You're not fooling anyone with your lack of acting skill;
now taking offense to what I say as if it is not real
'cause I myself done it for long always living in fear;
now able to spot it when someone is being insincere.
Just take a second and look at yourself in the mirror;
I can see it in your eyes the whole picture becomes clear
of the troubled heart that once enjoyed God's presence near,
but sin have hidden God's face from you, so that He don't hear; (Isa 59:2)
limiting you to rejoice and truly proclaim your voice;
spiritually off key; what's internally is heard audibly boy
and it is nothing; just lips moving mumbling something;
heart detached from the song of worship that we sing;
while the mind is occupied with distractions of the time being
like mine was many years 'cause of what's her name, sin;
until I was challenged to stop and really think why I come
and that's when God by His grace took off the facade that I had on.

Chorus:
Brotha, why don't you come back soon?
'cause the Lord doesn't give up on you,
but remains faithful and true
and this is what I try to do, try to do.

It's all on you my brotha if you neglect to meet
after many efforts to remind you it's something we need;
to receive the healing after some confessions to each other
knowing that a prayer of a righteous brotha has great power as it is working.
Prayer of faith saving the one who is sick
as God raises and forgives him even after the sins he did;
for reals, it's true, Elijah was like me and you
who prayed fervently three and half years for the rain not to come through,
then prayed again, the earth gave rain, and bore its fruit,
so I pray that the same thing spiritually happens in you too;
brotha 'cause I notice you amongst us wander from the truth;
and it's my hope that you forsake your sin and come back soon
as I try to save your soul from death and cover the multitude
of sin (James 5:15-20) that's in between hindering our fellowship dude;
just know that I'm here ready to chill and pray with you
with confident faith that God will hear us and make things new.

I need to go to sleep but the rhymes keep coming
inspired by Sunday's sermon, and I won't sit upon 'em
knowing they might help a sista or brotha in need
if they take a few seconds to read the two previous sixteens,
and notice it's not just my notions or personal intuitions,
but rhymes soaked in scriptures to make positive convictions;
serve a bitter portion of truth in the midst of contradictions
to direct them back at God and escape spiritual afflictions.
Now, I know how you feel of me getting on your case,
but do know this is a divine established means of grace
that among Christ's body we are called to serve each other
with unfailing love reach out to our slacking off sistas and brothas.
The truth is, I'm a sinner needing the same thing for myself;
don't think that I'm just blasting you with my own self-righteousness
'cause it's I who is hardened by my sinful ways
needing exhortation daily, while it's called today. (Heb 3:13)

Chorus:
Brotha, we need to come back soon
'cause the Lord don't give up on us two
but remains faithful and true
and this is what He always do, always do.

Stay within the fellowship of the holy church. We may not be perfect but bro we need each other, we cannot do it on our own, so hear me, and please don’t go, we need each other, come back and stay, praying for you.
