From the recording The Covenant Still Speaks (QADESH MUSIC)
A warning against using only the verses we like. It calls us to read the whole chapter and let correction have its work.
Lyrics
Church taught us to chase verses whenever pain got loud
But the Book came to cut through flesh and silence what was proud
Cherry picking had us cozy where correction should have moved
We The Assembly don't read
We study to be approved
Cherry picking cherry pick
Snip snip what you like
Screenshot in your hand
Whole scroll outta sight
Pick pick for comfort
Skip skip for pride
Whole counsel pulled up
Now the scissors gotta hide
Snip snip pick pick
No sir not today
Whole chapter walked in
Made the slogan run away
FACT CHECK US don't dip
Don't clip what He say
Study to be approved
Let correction have its way
We was trained to run to Psalms when the night got heavy
Grab a verse for our nerves just to keep us steady
Pain was real in the field but the habit got deep
Used the Book like a blanket just to help flesh sleep
Opened Proverbs for wisdom but we skipped over fear
Called it life instructions but the covenant was clear
This ain't self-help paper this the King on His throne
YAHUAH's story and judgment His people His home
Sunday after Sunday pep pep pep talk in the room
Better me better money better life real soon
But where was repentance where the warnings and facts
Where the whole scroll bleeding with covenant tracks
We learned to crop the text then called it belief
Made comfort our teacher made feelings our priest
FACT CHECK US
Study the witness
Don't crop the business
We The Assembly
We study Book
Matthew fifteen verses eight through nine
This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth
And honoureth me with their lips
But their heart is far from me
In vain they do worship me
Teaching for doctrines the commandments of men
Hypocrites using Book to fit you
We The Assembly
We don't read
We study to be approved
They quote Matthew fifteen like that's all that He said
It ain't what I eat then they close Book and move ahead
But the chapter opened up with tradition on trial
Handwashing customs and a heart gone wild
He was checking their worship checking lips full of lies
Checking elders' tradition with commandments denied
Then He showed defilement where the roots really grow
Not the plate in your hand but the heart down below
Evil thoughts false witness pride moving slick
Mouth full of doctrine but the heart still sick
Then Hosea gets quoted when comments get tense
My people perish then they swing it like defense
But the verse kept speaking you stopped at the start
Made you feel sharper while it searched through your heart
Hosea four verse six
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge
Because thou hast rejected knowledge
I will also reject thee
That thou shalt be no priest to me
Seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy ALUAH
I will also forget thy children
So called woke Hebrews
YESSS it's your TURRRN
Cherry picking the Book
Leading others waking up to BURRRN
Same scissors in the church same scissors in the camp
Different fit on the error same smoke same lamp
One side crops for comfort one side crops for pride
Both miss whole counsel when the Book testifies
YAHUAH's Word says access denied
You found Deuteronomy then ignored commands
Found curses on the people then skipped His open hand
Barak YAHUAH
We The Assembly
Did that land
Found bloodline and bullhorn shout but forgot what it cost
Chosen never meant clean when obedience lost
Stranger joined to YAHUAH same witness still stands
But you cropped out mercy with a gatekeeping hand
You talk feast talk calendar talk garments talk land
But the fine print still asks where He chose it to stand
Before you teach people slow your mouth check twice
A comment can be a pulpit and error got a price
This ain't us throwing stones we was trained like this too
Had to sit with the scroll till the scroll told the truth
Had to let it confront us let correction come back
Correction ain't hatred rebuke ain't attack
If YAHUAH sent warning then mercy came attached
He don't cut just to kill us He cuts so we come back
James three verse one
My brethren be not many teachers
Knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation
Cherry picking cherry pick
Snip snip what you like
Screenshot in your hand
Whole scroll outta sight
Pick pick for comfort
Skip skip for pride
Whole counsel pulled up
Now the scissors gotta hide
Snip snip pick pick
No sir not today
Whole chapter walked in
Made the slogan run away
FACT CHECK US don't dip
Don't clip what He say
Study to be approved
Let correction have its way
If this made you study deeper
Say it Barak YAHUAH
If this made you check the witness
Drop FACT CHECK US
We The Assembly
We don't crop the witness
Cherry picking
The whole witness still testifies
Study it again
Barak YAHUAH
