POEM:

He conquered all as the Messiah - Christus Victor
May Christ be victorious in you, He's our winner
People display their faith with some symbols
Relic and ancient jewelry, overused and simple
What does it really stand for, foolish to perishing
Power to GOD from deed within, we're cherishing
look here - this ring. Is it alive and vibrant too
the beauty of this walk it's a process, a silent truth
Sanctification is being applied to a holy being
working in us and on going till we stand and we're seeing
eye to eye with the guy, he's our deity figure
why spend time worshiping, something that's not
A sign of weakness. Death, no miracle or wisdom
but Christ is the power of GOD - He's with Him
we all want a dude. A man's man, not a hippie
or a surfer dude, men follow him, to others it seems silly

Individuals bubble at the surface, who'll set it back in motion
How can a hero serve us, will He lack in commotion
Not even waves in an ocean, can say hello enough
Even nature gives praise, who prays for this stuff

Why be universal or relevant, no need for brilliance
Be like Lazarus + by Agape be resilient
Don't reject life, because of the evidence of death
Allergic to dust, wonder who gives you breath

He could have shown his stuff, but he was obedient
He submitted like Clark Kent, getting beat and bent
So different, the opposite, ambidextrous liver
not quick to quit, he was an abundant giver
Get underneath like a sliver, deep within
you need evidence and proof, yet you sleep with sin
From a human point of view, it's not working
intellectuals need that brain function flirting
Many think it's brilliant, leaning on our own
understanding science & a mathematical poem
acting so grown, in our daddy's clothes
but they don't fit, and soon he's coming back home
All they do is babble on, with no pack leaders
no conclusion, many agree, but none accept. Cheaters
make up your mind, stop idol talk, that's idle talk
why don't you try to walk, like a man risen. Don't stop!

Individuals bubble at the surface, who'll set it back in motion
How can a hero serve us, will He lack in commotion
Not even waves in an ocean, can say hello enough
Even nature gives praise, who prays for this stuff

Why be universal or relevant, no need for brilliance
Be like Lazarus + by Agape be resilient
Don't reject life, because of the evidence of death
Allergic to dust, wonder who gives you breath
