Witness, the power of the one and living God
Over each and every nation, the prostitutes and frauds
The back-slidden, sin-ridden breakers of the law
The sick of singing, least-giving pharisees and all
Of the people who haven't found their place
Who love without purpose and they don a smiling face
Slaves to the flesh, tongues sickening in taste
Witness, the power of His everlasting grace:
I was once a little boy, slave to my flesh
A young bird trying to leave the safety of the nest
Seeking out the pleasures that the world had to offer
Unbelief flowing through my veins with no stopper
The law was written on my heart but I rejected it
I learned the art of apathy and I perfected it
Expecting it to lead me down a path of gratification
Drunk and intoxicated with my carnal sensations
Who could love a kid addicted to his own guilt
Who could heal a mind bent on suicidal tilt
Who could save a man hateful and lying
Who could ever love a fool hopeless and dying
Behold Jesus on the cross crucified
Behold Jesus on the cross crucified
Behold Jesus on the cross crucified
The Lamb married to the bride in blood, "justified!"
Worthy is the Lamb, worthy to be praised!
Worthy is the Lamb, worthy to be praised!
Worthy is the Lamb, worthy to be praised!
He saved me from iniquity and hid me in His name! (Col. 3: 3)
Worthy is the Lamb, worthy to be praised!
Worthy is the Lamb, worthy to be praised!
Worthy is the Lamb, worthy to be praised!
He died and rose again, forever His Kingdom reigns
I would look at myself, never to other people.
I was the king of my jungle, looked down upon the feeble.
Started back in middle school; thought I was cool
Cause I was one of few dudes who repped hip-hop in my inner crew.
Identity distorted, started thinking my worth
Was derived from associations with rappers in a .
My pride grew alongside my knowledge of the culture.
As I got older, my arrogance acted like a vulture.
Biting the heads off of the ignorant and weak sauces.
Showing no regard or remorse for all of the weak-hearted.
I held the crown and did whatever I wanted.
I flaunted vanity and accolades; humility was thwarted.
Plus I claimed to know God; but that was all phony.
Didn't know the sacrifice on Calvary was all for me.
I was unaware that I was given a new life.
Free to live in the law of liberty that is in Christ.
Worthy is the Lamb, worthy to be praised!
Worthy is the Lamb, worthy to be praised!
Worthy is the Lamb, worthy to be praised!
He saved me from iniquity and hid me in His name! (Col. 3: 3)
Worthy is the Lamb, worthy to be praised!
Worthy is the Lamb, worthy to be praised!
Worthy is the Lamb, worthy to be praised!
He died and rose again, forever His Kingdom reigns
Living in ignorance, no sense of His preeminence
Given into sensuality, drunkenness was imminent
Immorality, drug addictions was my etiquette
Prerequisite to knowing me was blazing trees and drinking fifth's
Sunday goer, weekly attendant, strolling in hungover
Singing hymns, empty hearted words towards Jehovah
Worship was non-existent, committment? not my interest
I hated to go to church, why does God give me so many limits
Rebellious was my characteristics
Did everything I could to satisfy my fleshy wish list
Enticed by the kisses of the enemy
The father of lies had me speaking his native tongue creatively
Mastered the art of hiding my sins externally
Internally, my soul tied to a fiery infirmiry
For years I didn't care till things began to turn in me
Losing everything like my life was victim of a burglary
He gives and takes away, so now I see what He did for me
Losing everything to gain Christ, what a luxury!
Where would I be without His grace and Sovereignty
To Sovereignly choose to turn my life from this apostasy
Changing my nature where sin was the hottest commodity
To a heart pursuing righteousness and not hypocrisy
Removing my iniquities, convicting me
Giving me a ministry to exalt the One who's given me victory!
For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. 8But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. 10For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
