Surrender

[00:07.57] We all
[00:11.15] We all
[00:14.60] We all
[00:18.73] We all
[00:22.64] It's the battle of ages
[00:24.76] If we ever could try to measure the terror that's evident
[00:27.89] Then it would shatter the cages
[00:29.08] In a balance of wages
[00:30.60] That this payment
[00:31.69] Sin shackled and chained it
[00:33.06] To the back of our brain and we actin' insane if
[00:35.04] We actually vain as we grapple for change and we prove that we trapped in enslavement
[00:38.49] The devil wants our bellies full to consume earth then waste it
[00:42.49] I know we not we feed to die like the cattle that grazes
[00:46.33] See we were made to crave, I believe that is true
[00:50.40] Adam was a slave of love before he had a clue
[00:54.26] See we do what we like (like) cuz we like what we do (do)
[00:58.29] Father God, change our wants so we are slaves to You
[01:02.07] We all
[01:03.89] We all surrender, yeah
[01:06.24] We all
[01:07.20] Either to death or for life in the Lord
[01:10.81] We all
[01:12.59] We all surrender like slaves
[01:15.51] We all
[01:16.03] But sin is death, He is life OH
[01:32.60] This is a pragmatic axiom
[01:34.23] We were born into a system, automatic slaves and addicts
[01:36.05] And whether you believe it
[01:37.10] It's just a matter of whether you consider it compatible or problematic
[01:39.42] But if you honestly acknowledge the logical conclusion
[01:41.72] For you to choose your destiny is a delusion
[01:43.85] Cuz when you examine the general system of living
[01:45.92] It proves who's your true master and who you're enslaved to
[01:48.26] And it's true that since the fall
[01:49.80] We've all been taught a false view of freedom
[01:51.19] And a rebellious mind recoils and is inclined to deny him
[01:53.95] And bind him with the ties of treason
[01:55.78] Either rebellion or righteousness
[01:57.09] Both lead to the inescapable mark of eternal life or death
[02:00.25] Bound to sin or bound to obey
[02:01.24] Either way we're both slaves, one kills, one saves
[02:04.04] We all
[02:05.44] We all surrender, yeah
[02:06.74] We all
[02:07.58] Either to death or for life in the Lord
[02:12.64] We all
[02:13.41] We all surrender like slaves
[02:18.77] We all
[02:19.92] But sin is death, He is life OH
[02:21.22] We all
[02:37.84] We all
[02:41.56] We all
[02:45.47] We all
[02:49.59] Dear descendants of Adam and Eve
[02:52.78] We've been contaminated with a disease
[02:54.82] The infiltration of sin is deep in our nature
[02:57.82] Peel back the layers
[02:59.38] It's no secret
[03:00.98] Even the naked eye can see it under careful examination
[03:04.10] No exaggeration needed
[03:06.20] These are exact statements
[03:08.66] We are dead in our offenses
[03:10.03] We can't pay penance with petty possessions
[03:12.66] No exceptions or exemptions will be made
[03:15.52] Nothing independent of true repentance and redemption
[03:19.05] Deserving the death sentence
[03:20.95] We earned it by our own merits
[03:22.98] Inherited from our parents
[03:24.77] Pride and arrogance
[03:26.16] Endlessly in error is the best way to describe
[03:29.07] Our rebellious lives as blind derelicts
[03:31.96] On what basis should we escape judgement and condemnation
[03:35.62] If we get graded on a curve, who is worthy of God's favor?
[03:39.81] If He is righteous and just and the wages of sin is death
[03:44.25] The only way for us to live is if someone perfect dies for us
[03:48.14] How else can the spiritually lifeless rise from dust?
[03:52.08] From the worst to the least of sinners
[03:54.65] The truth hurts but let it simmer until your soul surrenders control
[03:59.19] The goal of faith is to believe that we need to be saved
[04:02.72] And then rejoice knowing that our Savior came
[04:05.48] Died in our place and His sinless life was raised from the grave
[04:10.43] Our sin is death, Christ is life
[04:13.58] Either way all of us are slaves
[04:16.45] One kills, one saves
[04:22.63]
