Slain |
| If you don’t seek justice, you probably don’t know peace |
| At least the kind of peace that Jesus brings us on account of belief |
| I don’t know if you’ve noticed but there’s a direct corellation |
| Between your profession of faith and your expressions of grace to the hopeless |
| Yeah, it’s true that all men are broken, but to only help the healthy |
| Would make us miss the open wounds that matter the most in those moments |
| The deconstruction of dignity buried deep in the heart of assumptions |
| Where selective justice is just another name for social corruption |
| A system is flawed when just cause is «just because» |
| But even a man at odds with the law is made in the image of God |
| It’s admitted that none of us are innocent all of us complicit |
| But to solicit the silence of injustice doesn’t just dismiss it |
| And just in case you forgot, Christ will come at just the right time |
| A divine King bringing perfect justice to judge all of mankind |
| The only difference between us I’ll stay seated at Jesus' feet |
| And rest between the span of His hands where justice and mercy meet |
| There’s a virus in my iris |
| I was blinded, close my eyelids |
| See my Savior laying down his righteous life |
| And saying «I forgive» (x3) |
| Virus in my iris (x3) |
| Deep down I know my eyes are sick |
| The wrath of God is coming, can you hear the warning? |
| Joy comes in the morning, but now is a time of mourning |
| When all I’m seeing lately is a nation going crazy |
| Looking bad, needs some hope like the words maybe |
| If or probably, but if I’m honest in light of all these problems |
| If my hope is only probable, how long 'til it dissolves? |
| I don’t have the capacity to see these problems solved |
| I take comfort knowing that my God is still involved |
| That’s my certainty when the road I’m on is serpentine |
| And I’m threatened by the serpent’s sting, the evil one is prowling |
| Looking to devour, but no one can usurp the King |
| Lord, have mercy while we’re waiting for the final hour |
| This is my Father’s world, it’s also a fallen one |
| The domino effect has infected the whole set-up |
| I’m not afraid to talk about social injustices |
| Let’s also talk about the throne where perfect justice is |
| It sounds insensitive and some will hate the stench of it |
| But the church is not faithful if we fail to mention it |
| We worship a God who can speak to the world’s pain |
| Because salvation for us came through the Lamb who was slain |
| There’s a virus in my iris |
| I was blinded, close my eyelids |
| See my Savior laying down his righteous life |
| And saying «I forgive» (x3) |
| Virus in my iris (x3) |
| Deep down I know my eyes are sick |
