Why Me |
| Look I was born like the rest, from Adam’s curse ruined |
| Straight born into death, with my back turned to Him |
| The facts are confusing, I’m a wretched man |
| But He took me, held my hand, and my death was banned |
| He could have let my sins stay and my transgressions stand |
| But I’ve been selected, elected, predestined man |
| The question stands, look what I do to deserve |
| To be blessed with His plan, made new, and reserved |
| Nothing. |
| I was like the rest, born attracted to death |
| Nah we ain’t said it, but it’s just what all our actions expressed |
| 'Cause although I ain’t wanna bother with the Lord He spared me |
| When I needed a Father, like orphan Annie |
| He took me in, clothed me in His righteousness |
| Fed me the fruit of the Spirit, now my life is His |
| It’s all grace, I don’t deserve this relationship |
| 'Cause I ain’t got nothing to give even my faith was a gift |
| I don’t deserve it, I’m worthless, but treated as perfect |
| Why me? |
| Why me? |
| Why me? |
| Why me? |
| I sin more than I wanna, but my sins are a goner |
| Why me? |
| Why me? |
| Why me? |
| Why me? |
| I was lost, but redeemed, then adopted and cleaned |
| Why me? |
| Why me? |
| Why me? |
| Why me? |
| I was a scrub, but this God let me run with His squad |
| Why me? |
| Why me? |
| Why me? |
| Why me? |
| You can ask the question, why our God would let men |
| Take His Son, make Him a naked one just to crush Him |
| We could all inquire, why a God this high up |
| Would stoop so low to scoop a whole crew from holding fire |
| We can pontificate, sipping on lemonade |
| Chilling 'cause our bill of sin was long, but dawg it was payed |
| Or we can shrug it off, not even bug at all |
| Off the fact we should have been attached to that rugged cross |
| That’s just what it cost, I’m moved by what it cost |
| Refuse to be like dudes unmoved with thuggish walks |
| They like to disregard this, they like to diss the God that’s |
| Coming back never to fade to black like Mr. Carter |
| And it’s a shame 'cause the scripture is plain |
| With you and me Yahweh got beef like 50 and Game |
| We’re shifty as Cane, only Jesus emptied His veins |
| So now you only got one choice out of a list full of names |
| It’s truly His grace that did it all, His righteous mercy |
| Prepared beforehand for glory? |
| Nah I ain’t worthy |
| He treated Christ like me and He gave Him death |
| He’s treating me like Christ man, He gave me breath |
| I could have easily been one that feening for sin |
| That’s leading me in to death and catch heat in the end |
| But He chose me, He showed me, He ordered my steps |
| Man what a privilege to be one of the Lord’s elect |
| If it wasn’t for you Trip, I wouldn’t be tripping on this |
| 'Cause we’ll get about as far as a car sitting on bricks |
| 'Cause why He did it was… Ah forget it |
| I don’t know why, I ain’t shy I’ll admit it |
| So Trip, I don’t even question it |
| So I’ll go on and rest in this for sin I was in union |
| But now I’m free like a Russian is |
| Now I trust in this, now the lesson is |
| Run hard for God to a beat like a percussion is |
