(1st Verse: Willie Will)
Imagine the people runnin' a muck
Covered in muck and they stuck in their sewage
Disgusting and foolish but none of it has nothin' to do wit'
The love of the Son Who was soon to come as a
Jewish Carpenter because it was a part of the covenant movement
Because of His love you should peep what He does to pursue it,
He's gonna go through it and becomin' a husband to prove it.
None of it comin' wit' reluctance He's jumpin' into it
Like it's somethin' He wanted He didn't begrudgingly do it
A Lion and treacherous people was the merchandise
And dyin' a death that was lethal was the purchase price
The righteous for reckless illegals was the work of Christ
Applyin' the death to His people for eternal life
We can't imagine that Christ would jump in redeemin' us
And no we cannot fathom the price of somethin'
That's free to us but what did it cost GOD?
More just a heart scarred
On the converse GOD was marred on 'em cross bars
For a nation full of hard hearts breakin' GOD'S laws
Jesus didn't see redeemin' people as a lost cause
Beaten and stricken bleedin' leakin' from whippin'
But Jesus was seeking redemption
And now His people are bein' forgiven
What a payment from the Son of David sufferin' suffocation
Lovin' a nation has taken blood for salvation
Payin' for justification
What a high price the merchandise is
The Church of Christ, paid for wit' GOD'S LIFE
What a price to, what a price, what, what a price to,
What a price, what, what a price to,
What a price, what, what a price to paaay
What a price to, what a price, what, what a price to,
What a price, what, what a price to,
What a price, what, what a price to paaay
(2nd Verse: B-Doe)
Far from the righteous type, lawless inside the plight
Of the violent beside the guidance of tyrants advisin' strikes
Now life is like fight or flight
A disgustin' treatin' who trusted Jesus
So come on down because the price is right
It was a hefty cost it left me lost
But He was known for puttin' the stars up like Betsy Ross
And He created the Earth and yet was laid in the dirt
For all the wayward and cursed
He could have left me lost
In talkin' dead in my transgressions
I rebelled I can't question
The level of love leavin' this man restin'
Into His arms our GOD is realer the pious builder
No minor scripture triumphant pillar you not familiar?
Even with lots of scrilla that's not as big as a sip o'
The bitter cup of wrath entered inside o' the skin of a sinner
The universe's creator uses a Book to engage us
Not just peruse through the pages and just grab the scene
Yes He was Nazarene came out of magdalene
But His lineage had more issues than a magazine
But He was perfect and flawless never a hint of sin
So the verdict can squash all o' the distance then
Yet we have parted the godlessness of the wicked men
But GOD conquered the awfulness that would get HIS kin
We're from the dirt but HE loved us first
HE is vast, it reminds me of the hero Flash because HE runs the Earth
What a price to, what a price, what, what a price to,
What a price, what, what a price to,
What a price, what, what a price to paaay
What a price to, what a price, what, what a price to,
What a price, what, what a price to,
What a price, what, what a price to paaay
(3rd Verse: Stephen the Levite)
Thank you for coming to get us
Right in the midst of defiant pride and licentiousness
I should die in my wickedness Christ arrived and I get to live
Like I'm righteous though sinfulness hides inside I'm a witness that
I'm alive through forgiveness provided by Him who's risen
Ascended and intercedes. In addition to getting beaten
With fists and whips, the deceit of a gentle kiss on the cheek
And his friends who dipped after preaching
Commitment and his allegiance
Then getting pinned to a tree for the sins of sinners at beef with him
God the Father deserted Him, on the cross he was cursed
And a holocaust was averted for all who call on His mercy
The awesome cost of reversing the godless hearts of the Earth
Has been offered, slaughtered, and perched
At Golgotha's top for the church
Or the Bride as I would prefer it,
That's quite a price for her purchase
Though Christ the Messiah earned it,
The prize denies that she's worth it
The pride of life had her lurking at night to find her a merchant
To idolize her in worship and itemize all her services
Debt became her debacle till heaven's famous Apostle
Was sent to save her from hostile and hellish flames with the gospel
We meditate on the cost, you can celebrate it as often
As entertained in your thoughts of His demonstration of loss to
The many who subsequently receive the gift of belief
And repent when seeing him bleeding
The drips of which have been cleanin'
His kids in the mental sense, still they're ill-equipped to perceive
It until the physical gets the redemption it really needs
What a price to, what a price, what, what a price to,
What a price, what, what a price to,
What a price, what, what a price to paaay
What a price to, what a price, what, what a price to,
What a price, what, what a price to,
What a price, what, what a price to paaay
