A Daughter's Thoughts…

A couple of hours ago I heard the sad news that Enock formerly of Cross Movement passed away earlier today. He was just 35 years old.

His explosive evangelistic lyrics were among the first to draw me to Christian hip hop early on in my Christian walk. Let us pray for his family at this difficult time.

Some of my favourite lyrics from him below, the first from the song “House of Representatives”:

Gospel activist

advocates

of salvation · preparin’

for the invasion of Christ

the Body-snatcher

who will soon to come rapture us

a Kodak moment won’t capture this

miraculous event our final call is repentance

No moon, no star, no crescent

we give reverence

to presence of the Maker of the heaven’s and the Earth

who places is first

who can match the worth of the great I AM?

who blows on man and turns him back into sand?

God’s Lamb, the God-Man

with the hard hand

turns to ruin

the wicked and subdues them

rescues them who pursues Him

renews them

who’s tuned into the communion

of divine union

it’s no illusion

it’s the Most High rulin’

God ‘n human

Jesus, no man can stand next to

to whom all respect’s due

All hail Ixous

And from the “Human Emergency” CD, I loved the track he did called “Remember”:

His name is Jehovah El Gabor
A.k.a. the God of war, God of flesh
Who could tear you to pieces like carnivores
The blessed, majestic one who’s glorious
Was known to other nations as notorious.
Cause of His terrible acts
Battles didn’t last a half a days length
Not the way the Lord God parade strength.
It didn’t make sense
How he’d crush his enemies
In His mercies have the strongest man
On bended knee.
Relentlessly, exposing human shame
Making a mockery of human fame
The consuming flame
Showering brimstone, men thrown,
Cause they refuse the one seated on gem stones

Enthroned with power and majesty
It was tragedy to face God’s armies
The result was casualties and pillage
But men had to feel this holy spillage
On who’s god was the realest.
The God of Israel be the illest.

CHORUS(2x):
Who owns cattle on a thousand hills?
Who can slay any army on the battle field? The Lord (x8)

VERSE(2):
Peep His splendor ya’ll
Wave the white flag, surrender all
To the one who makes top contenders fall.
Snatching crowns off kings
Cutting short their off springs
He’s shocking,
More than what a thousand volts brings
Ask the king of Egypt
How deep is the ocean floor
Ask Isaiah about when he saw the Lord
Ask king Neb who put him on all fours
To eat with the beats until his pride was no more.
It’s clear, We don’t know who we’re dealing with here.
For years He’s taken fools and filled them with fear.

Jesus, the underdog is Judge of all.
Keeping tabs on the deeds of men like number logs.
When the Son strikes watch thunder fall
And cut asunder all
Who rejects the one who makes the winter spring and the summer fall.

CHORUS

VERSE(3):
Reject Christ you’ll regret it
Truth is what your getting
Off is how we set it
Off is how we let it
Narrows the path I travel
The ways been made clear
The father’s given supervision
To his children like daycare.
Serenade the one
Who I revere like Paul
But the redcoats ain’t coming
It’s God the Son coming through
With His glory thundering
He’ll cut asunder men spill the blood of men
For the love of sin
And the rejection of the blood covering
Which is through the new covenant
All hail the God ruled Government.
How much are Jewels worth?
They can’t match the true worth of the new birth.
Bow to my God and Creator of the Universe.
