Hook:
He came to save but was a slave to persecution
Chosen to face it for his father to use him
If it were our own power we wouldnt suffice
To divert from sin and go from death in to life
Verse 1:
He came to reign and serve a higher purpose
At his fathers whim and became a servant
Predestined to serve us as a sacrifice
To take away sin and pave the way for life
That hed give in abundance an enternal blessin
While ruled as king over the earth and heavens
And entrusted us lessons that we should pass on
And teach to the children as long as our dads gone
If I act wrong what example would i pass on
If it wasnt for his mercy we wouldnt of last long
But he gave us this chance to makes lives right
Instilling knowledge through the gospel of Jesus Christ
Because of what he done he had gave to us hope
To relinquish the enemys strong hold on our soul
Take heed to the scriptures cuz you can bet ya life
Itll make ya do a 180 n turn from death into life
(Hook)
Verse 2:
Born to a virgin to fullfill this calling
To reverse the curse of sin and man falling
Because of our eniquitys its me and your fault
We only made things worse like a wound in salt
Mankind is responsible for his bruises and beatins
Lashes and thorns cause the blood to flow like weepin
But because he did it even tho he was sinless
His reasons for us to create forgiveness
The same way each day must die to my self
As if it was me on that cross sacraficin my health
Physically i could never do it but ima try my best
Spiritually carry my cross till i see my death
Forsakin my self and all my worldy desires
For the work of the kingdom and Christ the messiah
Because if i didnt then Christ would have died in vain
Then the father would of lost his son the same way
(Hook)
Verse 3:
Amazement filled the towns after three days
The people were astounded the stone rolled away
Arose the savior who was born named Jesus
The very one that had been sent to free us
Sin couldnt hold him neither death or the grave
And for who ever call on his name they would be saved
Hes the substitute for sin and the death that it brought
Now its our turn to imitate him like we ought
We was dead in our trespasses till he made the switch
His life for ours to partake of this gift
A life of our own no longer subject to sin
Paid the ultimiate price so we can be born again
And not of this world or all of its dying pleasures
The rampid storm of damnation Jesus had weathered
He conquered the enemy making me alive in Christ
I am now dead to sin and brought from death in to life
(Hook)
