you can put it to a beat, but there's no way you'll beat it

Let your love define you
Allow others to shine
Do
What you were made for
Quit trippin and say
Lord,
I need you, I want you
I'm here for you now
Please Use me
Consume me
The world gathered round
My life: a performance
Today, it is gone
Tomorrow I'll change it
I've said and I've done
But this time is different
The guilt that I feel
While clinging to something
I know is so real
My Savior, the Christ
He came and He died
The pain that He felt
Through the skies, how it cried
His burden? Far from
My sins came undone
The brother, His service--
Was my Father's son
So, worth it? I think so
To make the change
These loves that I had
Have been rearranged
My hand's on the table
But I didn't fold
I told you this story
THE STORY was told
Messiah, our Savior
The King above all
You heard it, I'll tell you
Have you felt the call?
The lesson--the message
That you were worth death
A beating, a mocking,
He passed all the tests
Ignore it? You'll try
And perhaps you'll succeed
For a while but oh, child
Just give in and believe
On His name is the game
That your Savior, He came
He died and He bled
Crown of thorns on His head
So that you might not perish
Yeah He came here to spare us
But-Hell--if that's what you want
To go and to burn
You hike up your pride
Oh, a lesson you'll learn
It's not my Gospel
Not a story I made
But every knee will be bowed
Every tongue, it will say
That He is the Father
That He is the King
That's right, someday
His sweet praises you'll sing
At the end of it all
When it's all said and done
When God--yes the Father
He sends back His son

It's all up to you
Free will is a gift
Will you dump it aside
Or take a free lift
To Heaven perhaps?
Less burdened by sin
I can't speak for you
But the truth I do tell
It's been great for me
Could be for you...as well
