Nothing Is In Vain lyrics

You used to say sh*t
Like no act of kindness is ever wasted
Thought it was cheesy, a bit corny at the time
But currently, as I sit and write lyrics to this song
I realize that you were right
I’m realizing every hour I poured
Is not forgotten by the Almighty Lord
That the more
I chose to love
The more I glorified the God above
I’m getting the bigger picture
One that some can’t see
I know that I been chosen
By the OG’s so I can’t be
Spiteful, and angry, and consumed with vengeance
I have a chance to be ending
The cycles of hate
The chains of warfare
So I’ll attend heaven’s affairs
And share the abundance of grace
I’ll keep fighting the good fight and running this race

I can finally see
That nothing is in vain
Nothing is in vain
It’s becoming easier to turn the other cheek
I realize that commandment was given to the strong
And not to the weak
I used to be afraid to be a geek
For the Kingdom of God
Now it’s all I rep hard for and choose to bleed
I used to want to dine with those who laugh
But now I don’t feel the need to take a seat
I know that the kids look up to me
As a pastor, and emcee
The homeless I talked to, and bought food
The grace I showed to those who were rude
The girls I flirted with who got me in the mood
The children I played with who loved my attitude
It all has an effect, and it’s part of a grand scheme
My dignity can’t be shaken cause of the heavenly
That cloaks me with peace
God was there from the beginning when He was planting the mustard seed
