Two Realms

(album: DayBreak - 2020)

Left hand, right hand, left hand
Left hand, right hand, left hand
Yea, two realms we exist in
Left hand, right hand, left hand
Left hand, right hand, left hand
Left hand, right hand, left hand
Yea, two realms we exist in
Left hand, right hand, left hand

White man, black man, white man
Dark skin brown skin light skin
In America still consequence
Of Jim Crowe Red Line type sins
So what should be the role of the Christian
Get to know the molds we exist in
Cause they real different
Left-hand civil dimension
Right-hand dealing with redemption
Call them 2 realms
Economics and politics
In the left-hand think flourishing
Preservation of life think nourishment
Government justice Romans 13
But the right hand work is another kind
It's more so bout our standing before God
It's the work of the church
Like proclaiming forensic forgiveness by which we're justified
See God is the ruler of the universe
And these the two ways that he rules the earth
Temporal realm and the spiritual
And they belong together watch God work
As a believer see we'll be in both
At war time time out with the peace
Right hand yea the word comes in weakness
Left hand we don't turn the other cheek

Left hand, right hand, left hand
Left hand, right hand, left hand
Yea, two realms we exist in
Left hand, right hand, left hand
Left hand, right hand, left hand
Left hand, right hand, left hand
Yea, two realms we exist in
Left hand, right hand, left hand

He quoted a scripture and told me to look at the black on black crime (what you do next)
I told him no Justice no peace he told me that that's out of line (what you say after that)
We holler defund the police he told me we're out of our minds (man they trying to flex)
I'm hollering we got to link they're doing it in Palestine

As-salamu alaykum I am not a traitor I just got a savior that's with the least of these
LGBT BLM I'm with them if they needed me as a co-belligerent against enemies
Anything or anybody or anywhere where they mistreating the innocent
I go against it with energy that's the affinity
Jesus meant when he said that they didn't come visit me

Clothing the naked and feeding the poor
Nobody perfect put feet in the door
Serving our neighbor might feel like a chore
Visiting prisoners this is the core
If governments corrupted swinging the sword
We stand against the injustice the more
These are the good works we seem to ignore
But this what the work of the left hand is for

Left hand, right hand, left hand
Left hand, right hand, left hand
Yea, two realms we exist in
Left hand, right hand, left hand
Left hand, right hand, left hand
Left hand, right hand, left hand
Yea, two realms we exist in
Left hand, right hand, left hand
