Adopted
Adopted (feat. Barabbas Da Rebel & J. Paul) Verse 1: Paul wrote it to Romans to show them the benefits of atonement To illustrate his point, he used a word that's metaphoric And socially accepted by the populace Cause locally that Roman church was Paul's audience Where culturally this common practice got fostered in In chapter 8 that word adoption must have caught their ears Roman citizens, born into privilege Jew and Gents both knew about its benefits In a place where there was social class drama The government would recognize its own folks with honor This is where a change can happen, you see the actions active Your passive in the process, but your granted access So adoption was the option for the rich person Looking to leave a legacy if they were infertile I'm talking double portions, you get what's passed down You used to not belong. You got a fam now That type of grace will place a son in position Inheriting the wealth of the one who went to get em Legally, all the debt you owed has been erased You grow accustomed to your parents, start taking on their traits Your last name changes, but you can keep the first So it symbolize your ending is different than your birth It's Barabbas! Son of the father if you heard Golgatha, Bar Abba, God adopted on the third Hook: I was born by a river See my folks, they left me there But I was brought in by a Father I call Him Abba, He's so faithful And I'm so grateful to be adopted in Verse 2: Can't see His majesty because of his agony Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Malady like a tragedy but part of his strategy Started in Galilee but then he ended at Calvary Let's look at it practically, see benefits of his family, Like… The joy of knowing that in Christ you're accepted God is your Abba, your father, his kids he's never neglecting Don't work for man's approval seek your Fathers perspective And I ain't gotta' chase money, I've got every spiritual blessing I'm grafted into the vine, rooted in the divine Cause He had made up his mind I'd be His before time Like white wines or nice dimes I'm quite fine We call that blessed assurance because Jesus is mine! This one's a biggie, we think it's small, here's another one He disciplines his sons as a part of showing his love for em' He puts you in a family as part of his covenant And you ain't gotta' roll trees, you could roll with ya brethren The gang alliance against his son who remained silent And when he got on that cross, he paid for my violence No earthly father? Call him your Abba, your papa He loves giving what we need, ask for living agua, the main hydrant If you're adopted, I'm telling u its bug We're blessing God because we're blessed with His grace in the Beloved I was called I was redeemed and forgiven through His blood And now I'm adopted by his grace, while I'm soaking in His love Hook Bridge: I thank ya for saving me I thank ya for taking me You didn't have to do it but you did Oh, my Savior (x2) Hook
