Lyrics

This here is the distinction (it is)

This is where the lines are drawn

We recognize that we've been given the mind of God

So let's define it, dawg

By giving a bit of a demonstration

Sola Scriptura, the principle cause of the Reformation (check)

It's what we speak when we face the masses

It's our sole authority regarding faith and practice

So whether facing Catholics or the Charismatics

Know the word so you won't fall prey to they tactics (know the word!)

Yeah, let's start with its sufficiency

A lot of people tend to brush it off flippantly (they do)

Grab your Bibles and turn to Hebrews 1

Verses 1 to 4, the Lord has spoke to us through His Son

He's the final word, but another verse bears mentioning

Turn a couple pages back to 2 Timothy

Verses 15 to 17 are amazing

The Scriptures alone are making us wise unto salvation

If you ain't got the Scriptures, we don't need your opinions

The Scripture is God-breathed but given through some penman

God is authoritative, got sovereign dominion

He spoke and made the universe, we stand in submission

Sola Scriptura, we using Scripture alone

Sola Scriptura, we using Scripture alone

Sola Scriptura, we using Scripture alone

Sola Scriptura, we using Scripture alone

So what do we base its sufficiency and authority on?

It's safe to say without this point that the authority's gone

'Cause let's be honest, everybody want to knock religion

We not gon' listen to Scriptures filled with contradictions

And I don't blame you (I don't blame you)

Man, I wouldn't do that either

Not a schemer, so I'd never attempt to try to mislead ya (never)

So while we readily stressing the Scriptures' clarity

We also pressing upon the doctrine of its inerrancy (uh huh)

Those contradictions that you yapping about

Ain't contradicting when you take some time for hashing it out

Nah, so while some verses might seem rather complex

There ain't no problems when you honestly examine the text

And we could tell you all day, but you won't hear it at all

You'd never heed it 'cause what's needed is the Spirit of God

Last point, if it's any consolation

Peter said no text is from man's private interpretation

If you ain't got the Scriptures, we don't need your opinions

The Scripture is God-breathed but given through some penman

God is authoritative, got sovereign dominion

He spoke and made the universe, we stand in submission

Sola Scriptura, we using Scripture alone

Sola Scriptura, we using Scripture alone

Sola Scriptura, we using Scripture alone

Sola Scriptura, we using Scripture alone

Listen up, I'm not here to cause trouble, guys (not at all)

So in this brief time left, allow me to summarize (authority)

It's the only rule for us as Christians

Unless it's plainly listed, we ain't following tradition (sufficiency)

Some cults can be rather persuasive

But Scripture's all we need to become wise unto salvation (that's it!)

So even though it might sound real fresh

Your "Thus sayeth the Lord" better be found in the text (clarity)

This is a point we can't be stressing enough

A lot of people under the steeple be messing it up

And no doubt a lot of these cats need to be reprimanded

'Cause the Gospel's so clear that a

Child could understand it (inerrancy)

This is where we see the most hostility

But our book is unified with a hundred percent consistency (real talk)

These the reasons we won't give in to rivals

Spurgeon said to visit many books

But live in the Bible (Sola Scriptura!)

If you ain't got the Scriptures, we don't need your opinions

The Scripture is God-breathed but given through some penman

God is authoritative, got sovereign dominion

He spoke and made the universe, we stand in submission

Sola Scriptura, we using Scripture alone

Sola Scriptura, we using Scripture alone

Sola Scriptura, we using Scripture alone

Sola Scriptura, we using Scripture alone

If I were to put in a nutshell the difference between

The Reformation and an apostate Roman Catholicism

Notice I don't say Roman Catholic Church

I don't believe it ever was a church

But if I were to draw a distinction, this is what you would see

Roman Catholicism didn't care about the truth at all

It would go into a culture and, like a whore, would paint its face

Any way it had to paint its face in order to attract that culture

If it mean adapting some pagan god or some pagan ritual

It'd do whatever it had to do to reach the people

The Reformation comes along and says no, sola scriptura

We will not, we will not build the church according

To the changing whims of an ungodly culture

We will change that ungodly culture

By the power of the immutable gospel

Now you say amen, but look at what's being done in evangelicalism

Just open your eyes and look at what's being done

Even the so-called conservatives and evangelicals

Look what's being done

Find out about the culture, find out about the culture

Find out about the culture

Do everything you can

Look, stop worrying about the culture

Find out about God

Find out about Scripture

Find out what God says in the Bible and just do it

Do what He says and stop-

You know what it's like?

It's a bunch of little boys playing army

Because it's a lot easier to get a tattoo on your arm

It's a lot easier to look cool

It's a lot easier to open up a coffee shop

Than it is to fast for two weeks

'Til the power of God falls down on a place

Or study Scripture eight hours a day

Until you think your brain is gonna melt

But that's what men of God do

That's why we're called men of God

We love people, but we know the best way to help

People is to spend most of our time with God

So that when we walk out among the people

We have something to say to them

"Thus sayeth the Lord," not "the latest poll says this"
