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 |
