\par (Intro - E-Sential)\par
This life thing right here man,\par It's real serious,\par
You only get one of them you know?\par And I ain't talkin' YOLO either, (Haha)\par
Just sayin' be mindful,\par Life is precious.\par
\par (Verse 1 - E-Sential)\par
I rep Christ with my life,\par Gots ta put Him first,\par
Above all things,\par 'Cuz this land is cursed,\par
The old me dead and gone,\par Man we laid it in a hearse,\par
The burial spot was at the alter of my church,\par Had a grip on my old life but things got worse,\par
The devil's workin' overtime on the lurk,\par Couple friends died from drugs,\par
Ya they got murked,\par And you think that'd change 'em,\par
But they still touchin' that dirt,\par It's sad man,\par
I wanna see transformed lives,\par Before they swept in the tide,\par
Forever kept deprived,\par Nights of drunkenness and temporary highs,\par
Blinded spiritual eyes from all the tears God cries,\par
It's a battlefield here with Kamikaze suicides,\par Not knowin' what they do when they influenced
by they pride,\par The path to heaven's narrow,\par
But the gate to hell's wide,\par And to sum it all up,\par
I'm just sayin' "BE WISE".\par \par
(Chorus - TRUe)\par God is callin' you,\par
Be wise,\par Show up,\par
Do what you need to do,\par Before it blows up.\par
(REPEAT)\par \par
(Verse 2 - E-Sential)\par I gotta be livin' with the urgency,\par
Prayin' and seekin' fervently,\par All sin up in my life,\par
The Holy Spirit it be purgin' me,\par I'm a work in progress certainly,\par
Perfect doesn't occur to me,\par Until the day I'm with my Lord in heaven for
eternity,\par Spreadin' light to lost peeps,\par
Tryin' ta help them lost sheep,\par Back to the path before the wolves wanna have
a feast,\par It' gettin' crazy man,\par
This life thing can be a beast,\par So I cling to Christ,\par
Given sight when I hear him speak,\par People stackin' money, riches, cars, and clothes,\par
But they could gain the whole world,\par And still lose they soul,\par
As I look at wise words from a man named Job,\par In this world He came naked,\par
So then naked He will go,\par Why live a filthy life,\par
Heart dark as coal,\par When we could trust God and be washed whiter
than snow,\par So the main thing that I want y'all to know,\par
Is that life is but a vapor,\par Treat it carefully bro.\par
\par (Chorus - TRUe)\par
\par (Bridge - TRUe)\par
Lord I need you,\par Right here in my life, (In my life)\par
When I make moves,\par It's hard to see right, (See right)\par
Oh how long,\par I wanna mount on your wings, (Your wings)\par
Get a birds eye view,\par I need you to show me what to do.\par
\par (Chorus - TRUe)\par
\par (Outro - E-Sential)\par
Ya,\par This one goes out to all my friends ya know,\par
Passed away,\par Jon Gizdavich,\par
Donny Strite,\par Brandon Anderson,\par
Chris Bodell,\par Jake Soller,\par
Diego Collins,\par Curt Hullender,\par
Anne Johnston,\par Eric English,\par
Carna Couples,\par You know,\par
A lot of special people right here,\par And I feel like they serve as a great example,\par
Just to show how precious life really is,\par Choose Christ,\par
ya, Be wise,\par Be Wise.\par
