Sin

I was sick, up to my stomach with it

It clings to my soul and it leads me on

He hates it, therefore shouldn’t I?

It makes me rot, my bones were riddled to the core

It is my fallen nature and I do it so easily and it is within me

Embedded in my DNA and a part of what Adam has passed down for generations

Passed down for generations, with every generation, lawlessness

I hate it, but hate won’t separate us for all of mortality

Let me take you back

Genesis, the origins of the beginning

The beginning of disobedience and broken focus and twisted trust

Oh deception conceived, lies birthed and now we’re all hell bound from birth

Bound, in iniquity, destined for pain and misery

Hmm, let me paint a picture of Hades and make you dislike sin just as much as He does

There is weeping and gnashing of teeth for every inhabitant

There are hot flames and fiery torment that awaits every tenant

Everyone blaspheming God and worms that eat your flesh but they never die

A stench of death and the dead everywhere

Demons everywhere, no life anywhere

Satan alive in there, a place where hope dies everyday

Thirsty every time, you can’t quench the flames, never mind it anyway

Darker then darkness, there’s no hope of light anywhere

Hopelessness all around, you’re doomed for eternity

Fear gripping existence, it’s as if I hear the screams and wailing in the distant underground

Can you see, oh what a hideous picture, oh hell you Hades

Now let us consider, think with me

Remedy of remedies

You need to be born of water and the spirit

Spiritual regeneration and a fleshly heart

Oh what a transplant, God has been doing open heart surgery for millennia

I plead, die to self and acknowledge the defeat sin

Hinder him not, the risen king

Accept salvation and testify

Let his blood wash you clean to rectify

Justified, live not by sight

Fight for your right as a redeemed prize

Precious in His sight, you’re destined for heights above testing nights

I regard you mighty to save, oh Lord Jesus, you’re might to save

What does it profits a man to gain the world, but lose his soul?

I am for you, don’t get me wrong, I am with you

Surrounded by His grace and mercy, we’re more than conquerors

Soul, cheer up, be of good courage, for he has conquered the world!
