Lyrics
/hook/ God can save me from your fiery furnace and even if He doesn't know this I won't worship. They crucified Him for the things that He said. I won't deny His deity, I'd rather be dead.
Let it be a lie, I’d rather die by standing for Christ, professin’ him crucified, so I can rise, have new life, see him with my eyes, send me to hell cuz its wrong, I’ll be surprised, no author could write a story like God did, no man being honest can reject man sins. It’s the one single fact humanity has known from way back, works righteousness failed, believe that, but Satan wants to snatch the seed right off of the road, so false religions tell you, you earn it on your own, oh, grow old, you’ll know that you didn’t, and if you think you did, man who are you kiddin’, compare yourself to God its like dirt versus diamonds, but you compare yourself to men, you better keep minin’, for that diamond in the rough its a myth, you won’t find him, but if you stick your face in the dirt it’l be blindin’, or face Jesus think about him, no school of thought ever taught what he did, he lived in the sticks where he grew up as a kid, but he had righteousness, love, justice in him, this just wasn’t a man, those things describe God, he didn’t suck up to leaders, he walked where beggars trod, born in a manger, life always in danger, the way he lived as a king couldn’t be stranger, so show me your anger, cause I worship a man, Jesus said it himself he was the I AM. Call him a prophet, that’s what happened often on the earth as he walked it, but that’s not a fit description, you’ve changed the truth to fiction, and that’s what causes the friction between me and you, you missed the point of all history now its time for you to choose…
They called the redeemer, blasphemer, what does it mean? It’s the same thing you call me when I call him elohim. You hate the man Paul, he hated Christians. He persecuted them all, he just couldn’t listen, He believed Deuteronomy just like you and I, if a miracle worker says turn from God, let him die, but make sure you know how to interpret the signs, God came to earth, by human birth this is why, a sacrifice was needed to atone, only a perfect lamb would bring God’s children home, so he did it himself he let himself be killed, in order that his own requirements might be fulfilled, still he rose up and gave the command, that his disciples tell everybody this was his plan, every tongue tribe and nation was to be baptized, but first God had to blind Paul so he’d realize. The surprise he had when God said why, do you persecute me, why do my followers die? Lord, who are you, I don’t know you. I am Jesus the one you persecute, so when Paul was on the road, God changed his whole world, God wanted to use Paul’s zeal for his purpose. You may be the chief of sinners, but your not worthless, get workin’, and this is why we have Christian’s today. You and the apostle Paul aren’t that far away, strategic of Satan to make you hate the man with same convictions, Satan worked hard to change the message with additions now you hate Christians, listen I come to you cuz I don’t want to see you deceived, please turn from deceptions, I ask you please believe.
It’s love that brought me here, and I don’t fear, hate might take me out, but that won’t give me doubts, the things I do among you I’ll do by faith, and if I live to do some more its only by God’s grace. So far I haven’t suffered to the point of shedding blood, I don’t want to die but I’ll do it if I must. For my trust and hope is in the resurrection, and the only guarantee I’ve seen involves the crucifixion.
