(Verse 1)
(Heavy, driving bassline starts, electric guitar rings out)
They call me a preacher, say my message is flawed
But I got this mission from the living God
Not from committees, not from a human hand
A direct transmission, across the promised land.
I see you turning, a fast fade-out in the dark
Leaving the true light, for a flickering spark.
You’re chasing a different sound, a hollow beat
A twisted Good News, and your freedom's incomplete.
(Pre-Chorus)
Let the curse fall on anyone, even an angel on high
Who brings a different gospel, a beautiful lie!
I’m not here for the critics, I’m not playing for the crowd
Gotta please the Master, gotta speak it loud.
(Chorus)
(Explosive drums, distorted guitars, high energy)
CRUCIFIED! That old self is gone in the flame
RESURRECTION! It’s Christ living in my frame.
NOT THE LAW! You’ll never earn your way to the right
It’s FAITH, baby, walking in the freedom light!
You are no longer a slave, but a child of the free
Set you loose on the cross, for eternity!
(Verse 2)
You know my history, the violence I brought down
Tried to tear down the Church, in every single town.
But God had a plan, before my first breath was drawn
To tear down the barricades, to greet the Gentile dawn.
I went to the leaders, the pillars of the faith
They saw the same mission, they saw God’s escaping wrath.
Then I stood up to Peter, right there to his face
When he played the hypocrite, and forgot God’s grace.
You can’t build the old system, that you already tore down
The Law’s a jailer, and it wore a judging crown.
(Chorus)
(Explosive drums, distorted guitars, high energy)
CRUCIFIED! That old self is gone in the flame
RESURRECTION! It’s Christ living in my frame.
NOT THE LAW! You’ll never earn your way to the right
It’s FAITH, baby, walking in the freedom light!
You are no longer a slave, but a child of the free
Set you loose on the cross, for eternity!
(Bridge)
(Tempo drops, a single, clean guitar riff repeats)
Oh, foolish Christians, who cast this evil spell?
You started in the Spirit, now you’re trying to perfect yourselves?
The promise came first, the Law was just a guard
To show you your sin, to hit you really hard.
But the Guardian is gone, now the Child has arrived
We put on Christ in baptism, we’ve been re-vided!
There is no longer Gentile, no longer Jew or slave
You are one in Jesus, and the victory He gave.
(Guitar Solo)
(Fast, emotional, and melodic solo that builds in intensity)
(Outro)
Don’t use your freedom to feed the cravings inside!
Let the Spirit guide you, let love be your stride.
The harvest is coming, you can’t mock the just hand
You reap what you plant, in this divided land.
I bear the scars, the proof of my boast:
The CROSS of Christ Jesus, and nothing else at all!
Amen.
(Drums hit hard, final guitar chord sustains and fades out)
