[Intro]
This ain’t a game
This that altar talk
This that grave broke open
This that blood that bought (yeah)
[Verse 1]
You flex chains
He broke ’em with nails
You chase clout
He carried our hell
Talk tough, but you fragile inside
He took stripes on His back so you wouldn’t have to bleed dry
You want proof?
Look at that cross
Perfect King
Dripping like loss
Every lash, every spit, every thorn in His skin
Was a guilty man’s tab that He paid for my sin
I was dead in the dirt, heart cold, no feel
Tried money, tried drugs, still empty, unreal
Then the One I laughed at
Stepped in, that’s facts
Now I ride with the Lamb, sword drawn, no cap (hey!)
[Chorus]
He bled for me
This ain’t a game, it’s destiny
You think you real
He broke the grave, that’s energy
He took the stripes
So you wouldn’t have to pay that price
Jesus more real than you realize
More real than you realize
He bled for me
This ain’t a show, it’s history
You think you free
But He the One that holds the keys
He took the stripes
So you wouldn’t have to fight that fight
Jesus more real than you realize
More real than you realize (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Talk war?
He already won that
Devil want smoke?
He already done that
Pierced hands, side torn, crown digging in bone
Still said “forgive ’em” from a blood-soaked throne
You brag body count
He counted every tear
You pop off loud
He whispered “I’m here”
Laid down in the tomb, three days so still
Came out on the third, walked through death like chill
You chase likes
He chose love
You want proof?
He rose up
Nails in wrist, that receipt won’t fade
Paid in full on the wood where my shame got laid
Thought I was too far, too dirty, too gone
He ran to my wreck like “son, come home”
Now I move with a cross in my sightline
Every bar blood-marked, every word His, not mine (woah)
[Chorus]
He bled for me
This ain’t a game, it’s destiny
You think you real
He broke the grave, that’s energy
He took the stripes
So you wouldn’t have to pay that price
Jesus more real than you realize
More real than you realize
He bled for me
This ain’t a show, it’s history
You think you free
But He the One that holds the keys
He took the stripes
So you wouldn’t have to fight that fight
Jesus more real than you realize
More real than you realize (yeah, yeah)
[Bridge]
This that altar
This that blood call
Heart on the line
Back to the wall
You can run to the pills, to the blade, to the thrills
Or run to the One who already paid all your bills (hey!)
[Chorus]
He bled for me
This ain’t a game, it’s destiny
You think you real
He broke the grave, that’s energy
He took the stripes
So you wouldn’t have to pay that price
Jesus more real than you realize
More real than you realize
He bled for me
This ain’t a show, it’s history
You think you free
But He the One that holds the keys
He took the stripes
So you wouldn’t have to fight that fight
Jesus more real than you realize
More real than you realize
