Night of the Livin

[Intro: Ravi Zacharais] The biggest difference between Jesus Christ and ethical and moral teachers who have been deified by man, is that these moralists came to make bad people good. Jesus came to make dead people live [Verse 1] Man, first things first The covenant was made, it was painful and hurt The Savior was slain but he raised from that dirt Now I’m covered in His blood, ain’t no stains in my shirt He conquered the grave, now my faith is secure Cause my God ‘s still alive while I await his return So people think they safe cause they stay in that church But if they only knew it was by faith and not works By His grace and His mercy, the Father He'll take a sinful man and make him somethin' he outta nada He washed away the dirt that I did when I tried to Satisfy my thirst ouside the living water Oh, what a great mistake, I wasted so many years I tried to do it my way instead of doing His That’s probly why I tasted salt from my tears But, now I be the salt of the Earth to my peers Sin brought me so high, but when I came down There wasn’t enough folly to keep my mind sound I wanted all the hotties that could get a piece of mind But there wasn’t one hot enough to give me piece of mind I wanted fast money, but when I finally got it The only thing that was filled was my front pockets I threw all my cash onto kicks and the summer gear By the time I got home I done got my eyes on another pair Never satisfied in the pleasures that’s fadin' Cause I can’t take them to the grave man Faith in the stacks of the paper Now I only put my faith in the Savior It only makes sense I really don’t care if I never make a cent If my pockets full of lint I can still sleep well Cause the God of the universe know me by my covenant [Hook] (x2) He saved me He ain’t take a bad man, try to make a good man He just took a dead man, then he let him live He told me get up and walk He told me get up and walk He told me get up and walk So I did [Outro: Ravi Zacharias] Man is not just unethical, he is lost and dead. If man is only lost in guilt, what I have given to you is bad news. But he is lost in sin and our great privilege is to tell him he has a savior
