Paroles de Entitlement

Limited in mind,
Limited in body,
Ruler of our own domain

Claim false authority
Like we're the ones
Who rule and reign

The mentality of the majority
Is more than metaphorically
Morphing into a
Misinformed form
Of who we were born to be

Torn between blind perception
And defined reality toward what it seems
All dreams are built on faulty foundation of fallacy
This'll be our fatality
It's simply a formality

See the casualty of war laid on the floor of the battle scene
We worship how we feel
We don't worship who we should
Yeah we got it bad,
And if god calls it bad, we call it good

We covet what others have
Grab whatever we can
Whatever we want
We think it belongs in the palm of our hands
Going along with a song and dance

Worshiping idols to fulfil our entitlement issues
Addicted to the feeling we get
When we get what we want
So we pick and we choose

Even the air we breathe is a gift we receive
That we think we're entitled to
Even the air we breathe is a gift we receive
That we think we're entitled to

They say you get what you deserve
So we work hard to earn it
Earn as much as we can
To determine our self-worth and purpose

Identified by what we buy
It's a sad state of affairs
And when we die we lose it all
And just lay there naked and bare

But none of this stuff can cover us
No it never was enough for us
Nothing we can work for to obtain
Can wash away the stain

The only thing we're entitled to
Is judgment for the lives we're living
There's nothing we can hide behind
In the end, we need grace instead

-- end video, audio continues --

We spend a lifetime trying to find love
In anything and everything this life has to offer, it's true
And oftentimes we trade the temporal satisfaction
For the things the genuine believer is entitled to
I'm convinced that it's because they don't understand
That they exist in order
Of benefits of redemption
That is supplied to his bride

And the basis for his choice in election
Was for god alone to decide
And it's not like an invitation
That one might accept or reject
But rather it's the affectual calling
Drawing to himself his elect

Regenerating and enabling us
To respond in faith towards christ
Giving us the gift of repentance
Revealing the nature of his sacrifice

Binding us with the true intellectual realization
Of our sinful condition
Converting us and turning us
From our previous malicious disposition

Ultimately leading to a legal declaration by god
That we've been made right in his sight
Justification being credited to us
On the basis of the righteousness of christ

Adopted to be children of god,
And grafted into fellowship
Being bound together by the blood of christ
Into a common membership
Sanctified by the spirit
Given gradual growth in holiness

Increasing in our thinking
And behaving in ways
That shows that we're chosen,
And all the while being preserved, and upheld
According to his sovereign providence
Giving us confidence
That he'll carry us to completion
Just like he promised
