Trip Lee - Good News lyrics

[Intro] Right now I just wanna tell ya'll a story Take you on a journey From my condemnation To our redemption [Verse 1] Well let me tell you how it started In the Garden of Eden With sweet Adam and Eve the first hearts beatin' (First) God made them in his image 'till they ate from the tree and since then all men have been born as heathens We have a sickness like people who can't beat diseases It's called sin it deserves the eternal heat (Yea) He gave us life We can keep it I'll tell you the reason But first let's get back to the ma**acre at Eden (Let's get it) The very first time man was tricked by Satan On that date and that day instantly changed our fate It was undoubtedly man's darkest hour But Eve didn't have a chance she didn't know his power We probably would have failed too if the choice was ours (Ye) It's a dilemma that man alone can't get out of (We can't) Cause our relationship with the holy God is sour Yea we all fall short of him like He's tall as towers Instead staying with the one with the awesome power (God) We steady chasing girls like Austin Powers We're all left out in the cold In a world that's crowded With skeptics and doubters who want to do without Him We got a problem (Problem) We need something to solve it now cause we're separated from the father And we're lost without Him (We lost) We got a problem, We need something to solve it now cause We're seperated from the father and we're lost without Him (We lost) [Hook] Its the bad news, we were born in sin The good news we can be born again I said the bad news, we were born in sin The good news, we can be born again I said the bad news, we were born in sin The good news we can be born again The bad news, we were born in sin The good news, we can be born again [Verse 2] So the world went on, sinnin' and all (Sinning') God even flooded it once to get rid of it all (The Flood) Time and time again all men would just fall So God the Son decided to come in the midst of it all Look, the Word became flesh to suppress our danger (Our danger) He emerged from a virgin that would rest in a manger (Mary) An angel had came to say that she was highly favored She became the mother of the one that became the savior (Christ) But a little bit before that amazing day He called on John the Baptist to make the way And when John saw Christ comin he told the men and the girls Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world He knew this Christ had come for our survival Soon after He would go to call his disciples He would, guide them, advise them to live by the bible They were privileged enough to get to walk beside Him (The 12) And they preached to others as He taught them the code (The code) They always rolled together like Tommy and Cole They were all nice guys Spiritual cats And they even got to witness His miracle acts He fed thousands when they didn't have enough bread He healed blind Even raised Lazarus from the dead But, one day, He called them all to meet in a room And he, sadly told them He'd be leavin' them soon (Ye) He said He'd be betrayed by one of these in the room (Judas) But didn't say, He would die and raise in three from the tomb Or that He'd be the one to clean us like a broom Just so He could save you and me from the doom [Hook] The bad news, we were born in sin The good news we can be born again I said the bad news, we were born in sin The good news, we can be born again I said the bad news, we were born in sin The good news we can be born again The bad news, we were born in sin The good news, we can be born again [Verse 3] None of them knew that He would be betrayed by Judas One of the chosen the few in His intimate group of Close friends who professed love for Him to no end (Man) They were sad they knew life without Him would be so grim So Him and some of the disciples went to the garden of Gethsemane (Ye) He told them to keep a lookout while he prayed with all his energy (Man) But instead of watchin' the King Each time He came back they had fallen asleep But the hour has come, men proceeding armed with swords (With swords) The disciples didn't want to let him hard the Lord But, Christ was aware that his Father's will was in this Betrayed by Judas Iscariot sealed with a kiss (Betrayed) They took Him away, Judas couldn't look at His face Think about what Jesus went through, look at His grace Put on an unfair trial it goes further though They could have set Him free, but they let a murderer go I heard it was so, barbaric how they beat him and mocked Him (They beat him) Man that's God in the flesh, He could have easily stopped Him But, He thought about us and not Him, He was crucified (The cross) That's the most painful d**h, He was bruised, then died (Yea) Joseph wrapped Him in linen and placed Jesus Christ to lay, put Him in a grave They closed to tomb, even put a stone in the way But when the women came back the stone had rolled away He rose from the grave, it's great, He's rare with his grace Redemption for Adam's sin and all who will inherit his ways We just got to believe that, we'll be freed today We should rejoice, make noise, cause we've been saved from [Hook] The bad news, we were born in sin The good news we can be born again I said the bad news, we were born in sin The good news, we can be born again I said the bad news, we were born in sin The good news we can be born again The bad news, we were born in sin The good news, we can be born again [Outro] Ya the bad new is that All of us has sinned against this God Because of that, we're deserving of wrath But the good news is that God made way out He sent his son Jesus Christ is die on the cross For any of us who want to believe that Accept Him and trust in Him We can be born again And saved And justified Ye My faith alone in Christ He's the only way Ye
