timothy brindle - liberation lyrics

[verse 1]
i was born in sin’s penitentiary/
enslaved to evil- this condemned and sentenced me/
locked in a cell block, i’d act wickedly in captivity/
while watching myself rot born with a death sentence/
warned to neglect repentance by my lord who expressed vengeance/
by deceiving my mind and keeping me blind/
and convincing me that evil was fine/
his name is lucifer, he was my slave master/
he said to oppose god and screamed with great laughter/
he ruled this prison of sin, my vision was dim/
he told me what to do and i’d listen to him/
i was depraved and arrogant- an accursed transgressor/
my ways inherited- from my first ancestors/
trapped in my sinful habitation/
i was into masturbation, and it kindled aggravation/
but i loved the darkness of my cell/
plus my lungs were heartless, and this sluggard’s carc-ss had a smell/
an unbearable stench/
disgusting and vile, my l-sting was wild, with some terrible wench/
a praiser of wickedness, my behavior was mischievous/
craving sin-enslaved to my sicknesses/
much inclined to muck and slime/
and crust and grime i has such a disgusting mind/
sinning was fluid, swimming in sewage/
lucifer fed me his stew i’d drink and then spew it/
i often coughed and had constant red eye/
spiritually talkin’ i was a walkin’ dead guy/
’cause the law hung over me as a guillotine/
really mean, and thrilled to sin, i was still a fiend/
many times a man came to my cell/
to ask me if i wanted someone to save me from h-ll/
but i’d slap him in the face, and laugh at this grace/
’cause it so happened that i was trapped in this place/
i was content in sin, i disregarded that i couldn’t be pardoned/
from my sentencing so i slept heavily-the best remedy/
in neglecting the fact i faced a death penalty/
then came my day of execution/
it was time to die but i couldn’t pay the retribution!!!

[verse 2]
i was a detestable prisoner, an ineffective listener/
than i had an unexpected visitor/
and this was frightening, ’cause i was trifling/
then came the spirit of christ the righteous king/
a shining light came on inside of my cell/
revealing my sinful condition, i cried and i yelled/
god forgive me, rescue me from death’s despair/
don’t execute me in the electric chair!/
but then i was embraced- by his love and truth/
he said he died in my place-as my subst-tute/
i couldn’t fathom his charity, so i asked him clarity/
he actually sat in the chair for me/
he took the violent wrath on my behalf/
so i could have life and be alive at last!/
my first reply, was but you’re a perfect guy/
you never cursed or lied, you didn’t deserve to die/
but he said he wanted to because he made a covenant/
to save his people so they wouldn’t face his punishment/
so i hugged and thanked him, his robe was all red/
he said he proved all this was true because he rose from the dead/
now my charges were dropped/
he gave me faith when he replaced my heart because it was as hard as a rock/
he broke my shackles, now my visions clear/
i was given ears, he removed my filthy prison gear/
and proceeded to put it on the shelf/
my death sentence was dropped when he took it upon himself/
then he dressed me in his perfect righteousness/
the nicest gift, yes i was hype from this!/
he told me he freed me for a purpose, tim/
to conform me to his image, and serve and worship him/
then i fell on my face i’ll tell of your ways/
and proclaim you save sinners by indelible grace/
i savor this pleasure, you’re the greatest of treasures/
jesus christ- i can’t wait to praise you forever/
but then lucifer tried to keep me from leavin’/
but jesus crushed his head and defeated his demons/
we bounced from the prison, he announced i’m forgiven/
i was dead in that place, now i’m out and i’m livin’/
and i shout: ‘he is risen!’ for hours abroad/
i’ve been freed by the gospel which is the power of god/
then he said he must return to his father’s side/
i started crying, so he said “be calm, you’re fine”/
because his holy spirit will guide my steps/
he promised he’d keep me until my final breath/
i now await the return of the sovereign lamb/
to take me to worship him in the promised land/
this parable’s a metaphorical -n-logy/
of a terrible but then adorable reality

[outro]
and i’m praising jesus, ’cause he redeemed and freed me when i was enslaved in egypt
and i’m praising jesus, ’cause he redeemed and freed me when i was enslaved in egypt
