Heavenly Things (Set My Mind)

​[Intro: Soft Acoustic Piano, 432Hz Solfeggio Hum & Pink Noise Rain]

(Mmm, yeah... looking up today)

(Lord, I'm leaving the heavy dirt behind)

(Wash it away, wash it away)

​[Verse 1: Intimate, Breathy Neo-Soul Vocals]

I’ve been walking through the valley, feeling tethered to the ground

Letting earthly things and heavy chains drag my spirit down

Tired of playing a part in a game that doesn't make sense

Living in the flesh, sitting on the edge of the fence

But the Word says if I’m raised with Him, I gotta seek the higher place

Where the Savior sits at the right hand, covered in eternal grace

I’m wiping the dust of the world right out of my eyes

No more looking at the shadows, I'm aiming for the skies!

(Aiming for the skies, yeah!)

​[Pre-Chorus: Rhythmic Claps & Deep Tom Drums Building]

They tell me to look down, tell me to play it safe

But I’m setting my mind on a higher, holier place

If I died to the past, then why am I playing in the dirt?

I’m taking off the heavy coat of all this earthly hurt

(Take it off! Take it off!)

My life is hidden now, safely tucked away in God

I’m opening up my lungs, stepping where the righteous trod!

(I-I-I'm ready for the shift!)

​[Beat Drop: Thunderous 808 Sub-Bass & Choir Harmonies Slam In]

​[Chorus: Massive Gospel Trap Belt]

I am dead to the earth, but I'm seeking heavenly things! (Heavenly things!)

Letting the flesh and the old ways wither under His wings!

Crucified with the Savior, I am leaving the past behind

Putting on the character of Christ, getting a brand-new mind!

When He appears in glory, I’m gonna stand in the light!

Putting the anger and the malice completely to flight!

(Pour it out! Pour it out!)

I’m dead to the earth, but I’m alive in the sky!

​[Verse 2: Snappy, Rhythmic Cadence with Trap Hi-Hats]

Galatians two-twenty is ringing loud in my ear

It is no longer I who live, but the Christ who is here!

I’m putting to death the sins of the heart and the tongue

Spitting out the poison that was stinging my lungs

No more filthy language, no more cutting my brothers down

I’m trading in the heavy chains for a heavenly crown

Tender mercies, kindness, humility, and grace

I’m letting the character of Jesus step into my space!

When relational sins try to pull me into the fight

I forgive just as He did, walking out in the light

(W-w-walking out, yeah! Forgiving it all!)

Living holy at home, bringing the truth to the day!

​[Pre-Chorus: Building Snaps, Claps, & Heavy Bass Swell]

They tell me to look down, tell me to play it safe

But I’m setting my mind on a higher, holier place

If I died to the past, then why am I playing in the dirt?

I’m taking off the heavy coat of all this earthly hurt

(Take it off! Wash it clean!)

My life is hidden now, safely tucked away in God

I’m opening up my lungs, stepping where the righteous trod!

​[Chorus: Explosive Gospel Trap Belt with Soaring Harmonies]

I am dead to the earth, but I'm seeking heavenly things! (Heavenly things!)

Letting the flesh and the old ways wither under His wings!

Crucified with the Savior, I am leaving the past behind

Putting on the character of Christ, getting a brand-new mind!

When He appears in glory, I’m gonna stand in the light!

Putting the anger and the malice completely to flight!

(Pour it out! Pour it out!)

I’m dead to the earth, but I’m alive in the sky!

​[Verse 3: Deep, Intimate Storytelling, Stripped Back Piano]

It’s not an easy road, staying dead to the fleshly desire

But the Holy Spirit walks with me, baptizing me in fire

Dwelling in God's Word, letting it richly take control

Singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs from the soul

Whatever I do in word or in deed, I do it for the King

Serving God wholeheartedly, letting the melodies ring

From the workplace to the sanctuary, I'm doing it unto the Lord

Sharpening my spirit with the double-edged sword!

(Double-edged sword... cutting through the dark)

​[Bridge: High-Intensity Spiritual Warfare & Heavy Drums]

I stomp on the head of the enemy trying to hold me down!

I am seated in the heavenly places, I am wearing the crown!

I am dead to the lies! I am dead to the fear!

The voice of the Holy Spirit is the only thing I hear!

Watch the dry bones march! Watch the sanctuary bloom!

The power of the resurrection is shaking the room!

(Shaking the room! Break every chain!)

​[Guitar Solo / R&B Vocal Run: Yeah, ohhhhh, He's making me new!]

​[Chorus: Full Force Final Climax, Maximum Choir]

I am dead to the earth, but I'm seeking heavenly things! (Heavenly things!)

Letting the flesh and the old ways wither under His wings!

Crucified with the Savior, I am leaving the past behind

Putting on the character of Christ, getting a brand-new mind!

When He appears in glory, I’m gonna stand in the light!

Putting the anger and the malice completely to flight!

(Pour it out!)
