Arthur's Life song : Are you for real?
By Nicky Moran May 2018
Verse 1:
Dont touch the sacred thing she said
but I brought that curse upon my head
how could sister know just what to do
The Lords prayer, only one I knew ooohhh
Verse 2:
Unborn life was gonna be taken
realising beauty, so mistaken
we wept and slept, we walked away
but he grew and knew what happened that day ooohhh
Chorus1:
Are you for real God? Are you for real?
can you do something for a guy like me? Like me...
I cant do it, this is my life
Unclean obsessions left me that night
Verse 3:
Three times inside, wanna be a tough guy
put me with the mobsters I would often cry
Even the guards knew I wasnt the same
Helpless, hopeless, how can I change?
Verse 4:
Outside in the mob, running with the brothers
haunted I was losing my kids and their mother
discharged with honour as fear gripped my soul
Laid down my colours, family my goal
Chorus1:
Are you for real God? Are you for real?
can you do something for a guy like me? Like me...
I cant do it, this is my life
Unclean obsessions left me that night
Chorus2:
He has my attention, found out He’s good
He satisfies and heals, I finally understood. Understood...
If its Jesus I need I’ll receive him tonight
He showed me His grace so I gave Him my life
Bridge:
It was on all me, the one convicted
haunted in my mind, felt so conflicted
couldn’t drown it out or drug it out of me
just a broken person, needing to get free
Sent me to His church, to a faithful preacher
Humbled me to learn, yes from the teacher
I cried out send me, make my life count
He sent me back inside, His story to recount
Chorus1:
Are you for real God? Are you for real?
can you do something for a guy like me? Like me...
I cant do it, this is my life
Unclean obsessions left me that night
Chorus2:
He has my attention, found out He’s good
He satisfies and heals, I finally understood. Understood...
If its Jesus I need I’ll receive him tonight
He showed me His grace so I gave Him my life
He showed me His grace so I gave Him my life
He showed me His grace so I gave Him my life
