L.E.D. There Be Light (Single Mix)

(feat. Da T.R.U.T.H.)

[Verse One]

Back then if I was a Jew the life that I led would not be common

I would be in prayer shawls anticipatin' His comin'

Between 1 and 30 A.D. I'd be under the Romans

Thankin' Yaweh that I'm not a slave, Gentile, or woman

Now don't get it twisted a woman had to be honored

If you came from out of her womb you had to obey your momma

For the fact that she was a woman wasn't the problem

It's because she was forbidden to publicly read the Talmud

Plus only allowed to be either in the balcony-

Or on the floor divided to avoid problems

And forbade to pray out loud, when it came to religious life

For women it was grey outside, till Christ came in the picture

switched up some customs

Now these same women are providin' Jesus with substance

Leavin' Jewish men grieved, they ain't agree

Cause out of these women's means they ministered to their needs

[Verse Two]

Look at Jesus maneuva in spite of the culture

Taken ladies and shapin' em makin' em soldiers

Peep this type of behavior was taboo

Jesus seen with Joanna (Luke 8: 13) would make Him a bad Jew

But Jesus called some of the grimiest women

Like prostitutes even some of the slimiest women

In hot pursuit, women are weak is not the truth

And just to prove this point ladies I got the proof

Wouldn't be a Timothy without Timothy's moms

Eunice speakin' to Tim in them spiritual psalms

The way women were treated then these are similar times

But yet the men of God recognize ya strength

Who were the first witnesses of the empty tomb

Who birth Jesus being a virgin Holy Spirit consumed

Who stood for God way back in them Exodus times

And wouldn't even let em kill they son (Exodus 1: 16)

[Chorus]

Jesus did walk with women in a special way

This was odd for men in the first century

Look at God callin' women to the ministry

Jesus did walk with the ladies

[Verse Three]

Da TRUTH: Just think about this

You're real fit in Abercrombie and Fitch

And when you in the mall you thinkin' about how to catch fish

Imagine you in Von Dutch on a date

No lust in the place, dude got a crush cause how you hustle your faith

You ain't tryin' be tuck at the waist

Cause you spend more time in the presence of God than adjustin' your face

Listen let me cut to chase

And encourage the beauty of holiness you should just want to be chased

Flame: Ladies we know it's real and it gets hard sometimes

Especially with the pressure of being flawless now

You can't do enough crunches to be the perfect woman

God ain't lookin' for perfect size but a worshippin' woman

Ok you gain weight maybe had an abortion

Made a mistake had a divorce and

It still ain't over Jesus forgives this is the gospel

so don't let that stuff stop you
