The first verse from Lecrae's Don't Waste Your Life is classic Christian Hip Hop. It's a standard I compare other Christian Hip Hop songs too.
I know a lot of people out there scared they gone die
Couple of em thinking they'll be living in the sky
But while I'm here living man I gotta ask why, what am here for I gotta figure out
Waste my life
No I gotta make it count
If Christ is real then what am I gonna do about it
All of the things in Luke 12:15 down to 21
You really ought to go and check it out
Paul said if Christ ain't resurrect then we wasted our lives
Well that implies that our life's built around Jesus being alive
Everyday I'm living trying show the world why
Christ is more than everything you'll ever try
Better than pretty women and sinning and living
to get a minute of any women and men that you admire
Ain't no lie
We created for Him
Outta the dust he made us for Him
Elects us and he saves us for Him
Jesus comes and raises for Him
Magnify the Father why bother with something lesser
He made us so we could bless Him and to the world we confess him
Resurrects him
So I know I got life
Matter fact better man I know I got Christ
If you don't' see His ways in my days and nights
You can hit my brakes you can stop my lights
Man I lost my rights
I lost my life
Forget the money cars and toss that ice
The cost is Christ
And they could never offer me anything on the planet that'll cost that price.
Outside of Christian Hip Hop, Hillsong's Oceans (Where Feet May Fail) is a great song. The lyrics are about Peter walking on the water, but we all have been challenged to trust God and have faith at some point so it's very relate-able.
