Sound (Titus)
VERSE 1: Lets take a look, at the letter Paul wrote to Titus
Yeah we bout to dive in, I hope you exited
For sure it's inspired, let's go and apply it
Arrive at conclusions useful to giving Christ His glory that He deserves, the story is in His word
Titus is all about giving Him glory as His Church
From Paul, a bonservant, to Titus, they both fervent
Both serving Christ with their life with the most urgence
Titus was his disciple, he left him in Crete
To keep the Church in order, his lessons complete
With rules about elders, fools who need help, and Jews who do fail, stay tuned, see what he tells us
It may seem far from us, just irrelevent text, look
What if we not pastors? but just rest for a sec
I promise I'll bring it home, let's invest in the text
About to hit you with the hook, I be addressing it next

HOOK: Let's be sound in faith, in doctrine, in speech, plus deeds
Rep Jesus the King, let Him lead us please
Plus we see He told us how we must be
Let's read and trust Jesus who freed us please
In our faith, in doctrine, in speech plus deeds
Rep Jesus the King, let Him lead us please
Plus we see He told us how we must be
Let's read and trust Jesus who freed us please

VERSE 2: Paul told him elders needed to be above reproach with love and hope, and livin' all the stuff He spoke
But then there are those who wear the clothes of elders but they bear the woes of false teachers not speaking truth, so don't select those
Correct those men, and defy 'em, they tryin'
To say they know God but by their deeds they deny Him
1:5-9 are the type of cats we wanna pick for leadership within the Church, them other cats we 'pose to fix (but hold up)
Don't tune me out, I hope that you'll endure and see that
These things are really marks of a mature believer
We can see that, and apply it to our own livin'
Instead of sinnin', trippin' and livin' with no vision
Don't miss it, chapter two, really addresses me and you
And everybody in the Body with some lessons we can use
So read it all and pick the parts that seem to be to you
Live out the sound doctrine, let people see the fruit
VERSE 3: Let's be blameless and show consideration for men
Cause we was just like them before He saved us within
Wasn't strange, we had rage and hatred for men
Disobedient, deceived and enslaved to our sin
But He saved us, and not on the basis of men
But thanks to His mercy regeneration begins
Poured out His Holy Spirit, man He placed it within
Justified by grace, thats so amazing for men
If we see this, believe this, we saved and free
Then let Jesus lead us to engage in deeds
Forget foolish controversy and stay in sync
With He who saved us, and raised us, His name is sweet
I'm praying as the Body of Christ we model His life
And reference the book of Titus to follow Him right
And we're an accurate reflection of His beautiful Church
Let us rep Him with our words and our beautiful works
