The Gospel: the Power of God unto Salvation (Romans 1:16)

Join me on a ride

Back to ancient times

We talking bout the past

Some say antiquity

When you ended the year with a "B" and a "C"

The latter representing the last name of Him who came

And took the blame

Restored the lame

Undid man's fate past the father of Cain (Romans 5:12,14-15)

The only Man ever with sin-free blood

In His veins

I'm your tour guide

Sit back as I tell the story

Of how this God/man Jesus died

And rose unto glory

Back then capital punishment was worse than death

You might gasp in your breath

When you learn how life left

Or desired to run away

From its earth container

When these heinous acts were inflicted

On these, the convicted

I digress

Of the Lord's death, hear the remainder

A life begun in a manger

And begun to "end" as they bore nails in

His hands

Both of His feet

Of the pain Jesus felt

I cannot speak

He was sinless to the day

They strung Him up on the tree

High on calvary

The blood flowed down His extremities

(it shoulda been you and me)

instead Jesus took the rap for man's sin

and did so willingly

the cost of sin is death (Romans 6:23)

yall hold on peep

the price He paid, He paid for all

His Love's just that deep

So as Christ hung like a criminal

Darkness covered the land (Matthew 27:45-50)

The Father had placed the sins of man

Upon His only Son, the true sacrificial Lamb

But indeed this Son was @ His peak

So the other sun the Father had to hide

Know you not that if the Son of Man be lifted up

He'll draw all men to himself (John 12:32-35)

This precious life He did give up

And relinquished it to man

Then Jesus ROSE FROM THE GRAVE

And LIVES today

To complete the plan

Of redemption for man

Who, through Christ, can

overcome the sin

That dwells within

the flesh you now see and feel

hell fire wont consume it

please believe, its real

...that your sin brings to u death (Romans 6:23)

so, while u have breath

choose life

the Way of this Christ

obey the 38th verse of Acts 2

THEN

let His Spirit work holiness in you

that when this life is done

and the next one begun

you'll have overcome

sin and death; a world plagued by satan

you'll have what he lost through rebellion:

LIFE

with God Almighty in heaven

In Jesus' name, Amen.
