by Not Condemned

1.
Verse 1 {Narrator}: Made from naught. Formless void. Life is wrought. Mankind is born. There was a time God walked with men. There was a place untouched by sin. There was perfection in our grasp. Heaven on earth was real! Lying snake. Tempting fruit. Mind is swayed. Swallow your doom. Prechorus {Serpent}: Listem to me, don't listen to God. He only wants to hold you back. He knows you can be like Him, why don't you tast and see The knowledge, the power that you lack? Chorus {Mankind}: We are humanity. We are gods. We've earned liberty. We've spurned God. Verse 2 {Narrator}: Leave our home. Death is born. Cursed within. Our souls are torn. There was a time God walked with us. We had a place untouched by sin. There was perfection in our hands. Heaven on earth was real! Now we toil. Hide out of fear. Sugar-lies Echo in our ears. Prechorus Chorus Bridge {Adam}: What have I done? Have I hurt my Maker and my truest friend? How could I believe I knew what was best? Yet even in this darkness, and even in this night, I know You have a plan. So even though I've turned away, and even though I've shed so many tears To quench my pain I know You'll find a Way.

Verse 1: Mystery. Why would he choose to come here? Tiny shell holds the fate of the world. Is it us? Is it we who would draw Him from His throne? Born as a child. Cursed, like all gone before . . . But God's Spirit's within him. Chorus: In the darkness - the womb of a virgin Beats the heart of the Light of the world. In a stable - the lowest of places Sleeps the King from above. Verse 2: Teach the earth in the guise of a servant. Destined one. One to suffer for all. Taking on all the sins of the world, though few would know. Offering for man. Blood that covers my sin So one day I'll be with him. Chorus Bridge {Scripture Reading} Chorus: Little Bethlehem. In the heart of Judea Lives the Ancient One - Life before time. In the night, under veil of darkness Lies my God veiiled in flesh.

Verse 1: We have suffered for ages. God, we've lived without You. Tents of skin - mortal cages. Bloody hands. Blood is due. Through the Law and the prophets you reveal Your plan: Son of dust. Son of David. Son of God. Son of man. Prechorus: Come and show us the way to life. Come and take us away from our strife. Chorus: Where is the Messiah? Mighty King, take Your throne. Where is the Deliverer? When will He come to His own? How long have we waited? How long have we cried? God, we long for a Saviour. Will our hope be denied? Verse 2: Caught in endless destruction. How unfaithful we've been. We've forgotten Your goodness. We are empty within. Now we don't know our Maker Though we know the Law well. Empty rituals for favour. Blindly marching to hell. Prechorus Chorus

Verse 1: When the baby had grown He left all that He'd known back in Nazareth. As He ventured from home Men left all that they owned just to follow. Heal the sick, blind and lame Power given to him by his Father. Teach the rich and the poor Crowds would flock to the shore and the mountain. Prechorus: Powerful! Words that left marks on the hearts of men. Wonderful! Life-changing wisdom he gave to them. Chorus: I AM the Way And the Truth And the Life. No one can come to The Father but through me. Verse 2: Never had the world known Power like what was shown by the Teacher. Winds and storms became tame Demons fled from his Name: Name of Jesus. God of heaven met earth When the infant was birthed to the virgin. Heaven's King left His throne Covered in flesh and bone. God with us. Prechorus Chorus / Bridge / Chorus (x2)

Verse 1: Crowds had gathered to see him Amazed at words that he said. There were some who opposed him. Some who wanted him dead. Selling ancient religion Mixed with rules of their own. Peddling human traditions As if they were proclaimed from God's holy throne. Prechorus: This man is not one of us. He must be from Beelzebub. Chorus: We are the "holy" ones. We are the Law. God picked His favourites. you don't belong. We know what God demands. We know you're wrong. Listen to what we say. Follow along! Verse 2: Secretly plotting against him, They found one who'd betray. Thirty pieces of silver Is all that they had to pay. under cover of darkness Judas led the enraged. With a kiss, like a brother, Would he mark his teacher in the midnight raid. Prechorus Chorus / Bridge / Chorus

Verse 1: Hear the chanting crowd. See them gather round. Blameless man on trial. Son of God reviled. Pilate hears the fray. Pressure has it's way. Cleanse the hands, the mind. Justice for the blind. Prechorus: This man has hurts our pride! This man has to die! Chorus: Body hanging. Blood is flowing. Darkness spreading. Breath is slowing. Mother's crying. Life is dying. Verse 2 {Soldiers}: Take his robe, his clothes. Fill his head with holes. Thrash upon his back. Watch the surface crack. Chase him to the hill. Try to break his will. Give the lots a toss. Hang him on a cross. Prechorus Chorus 2: Body hanging. Blood is flowing. Hanged man mocking. Hanged man hoping. Mother's crying. Life is dying. Bridge Prechorus 2: This man has hurts our pride! This man was condemned before the forming of the world. This man will not lie! This man has to die {scream}!! Chorus Chorus (Reprise): Earth is shaking. Graves are open. Veil is tearing. Curse is broken.

Rebirth 05:11
Verse 1: Down from the cross they took His corpse And laid him in a tomb. The opening was sealed and watched. A heavy stone they'd hewn. Sorrow engulfed those who'd been His friends. Unaware that three days had come to an end. Chorus: Morning - dawn is upon those who choose to believe. Born again - the tomb has been opened and Life has spilled free! Deathless - the power of Hades ahs been robbed from within. Son of God has opened the doorway to Life without sin! Verse 2: The prophecies of old were true. Fulfillment in that day. The hope of countless ages past. The Christ, alive today! Living among us, He took our form. Dying to save us forevermore.
