Eyes On Zion-Atom Tha Immortal

Eyes On Zion - Atom Tha Immortal I was once told this is my Father's world/ The world of God above/ And yet we struggle to live day to day/ Trapped in an environment of hostility, death, and decay/ Where the violent run free, Given to hate/ Our young men are murdered, and the young women are raped/ Before our eyes/ Yet we fantasize about Benjamins/ Acting depraved, Living in a world of sin/ Where.. the flesh combats what the spirit attempts/ Brothers hate each other for the color of skin, contempt/ For the next man, Even though he's from the next clan/ Daughters of Eve and sons of Adam/ ..Even though we live in this cursed earth, I have the attitude of the apostle Paul/ Who wrote, That our suffering is momentary/ And cannot be compared to future glory/ That awaits/ When the LORD Jesus elevates/ And takes my body and sets it free/ From the death that I die daily/ Waiting, For this mortal to be clothed with Immortality/ In Jerusalem, God will be my comfort/ He will call me his own/ He will wipe every tear from our eyes, and give me a crown of gold, that I will cast at the feet of his throne/ I must remember, That this world is not my own/ I'm like the Hebrews walking through the wilderness/ Clothed in sackcloth, trying to find the way like Thomas/ Looking for the land of the promise/ So when I start to feel this world is empty/ I remember it is, and that it was meant to be/ For our treasure is of the next one/ So I live life building on God's foundation/ With costly stones and gems, gold of righteous acts/ Crucified, I carry my cross on my back/ Don't distract, I'm looking at Zion steadfast/ For this world and all its sinfulness will soon pass.
