Liberation
I was born in sin's penitentiary Enslaved to evil- this condemned and sentenced me Locked in a cell block, I'd act wickedly in captivity While watching myself rot born with a death sentence Warned to neglect repentance by my Lord who expressed vengeance By deceiving my mind and keeping me blind And convincing me that evil was fine His name is Lucifer, he was my slave master He said to oppose God and screamed with great laughter He ruled this prison of sin, my vision was dim He told me what to do and I'd listen to him I was depraved and arrogant- an accursed transgressor My ways inherited- from my first ancestors Trapped in my sinful habitation I was into masturbation, and it kindled aggravation But I loved the darkness of my cell Plus my lungs were heartless, and this sluggard's carcass had a smell An unbearable stench Disgusting and vile, my lusting was wild, with some terrible wench A praiser of wickedness, my behavior was mischievous Craving sin-enslaved to my sicknesses Much inclined to muck and slime And crust and grime I has such a disgusting mind Sinning was fluid, swimming in sewage Lucifer fed me his stew I'd drink and then spew it I often coughed and had constant red eye Spiritually talkin' I was a walkin' dead guy 'Cause the Law hung over me as a guillotine Really mean, and thrilled to sin, I was still a fiend Many times a man came to my cell To ask me if I wanted someone to save me from Hell But I'd slap him in the face, and laugh at this grace 'Cause it so happened that I was trapped in this place I was content in sin, I disregarded that I couldn't be pardoned From my sentencing so I slept heavily-the best remedy In neglecting the fact I faced a death penalty Then came my day of execution It was time to die but I couldn't pay the retribution!!!
I was a detestable prisoner, an ineffective listener Than I had an unexpected Visitor And this was frightening, 'cause I was trifling Then came the Spirit of Christ the Righteous King A shining light came on inside of my cell Revealing my sinful condition, I cried and I yelled God forgive me, rescue me from death's despair Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Don't execute me in the electric chair! But then I was embraced- by His love and truth He said He died in my place-as my substitute I couldn't fathom His charity, so I asked Him clarity He actually sat in the chair for me He took the violent wrath on my behalf So I could have life and be alive at last! My first reply, was but You're a perfect Guy You never cursed or lied, you didn't deserve to die But He said He wanted to because He made a covenant To save His people so they wouldn't face His punishment So I hugged and thanked Him, His robe was all red He said He proved all this was true because He rose from the dead Now my charges were dropped He gave me faith when He replaced my heart because it was as hard as a rock He broke my shackles, now my visions clear I was given ears, He removed my filthy prison gear And proceeded to put it on the shelf My death sentence was dropped when He took it upon Himself Then He dressed me in His perfect righteousness The nicest gift, yes I was hype from this! He told me He freed me for a purpose, Tim To conform me to His image, and serve and worship Him Then I fell on my face I'll tell of Your ways And proclaim you save sinners by indelible grace I savor this pleasure, You're the greatest of treasures Jesus Christ- I can't wait to praise You forever But then Lucifer tried to keep me from leavin' But Jesus crushed His head and defeated His demons We bounced from the prison, He announced I'm forgiven I was dead in that place, now I'm out and I'm livin' And I shout: 'HE IS RISEN!' for hours abroad I've been freed by the Gospel which is the Power of God Then He said He must return to His Father's side I started crying, so He said 'be calm, you're fine' Because His Holy Spirit will guide my steps He promised He'd keep me until my final breath I now await the return of the Sovereign Lamb To take me to worship Him in the promised land This parable's a metaphorical analogy Of a terrible but then adorable reality.
And I'm praising Jesus, 'cause He redeemed and freed me when I was enslaved in Egypt
