Beautiful Feet

Carlos was born in killer Cali, was walkin’ down an alley
He caught a bullet in his head that left him bleeding badly
He lost everything at that moment except for his life
He lost his hearing, lost his movement, even lost his sight
He laid there in a coma, but man nobody cared
The gospel preached in his neighborhood, nobody dared
But ‘los got up outta that coma and was able to hear
A missionary share the Gospel to his open ears
He got saved, got trained, got discipled
Back to the hood you could find him preachin’ the Bible
He led a homie to Christ that’s from the same hood
Part of a church plant comin’ out in his name, good
This a blessin’ I’m stressin’ but this is not the norm
We need leaders and believers to help carry it on
But who would minister in this sinister part of town?
I pray if Jesus is callin’ you, you would be found
[Chorus – Dawntoya]
Go … go … go …
And run with those beautiful feet
Go … go … go …
You hold the truth that saves so run and shout it to the world
They can’t believe in something they ain’t never heard
So go … go … go …
And run with those beautiful feet
[Verse 2 – Lecrae]
Eric used to go to Bible study as a kid
He got older and started doing what the hood did
A rival gang caught him slippin’, tried to take his life
But then the gun jammed on ‘em so they beat him nice
He woke up in the hospital singin’ Bible songs
Praise God he had a place to learn the Bible from
But then he gets saved, and wanna preach Christ
They make him change his whole culture, whole way of life
He gotta get him a Bachelor’s, wear a suit and tie
Go to seminary, by then all his boys will die
Jesus came to invade culture outta Nazareth
And used a couple fisherman who people saw as hazardous
The feet are beautiful, if only they’d go
Ain’t nobody in the hood preachin’, how will they know?
See Eric is better used taught truths in his context
Somebody please plant a church in his projects
[Chorus – Dawntoya]
Go … go … go …
And run with those beautiful feet
Go … go … go …
You hold the truth that saves so run and shout it to the world
They can’t believe in something they ain’t never heard
So go … go … go …
And run with those beautiful feet
[Verse 3 – Lecrae]
In Luke 4:16 on down to 21
Jesus says he’s the Messiah, says he’s the chosen one
But more than that he quotes Isaiah that shows that our Savior
Targets oppressed, captive, blind and broken I’m saying
He had a heart for the poor, had a heart for the low
And 1 John 2:6 is the way that we should go
In Deuteronomy even though they’re under the law
The tithes every third year, the poor get ‘em all
And I ain’t saying you wrong if you live in the ‘burbs
I’m saying turn your attention to the hood, we hurtin’
Man if you ain’t burdened please pick up your Word and
Though this world is going down, while we here we can serve Him
We bring this to the streets because we knew the streets
I pray that more will be burdened to have beautiful feet
You never knew the streets but truth is what you preach
I pray to God you’d be burdened to have beautiful feet
[Chorus – Dawntoya]
Go … go … go …
And run with those beautiful feet
Go … go … go …
You hold the truth that saves so run and shout it to the world
They can’t believe in something they ain’t never heard
So go … go … go …
And run with those beautiful feet
