Restoration
BoughtXBlood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You try to preach the gospel
His word you cannot sell
The people need to here it
Yet you mince his word
Twisting and turn his promise
To fill your bank account
His judgment will be final
So you want restoration
You can't tell the truth for telling lies
Now you want resurrection
He will for ever be in our lives.
For ever be in our lives
He is eternal
All hell has to bow down
Before heavens gates
Give in to the truth now
Before it is to late
Satan will bow down
Before Jesus above
Give in to the truth now
I tell you this with love
Now as we come together
Trying to give the truth
This is the final hour
To give this truth to you
The wait is finally over
Just look to him above
From God this message comes
To you from me with love
With love
So you want restoration
You can't tell the truth for telling lies
Now you want resurrection
He will for ever be in our lives
So you want restoration
You can't tell the truth for telling lies
Now you want resurrection
He will for ever be in our lives
