Promised Land
by Believin Stephen, Amber Anderson

Album: Battling Unbelief

First Verse

I know that God is sovereign, I don't need to be in control
I read and see in His scrolls, He's bringing peace to my soul
He rules and reigns over everything, He's keeping me till I'm old
I went astray but now I'm saved, was incomplete but now whole
False teachers in these pulpits, can't believe all that you are told
I'm not seeking after that gold, they misleadin people they fools
Being selfish is the norm, man I fell again into porn
Conviction pierced my heart it started to melt like when it gets warm
God knows me plus He chose me, yea it was well before I was born
I run to Him, my covering, (He's) my shelter up in the storm
I suppose everyone knows, that lust and pride are not right
So how does dirty sinful man get justified in God's sight?
Tryin by works will drive ya bezerk, cause ya sin remains
Only by grace through faith is how salvation is obtained
God must punish sin, that's why Christ on the cross did hang
Took the wrath that we deserve, (suffered)much affliction and pain

Hook feat. Amber Anderson (written by Tragic Hero)
I'm going to the promised land
I don't even know how I got another chance
All I know is I've been running from the start
You're the One I follow
Going through some harder days
I don't know about tomorrow
But I'm going to the promised land
I don't even know how I got another chance
In the end it might be no one (else)
But my life keeps going, my life keeps going.

Second Verse

I am slipping yet again, feel conviction from the sin
I'm still pickin up my pen to write, I'm spittin and Christian
I'm like will it ever end? Getting sick of affliction
This fight of faith is similar to lifting in the gym
You set your goals, you wanna get swole, and now you hype to go lift
You feel so ready, but the weight feels heavy, and then you feel like you should go quit
If you get through the pain, you'll know you'll see gains, if you fight just a bit
Believe me it won't be easy, but if you pay the price you will get
Results in the end, not from following trends, but by going hard in the gym
You're stronger than when you started, all of your friends, you're more brolic than them
You coulda sat on the couch but you lifted weights instead
The last few reps of you're last set made your face turn red
I know trials make us stronger even though we hate the trauma
God's timing's always perfect, even if it takes us longer
When you make it through the drama it increases faith and honor
So when snakes will come to harm ya, it's harder to break your armor

Hook feat. Amber Anderson (written by Tragic Hero)
I'm going to the promised land
I don't even know how I got another chance
All I know is I've been running from the start
You're the One I follow
Going through some harder days
I don't know about tomorrow
But I'm going to the promised land
I don't even know how I got another chance
In the end it might be no one (else)
But my life keeps going, my life keeps going.


Third Verse

Many times things don't happen the way you thought it would go
It feels awful man I know, but these trials cause us to grow
Stop and pray for sure (sho), but sometimes the Father says No!
You'll see Christ's footprints next to you if you walk in the snow
No you're not alone, not even if He seems distant
God's making us grow, by increasing the resistance
Simply trust His word, don't need to speak it to existence
I'm needing some assistance, on my knees with much persistence (praying)
I know that God loves me but do I believe in Him this instant?
It's one thing to say it's another to live it, he's teaching me the difference
Before I condemn, must look in the mirror, I'm shook with this fear, it's pushing me near
The edge of my chair, it took me some years, to see that He cares, in the book it is clear
I'm battling unbelief plus I keep on fighting the doubt
God's answered me so many times, man I'm trying to count
It 's a frightening amount, how could I deny the account?
Of Christ? He gave me life, so He's who I'm rhyming about!!!



Sermon Clips from Pastor Curtis Dunlap of Epiphany Fellowship

The end goal wasn't the land itself. The end goal was the type of people God wanted them to be when they got to the land. And so there was a purposefulness with which God moved them through the wilderness. God had to take that time of isolation, and wandering to make them a holy people.
