chrys jones – passover lyrics
[verse 1: chrys jones]
flip the scriptures to exodus 12
and we can see that god will have n-body next to himself
when it comes to his praise, he collects it himself
and when it comes to his people, he protects them himself
he sent moses to the people and brought a new holiday
to show that he’s the one, not just pennies or a hardaway
the true god, who can take a brittle, stony heart away
but you’ll meet his wrath on the path of the harder way
pharaoh took it, 9 plagues, cardiac bricks
lie after lie, pain came, he would act quick
’til the hurt ceased, took his word, did backflips
last plague came, moses said it’d be his last trip
to the throne of that foolish, wicked man
god was working in the background to reveal his plan
remember, this was foretold to abraham
slavery, redemption, all so we could praise the lamb
[hook: chrys jones]
this the p-ssover
god’s people celebrate it over and over again
this the p-ssover
the blood on the door protecting people from perishing
this the p-ssover
as often as you do it, do it in his remembrance
this the p-ssover
his blood spilled once and for all to cover all our sin
[verse 2: ian buchanan]
god’s mighty and redemptive acts
these aren’t really stories of sentiment but historical facts
the p-ssover is included in that
the old testament redemption is not excluded from fact
jude exclaims this, then he proves this statement
jesus saved his people from egypt, the ruthless nation
and his blood made the payment
we p-ss through christ, our red sea
now we’re regarded as blameless
as priests in his house, we can feast on his sacrifice
he gives himself as spiritual food to satisfy appet-tes
be cleansed from your sin and be sure to purge the leaven
paul admonishes us in first corinthians 5:7
and as for the supper, he communes with his flock
he’s present to feed our faith as our spiritual rock
and along with moses, we now sing a new song
worthy is the lamb upon which our hope is now built on
[hook: chrys jones]
this the p-ssover
god’s people celebrate it over and over again
this the p-ssover
the blood on the door protecting people from perishing
this the p-ssover
as often as you do it, do it in his remembrance
this the p-ssover
his blood spilled once and for all to cover all our sin
[verse 3: chrys jones]
when satan berates and debates my mind
the temptation is to think that i’m fake and blind
but then i’m asking myself, “man, is that sober?”
’til i bask in the wealth of christ’s p-ssover
god protected his people through lamb’s blood
the church is more than a steeple, it’s people who stand up
due to our sin we are weeping with hands up
but he sent a man to this land with a plan to disband the
enemies of our souls: sin, death, and satan
he still allows ’em to roam, but we’re his holy nation
jerusalem ain’t our home, but we can boldly say it
we are the people god knows, he chose to show his gracious
love for us, and now we take the lord’s supper
in remembrance of the lamb, we know the lord suffered
and shed his blood, gave his body for his bride
and when i’m feeling dead inside, i can know that i’m alive
[hook: chrys jones]
this the p-ssover
god’s people celebrate it over and over again
this the p-ssover
the blood on the door protecting people from perishing
this the p-ssover
as often as you do it, do it in his remembrance
this the p-ssover
his blood spilled once and for all to cover all our sin
