Brethren listen to this exposition
Paul wrote the Philippians some lessons for living
Written to them but it's real good text for Christians
So read it closely, I hope we can catch the vision
Chapter 1 he tells them he's blessed to get them
Co-laboring with him to serve the best who's risen
And that's he's confident the Lord will perfect in Christians
What He started and hearts will be corrected in them
Listen, he was in prison now maybe never getting out
But all he could think about was the gospel getting out
Some was even preaching Christ from selfish motives
Coming at Paul but dawg he shrugged his shoulders
His focus was Christ the Messiah man
And for Him "to live is Christ and to die was gain"
Yeah, he was hard pressed, but to remain in the flesh
Was more necessary so they faith would progress
He wanted them to strive together for the gospel
In one spirit, one mind, listen to the apostle
Maintain the same love, uplift your brothers
Don't just look out for yourself, but for the interests of others
[Hook: x4]
Our life is nothing, but Christ is all
So conduct yourselves worthy of His righteous call
Chapter 2: Let's examine five through eleven
The blessed lamb who resided in the Heavens
Said forget the wealth and emptied Himself
Came as a man and died for the brethren
Ultimate obedience, he died on the cross and
Through His humility Christ was exalted
Glory to the Father (2: 11), now we should have
That same attitude Christ Jesus had
And on to verse twelve work out your salvation
The Father works in us in this process of saving
Avoid dispute and prove yourself blameless
Children of God in a perverse generation
Cling to the bible, humility is vital
We see it in lives of Paul and his disciples
Serving him like father, some fellow soldiers
Let us rejoice, unite, and rep Jehovah
[Hook: x4]
Our life is nothing, but Christ is all
So conduct yourselves worthy of His righteous call
Chapter 3: rejoice in the Lord we serve
And forget about the flesh we nothing more than dirt
Man if anyone could brag bout they status it was Paul
But to him it was trash it and he counted it as lost
For the sake of the Christ, 'cause He gave us life
Not through anything we did but through faith in Christ
We righteous in the eyes of the Lord's that's blessing
Conformed to His death and His resurrection
Brethren, I don't claim to have attained perfection's
What he said but was reaching to what lies ahead
And encouraged the Philippians to model what he said
And not to walk in the flesh cause that walk is dead
But we citizens of Heaven who eagerly wait for
The one that we rest in Jesus our Savior
That's who the Lord is and He will surely
Transform our bodies in future glory
[Hook: x4]
Our life is nothing, but Christ is all
So conduct yourselves worthy of His righteous call
Chapter 4: he closes encouraging with words
In unity and harmony for those within the church
Rejoice in the Lord, bro our hopes in Him first
Let our thanks and our problems be known to Him first
Embrace the peace of God, you can bet on that
And whatever is good let your mind dwell on that
Then he thanked them again, for they gifts and concern
But no matter what to be content he had learned
Plus he was sure that he could do all things
Through Him who gave strength and can do all things
And he told them they did well sharing through all pain
And made sure they knew he sure he wasn't trying to get more change
God will supply all they needs he hoped they might see this
According to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus
The truth of Philippians I hope it hit you
And may the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you
I hope you like what you heard with me rapping these verses
But don't get it twisted, we just scratching the surface
There's more to be learned than this rap is saying
So read it, live it, learn it like the back of your hand
[Hook: x4]
Our life is nothing, but Christ is all
So conduct yourselves worthy of His righteous call
