New Awakening
Mortification Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eradication of disobedience
The lake of fire for the dying soul
The Crucifixion brings true remission
Eternal life the eternal goal
Christ descended and took the keys
Enthroned majestic God's right hand
The great commission children of God
You eyes on Jesus you of faithful witness

Are you willing to learn
Rise up people with power
Are you ready to burn
With fire from on high

I won't choose pleasures of sin
For a short time
I won't betray the sacrifice
That Christ made for me
No excuse to enter the state of sin
I will not turn away

Satan's name exposes all he is to be
Reprobate with no authority
There is only one name by which you may be saved
That's the name of Jesus Christ
You must realize death is the result of sin
Seek God's forgiveness seek it down within

Are you willing to learn
Rise up people with power
Are you ready to burn
With fire from on high

Are you willing to learn
Rise up people with power




Are you ready to burn
With fire from on high
