Beautiful Feet

(album: Rebel - 2008)

Pray y'all listen, it's all a true story
How beautiful are the feet of those who bring the good news

Carlos was born in killa Cali
Was walking 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 out the coma and was able to hear
A missionary shared the gospel to his open ears

He got saved, got trained, got discipled
Back to hood, you could find 'em preaching the Bible
He led a homie to Christ that's from the same hood
Part of a Church plant
Come on now ain't his name good?

This is blessing, I'm stressing, but this is not the norm
We need leaders and believers to help carry it on
But who would minister in a sinister part of town
I pray if Jesus is calling you, you would be found

Go, go, go (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

Eric used to go to Bible study as a kid
He got older, started doing what the hood did
A rival gang caught him slipping tried to take his life
But then the gun jammed on 'em, so they beat him nice

He woke up in the hospital singing 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 bachelors, 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 preaching, how will they know?
See, Eric is better used taught trues in this context
Somebody please plant a church in his projects.

Go, go, go (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

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, the broke and I'm saying

He had a heart for the poor had a heart for the low
And 1st John 2:6 is the way we should go
In Deuteronomy even though they under the law
The tithes every third year the poor get em all

I ain't saying you wrong if you live in burbs
I'm saying turn your attention to the hood, we hurting
Man if you ain't burdened please pick up your word an
Tho 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 would 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.

Go, go, go (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
Go, go, go and run with those beautiful feet
