[Verse 1: Timothy Brindle] (On Bad Good Works)
Yo--your good works are bad!
On top of that, your bad works deserve God's curse and wrath!
In the Bible, our works are as perverse as a women's menstrual cycle's dirty pad (Isaiah 64:6)
Over God, we preferred pervert mags
And lived ungrateful like jerky brats (Rom. 1:21)
As depraved as a varment rat
(Hold up--a rat can't sin--so we're WORSE THAN THAT!)
Since we've spurned God's Worth, He's mad
And you can't turn off His Furnace with a thermostat
Good works can't earn His favor (Rom. 3:20; Gal. 2:16)
And His burning anger--you can't turn it back! (Nahum 1:2, 6)
Then how can us slaves be purchased back?
And resurrected from our hearse and bag?
Only by the Works of a Holy Person--who never murmured but served Him glad! (Rom. 5:19)
Who is more spotless than a perfect calf (1st Peter 1:19)
And on the Cross cried “Have Mercy, Dad!” (Luke 23:34)
I'm sure Satan smirked and laughed
But on the 3rd day Christ left the serpent SMASHED! (Gen. 3:15=1st John 3:8)
Since our best works and acts
Are really dirty shirts with turds and crap! (Zechariah 3:3 “filthy” in Hebrew: “human excrement”)
Come to Christ and be certain that:
You'll be wrapped up in His perfect Turban-Cap! (Zechariah 3:4-5)
Hook: Tim: What can i do to be working for God/ Zae: working For God means your cursed by the law/ StL: Don't put your trust in the deeds that you've done/ All: cause the work of God is to believe in His son
[Verse 2: Zae the Blacksmith] (Christ's GOOD Works)
Imagine Him just lamping in His Trinity all handsome & shimmering
In glorious splendor that's been flashing for infinity
Looking below and beholding all of these little things
Including all of us with our flaws distorting His imaging
He knows the Fathers standards must demand perfection
Then His heart fills with compa**ion & He thrusts forth into action
He jumps inside a sack of flesh and masking His perfections
Condescends and lives the perfect life hence the resurrection
And there's never walked another one among us without faults or blunders
Fought the fight and won but hung so sinners can become His brothers
The one whose very words perform the greatest works you'll see
Who wakes out of His sleep & speaks to calm the raging winds & seas
Who speaks to the dead and says “Lazarus arise!”
Had He not called him by name all of the dead would have just come alive
The Prince of Peace, King of Kings, Lord of Lords
Ho Kristos, Mashiach, the Savior, mi Salvador
Whose works were worth the purse to purchase awful chumps & jerks
Who trust the Son to save them from the righteous wrath their works deserved
So now our work is placing faith in Him who came to take away our sin
By living righteous and laying His life to make us just like Him
Our greatest work is faith & it works greatest placed in the Messiah
Who came as a servant yet we serve Him as our Lord & Sire
A Fire that's all consuming and the source of life in humans
I advise investing all your might in fighting to pursue Him

[Verse 3: Stephen the Levite] (Christ-Enabled GOOD Good Works; Eph. 2:10)
Since His works were perfect, and purchased/ a new heart for you inserted at rebirth it's/ pertinent we observe this:/ His effort is what gives our works worth, Without Him their worthless// because we exist in a tension/ between the God who lives in us, and the body we're given to live in/ it's urgent that we give attention to our intentions/ and murder absurd pride prying to pitch in// though the verdict was not guilty/ our perverted thoughts were filthy, with dirt that, still leaves/ when it's purged in continual, conversion/ still clean but serve in the earth who's dirt clings, to His servants// you can't earn gifts, but get to work cause there's perks if/ faithfulness is a**erted, we've learned this// the reward's tested through burning/ the gold silver and precious stones we're accredited, cuz He earned it// We respond in faith to his Word then/ His grace ensures we get the strength to endure when, we're workin'/ we're His workmanship, And He's the Workman with/ a plan laid in advance and we're workin' it// Not just smarter, but harder, in service/ to the Father, we worship, giving honor through verses/ we holler, his heirs live, through the excruciating labor of the Savior who takes away what the curse did//
