ApologetiX - Lived the Day You Died lyrics

Parody of "Love the Way You Lie" performed by Eminem featuring Rihanna and written by Marshall Mathers, Alexander Grant & Holly Hafermann (Matthew 2:11; Mark 15:23; John 11:49-52, 19:39; Isaiah 53:1-12; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-7) Don't understand why they brought You myrrh But that's all right because I like Your day of birth Don't understand why You'd heal, me, Christ But that's all right because I lived the day You died I lived the day You died I can't tell you what a thrill it is Like in bowling when you got your first strike It's like now I'm hitchhiking on the turnpike I broke free from doin' life, now it's midnight Then God comes along with a ride, invites me inside I offer stuff to compensate He doesn't want no payment – says, Brother, it's all be covered It's tough to take – I say, Lord, I'm a lousy clown, why'd You stop to save me You must be crazy, man, I'm such a waste Where we goin'? I'm redeeming you – no you ain't I'm bad, and someone like that can't become a saint It's too ingrained – He said, there's no one good – you're goin' straight I took command, and I'm winnin' you back – your soul is saved But, Lord, my past was awful, I feel so estranged I'm trapped – Who trapped you? I don't see no ball and chain I laid hands on you – you'll never do this alone again I guess you don't know the Lord's grace Don't understand why they brought You myrrh But that's all right because I like Your day of birth Don't understand why You'd heal, me, Christ But that's all right because I lived the day You died I lived the day You died I lived the day You died You know, they struck His body so much He could breathe when they hit Him But Jesus, He did not refuse, even though they whipped Him Not a warm, fuzzy feeling, gettin' k**ed just for livin' Like He's some punk they didn't know from Adam The Lord, He said, forgive 'em When they did those things to hurt Him Though they spit upon His face and invented stuff to curse and convict Him They plucked out his facial hair Laughed while givin' Him a thorny crown Pinned Him to a cross in the Roman mannerism Yet they gave Him a cold drink to cope with though Something infinitesimal, a gesture made Guess that they didn't know that in their paink**ing recipe Something was left over from a different day One that came with frankincense and gold It was embalmer's myrrh Mixed with wine – He still refrained You don't get it, Wonder Man, Christ was not immune to pain But it's not in vain Now the rest of us receive God's forgiveness Guess that's why they say "no pain no gain" Don't understand why they brought You myrrh But that's all right because I like Your day of birth Don't understand why You'd heal, me, Christ But that's all right because I lived the day You died I lived the day You died I lived the day You died Now I know I said things, did things that were pretty mean And we fall back to the days of Adam and days of Eve But Your temptation was bad as mine is, from A to Z Yet You never flunked the test like I did You made it clean somehow They cussed at You, nailed You to a tree Maybe it was Satan just shiftin' the blame to You from me Maybe that's what happens when some fourth graders meet with Darth Vader All I know is the devil's too much for us to face now The Messiah picked up my tab 'cause He died for all Though I see sin starin' me in my face when I fall Though I'm just a slimeball Took me in when I called Yes, I'm enlistin' as a Christian disciple Guess it's time here for me to testify I will follow Christ even through my lowest times "Cause I know I became righteous from the fact I know my Messiah If the devil tries to s**er me again I'm a try and do my best to just renounce that liar Don't understand why they brought You myrrh But that's all right because I like Your day of birth Don't understand why You'd heal, me, Christ But that's all right because I lived the day You died I lived the day You died I lived the day You died
