So I made this simple rap about singleness, love and courtship. The scenarios are mere fictional.
Btw, sorry if I couldn't sing it. XD
I.
Still young, sixteen and into schooling
You met a gorgeous gal in your cellgroup gathering
She looked so passionate digging the word and
She seemed fond of you so the friendship began
In the course of time the closeness sparked
Suddenly you had butterflies in the stomach
But you better think twice and you better act wise
Is she to you a sister or the future wife?
If the latter then brother something's not right
Check your Bible verse 2 of First Timothy Five
Purity in all things is a Christian man's task
Don't ask a girl out if till death you can't part
Lead her to the Lord who owns her heart
Hook 1:
It's not the right time so surrender her in prayer
(Lead her to the Lord, point her to the Lord)
Be a man and shun being premature lovers
(Lead her to the Lord, point her to the Lord)
Let her now just see you as a spiritual brother
(Lead her to the Lord, point her to the Lord)
But lead her to the One who's always ready to love her
Lead her to the Lord who loves her most
II.
Now you're of the right age and you're earning your wage
Been praying for a girl, a pious churchmate
And you wanna know if she feels the same way
Don't rely on mere feelings, do it the Lord's way
First check your heart if love's being an idol
Then seek godly counsel, consult your pastor
Your parents, your elders, your Christian friends
Lastly, meet her parents, tell them your intent
If they've uttered approval you may now start
To go tell her the God-centered courtship you want
And be still trusting Him if she isn't ms. right
But if to courtship she clicked a big like
Lead her to the Lord who owns her heart
Hook 2:
It is the right time but not to be ungodly
(Lead her to the Lord, point her to the Lord)
Be a man and shun bypassing authorities
(Lead her to the Lord, point her to the Lord)
Let the whole world see that true love is patient
(Lead her to the Lord, point her to the Lord)
And lead her to the Lord as you show what love is
Lead her to the Lord as you woo her heart
III.
Now the boy met girl and it's courtship time
Don't you ever think now that the guarding is done
Compromise invites as intimacy grows
So be wise and despise always being alone
And plan your dates well like it's your wedding day
Read books, heed advices, perseveringly pray
Don't let your love life interfere with ministry
Let it be ministry, let the church oversee
Your love story, may it ever inspire
All the people who see you together in love
May you know your limits and protect her from yourself
And when you're all alone in a room that's dark
Lead her to the Lord by going out
Hook 3:
It is a great time to display God's glory
(Lead her to the Lord, point her to the Lord)
Be a man and shun a worldly love story
(Lead her to the Lord, point her to the Lord)
More than for you, let her fall for the Lord
(Lead her to the Lord, point her to the Lord)
Only then can you love her the most in this world
Lead her to the Lord with all your heart
