Shai Linne, Timothy Brindle - Mission Accomplished lyrics

(Lord knows He tried)
One-two one-two, one-two okay, we on? Hehe
Okay, alright yeah

Here’s a controversial subject that
Tends to divide
For years it’s had Christians lining
Up on both sides by God’s grace
I’ll address this without pride
The question concerns those for
Whom Christ died
Was He trying to save everybody worldwide?
Was He trying to make the
Entire world His Bride?
Does man’s unbelief keep the
Savior’s hands tied?
Biblically, each of these must be denied
It’s true
Jesus gave up His life for His Bride
But His Bride is the elect
To whom His death is applied


If on judgment day
You see that you can’t hide
And because of your sin
God’s wrath on you abides
And hell is the place you eternally reside
That means your wrath from
God hasn’t been satisfied
But we believe His mission was
Accomplished when He died
But how the cross relates to those in hell?
Well, they be saying:

(Lord knows He tried, Lord knows He tried)
(Lord knows He tried, Lord knows He tried)
(Lord knows He tried, Lord knows He tried)
(Lord knows He tried, Lord knows He tried)
Yeah, yeah, that's what they be saying
Cats be saying that He tried
But, I'm saying, did He try and fail?
Or did He succeed?
Is there gonna be one drop of
The Savior's blood in vain?
Nah, perish the thought
The Lamb will receive the
Reward for His suffering

Father, Son, and Spirit: three and yet one
Working as a unit to get things done
Our salvation began in eternity past
God certainly has to bring all
His purpose to pass a triune
Eternal bond no one could ever sever
When it comes to the Church
Peep how they work together
The Father foreknew first
The Son came to earth
To die - the Holy Spirit gives the new birth
The Father elects them
The Son pays their debt and protects them
The Spirit is the One who resurrects them
The Father chooses them
The Son gets bruised for them
The Spirit renews them and
Produces fruit in them
Everybody’s not elect, the Father decides
And it’s only the elect in
Whom the Spirit resides
The Father and the Spirit
- completely unified
But when it comes to Christ
And those in hell? Well, they be saying:

(Lord knows He tried, Lord knows He tried)
(Lord knows He tried, Lord knows He tried)
(Lord knows He tried, Lord knows He tried)
(Lord knows He tried, Lord knows He tried)
So, if we can agree that the election
Of the Father is not universal
And the regeneration of the Holy
Spirit is not universal
Why would the atonement of
The Son be universal?
That would put the persons of the Trinity
Completely at odds with one another
But the triune God is completely unified

My third and final verse:
Here’s the situation
Just a couple more things
For your consideration
If saving everybody was why
Christ came in history with so many in hell
We’d have to say He failed miserably
So many think He only came
To make it possible
Let’s follow this solution to
A conclusion that’s logical
What about those who were
Already in the grave?
The Old Testament wicked
Condemned as depraved
Did He die for them? C’mon, behave
But worst of all, you’re saying the cross by
It'self doesn’t save
That we must do something to
Give the cross it's power
That means, at the end of the day
The glory’s ours
That man-centered thinking is not recommended
The cross will save all for
Whom it was intended because for the elect
God’s wrath was satisfied
But still, when it comes to those in hell
Well, they be saying:

(Lord knows He tried, Lord knows He tried)
(Lord knows He tried, Lord knows He tried)
(Lord knows He tried, Lord knows He tried)
(Lord knows He tried, Lord knows He tried)
Look, at the end of the day
This is about giving God the
Maximum amount of glory
Know what I'm saying?
We proclaim the cross that actually saves
Not makes salvation possible
But actually saves matthew 1: 21 - His name
Shall be called Jesus
Because He will save His
People from their sins
Not "might save them, " not "try to save"
But, no, He will actually save them
It's a definite atonement aye, yo
This ain't controversy for the
Sake of controversy
Or theological nitpicking
Salvation is of the Lord
And to Him alone all the glory
(Soli Deo Gloria)
But let's get into the text
And see what the Scriptures have
To say about it
Lord, thank you for the cross
