VERSE 1: This one's for my brothers men of God where you at? / we gon' rap about the subject for the reason God made us with strong backs / we were made in His image so we can display similar ways to handle our business except that we're limited / nevertheless He's given us work to express diligence / similar to what's read from Paul in the text killing it / in 2nd Thessalonians 3:7 to 8 / cause work is God's idea believe it ain't no mistake / He put Adam in the garden of Eden to work and keep it so for men to work is the will of God it ain't no secret / so peep it / if it's His will then we should seek to please Him / by trusting in His strength to work for Him whom we believe in / but it's only by His Spirit that we can ever achieve it / that's a call to righteous living like both letters from Peter / now if anything I'm spitting is settling as conviction / I pray that true repentance will bring about His redemption / cause we need men of God to rep Him well in this area / it isn't hard to tell how far we fell in America / the culture's telling us 30 is the new 20 / a lot of them dudes think that it's true and it looks silly / but Lord help us to grow as godly men and leave a legacy / for those that follow us to earn their bread with integrity / so men of God put your plows to the dirt / and show the power of the gospel off through the way we work for His glory //

VERSE 2: In Genesis 3:17 man was cursed at the Fall / and ever since then for man work has been hard / as part of the Fall we eat by the sweat of our brow (Genesis 3:19) / and wrestle with thorns and thistles till we back in the ground (Genesis 3:18) / so don't be astounded if work isn't peaches and cream / but in Christ our joy's found if indeed we're redeemed / so men of God you're not your jobs / you lost that identity / it was left at the cross when you were brought into His family / so know your role cause in the home you're the provider / the Lord gave us His scrolls so we can go to Him for guidance / let's come to terms that working is a means of grace / for your wife and kids to eat they need food upon their plates / but make no mistake this for my single brothers as well / how you gon feed your families if you can't provide for yourself / we gotta excel in training for godliness this is obvious / it's not just gonna poof and pop up inside of us / plus this is the time for you to use this opportunity / to give more of your firstfruits to God through your community / see your 9 to 5 can truly help you to provide for your family and others God will bring into your life / so Lord help us to grow as godly men and leave a legacy / for those that follow us to earn their bread with integrity / now men of God put your plows to the dirt / and let's show off the power of the gospel through the way we work for His glory //

VERSE 3: First Peter 2:12 to the end of the chapter / the perfect picture of how and why we work for the Master / it ain't the money though or the things that you can buy with it / yet it's much more valuable and carries life to your spirit / it's the gospel of Jesus / Yeshua the Messiah / the risen King of the Jews / above whose name there's none higher / this is our Master / the One on whose behalf of we labor / may our working hands reflect the excellence of the Savior / I pray through our integrity at work the world would notice Him / that we may be a means to let them see Jehovah's holiness / my brothers this is where the rubber meets the dirt and why the money in your wallet ain't the main reason we work / so sign up for the mission if you're officially in / keep in mind the Great Commission is to be fishers of men / we need to pray the Lord help us display the love of Christ / to our neighbors as we labor so that they devote their life / to the Savior of souls so let's work to make Him known / show His value through how you distribute what you own / cause you preach of His worth by how you're stewarding your funds / and it paves a clear path for what you declare with your tongue / lets pray the Lord help us to grow as godly men and leave a legacy / for those that follow us to earn their bread with integrity / so all men of God put your plows to the dirt / and let's show off the power of the gospel through the way we work for His glory //
