Wit - The Great Exchange Pt. 1 (or, Double Imputation) lyrics

[Intro] The fact that our sinfulness is our biggest problem is true Mainly, because it's a problem to God's holy, righteous, perfect character God demands perfection and He must punish sin Therefore, my deepest needs are a perfect righteousness that God will accept that I can't work up And on top of that, I need rescue from the fair punishment that my sin deserves And I'm completely unable to provide either of these [Verse 1] Yo, yo My two hugest problems can't be solved by human logic Or by a clueless college student's putrid knowledge, that's foolish nonsense! See, I am ruined, godless, and so are you, dude, if you are honest So it's a losing contest to compare yourself to God who's true and flawless Problem one: God demands perfection because “The I AM” detests sin So without a perfect righteousness, no heaven, no eternal life and bliss So why pretend, lie, and plot? God is righteous and I am not His Law shows I'm awful grimy, my unrighteousness disqualifies me Even as a Christian, I'm mad deficient and I lack sufficient Righteousness...problem two is: Yo, there's a price for this! Problem two: He must punish sin! Behold: The Just Judge, Avenged! With perfect vengeance and our guilt deserves eternal sentence! Problem two: God is true, to His Glory and His Honor's due So God's gotta prove that us hating Him is not excused The awful news: for all eternity, His wrath will fall on you The awful news, what are us unrighteous, guilty sinners all to do? [Hook 1] Problem One - His Law demands this: that we obey all commandments Problem Two - His Law demands this: that sinners be judged, so all are banished Problem One - His Law demands this: that we obey all commandments Problem Two - His Law demands this: that sinners be judged, so all are banished I need a righteousness, plus I need to appease His mighty fist But my works are trash and flawed, plus I deserve the wrath of God! Yo, I need a righteousness, plus I need to appease His mighty fist Behold, God's provision is Jesus Christ, who's all-sufficient! [Verse 2] My sin as a whole was a giant mount, none could try to count its size amount But God counted all my pride and doubt on His Son when He was crying out “WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?” was that violent shout Though not a lie in His mind or mouth Perfectly pure, inside and out, so God counts no sin to my account ‘Cause He counted my sin to Christ's account! So now it's only right to get hype and shout! He suffered God's holy jealousy, the equivalent of the whole of Hell for me! Sin's wage is d**h, so He paid the debt, so the Father has no anger left His wrath's in silence, Christ satisfied this, but there's more to the Master's kindness He doesn't just let me live and erase my infinite debt that's negative He don't just erase the sin in it, but He credits my account with infinite Righteousness...because of the perfect life that Christ has lived For 33 years before the awful tree, yo, He fulfilled the Law for me! So now God with delight receives us like we lived the perfect life of Jesus Like we was all fulfilling the Law, now we have the right to be called children of God The grace of Jesus is by the Father, I'm now just as embraced as He is You took all the worst of me and You give me Your best like I lived perfectly [Hook 2] This is the Great Exchange, all my sin placed on Christ, who takes the blame And makes the trade, His Righteousness placed on me, I praise His name This is the Great Exchange, all my sin placed on Christ, who takes the blame And makes the trade, His Righteousness placed on me, His grace displayed Nothing's greater: that Christ the LORD of glory fulfilled the Law, performed it for me! What a Savior! That Christ the LORD of glory took all my sin and bore it for me! Abundant favor! Christ the LORD of glory spilled all His blood and poured it for me! Trust and savor! Christ the LORD of Glory endured the wrath of God, absorbed it for me! [Scratches by DJ Average Joe]
