Bizzle - The Gospel lyrics

Hey, dad? Hey, what's up, sonny?
Can you tell us the Gospel again?
(laugh) Of course I can, alright
You guys take a seat but this time
Start all the way from the beginning
Alright, I'll start all the
Way at the beginning
Just for you, at Genesis you ready? Okay

God created man and gave him His commandment
Sat him in His garden
With everything He planted
Said, "This is all yours, son
Want it? You can have it
All except for this one
'cause that one's just for daddy"
The Devil steps up in it
Right away with his deception
Said, "You can be a god if you just taste it
It's amazing you won't die, God's a liar"
Throwing shade in His direction
That small seed of doubt forms
A change in his perception
See, if he had nothing
He'd appreciate that one thing
God gave him everything
But he's focused on that one tree
Sin is here, in his fear
He covered up and hid
He covered up in leaves
God covered him with skins
Hold that thought
Let's fast forward to Abel and Cain
Two brothers in the same
Field playing they lane
See, Cain tended the ground
Abel tended the sheep
Both made an offer to God
But Cain's fell incomplete
Now put a pen in that
Let's hit the Passover down in Egypt
When God hears the cries of
Them beating down His people
Israel's enslaved
Pharaoh's saying they ain't leaving
Moses tells him God said it
But he still ain't want to free them
So, God tells Moses, "Here's the plan
Pay attention tell my people they gon' need
A lamb without a blemish
One day, you gon' get it, but for now
You just kill it take it home
Smear it's blood on the door
Post of the entrance
See, Israel's my firstborn
And Israel's been taken
If he don't let my son go
His son ain't going to make it
The penalty is death
And I'm coming for the payment
Those covered in that blood'd be
The only one's escaping"
Now, let's go back to Abraham
Mobbing with his son Isaac
Faith isn't faith until it's tested, so
God tries him
Said, "I know how much you love your son
Go and sacrifice him"
So Ab walks him up the mountain
Straps him down and ties him
He doesn't really understand it
But he has faith
He knows that God's good, so, as commanded
He's grabbing his blade
As he goes to stab him, the Lord yells
"Wait!" he looks over
And God sent a lamb in his place
Let's take a quick pause now
Before we get to Jesus
'Cause none of this'll click until you
See just why we need Him
The Word of God says
"The wages for sin is death"
So, if sin is how you work
Then death should be the check
There can be no forgiveness without
The shedding of blood
The penalty must be paid if
God is a righteous judge
We say, "Just let it slide", but
If someone killed your cousin
Would you call that judge righteous
If his killer goes unpunished?
Or would you call him crooked? And
We know the Lord ain't that
So, there's a death penalty
And someone has to pay that
The moment that you sin
Your life has been indebted
And His mercy is the only
Reason He ain't yet collected
So, that's why they would sacrifice
Lambs in their places
But it didn't clear the debt
It was just a partial payment
Now, we gon' take a recap
And see the Lord working
Nothing was an accident, it all has a purpose
Now, back to the beginning at the fall
Man sins, tries to fix it on his own
God covers him with skins
But, it never says what animal
He's getting it from
All we know is, to cover man
He shed innocent blood
Now, remember Cain and Abel?
Cain's offer was rejected?
You ever wonder why Abel's
Offer was accepted?
All I know is Cain offered
The work of his hands
Abel tended the sheep, so
He must have offered a lamb
Now, look at Abraham and Isaac
Are you seeing it now?
A ram in the bush sent to
Take the place of his child
'Cause Abraham had faith enough to
Give up his son god would later do the same
So that forgiveness would come
Back to the Passover, aw man
Here we go with that lamb again
The innocent blood of the lamb
Is covering man again
You don't see the pattern or
Get what it means?
Then it all becomes clear when
Jesus steps on the scene
"I am the Alpha and Omega
The beginning and end
I am the Lamb without blemish
Sacrificed for your sin
The Lamb of God, without sin
Little children understand
You can't do it on your own
It is Me who covers man
I'm the one who took your place
When death lifted up his hand
Gave you righteousness for faith
You're the one who broke the law
But it was I He sent to pay
Gave my life for those who
Hate me, I went quietly
And I ain't even try to beat the case
I'm the offer He accepts when
Your works get rejected
I'm the one who pleads your case
Before the judge in Heaven
Knew that you were guilty
But loved you enough to serve your sentence
The wages for sin is death
I died to expunge your record
See, I am the Passover
The wrath of God is waiting
Every life not covered by
The blood'll be taken
I'm the way, the truth, the life
And I'll always be
I AM, I AM, beloved, it was always Me"
