it all I remember
That He loves me and He cares
And He'll never put more on me
Than I can bear
.
I've gone through the fire
And I've been through the flood
I've been broken into pieces
Seen lightin flashin from above
But through it all I remember
That He loves me and He cares
And He'll never put more on me
Than I can bear
No, He'll never put more one me
I said never, put more on me
Uh, uh, never, put more on me
.
Never! 
.
His word said He won't
I believe it
I receive it
I claim it
.It's mine!
.
No, He'll never put more on me
Than I can bear!
