justin bergen - bethlehem lyrics

i’ve got a big problem
greed
murder
blasphemy
l-st
i hate what i do but i do what i must
the only thing we contributed to our salvation is the sin that made it necessary
our worship of anything other than god is idolatry, and makes him secondary
what is your god? search for your idols
don’t p-ssively park in your car as it idles
i doll up my walk with the lord as perfection
my heart, pr-ne to wander in every direction
out of the heart comes my l-st and my pride
blasphemy, murder, i’ve stolen and lied
i’ve mastered the method of seeking to hide
a grave painted white, i am rotting inside
is it any wonder i barely turn my head when the dead pile up on the news?
is it any wonder our priests preach your best life now and the people still sleep in the pews?
yolo! yells the youth pastor
secretly nursing his p-rn addiction
i don’t know! he whispers
to the wondering 13-year-old on whether or not genesis was fiction
there’s no conviction, no depiction
of who god created us to be
and if i examine my idols, i find my idol is really me
you see, i used to see this judicial system. the law
and it’s fully there
but my deeper problem is that i’m trapped underwater and i’m rejecting a full tank of air
jeremiah 2:13
god is angry at his people
not for their lack of legalese
but for having committed two evils
evil number one, they had forsaken the fount of life, the father
evil number two, they had built for themselves wells that could not hold any water
can you imagine pouring yourself a gl-ss of mud when right in front of you is a glacially fed, glistening brook?
can you imagine jumping off a 4000 foot cliff with a pillowcase when a parachute was what it took?
we sin in sincerity
true to our humanity
but choosing dog food
over belgian waffles
is mere insanity
mary, did you know?
that your son was born in a manger?
wanna know what’s even stranger?
things
let me explain
bethlehem is known as the house of bread
and guess where the saviour laid his head
jesus was laid in a literally glorified animal drinking trough
it’s a wonder he didn’t get whooping cough
but i’ll get to the point before you start drooping off
jesus said he had the living water
he said he was the bread of life
but we’re consuming kool-aid and krispy kremes, completely ignoring the christ
we spend our lives on the products that please us
but ultimate satisfaction can only come from jesus
anything else is just a farce, a fleshly photoshopped fakery
like “g-y rights” activists shutting down a christian bakery
back to bread, back to the beginning
before god had even created the humans who came up with sinning
satan was an angel
authentic in all regards
but he idolized himself
rather than worship the god who made the stars
the daystar has fallen
london has fallen
olympus has fallen
white house down
while the sin gap was spanning
we didn’t need channing
but a saviour
to carry a cross across town
and that’s what jesus did, though they spat in his face
he endured the abuse of the whole human race
and in case you were interested
he was t-boned in the intersection
brutally nailed to two 2 by 4s for committing no crime
the carpenter who hand-crafted even the concept of time
he bled and died in my place, judgment exchanged for grace
and now his righteousness is mine
history doesn’t repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme
now history would be over, but his story is not over
he rose again the third day
and took his rightful place, jehovah
rapha, shalom, elohim, el shaddai
all power, all honour, all glory, adonai
and my addictions, my facades
are trampled in the sod
because i asked forgiveness
of a merciful, loving god
i’m forgiven. he is cursed
i hated him, he loved me first
and while i wallowed in my worst
jesus came and quenched my thirst
