The Way, The Truth, The Life

[Verse]
Streets cold, but the soul stay warmer
Debt paid in full, no IOUs, no corner
Cross heavy like a weight bench on my chest
Still, I rise, no contest, I'm blessed
He walked water, I can barely swim
Treading sins, knee-deep, still trustin' Him
Every scar, every tear, every prayer I shout
A map to the Kingdom, that's the route
[Chorus]
Lift Him up, lift Him up, hands to the sky
The way, the truth, the life, no alibi
Jesus Christ paid it all, let the chains fall
God don’t count favors, He gave it all
[Verse 2]
Sin bankrupt, but my ledger got erased
Grace like a melody, can’t be replaced
Crown of thorns traded for a King’s glow
Blood washed the guilt, now my soul’s aglow
Pharisees schemin’, demons keep screamin’
Faith like a mustard seed, mountains I’m leavin’
I stumble, I trip, but never backslide
Cause Christ is the compass, the ultimate guide
[Bridge]
Debt collector’s knockin’, but the bill’s torn
Price paid on that rugged cross, worn
He bled, He rose, broke every curse
Eternal life gifted, nothing reimbursed
