The Gospel Lyrics

Hey dad?
Hey what's up sonny?
Can you tell us the Gospel again?
(laugh) Of course I can, alright you guys take a seat
But this time start all the way from the beginning
Alright I'll start all the way at the beginning just for you, at genesis
You ready? Ok

God created man and gave him his commandment
Sat him in his garden with everything he planted
Said this is all yours son want it you can have it
All except for this one, cause that one's just for daddy
The Devil steps up in it right away with his deception
Said you can be a god if you just taste it its amazing
You won't die God's a liar throwing shade in his direction
That small seed of doubt forms a change in his perception
See if he had nothing he'd appreciate that one thing
God gave him everything but he's focused on that one tree
Sin is here in his fear he covered up and hid
He covered up in leaves God covered him with skins
Hold that thought lets fast forward to Able and Cain
Two brothers in the same field playing they lane
See Cain tended the ground Abel tended the sheep
Both made an offer to God but Cain's fell incomplete
Now put a pen in that lets hit the Passover down in Egypt
When God hears the cries of them beating down his people
Israel is enslaved Pharaoh saying they ain't leaving
Moses tells him God said it but he still ain't want to free them
So God tells Moses here's the plan pay attention
Tell my people their going to need a lamb without a blemish
One day you going to get it but for now you just kill it
Take it home smear it's blood on the door post of the entrance
See Israel is my firstborn and Israel has been taken
If he don't let my son go his son ain't going to make it
The penalty is death and I'm coming for the payment
Those covered in that blood a be the only one's escaping
Now lets go back to Abraham mobbing with his son Isaac
Faith isn't faith until it's tested so God tries him
Said I know how much you love your son go and sacrifice him
So Ab walks him up the mountain straps him down and ties him
He doesn't really understand it but he has faith
He knows that God's good
So as commanded he's grabbing his blade
As he goes to stab him the Lord yells wait!
He looks over and God sent a lamb in his place
Let's take a quick pause now before we get to Jesus
Cause none of this a click until you see just why we need him
The Word of God says the wages for sin is death
So if sin is how you work then death should be the check
There can be no forgiveness without the shedding of blood
The penalty must be paid if God is a righteous judge
We say just let it slide but if someone kills your cousin
Would you call that judge righteous if his killer goes unpunished
Or would you call him crooked and we know the Lord ain't that
So there's a death penalty and someone has to pay that
The moment that you sin your life has been indebted
And his mercy is the only reason he ain't yet collected
So that's why they would sacrifice lambs in their places
But it didn't clear the debt it was just a partial payment
Now we going to take a recap and see the Lord working
Nothing was an accident it all has a purpose
Now back to the beginning at the fall
Man sins tries to fix it on his own God covers him with skins
But it never says what animals he's getting it from
All we know is to cover man he shed innocent blood
Now remember Cain and Abel? Cain's offer was rejected
You ever wonder why Abel offer was accepted?
All I know is Cain offered the work of his hands
Abel tended the sheep so he must have offered a lamb
Now look at Abraham and Isaac are you seeing it now?
A ram in the bush sent to take the place of his child
Cause Abraham had faith enough to give up his son
God would later do the same so that forgiveness would come
Back to the Passover aww man here we go with that lamb again
The innocent blood of the lamb is covering man again
You don't see the pattern and get what it means
Then it all becomes clear when Jesus steps on the scene
I am the Alpha and Omega the beginning and end
I am the lamb without blemish sacrificed for your sin
The Lamb of God without sin little children understand
You can't do it on your own it is me who covers man
I am the one who took your place when death lifted up his hand
Gave you righteousness for faith
Your the one who broke the law but it was I He sent to pay
Gave my life for those who hate me I went quietly
And I ain't even try to beat the case
I'm the offer he accepts when your works get rejected
I'm the one who pleads your case before the judge in Heaven
Knew that you were guilty
But loved you enough to serve your sentence
The wages for sin is death I died to expunge your record
See I am the Passover the wrath of God is waiting
Every life not covered by the blood a be taken
I'm the way the truth the life and I'll always be
I AM I AM beloved it was always me
