The Gospel - Bizzle

...

Intro]

Hey, dad?

Hey, what's up, sonny?

Can you tell us the Gospel again?

(*laugh*) Of course I can, alright, you guys take a seat

But this time, start all the way from the beginning

Alright, I'll start all the way at the beginning

Just for you, at Genesis

You ready? Okay

[Verse: Bizzle]

God created man and gave him His commandment

Sat him in his garden with everything He planted

Said, "This is all yours, son, want it? You can have it

All except for this one, 'cause that one's just for daddy"

The Devil steps up in it right away with his deception

Said, "You can be a god if you just taste it, it's amazing

You won't die, God's a liar", throwing shade in his direction

That small seed of doubt forms a change in his perception

See, if he had nothing, he'd appreciate that one thing

God gave him everything, but he's focused on that one tree

Sin is here, in his fear, he covered up and hid

He covered up in leaves, God covered him with skins

Hold that thought, let's fast forward to Abel and Cain

Two brothers in the same field playing they lane

See, Cain tended the ground, Abel tended the sheep

Both made an offer to God, but Cain's fell incomplete

Now put a pen in that, let's hit the Passover down in Egypt

When God hears the cries of them beating down His people

Israel's enslaved, Pharaoh's saying they ain't leaving

Moses tells him God said it, but he still ain't want to free them

So, God tells Moses, "Here's the plan, pay attention

Tell my people they gon' need a lamb without a blemish

One day, you gon' get it, but for now, you just kill it

Take it home, smear it's blood on the door post of the entrance

See, Israel's my firstborn, and Israel's been taken

If he don't let my son go, his son ain't going to make it

The penalty is death, and I'm coming for the payment

Those covered in that blood'd be the only one's escaping"

Now, let's go back to Abraham, mobbing with his son Isaac

Faith isn't faith until it's tested, so, God tries him

Said, "I know how much you love your son, go and sacrifice him"

So Ab walks him up the mountain, straps him down and ties him

He doesn't really understand it, but he has faith

He knows that God's good, so, as commanded, he's grabbing his blade

As he goes to stab him, the Lord yells, "Wait!"

He looks over, and God sent a lamb in his place

Let's take a quick pause now before we get to Jesus

'Cause none of this'll click until you see just why we need Him

The Word of God says, "The wages for sin is death"

So, if sin is how you work, then death should be the check

There can be no forgiveness without the shedding of blood

The penalty must be paid if God is a righteous judge

We say, "Just let it slide", but, if someone killed your cousin

Would you call that judge righteous if his killer goes unpunished?

Or would you call him crooked? And we know the Lord ain't that

So, there's a death penalty, and someone has to pay that

The moment that you sin, your life has been indebted

And His mercy is the only reason He ain't yet collected

So, that's why they would sacrifice lambs in their places

But it didn't clear the debt, it was just a partial payment

Now, we gon' take a recap and see the Lord working

Nothing was an accident, it all has a purpose

Now, back to the beginning at the fall

Man sins, tries to fix it on his own, God covers him with skins

But, it never says what animal he's getting it from

All we know is, to cover man, he shed innocent blood

Now, remember Cain and Abel? Cain's offer was rejected?

You ever wonder why Abel's offer was accepted?

All I know is Cain offered the work of his hands

Abel tended the sheep, so, he must have offered a lamb

Now, look at Abraham and Isaac, are you seeing it now?

A ram in the bush sent to take the place of his child

'Cause Abraham had faith enough to give up his son

God would later do the same so that forgiveness would come

Back to the Passover, aw man, here we go with that lamb again

The innocent blood of the lamb is covering man again

You don't see the pattern or get what it means?

Then it all becomes clear when Jesus steps on the scene

"I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and end

I am the Lamb without blemish sacrificed for your sin

The Lamb of God, without sin, little children understand

You can't do it on your own, it is Me who covers man

I'm the one who took your place when death lifted up his hand

Gave you righteousness for faith

You're the one who broke the law, but it was I He sent to pay

Gave my life for those who hate me, I went quietly, and I ain't even try to beat the case

I'm the offer He accepts when your works get rejected

I'm the one who pleads your case before the judge in Heaven

Knew that you were guilty, but loved you enough to serve your sentence

The wages for sin is death, I died to expunge your record

See, I am the Passover, the wrath of God is waiting

Every life not covered by the blood'll be taken

I'm the way, the truth, the life, and I'll always be

I AM, I AM, beloved, it was always Me"
