Peculiar people on the narrow, gettin’ rid of ways of pharoah

I’ve written several lines of Christian rap code now, but it took a good SDA Sister to awaken me to the possibility that I could write a whole song. Moving these words thru my brain while riding the bicycle etc. gives me encouragement to stand peculiar for another day, even when it seems nobody around you cares. Jesus does😂
If anyone can put this to music that would be a blessing.

World likes them man-made doctrines,
Sunday, immortal soul, all go to heaven,
do away with God’s law,
his love’s unconditional anyhow

can’t keep,
path too steep,
I’ve done enough,
all you need is love.

Look at that little group,
cain’t even tell they all duped,
try’na make it to heaven by works,
let’s hit em where it really hurts,
in the pocketbook,
sock em to it,
keep Sunday or you lose,
the right to use,
your MONEY.

simple and healthy – no meat coffee or tea,
just following the God-man from Galilee,
who didn’t work his way to heaven,
just followed the law even keepin’ out leaven.

always keep,
his commands are deep,
lookin’ to do more,
a heaven’s in store.

savin’ funds and sendin’ ’em to missions,
out we go for souls we fishin’,
bringin’ the poor inside our home,
massagin’ rich folks’ hearts of stone.
admittin’ freely our need,
of a Savior to bleed,
wash from sin’s smear,
better than money, conscience is clear.

Avoiding movies no alcohol here,
pride is the biggest sin we fear,
don’t need no rolex wrapping our bones,
happy no longer keepin’ up with the Jones.

Keepin’ up with Jesus,
his love frees us,
from our guilt,
by what he spilt.

Prayin’ for our enemies,
blessin’ those who persecute,
shootin’ them a love arrow,
so they’ll repent and join these….
