歌词
Listen, I don't put my faith in any of them dogmas (I don't)
In Buddha, Confucius, you can keep Muhammad (Keep him)
Any other atheistic scholars (Nah)
Or functional sages they try to collar (Nope)
My sin debt was higher than the purchase price (It was)
Only way to pay was by a perfect life (That's it)
That there is merits I can't afford
I needed the payment completely absorbed
So I trust in the person and work of Christ (Yeah)
The only way that I'm getting a pardon (The only way)
Is if payment's exacted from God incarnate (That's it)
He snatched me, took me up out of the darkness
My carnage and garment was darker than scarlet
And tarnish was hard and His grace was alarming (It was)
He came to pull me up out the grave
Was dead in sin, yeah I was once depraved (I was)
Enslaved to lust and my sinful nature
Set free by our sinless Savior
Nothing short of amazing grace
Hold up, 1 Corinthians 15 makes it plain
That the fact is Christ was raised and if He wasn't we'd be buggin'
Verse 14 states that we'd be going on and living this life in vain
We might refrain, praying that our sights has changed
But at the end of the day they say our minds engrained
With lies and trains society disguises faith
And there'll never be a day when we gon' see Christ reign
Man, they be snapping off with that moralism
But fail to see that it's just more religion (Can't see that)
It seems the goal is to destroy a Christian
Wanna shut us down with something more than prison
Saying that we just so foolish, way too exclusive
Be more inclusive, calling us useless and stupid
While tryna seclude us (You serious?)
You could peep it all on they programs
I know they say that we just some no mans
They love to see us fall like we won't stand
But we flying higher, we won't land
Proclaim the name, it won't change for y'all
They call it hate but we staying faithful
Proclaim there's only one way to God (Christ)
Hung on that lower case T for our capital crimes
Active and passive obedience
Plus His shed blood is what covered our blasphemous lives
The Master's design is His wrath will reside
Until Christ will take every sinful desire
And smash it to pieces, our passionate leader is freedom
We trust in the lone Messiah
It's one thing to say that He loves me
But the question is how do I know that He loves me?
And perhaps there are some of you here tonight
And you struggle with that
You struggle with actually believing that the Lord loves you
You trust the Lord Jesus Christ
And you have come to Him in repentance and faith
But there are some days when truth be told
You look at yourself and you wonder how, how could He?
And how can I know?
If you want to know whether or not He loves you
Don't you dare look inside yourself
You won't find it there
If you want to know whether or not He loves you
You look to the cross
That's where you find the answer
He loves us and He freed us from our sins by His own blood
What does that even mean?
Huh? He freed us from our sins by His own blood
Here's the situation
The situation is I'm guilty
The situation is I was born in sin and shaped in iniquity
I was born under the federal headship of the first Adam
The first Adam sinned and all of his posterity
Are born in sin because of the first Adam's sin
And our God is holy and righteous and He is just
And He must punish sin
And so here I stood condemned before God
Under the wrath of God and deserving the wrath of God
Under which I stood
And there was nothing that I could do to save myself
Because here was my problem
My problem is I had a sin debt and guilt before God
And whatever I could bring before God
Was tainted and shaded by my sin
So there was nothing that I could do
To rid myself of this burden
How? How then could I be forgiven?
How could God forgive me?
I'll tell you how God could forgive me
God sent forth His Son, born of a woman
Born under the Law
And Christ was actively and passively obedient to God
In His active obedience, the faithful witness kept the whole Law
So that He was not only intrinsically righteous
But He was actually righteous
Because of the perfection of the life that He lived
This is important because that righteousness
Can now be imputed to me
However, in His passive obedience
Christ, the spotless Lamb of God
Offered Himself as a vicarious substitute
Receiving in Himself the penalty that I owed to God on the cross
So that in His passive obedience
My sinfulness could be imputed to Him
And it is this double imputation
Whereby my sin is imputed to Christ
Paid for on the cross under the wrath of God
And Christ's righteousness is imputed to me
So that God, as Paul says in Romans
Can be both just because He punished sin
And the justifier of the one who places faith in Jesus Christ
That's how Jesus freed me from my sin by His blood
And it is our only hope
I tell you He's worthy
