Death of Yolo
A roman cross, yeah Jesus died on that. See, I don't care what you believe, just read history; it's a historical fact
So the question is what will you do with this man of misery? Six hours on a piece of wood, see how it completely changed history.
But see we've pimped Jesus out, we've made his sacrifice foolery, We just come to church on Easter, and make the cross nice jewelry.
The cross though wasn't a symbol of faith; it was a symbol of death, I mean imagine if someone had an electric chair hanging around their neck?
So the question we have to ask what was different about that man that day, That could take something that kills and turn it into something that saves?
See He was unique, because He was innocent, God actually became a man?! Now that is different.
And on the cross he says I'm not dying because of me, I'm dying because of you, not just for your sins you have done but for the ones you will do.
And on the cross he got treated Jesus just like He was us. Poured out his wrath on the son, so that He might show He's just.
So and he took our filth; he took all your sin, The beauty is when you trust in Jesus, you were included in Him
But first, walk with me what it must have been like that night, When the son of God looked like He lost the fight,
No heartbeat, no breathing, no sign of life, Jesus tasted death, and it didn't feel right.
Have you ever let that sink in, that Jesus died? No, really, Jesus actually died.
3 days in the tomb. Lifeless laid his remains, Like, the King had given up his crown, like he had given up his reigns,
but all of a sudden comes Sunday something started to change, From the grave he heard a *thump*… and blood started pumping in his veins. Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Heart beating, blood pulsin', instantly Satan felt his power break because the son of God was dead, but now the son of God is awake
And every breathe he took, was like a punch to Satan's face Showing we are not under our sin but we are under grace. So rejoice with me because when He went to the grave, you did too And when he rose from the grave, you life became new
He says, 'my job is finished. Let your new life begin. You can actually have freedom, stop wallowing in your sin,' See the chains have been broken, the stones been rolled away God doesn't love a future you, He actually loves you today
So you're clean and you're spotless, the curse has been squashed, That's what baptism is, just showing you've been washed
So rejoice with me, because we aren't waiting the verdict, He's already said not guilty and the resurrection proves, He assured it
Cause our whole lives we've feasted on sin, and we couldn't pay the tab Yet Jesus walks over to our bill, and says I'll take care of that
So stop trying to pay for our debt, in fact God doesn't even expect it, Because the cross is payment given, the resurrection is payment accepted.
And instantly we were perfectly spotless, when we were spiritual whores, Because when he walked out of the grave, he left our sin on the floor,
And He turned around, looked at where his body lay, And said sin, ya that's where you're gunna stay.
So church walk in freedom, because you are free The resurrection is just a stamp, saying it's a guarantee A royal decree, proclaiming you are children of the King Even when your mouth can't let your life always sing…
