V.I.P.
[Preacher:]Someone say, "Boldness".
[Congregation:]Boldness
[Preacher:]The Bible says in Proverbs 28 verse 1 "The righteous shall be bold like a lion." Bold like a lion. Bold like a lion. The righteous shall be bold like a lion.
What is a real VIP?Do we have the balls to go to that party?Or do we rather stay and dance with vanity?Tell me now what's a real VIP?
And who are we to give that name to us?When we don't know the lives of othersWhen we can barely raise a fingerTo help our own sisters and brothersWasn't it in historyThe artists always spoke their people's needsNow we're gorged upon what devils feedIn the shallow form of MTVTelling the youth to worship futile dreamsAnd along for bling and for material thingsI tell you what a real VIP isA face that never was nor will be kissedTo whom exactly are we giving hopeWhen we stand behind the velvet ropeOr get our pictures taken with the popeLike some sick April fool kind of joke
Who is the really really real real VIPThe one the true and the most conquering kingWho looks around at everythingAnd sees exactly what we've beenHis is the face that never was nor will be kissedDo we think we'll be down on his guest list?When we're standing at the gateAfter being fashionably lateThere'll be no make up and there'll be no film crewsNo Vuitton bags and no Manolo shoesWhen he's presiding over youAsking you, "Did you love only you,Or did you stand for something elseBesides the hankering for fame and fame itself?"The one who always was and always isWill show you what a real VIP is
The fatherlessThe motherlessThe ravaged child at home who cried to youYou will be asked to say what did you doAnd what's behind this velvet curtain?Don't know but I can say for certainA face that never was nor will be kissedWill show you what a real VIP is
[Whispering:]How can you say we are wise and we possess the instruction of the Lord? Certainly for nothing your pains are labored for nothing your righteous are written. The wise will be put to shame. See? They reject the word of the Lord so their wisdom amounts to nothing. They dress the wounds of my poor people as though they are nothing saying, "Peace peace," when there is no peace. Saying, "All is well," when nothing is well..
[Whispering:]Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning it is now and ever shall be, world without end. Oh Yeah.
