lyrics

(Nate Emmanuel)
They tell me “Wife up ‘fo yo life up, child”
I’m feeling fine, even though you didn’t ask
Or — maybe you did but you won’t believe my answer
Uh, uh, uh
Treating singleness like a cancer
Like it’s a sickle cell to the single greatest advancement
MARRIAGE
Good gift, good God who gives the good gift
But it’s not the God Himself
Got us looking to be emancipated
From what his hands created for us to love Himself
I’m just dancing with the hand He dealt
His own hand in which my hand is held
This ain’t a handicap or hand me down
Nah, Wedding garments unstained
They were given by the Son, don’t mar the Sons name
Uh uh, Wedding garments unstained
They were given by the Son, don’t mar the Sons name


(Macklyn)
Complicated compassion,
Idols pulling up rafters,
From the attic of my heart and soul,

Glutton for ever after,
But I’m not happy,
All alone inside, he tells me it’s alright,

Yet my mind’s racing a million,
Singleness like a prison,
Chains of envy, captivate my life,

Dealing hard with contentment,
Forgetting Christ is sufficient,
Trusting that he knows just what I need while I’m



Hook (Monielle) (Confession)
La, da da, la da da,
Single, Single

(Macklyn)
Turning off the distractions,
Solitude in the masses,
Fix my heart to where my soul is free,

Peace in midst of opinions,
His love holds me,
Resting in this season that he planned for me

Gaining Holy affections,
Growing godly connections,
Fighting worry, and joyful still,

Downplayed by all the nay say,
But God is faithful,
Trusting that he knows what’s best me


Hook

Bridge (Nathan, Macklyn, Monielle)
Could be a season, life’s a season in itself
And if I die today, did I die a dry tree,
Not with Jesus, cuz I’m clinging to his will
I abide in him, and he abides in me(Repeat x3)
