Shai Linne - Active Obedience lyrics

[Hook - J.G. Of ISix 5] Jesus: there's nothing greater God could give for us But before He gave His life, He lived for us It's one of salvation's ma**ive ingredients The Lord Jesus Christ and His active obedience (repeat) [Verse 1 - Shai Linne] Scene 1 of our story takes place at the Jordan River John the Baptist proclaiming that the LORD delivers As He shares truth in each and every sentence He's telling them to bear fruit in keeping with repentance This God you can't handle, man, turn from your scandals There's One coming: I'm not worthy to hold His sandals When John saw Him, his mind was straight in a whirlwind Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the world's sin! Jesus- John's heart was to magnify Him The Lamb surprised Him when He told John to baptize Him Did John lack eyes to see? He replied, “Not to chastise, but you should be baptizing me” What's enticing is how Christ replied to this: “We must do it to fulfill all righteousness” So now we focus on the works of Christ And how the law was fulfilled in His perfect life [Hook] [Verse 2 - Shai Linne] We know today's generation can't stand lectures We're trying to get your attention like hand gestures The truth is close, like London is to Manchester To understand better, consider our ancestor Adam- it took place in the garden of Eden Y'all know the story- how Satan was talking to Eve then The snake had her all deceived then she ate & he ate God had decreed that that would make all of us heathens Romans 5:12 really got my dome spinning Adam's descendants didn't die for their own sinning But here's the thing that you must pay attention to Although you weren't there, Adam represented you Now God is free, He doesn't need an apology For those who struggle though, I'll make a quick an*logy Think logically before you criticize One player commits a foul, the whole team gets penalized We were in need of another representative To live the perfect life that none of us could ever live Cause if we're gonna be freed from our distress Both sides of the situation need to be addressed We need a substitute in our place to to be k**ed Plus we need the broken law to be obeyed and fulfilled And Jeremiah prophesied of this That the LORD Himself would be our righteousness [Hook] [Verse 3 - Shai Linne] Although we're born into a unholy environment A Holy God can never lower His requirement You think God's accepting something less than perfection? You must be living in a dream world like Inception Take refuge in Jesus, indeed, be safe The righteousness of Christ is to be received by faith Alone- that's apart from the works of the law Christ was murdered to reverse the curse of the fall So now astoundingly, Christ's righteous salary And Calvary counts for me Praise the Living God for His amazing wisdom We get credit for somebody else's work like plagiarism But He does it righteously for the worst of all heathens Based on 33 years of perfect law-keeping Believing in Jesus has crazy perks And I guess you can say we've been saved by works- His! [Hook]
