Testo di 'Meet The Blade' di The Saving

Unfortunately, you may not like what I'm going
To say here, I hope I don't offend anybody
The problem with America today is not America
It's the church, we have become very shallow
As Christians, somewhere we fell into the trap
Of believing that music is everything
Forgetting that it's only one thing, and that
Teaching and ideas are important
[Ravi Zacharias]

All hail the Creator
Son Of Man
The sovereign eye over the nations
The God who heaven itself
Can barely even contain
Study the past, and research the aforementioned
God forbid we drink the cup of mongrels
History has warned us
Now bow and be prostrate
Before Father Spirit and Son

Freedom, joy, life and wealth
All good things have come from Him
The saving power of Christ the King
Is what we seek through true sacrifice

So come and protect us from ourselves
We don't want to fail!
No we don't want to fail!
Prophesy, that we may hear your call
Then we can put off our old clothes
And change the world

Lord would you teach us to be sanctified?
To visit the orphan, and keep undefiled?
That we may drink Your blood in a worthy manner
For the sake of the One who sits next to the Father

Curse our idols now
Kingdom come down

Lest we fight back
When we meet the blade
That which bring
Us to holiness

If only the preceding was devoid any true meaning
But there is much for us to learn
When mankind has banished God

I don't seek for this to go far
I just want to be obedient to the calling
The call to tear down the church walls
The very walls these coward ministers
Have built up that keep us from speaking
Into every part of culture
Open your eyes, and shut your mind on the truth of Christ

Awful, beautiful, and mighty to save
Is the Lord who can take a broken life
Shattered hearts and sinful minds
And say without any regret
I forgive, so I forget

Purpose, Purpose, Purpose!
Before You formed us in the womb you had a purpose
And before You take a life you have a purpose
And though family, friends, and self will fail
We don't look down but up to Your purpose

Although the bible tells us not that we are able to gain an assurance of our salvation
But that we are obligated to get an assurance of salvation
But there's a difference between true assurance and false assurance
A lot of people think that all you have to do to get in the Kingdom of God
Is to raise your hand at a revival meeting and walk down the aisle
Or say the sinner's prayer and make a profession of faith
Nobody was ever saved by a profession of faith
We're supposed to make a profession of faith
But that profession doesn't get us anywhere, we have to have it
And when I ask the question to a person 'do you love Christ perfectly?
I've only had a couple of people say to me that yeah they did
Most people say no they don't love Christ perfectly
Second question is 'Do you love Him as much as you ought to?
Well, we ought to love Him perfectly
If we don't love Him perfectly then we obviously don't love Him
As much as we ought to, and if I don't love Christ as much
As I know I should, that casts a certain power of doubt over my assurance
And that's why I get to the third question that you've already referred to
'Do you love Him at all? Do you have any affection in your heart for Jesus?
Now I have to qualify this, when I say do you have any affection
In your heart for Jesus, I mean the biblical Jesus
Are you familiar with biblical portrait of Jesus and do you have
A heart that has affection for Him?
Now why I ask that question is important, but the only way that any fallen
Human being ever has genuine religious affection for Christ, is by the
Regenerating power of God, the Holy Spirit
[R.C. Sproul]

Behold, resurrection
Behold, Christ the Lord
And again, all hail the Creator
