TreBorn / Spirit of Truth - Lyrics

"TreBorn" aka "Spirit of Truth"
[4/26/9 West Salem Foursquare Church ~ John Fehlen]

Sometimes it's hard for me to not dance
A musician staying still in a b-boy stance
I worship with my heart not my lips;
not my hands, I lift you up & I can't resist
The holy spirit flows the living water grows
The mind won't slow how many knows;
what God has planned expects of us
We fear being alone we manifest lust.
Lacking trust, thirsting for a rush
Skipping breakfast hungering for lunch
Were so connected thanks to device
But no relationships, we relate to the vice
How can you take the holy spirit put it in verbage
Neglect the trinity churches getting nervous
Some don't get it and take out the less
In who's mind? All 3 are best so blessed

I confirm I've been born not to conform
Not once not twice but three times more
New creature cool feature
Not a t-shirt to stay warm
Born to my father. Not yet treborn
Revived by the son as a teen still not treborn
Renewed by the spirit now I'm treborn

Entered 1982 naked as can be
Michael is the birth name that they gave me
15 year old sinner new to desire
Gave my life to Jesus so i had to retire
I feel so alive lilt the first time FREE
changed my name call me Myk Gee
Walkin' like I'm changed looking so strange
Sharing my new life with my new name
All I did was brag and boast that's it
But I stumbled and tripped as I backslid
Blessed, but glorifying myself
Stressed, destroying spiritual health
23 years old ready for full submission
Praying for a vision send me on a mission
at Mount Cross in two tongues I'm baptized
Finally I died I realized this is life

NEXT TO HIM - Chris Treborn (Easter Song)

This Sunday April 5th, I will be performing "Next To Him" at Dayton Christian Church


I would like to share some extra details on this song. It is a journey. Following Christ to the cross. Consider it an Easter song. My poem of the Passion.



This is a song inspired by a few things;

The Beat itself...
I created this instrumental, it was powerful and moving, and I didn't know exactly what to do with it. I shared it with my friend Eric Swenson and he suggested I write about the crucifixion of Christ.

Crucifixion Description & Never Look Away...
It was weighing on my heart at the time, and I've been watching the Crucifixion Description by Hazakim over and over. I knew I wanted to give my point of view as if I were someone in the crowd, and as if I were the sinner on the cross repenting next to him. The first man to ask Jesus for forgiveness. I loved the perspective KJ-52 brought on the song; Never Look Away, and I wanted to add to the detail.

Comparing my life to the one I love...
Cas has this on her myspace; "If I can have any wish, and wish anything; I would wish to be a teardrop so I can be born in your eyes, live on your cheek, and die upon your lips." I loved it, and incorporated it into the song. I also ask questions that define the differences between you and I.

A Sermon on Transformation... (2 Corinthians 5:17 & Romans 6)
Cas and I went to church and the guest speaker touched on 2 Corinthians 5:17. That is the scripture that helped birth my name. She talked about simplistic concepts and ideas that personified transformation into a new creature. Being dead to sin and alive in Christ. She ended on the note of how a gross caterpillar transforms into a beautiful butterfly and flies away from its old life. It sounds so simple, but once you've lived this, it takes on a whole new meaning to you and you feel it in your heart.

LYRICS:

What is the distance between me and you?
Is it our religion or the world we refuse
are we the same if we’re both abused
is it life or death that we get to choose
I was in a crowd hundreds of people
watched him walking from the steeple
he pulled a tree to set him free
you could see the fruit I began 2 weep
sum people mocked him others just watched him
sum ignored him but no one stopped him
he was looked . Down upon
like a bum . Singing a song
he was so far but he felt so close
I mean I felt his energy so I froze
the distance was distant yet so near
on his face was blood, on mine was a tear

I feel separated, but I’m next to him
I see the distance but I’m next to him
arms stretched across he loves us this much
more than a touch - this is real love
I know this true, the kingdom awaits
our citizenship is beyond pearly gates
just passing thru as I’m asking you
can u feel him in your heart
or will pass on the truth?

I wish I was your tear born in your eye
live on your cheek before my demise
die on your lips sealed with a kiss
to be next to u I cannot resist
your presence I miss so I pray for u.
I don’t really know u but I really want to
I seek your face beneath your pain
I want to hear your story can u explain
nothing was said, just looked with one eye
the other was swollen as if he had cried
blood sweat and tears. Doubt fear n prayers
teaching and leading through out the last years
who wants to follow someone who dies
but we were surprised see how he rise
conquered the earth beyond the death
now lives in spirit af-ter the last breath

I feel separated, but I’m next to him
I see the distance but I’m next to him
arms stretched across he loves us this much
more than a touch - this is real love
I know this true, the kingdom awaits
our citizenship is beyond pearly gates
just passing thru as I’m asking you
can u feel him in your heart
or will pass on the truth?

filled with compassion fueled by love
I feel like a raven next to this dove
but he’s so dirty just like a bug
can’t see his face just needs a hug
know he’s had enough. He sed it was finished
tears from the sky as he diminished
I feel unworthy next 2 his royalty
he will feed us not like spoiled meat
why should he die before me? If he is innocent
I should ask forgiveness and so I repent
I can feel the distance we’re not so different
as I hang on this cross I’m not hesitant
I believe I will live. I will grieve I will give
he will rise I will ride. I will stride he’s my guide
caterpillar on a cross so many wonder why
this is the cocoon before he is a butterfly

I feel separated, but I’m next to him
I see the distance but I’m next to him
arms stretched across he loves us this much
more than a touch - this is real love
I know this true, the kingdom awaits
our citizenship is beyond pearly gates
just passing thru as I’m asking you
can u feel him in your heart
or will pass on the truth?
