Man On The Cross

lyrics

Man on the Cross

When you’ve been freed from the bondage of Satan
There’s no more weepin’, there’s no more waitin’
Heaven opens up before ya
Everything you need’s provided for ya
God will give of His grace
And it’ll restore ya

When you fly with the wings of the Spirit
Don’t have to hate your life, don’t have to fear it
You can soar so high above
And your Father’s love
Will never let you fall
His strength is more than enough

You can gather up all your possessions
And judge your worth by their final cost
As for me and my house,
We’re followin’ the Man on the cross

I was lost, but no more lost than most
Followin’ the commandments of a ghost
Believin’ in what history
Had to say to me
Keepin’ me locked up in the chains
Of the world’s brutality

But life is a train wreck, I think you’ve heard it said
There’s just the walking wounded, the survivors and the dead
I became what I was meant to be
Through the blood He shed for me
I ain’t goin’ back anymore
To what used to be

You can study your astrology
And believe your life is up with the stars
As for me and my house
We know it’s with the Man on the cross

I know He’ll be good to me
He pulled me from the tomb and opened up my eyes to see
Saved me from the promises and lies
Of so many devils in disguise
He speaks for the humble and the low
Not for only just the faces everybody knows
His yoke is free and light
It’s not the kinda love that keeps you up at night

The grave is a doorway of a curious kind
You can’t take nothin’ with ya, you don’t leave much behind
In the fleeting moment we’re here
It seems to me to be so clear
We got to search for the truth
And it ain’t in the mirror

Naked we’ve come, naked we’re gonna go
There’s no rehearsal, only the show
Don’t you think the time has finally come
To pray for mercy to the One?
Start livin’ by forgiveness
Instead of by the gun

You can fight another war
To decide who’s gonna be the boss
As for me and my house
There’s only one boss
As for me and my house
It’s the Man on the cross
