Surrender

We all We all We all We all [Lee Green] It’s the battle of ages If we ever could try to measure the terror that’s evident Then it would shatter the cages In a balance of wages That this payment Sin shackled and chained it To the back of our brain and we actin’ insane if We actually vain as we grapple for change and we prove that we trapped in enslavement The devil wants our bellies full to consume earth then waste it I know we not we feed to die like the cattle that grazes See we were made to crave, I believe that is true Adam was a slave of love before he had a clue See we do what we like (like) cuz we like what we do (do) Father God, change our wants so we are slaves to You Chorus: We all We all surrender, yeah We all Either to death or for life in the Lord We all We all surrender like slaves We all But sin is death, He is life OH [Odd Thomas] This is a pragmatic axiom We were born into a system, automatic slaves and addicts And whether you believe it It’s just a matter of whether you consider it compatible or problematic But if you honestly acknowledge the logical conclusion For you to choose your destiny is a delusion Cuz when you examine the general system of living It proves who’s your true master and who you’re enslaved to And it’s true that since the fall We’ve all been taught a false view of freedom And a rebellious mind recoils and is inclined to deny him And bind him with the ties of treason Either rebellion or righteousness Both lead to the inescapable mark of eternal life or death Bound to sin or bound to obey Either way we’re both slaves, one kills, one saves Chorus: We all We all surrender, yeah We all Either to death or for life in the Lord We all We all surrender like slaves We all But sin is death, He is life OH We all We all We all We all [Braille] Dear descendants of Adam and Eve We’ve been contaminated with a disease The infiltration of sin is deep in our nature Peel back the layers It’s no secret Even the naked eye can see it under careful examination No exaggeration needed These are exact statements We are dead in our offenses We can’t pay penance with petty possessions No exceptions or exemptions will be made Nothing independent of true repentance and redemption Deserving the death sentence We earned it by our own merits Inherited from our parents Pride and arrogance Endlessly in error is the best way to describe Our rebellious lives as blind derelicts On what basis should we escape judgement and condemnation If we get graded on a curve, who is worthy of God’s favor? If He is righteous and just and the wages of sin is death The only way for us to live is if someone perfect dies for us How else can the spiritually lifeless rise from dust? From the worst to the least of sinners The truth hurts but let it simmer until your soul surrenders control The goal of faith is to believe that we need to be saved And then rejoice knowing that our Savior came Died in our place and His sinless life was raised from the grave Our sin is death, Christ is life Either way all of us are slaves One kills, one saves
