[00:00.0]Entitlement - Beautiful Eulogy/Urbano Courtland/Terry Thomas Joseph/Bryan L. Winchester
[00:02.5]Limited in mind limited in body ruler of our own domain
[00:25.31]Claim false authority like we're the ones who rule and reign
[00:28.93]The mentality of the majority is more than metaphorically morphing
[00:31.36]Into a misinformed form of who we were born to be
[00:33.95]Torn between blind perception and divine reality
[00:36.43]Torn at the seems our dreams are
[00:38.66]Built on a faulty foundation of fallacy
[00:39.96]This will be our fatality it's simply a formality
[00:42.11]See the casualties of war laid on the floor of the battle scene
[00:44.99]We worship how we feel we don't worship who we should
[00:47.53]Yeah we got it bad and if God calls it bad we call it good
[00:50.82]We covet what others have grab whatever we can
[00:52.83]Whatever we want
[00:53.39]We think it belongs in the palm of our hands
[00:55.49]Going along with a song and a dance
[00:57.1]Worshipping idols to fulfill our entitlement issues
[00:58.39]Addicted to the feeling we get when we get
[01:00.0]What we want so we pick and we choose
[01:01.63]Even the air we breath is a gift we receive that we think we're entitled to
[01:04.9]Even the air we breath is a gift we receive that we think we're entitled to
[01:07.85]They say you get what you deserve so we work hard to earn it
[01:11.020004]Earn as much as we can to determine our self worth and purpose
[01:13.7]Identified by what we buy it's a sad state of affairs
[01:15.82]And when we die we loose it all and just lay there
[01:18.229996]Naked and bare
[01:19.09]But none of this stuff can cover us
[01:20.68]No it never was enough for us
[01:21.92]Nothing we can work for to obtain can wash away the stain
[01:24.08]The only thing we're entitled to is judgement for the lives we led
[01:26.84]There's nothing we can hide behind
[01:28.0]In the end we need grace instead
[02:03.14]We spend a lifetime trying to find love in anything and everything
[02:05.69]This life has to offer it's true and often times
[02:09.23]We trade the temporal satisfaction for the things
[02:11.87]The genuine believer is entitled to
[02:14.73]I'm convinced that it's because they don't understand
[02:16.31]That there exists an order of benefits of redemption
[02:19.38]That's applied to his bride
[02:21.35]And the basis of his choice in election was for
[02:23.35]God alone to decide
[02:25.47]And it is not like an "invitation" that one might accept or reject
[02:28.88]But rather its the effectual calling drawing to Himself His elect
[02:33.48]Regenerating and enabling us to respond in faith toward Christ
[02:37.72]Giving us the gift of repentance and revealing the nature of His sacrifice
[02:41.94]Binding us with a true intellectual realization of our sinful condition
[02:46.27]Converting us and turning us from our previous malicious disposition
[02:50.53]Ultimately leading to a legal declaration by God
[02:53.29001]That we've been made right in his sight
[02:55.33]Justification being credited to us
[02:57.35]On the basis of the righteousness of Christ
[03:00.48]Adopted to be the children of God and grafted into fellowship
[03:04.02]Being bound together by the blood of Christ
[03:06.33]Into a common membership
[03:08.1]Sanctified by the spirit given gradual growth in holiness
[03:11.0]Increasing in our thinking and behaving
[03:13.71]In a ways that shows that were chosen
[03:16.33]And all the while being preserved
[03:17.94]And upheld according to his sovereign providence
[03:20.53]Giving us confidence
[03:21.82]That he will carry us to completion just like he promised
