Jimmy Clifton - WORD became flesh Lyrics




I screamed the curses at you; I held the whip, I slapped you
I drove the nails through your wrists
With the pain of all the generations you looked at me with all forgiveness
Knowing that I'd fail you again
You told me it would be okay when your life was in jeopardy
I killed you how could you still love me?
When finally I looked away; the breath you lost gave life to me
Your Blood was surely flowing through my veins
It didn't matter what it cost; you stormed the grave you broke the cross
You tore the veil and healed my heart
I called your name in my misery; I hope for nothing but to see
The love you showed when I was in the dark
And I prayed that you would hear my cries "humble me God" I tried
But nothing seems to work but you
I believe you now I see the hope of all my misery
Jesus, I believe in you

Every breath he gave you purpose so your life it's always worth it
Don't be afraid to slow it down, ask him how
This life is a beautiful gift
He gave it to us but not to sit around and hide our lights to let our flame burn out inside
Our home's the hope we have it shines
Jesus never acted like he hated life
And even when he knew his own death every step he took to bless
The people who were hopeless the poor, the lonely, the homeless
The poor in spirit the rich in wealth; he dealt them equal and loved them well
He healed sick, departed and he loved the brokenhearted
The little ones cast away he took and guarded; he's been here since we were in the garden
He's been here
Then his purpose was to be fulfilled
God and man was to be killed
To bear the shame of sin for all the earth
He took the weight and bore the curse
They beat him with a Roman tool
234 stripes and it was cruel
But his stripes you and I are healed by
The agreement soon was to be sealed by
They nailed his hands with giant stakes
Still for our sin his heart breaks
He said they know not what they do, Lord, forgive them
Nail in foot pushing for one last breath
God and man faced his death
Because he saw everything you'd do
And the sin you've committed he knew
But three days passed and he's not found
His body no longer is in the ground
The grave was swallowed up in victory
To save us from our misery
For Jesus is alive right now
The witnesses they wrote it down
And history it proves that he's alive
When death no one else has survived
Let me ask you one more question
Will you deny this confession?
A God who loved you strong enough to die
A God of whom no man can bribe
Your purpose isn't in yourself
It ain't happiness, health, or wealth
It's seeing that you were deep in sin
And there ain't no work to help you therein
And when righteously you'd be sent to hell
Forever a place for you to dwell
A just spot for all of humankind
But that's where Christ brightly shined!
God came down once and for all
He took our evil it's nothing small
And he paid the debt that you and I had owed
It's forgiven it wasn't just loaned
God's wrath poured out upon his son
Then victory it had begun
For Jesus set mankind free from our sin
The door's open, will you let him in?
