"The biggest difference between Jesus christ
And ethical and moral teachers
Who have been defied by man
Is that these moralists came to make bad people good
Jesus came to make dead people live"

Man first thing's first
The covenant that was made
It was painful
It hurt
The savior was slain
But he raised from the 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
But my wait has returned
So people think they safe
Cause they stayin' at church
But if they only knew
It was by faith
And not works
By his grace

And his mercy
The father
He take a sinful man
And make him somethin' outta nada
He washed away the dirt that I did when I tried to
Satisfy my thirst outside the living water
Oh what a great mistake
I wasted so many years
I tried to do it my way instead of doin' his
That's probably why
I taste the 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 can get a peace of mine

But there wasn't one hot enough
To give me peace of mind
I wanted fast money
But when I finally got it
The only thing that was filled was my front pockets
I blew all my cash on the 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 it to the grave man
The babes or
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 could still sleep well
Cause the God of the universe know me by government

Ayo 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 & walk
He told me get up & walk
He told me get up & walk
So I did

He saved me
He ain't take a bad man try to make a good man
Nah took a dead man
Then he let him live
He told me get up & walk
He told me get up & walk
He told me get up & walk
So I did

"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's lost in sin
And our great privilege is to tell him we have a savior
