Resurrection
Da' T.R.U.T.H. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This body's a tent,
Heavens where home is
I guess its safe to say that God's people
Are homeless
And just as sure as a fugitive runs our moneys are tied up in mutual funds
Cats be like u got unusal ones
Numero one Christ had to rip the veil
Cos there was bad blood between us like sickle cell aneamia
The media that keep feedin us lies and immediat-elty we eat it up like medium fries whoa
The heartbeat in the side longs for the day
When Christ will come plus bring me to his side and clothe me in white
We'll be jus like him like Kobe & Mike
Me and my homies, my wife
Me and my homies like R-swift J-silas c em
Corey Precise
We goin to glory right!
We headed to the new heaven the new earth
Baby I got proof
Its Jesus Christ Resurection and I'm not duped
This is objectivity its not my truth
We goin to glory y'all how bout you?
Listen..
New Heaven New Earth
Baby I got proof
Its Jesus Christ Resurection and I'm not duped
This is objectivity its not my truth
We goin to glory y'all how bout you?
Listen..
My poppa aint a rollin stone
And when the angels rolled the stone away you better know the roman soldiers were blown away
We got a stoaway
Nah Jesus Christ, died, resurected folded his clothes then stole away
Now thats incredible
He showed himself da credible witnesses that witnessed his death but
Didnt expect Him to come out of the grave
Just as the scriptures had said
And he thought the ladies were sick in the head
And when they came back reporting what they had seen with their eyes the disciples were sceptical so they sent Peter and John..Yo
To verify what they told 'em
Jesus is risen
Meanwhile the chief priests were bribin the soldiers
Obviously with a valuable token they told em to keep quiet and just to say his body was stolen yo
By the disciples at night while the soldiers were sleepin but the story was weak and He showed himself breathin livin and movin made appearances showed em his feet and his nail scarred hands
Reiterated and told em his secret
He said I am the fulfillment of Moses's teachings cleoprathes grievings turn into joy cos he was hopin to see his redeemer even josephius wrote of this Jesus the historical Christ
Even explorers are like there's irrefutable evidence in support of His life
Plus his dying and I am not lying
Tell a friend thats agnostic God has got no skeletons in his closet NOPe
They cant find his bones
Nowhere to be found not even his teeth
Nowhere in the ground
WHY?
He's home wearing a crown
The disciples watched him ascend
Therefore we Holy Spirit endowed
With the power to be witnesses how many listeners know that when you die you'll rise and be with rest of us
We not cocky, we confident in the God who rescued us plus
Resurected his son from out of the seplica have you accepted these facts
And if u havent lets chat
After the show or email me and I'll be happy to rap
About these matters concerning our faith
Jesus Christ Resurection has determined our fate!
The lyrics of Da’ T.R.U.T.H.’s song Resurrection speaks of his longing for his true home in Heaven, where God’s people belong. He recognizes that having a body is like being in a tent as our real home is in the afterlife. He also mentions that as God’s people, we are technically homeless because our true home is in Heaven. Da’ T.R.U.T.H. then proceeds to talk about how the riches of God’s people are stored up for after life and not in the material wealth of this world. He also speaks of his belief in Jesus Christ’s resurrection, citing evidence like the folded clothes and the disciples’ skepticism that changed into confidence after seeing Jesus alive.
The song continues with Da’ T.R.U.T.H. explaining how Jesus Christ accomplished the impossible by rising from the dead just as the scriptures had foretold. He also mentions that there were attempts to bribe the soldiers to keep quiet, but they couldn’t deny the truth of what they saw. Da’ T.R.U.T.H. emphasizes that God has no skeletons in His closet, meaning that there is nothing to be ashamed of, and even explorers could both argue for Christ’s historical existence and his dying and rising again, was not a lie. Da’ T.R.U.T.H. concludes the song by affirming that accepting these facts is what determines our fate in the afterlife, and he is confident in the God who rescued and resurrected us.
