Hell Where is your Victory?

To see is to believe 

How could I believe if I couldn't see

To see the One who parts the sea

I must first believe.

I am not worthy to live 

Your glimpse I am not worth of

But He who is a Darling of heaven 

See my worth past all my sins

and laid His life for mine.

I am not worthy to be loved

I know One who do

He loved me during my darkest time

Even I couldn't love me

I love Him

He first loved me

When I was still a sinner He reached for me

He died for me

The moon and stars wept

The morning sun was dead

The Savior of the world was fallen 

His body hanged on the cross

His blood poured for all

The weight of every curse was upon Him

One final breath He gave

As heaven looked away

THE SON of God was laid in the darkness

He fought a battle in the Grave

A War on death was waged

Then the power of hell was forever broken

His death did not last

The ground began tonshake

The stone that covered His tomb

has rolled away

His perfect love could not be overcome by any 

NOW DEATH you have no sting

The Resurrected King has rendered you defeated.

This Darling I forever will behold

To His promises I will forever hold

No I have not seen Him yet 

But the date that I'll see Him has been set

No I can't see him yet

Still I know He is in Me

No I ca't see Him

One day I will 

and I will be with Him.

faith

my Christian faith chokes

my guilty conscience 

that revives my soul 

when all hope is lost 

but when I sin 

I don't win

cause I still have to face the devil at the gates of my eternal fate 

I am smoking this religion through a joint 

so I have hope 

this internal hell 

this battle between right and wrong 

a thorn in my flesh 

I know Jesus died for my sins 

but I am not worth it 

I still sin

and I still curse out god 

I use to pray 

but this  thread of hope is fray 

I can't serve you fully 

because my heart desires what is wicked 

infected with imperfection and sin

caved into my DNA sinful inclinations 

I fail to be a child of god 

I throw my bible at the wall 

because every time I touch it burns through my hands 

I am sinner 

I am fifthly unworthy of forgiveness

I am unworthy and unfit to face your throne 

you let your son die for me 

(a sinner )

a person guilty of bloodshed 

and in one drop of your son's blood 

I was saved 

and retrieved from the eternal pit of hell 

you opened your hands and engulfed me in the things holy 

and cleaned my sins 

but I still feel like I owe you something 

so I bow down in service to you 

slap the chains on my hands 

and I will not think for myself

I will only think was is holy and clean 

I will dip my body in this water and connected my soul 

to yours 

you picked my head up and asked me if I was ready to comply 

I choked out the words yes 

and I turned to look at my hands 

there covered in blood 

I just told another lie 

committed another sin

this circle of sin 

that doesn't end 

this guilty conscience 

that bears down on the soul 

in the middle of the night 

she desires what is unholy 

and craves to indulge in what is wicked 

to feel 

what she wants 

think what she wants 

but the wages that sin pays is death 

is it worth death?

Come, everyone!

Come, everyone,

come, and hear

God´s merciful calling

to all nations.

Don´t deny it, or

suffer lamentations. 

Come, everyone,

come, and see

what beautiful grace

God willingly gives.

It´s only through this

that we can live.

Come, everyone,

come, and accept

this great gift

of salvation,

and do receive

your redemption!

Come, everyone,

come, and abide

in God´s everlasting

love and care.

Why would you pretend

to be unaware?

Come, everyone,

come, and think.

Why would you neglect

free salvation,

when you yourself

can produce none?

Come, everyone,

come, and share

the Word of God

for all to know

that Jesus does live.

Let His power grow.
