Plumbline Collective: Ex (ft. JG Miles and Jay Remnant of iSix5)

 

I love this song because it reminds me where I came from, and that keeps me humble! I may not have been as bad as some of the guys in this song, but I was still "a wretched sinner in desperate need of His grace!" 
The chorus just blows my mind every time:

"I can't believe you died for me!

Ex-hypocrite, fornicator, slave to sin

At the point of the Cross I bow the knee

Ex-atheist, rebel, let the new begin!

You opened my eyes and I can finally see!

Grace through faith Lord, how can it be?

Ex-worshiper of self, I was addicted to me

Ex-hustler... but you set me free"

Perfect Storm, Ft. Battle Axe

I've been listening to a LOT of good Christian Rap lately. 

This song makes me want to explode! I wouldn't say I've had a hard life, but I have been through some times and situations that might be considered "tough"... and this song really just brings home WHY I had to go through what I went through! WHY He allowed me to suffer! WHY He did it all! He broke me down, but the man He broke down (if a man he could be called) was a horrible, crooked construction of lies and sin. The man He built back up was a new creation, for the purpose of His glory. He continues to refine me, and though the process may be painful, it's all for His Glory. He knows what He's doing, His plan is good, and He will accomplish it. Praise His name.
