Allen Thomas - The King's Anthem Lyrics

I do this for the King
I do this for the King
I do this for the King
Look
Name one good thing that man ain't ruined
You try to point the blame
Like it was the snake that made you do it
Why blame Satan
When your choice made was straight foolish
Still stuck like a truck in the mud, can't move it
Yet these rappers promise money made a way through it
Music is just a tool
Don't become a slave to it
You came to change the game?
Nah you just brought lame excuses
Said you made it once you got famous
But you can't prove it
Freedom came through the cost of sacrifice
I'm talkin' bout the Son who took the Cross
Yeah, that's the Price
Jesus Reigns from the Blood that He gave
Tasted death, made a come back in just 3 days
How many dead folks you know
Walkin' round through your town
Claim to be God's Son
Then angels take'em up in a cloud
Please don't be fooled & believe a myth
At the right hand of the Father
That's where my Redeemer Lives
For the ONE Who shed HIS Blood
Nailed to a tree, yet He still showed love
While I was an enemy
His mercy came from above
Changed from what I was
Now-Now-Now-Now
I do this for the King
I do this for the King
I do this for the King
I do this for the King
I do this for the King
Through the test of time
Fruit of our lives will testify
Whether our motives were focused on Christ
Or self-promotion
Gotta start in our hearts & begin to overflow
Reflected in our lifestyle new beginnings in our home
What many call entertainment
Believers need to leave it alone
Livin' Monday thru Sunday
On our knees before the throne
Motivation shouldn't be rooted up in applause
Alotta things I'm free to do
But I don't do it cuz it's wrong
Eyes lookin' to and fro
All across the globe
For a righteousness that was told
In the book of Job
The heart of your ministry
Birthed in the truth
A star in the industry
The curse of a feud
Never water down
What the LORD has served for you to use
The serpent is smooth with his words
In the end, he'll murder if you
Get tricked by the lies
But there is hope in the Son
Follow the ONE - JESUS
Through His Blood, we will overcome
For the ONE Who shed HIS Blood
Nailed to a tree, yet He still showed love
While I was an enemy
His mercy came from above
Changed from what I was
Now-Now-Now-Now
I do this for the King
I do this for the King
I do this for the King
I do this for the King
I do this for the King
I do this for the King
I do this for the King
I do this for the King

I do this for the King
I do this for the King
I do this for the King
Look
Name one good thing that man ain't ruined
You try to point the blame
