Artist: Kirk
Song: "Took My Place"
Album: Redeemed

VERSE 1:
We’re sick and twisted
There is no fixing
We need new vision
heart transfigured
we’re dead and oozing
Vile and spewing
Like the Jags and Dolphins
We’re always losing

Beyond recovery
Always suffering
Blind to the fact that we
Are stuck in drudgery
true grand total
But I'll give the summary
All for the vanity
Pursue discovery

Man trying to play by his
own known rules
Then he claims there’s no God
Now reduced to a fool
Got the tools and the fuel
For Utopian jewels
But he builds on the sand
So, it slips through his hand

That’s the cycle now
You get it yet?
Your hooked in the jaw
With a bigger net
You just fall in line
And never break a sweat
For some printed paper
And the latest tech

Or maybe not the physical
Peace of mind
Extra time
From the daily grind
“Awake O’Sleeper”
From your darkest dread
And Christ will shine
And bring you out from dead

But if the aim to your life
Is for self to impress
Then you’ll die in your sin
Unless the tongue can confess
That The Christ is Lord
Took your shame and guilt
When He died on that cross
With His blood He spilt

The term was coined
The Great Exchange
All your sins
On the Lamb was laid
The debt was paid
With no human aid
God in the flesh
Jesus Christ the name

Stood in your place
Mocked and disgraced
Bowed to the ground
Then they spat in His face
Beaten with a cat of nine-tails
Bone laced
Screaming while redeeming
All of His
No waste

Even while their lethal
In their dealings of a man
Who came to save em'
Though they hate em'
Still His love remains 
This is what is written 
The Lamb he was smitten
Bore the fathers wrath
For His own flocks sinning

They laugh and they mock
Cuz they think blaspheming
But the Lord tore the veil
To restore us to Eden
For the door it was locked
Chasm blocked
For this reason
That our sin against the LORD
Left us dead and defeated

CHORUS:
My sin is what separated
Me from you
But you took my place
Death has been erased
With the final breath
That you drew
Now you are raised
Victorious
and hold me
With your perfect love
So I offer up
Myself back to you

VERSE 2:
The Son did not
Condescend and walk
Just to come and have a bunch people
gasp in awe
He gave His life for his own
Those within the flock
Poured His Blood
To atone
He alone could stop
The wage of sin
Held death within
Every son of Adam
For their disobedience
prone to escape with
Justified defense
Until they see their truly naked
When we zoom the lens
Upon defiance of the Righteous
In its truest sense
Defied the God
Who should of brought the rod
Upon rebellious human being
For their garbage thoughts
Of thinking they can be like god
And ignore the truth
Cuz He defines every movement
That we make or do
And if He says don’t touch
Or you’ll surely die
That’s not a reason just to contemplate and wonder why?
Realize your crimes
Now creates a line,
Empty chasm now divides
Up The truth and lie
He can’t look on disgust
And what’s putrified
Of an unholy vessel
Not sanctified
So look to Christ
Who was crucified
He was beat and stricken
Put to death, than risen
Took your spot for you,
For the wrath that’s due
Now to end the schism
With atoned provision
To present you blameless
When we cross to the other side
Once we’re far
Brough near we are
Thanks to Him by His death
We are set apart
Sanctified this day
When we place our faith
In Jesus
Believers ,
By Grace are saved
All our debts been paid
With no human aid
It’s by the might of Christ
That our fines been waved
And those with ears
Who by the Spirit hears
Please repent and return
And from His wrath escape


REPEAT CHORUS

~~Happy Good Friday! He. Is. Risen. ~~

VERSE 1
--------------
All my life I wondered
What could and what could’ve happened 
But the fact that I’m here rapping 
Is not owing to my action
For I’m lacking in a million different
Ways that don’t come close to Him
I’m Soaking in His Word
That by its power it was spoken with 


It's the Sovereign God who maps it
In fabulous paint and tapestry 
Woven in, it’s only Him
It’s Showing in His majesty 
Ignoring this, a travesty 
It’s Against your mental faculty 
To think within His hand 
He holds your life and other galaxies 


The stars the planets 
From Mars, Uranus, It’s far 
They revolve
When He calls
By His Word
They dissolve 
Brought from nothing into being
Now there’s something, see it clearly
Not some random act
But One acquainted with your life so dearly


Wrap your mind around the fact
That you're not independent, (No!)
You depend upon the very breath
That gives you step to go!
And if it stopped so subtlety 
Ending your life suddenly 
There would be no help 
No comfort 
You would go reluctantly 

Now I don’t relish saying this
We’re selfish disobeying Him
Rebels not repaying Him
For love is what’s sustaining men 
you know what length He goes for you
With chords of love He draws you to?
The giving of His Son
Upon the cross for you in pain He hung 

The Nails that pierced his hand
On either side of Him He took your sin
to think it can’t get worse
They crossed His legs 
And drove them through His shins 
All for you to make amends 
Trust in Him and He forgives
Run to Him and never enter 
Into judgment
He’s your true defense! 


VERSE 2
--------------
Now before I can share the Good News
You could use
Let me take a moment
And please hear, 
don’t refuse
This is something that few dudes
With true views deduce
They Do choose
Where others
Will Twist words and abuse

Rather dismiss than risk and loose
Swift in shoes
That’s why many churches are confused 
If it's only half the truth 
That pastors use
The mass of youth
Will lack the roots
collapse the fruit

This is something of a balance
We must keep and not be silent
focus on the one, neglect the other
Then we’ve subdivided 
The Word of God is how were guided
Old & New, their both united 
We don’t get to pick and choose
Skip that part and close your eyelids

We are called to preach the Word in whole
And let opinions go
The Wrath of God 
The Love of God
That’s what the cross of Jesus showed 
We tend to emphasize the latter 
Forget the former, doesn’t matter
Never would let the Bible set the pattern
So instead we flatter 


What we need to understand 
Is why the Son who came to die,
Who never did a sin commit 
Was given to be crucified 
And the answer we refuse to share
For reasons that are undeclared 
The Father killed the Son
Because our sin on him was laid to bare 


And were deserving of his wrath
With flaming fury, God is mad
He’s angry at the wicked every day
Don’t believe the words I say?
Book of Psalms, flip the page
Read the judgment being laid 
Chapter seven, verse 11
And you’ll see it plain
