Entitlement

Limited in mind  limited in body  ruler of our own domain
Claim false authority  like we're the ones who rule and reign
The mentality of the majority is more than metaphorically morphing
Into a misinformed form of who we were born to be
Torn between  blind perception and divine reality
Torn at the seems  our dreams are
Built on a faulty foundation of fallacy
This will be our fatality  it's simply a formality
See the casualties of war laid on the floor of the battle scene
We worship how we feel  we don't worship who we should
Yeah we got it bad  and if God calls it bad we call it good
We covet what others have  grab whatever we can
Whatever we want
We think it belongs in the palm of our hands
Going along with a song and a dance
Worshipping idols to fulfill our entitlement issues
Addicted to the feeling we get when we get
What we want so we pick and we choose
Even the air we breath is a gift we receive that we think we're entitled to
Even the air we breath is a gift we receive that we think we're entitled to
They say you get what you deserve so we work hard to earn it
Earn as much as we can to determine our self worth and purpose
Identified by what we buy  it's a sad state of affairs
And when we die we loose it all and just lay there
Naked and bare
But none of this stuff can cover us
No it never was enough for us
Nothing we can work for to obtain can wash away the stain
The only thing we're entitled to is judgement for the lives we led
There's nothing we can hide behind
In the end we need grace instead
We spend a lifetime trying to find love in anything and everything
This life has to offer it's true and often times
We trade the temporal satisfaction for the things
The genuine believer is entitled to
I'm convinced that it's because they don't understand
That there exists an order of benefits of redemption
That's applied to his bride
And the basis of his choice in election was for
God alone to decide
And it is not like an "invitation" that one might accept or reject
But rather its the effectual calling drawing to Himself His elect
Regenerating and enabling us to respond in faith toward Christ
Giving us the gift of repentance and revealing the nature of His sacrifice
Binding us with a true intellectual realization of our sinful condition
Converting us and turning us from our previous malicious disposition
Ultimately leading to a legal declaration by God
That we've been made right in his sight
Justification being credited to us
On the basis of the righteousness of Christ
Adopted to be the children of God and grafted into fellowship
Being bound together by the blood of Christ
Into a common membership
Sanctified by the spirit given gradual growth in holiness
Increasing in our thinking and behaving
In a ways that shows that were chosen
And all the while being preserved
And upheld according to his sovereign providence
Giving us confidence
That he will carry us to completion just like he promised
