The Voice - Thou Art The Christ текст песни

Intro:
He said unto them, “But whom say ye that I am?” And Simon Peter answered and said,
"Thou art the Christ, thou art thou art the Christ, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God."

Verse 1:
Now how you hold a sign on the corner saying 'God hates gays”, and expect they're gonna step in the church and get saved? Or better yet how we believe that real Christians… would rock hate propaganda on picket signs and wristbands? That leaves a taste in my mouth like rotten fruit, because the Jesus of the Bible ate dinner with the prostitutes. Folks say'n' He''sa crutch or a legend, they only use His name when they be cursing and stressing. Man, I confess it homeboy I've done the same; they say it''s an expression, others say it's used in vain. But if it is…, we need it like an IV ; 30 CC's of the truth will make the blind see. The picture blurry? Let me clear it up like Vvsine. I'm here to shine light in the dark, my flows is high beams. It all depends on what you calling Him fam, was Christ just a good teacher? Was He God or a man?

Chorus:
Thou art the Christ, thou, thou art thou art the Christ, x3 Yo, you got to call Him something but you can''t call Him nothing!
Thou art the Christ, thou, thou art thou art the Christ, x3 Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God!

Verse 2:
He's got to be the most misunderstood, most misquoted, Fox News commentated, right wing voted, blond hair, blue eyed, and mis-illustrated, in every artistic depiction that's been created. Mis-represented by many who claim His name, Rejected by religious folk for going against the grain. One called Him a prophet, others call Him a Savior, But some call Him Savior just to profit off the paper,($). Some say political or Holy Man, Some say He was God, others only Man. One says He perfect, the other says He's a sinner. They claim He sat down with con-men to eat dinner. Now what kind of spiritual leader would do that? I guess the type that meets people right where they're at. Man, it all depends on what you're calling Him fam;
Was Christ just a good teacher? Was He God or a man?

Chorus:
Thou art the Christ, thou, thou art thou art the Christ, x3 Yo, you got to call Him something but you can't call Him nothing!
Thou art the Christ, thou, thou art thou art the Christ, x3 Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God!

Verse 3:
Okay man, a thousand years before the birth of Christ, ancient prophecies record the details of His life. Let''s start first with His family tree. See, it was prophesied there in Jeremiah 23; That He''d be a descendant of King David. His blood line matches. Y''all can check it ,He made it! Moving right along there to Psalm 22, the Bible says His hands and His feet would get pierced through. The next prophecy was recorded by Zachariah, about the blood money given for the life of the Messiah. 30 silver coins; the exact amount! That was written 500 years before He got sold out! Now I can keep going but I'm pressed for time, I couldn''t fit 300 other prophecies in my rhymes. And secular historians have verified His life. One living during His time spoke highly of Christ. His name was Josephus, he validated Jesus. His life, death, resurrection miracles and teachings. But what compels me more to believe, is the fact that His disciples DIED ALONE on the streets, (as martyrs) . See, I truly doubt that if what they preached was a lie, That everyone of them except Judas would be willing to die. Plus, 500 eye witnesses said they saw Him risen, (from the dead). It only takes one, (witness), to send your butt to prison! So, if Christ is who He says He is, And He rose up out of the grave… Then you and I really need to call the man who He truly is; The only name by which men are saved! Now shout it out y'all!
