BYTHEBLOOD
I don't know if you can see this
But he wants to keep you bleeding
He ain't had a balanced entree
In maybe two or three weekends
I'm talking 'bout the enemy (enemy)
Preying on the weak and needy
He gon' make you feel like family (family)
In reality you ain't free
You won't understand it all
But I was chosen and called
You ain't gotta believe me
But loving Christ ain't easy
Bearing my sin on the cross
Covering all of my flaws (Amen!)
Forgiven completely
His love is like the deep sea (so deep)
I used to be the one to hate him
I didn't see us as related
You coulda labeled me a pagan
But lately I ain't got the patience
Some Christians they be fakin'
All the words they be sayin'
Heading out on a mission trip
That they treat as a vacation
I ain't really with that
I am not turning back (I'm movin')
I am not gonna snap
'Til you break every bone in my back
Please make no mistake
I will not even crack
I know I've been a hypocrite
I really think it's time to take off my mask
I will fight with every breath
For the kingdom
Wage of sin is death
But freedom is my income
Get this off my chest
Why you actin' like a victim?
God gave you a chance
A second one
And then some
He paid my ransom
My sin is cancelled
Even with this splinter in my eye
I'm looking handsome (on God!)
This is my anthem
And while I worship
Man I might as well just throw my hands up
Why you sayin' grace is cheap?
I thought the price was pretty steep
We hung the Father's Son on a tree
By the blood I have been set free indeed
Hypocrites up in the church
And none of y'all know the word (none of ya)
Someone cuts you off on your way to work
And then you're flippin' them the bird (tasteful bird ad lib)
And then your feelings get hurt
But you don't know their situation
You really gotta have patience
They could barely make enough to pay rent
But wait, lets face it
Church really needs a facelift
I'm really trying to embrace it
But the only thing that I'm thinkin'
Is with the flashing lights and the big screens
I'd feel more at home on a spaceship
Maybe that was too harsh?
Maybe I should rephrase it
I'm like jeez, I'm on my knees
Can't you see all these things that bother me?
God, just please be honest
Do you see me as a convict or a saint? (or as a saint)
Holy Spirit, make an appearance
I know you're here
But it feels like I've gone astray (I've gone astray)
And Jesus, please relieve us
We're being crushed by the wait
Why you sayin' grace is cheap?
I thought the price was pretty steep
We hung the Father's Son on a tree
By the blood I have been set free indeed
But he wants to keep you bleeding
He ain't had a balanced entree
