Milk or Meat

I’ve been hearing the Word since I was young

Same old stories, same old songs

I know the verses, I know the lines

I can quote ‘em, but I’m still behind

Is it just noise in my head

Something I heard, something I said

Or is it changing the way I move

When nobody’s watching what I choose

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Am I just listening

Or am I letting it in

⸻

Chorus

Am I still on the milk

Or eating something real

Is the Word just passing through

Or shaping how I feel

Is it in one ear, out the other

Or alive in my soul

Am I hearing the truth

Or am I living what I know

⸻

Verse 2

Hebrews said there comes a time

When you should be teaching, not standing in line

Still needing someone to feed you slow

When you should be walking what you already know

Milk is good when you’re learning to stand

But meat’s for those who train their hands

Good and evil, right and wrong

You don’t discern it by singing along

⸻

Pre-Chorus

It’s not about how much I know

It’s what I do with what I’ve been shown

⸻

Chorus

Am I still on the milk

Or eating something real

Is the Word just passing through

Or shaping how I feel

Is it in one ear, out the other

Or alive in my soul

Am I hearing the truth

Or am I living what I know

⸻

Bridge (Spoken / Half-Sung – weight)

Am I just nodding along

Or letting it mess with my life

Is it sticking in my memory

Ruminating in the quiet

Faith ain’t proven by listening

It’s proven by the way I walk

The Word don’t die in the echo

It lives when obedience talks

⸻

Bridge (Lift – Sung)

Train my senses

Open my eyes

Let Your Word cut deep

Not just sound nice

⸻

Final Chorus

I don’t wanna stay on the milk

I wanna grow up strong

I don’t wanna just repeat the truth

I wanna live it when it’s hard and long

Let it settle in my spirit

Let it shape my goals

I don’t wanna just hear the Word

I wanna walk it with my soul

⸻

Outro

So speak, Lord

I’m listening now

Not just with my ears

But with my life
