Congress MusicFactory - Purpose Is Ruthless Lyrics

[Intro]God is raising up a sent people with a freed mentality. With a different vision that can look upon the crisis and interpret it differently. And when you’re sent, you deal with God. Now that gives a church a great power and authority inTheir praying. Because they go straight for the jugular. It’s stronger than simply knowing what God wants to say. It’s stronger than simply knowing the mind of God. It’s stronger than simply saying thus says the Lord. This is thus do the Lord[Verse 1]Whether you bless me or test me I trust that you bring out the best meWhen I first considered this it distressedMeBut like in Gethsemane where Jesus took Peter and the sons of ZebedeeHe said, "If it's your will, oh Lord, please take this cup from me"But You chose to kill Your only Son; nail Him to a crossBecause Your purposes required itYou desired it. In the end He did too; we did too;He needed to because purpose is ruthless[Chorus]My pursuit is fixed to the very last daySo I’m going to run hard through the pain and changeI align my life with the price He paidTo live is Christ and to die is gain‘Cause His purpose is ruthless (ruthless)God’s purpose is ruthless (ruthless)‘Cause His purpose is ruthless (ruthless)So I’m going to hear and obeyAnd nevertheless I’m going to do what He say[Verse 2]He called us by name, saved us and made us his slaveA bond servant of Christ, we ordained for the last DaysThe Holy Spirit came, rearranged our DNANow it’s Apostolic Grace flowing through our veinsPurpose is ruthless and He led us that way (uh huh)Never swayed by anything that pertained to selfish gain (nah)Taught about the heart and the mandate to changeHeard His voice every day and obeyed for decadesWe never cared about the money, don’t care about fame (nah)Success or failure will never shift our gazeOnly care about that “Well Done” after the race (uh huh)And fulfilling everything proclaimed in Prophetic FaithHis Will is our food and only that sustainsWe about His business, we ain’t playing no gamesFrom a small carport in the back of TacariguaTo a global army full of mature believers![Chorus]My pursuit is fixed to the very last daySo I’m going to run hard through the pain and changeI align my life with the price He paidTo live is Christ and to die is gain‘Cause His purpose is ruthless (ruthless)God’s purpose is ruthless (ruthless)‘Cause His purpose is ruthless (ruthless)So I’m going to hear and obeyAnd nevertheless I’m going to do what He say[Exhortation]When Jesus comes back, He’s going toCommend us. He’s says, “Well Done myGood and faithful servant.” Not wellSuggested, or well thought. Well doneHe is looking at activity. He’s looking atThe implementation of kingdom activity inThe earth and the quality of theImplementation of that activity. WellDone[Bridge]So we run till we get the well doneHe says "jump!", "How high?" the only questionI'm asking, Lord make me match your passion to end thisBring Your purposes to a FinishResolve never diminishing; speak Lord I'm listeningProcess me #chiseling;On my life #pivotingOvercoming resistance is my stanceDeference to your preferenceYour purpose is ruthless[Chorus]My pursuit is fixed to the very last daySo I’m going to run hard through the pain and changeI align my life with the price He paidTo live is Christ and to die is gain‘Cause His purpose is ruthless (ruthless)God’s purpose is ruthless (ruthless)‘Cause His purpose is ruthless (ruthless)So I’m going to hear and obeyAnd nevertheless I’m going to do what He say[Exhortation]Every time you say the word Ruthless, that should always be balanced with the word compassionate somewhere. That ruthless is not towards people; it’s towards the exactness of the work. And ah, You always have to balance the demand for exactness of the work withCompassion in God and His attitude towards people. So there are certain things that have to balance themselves out all the time. So you can’t use this word without putting over here the balance into it[Chorus]My pursuit is fixed to the very last daySo I’m going to run hard through the pain and changeI align my life with the price He paidTo live is Christ and to die is gain‘Cause His purpose is ruthless (ruthless)God’s purpose is ruthless (ruthless)‘Cause His purpose is ruthless (ruthless)So I’m going to hear and obeyAnd nevertheless I’m going to do what He say
