The Sinfulness of Sin
Timothy Brindle Lyrics

Sin is lawlessness, an awful mess of haughtiness
Sin is the absence of obeying God's law, a disorderly mess rooted in pride

Sin is not being in awe of His —Glory
Sin is failing to recognize and honor God's magnificent greatness

But degrading it and trading it for naughtiness
But instead demeaning His glory and exchanging it for trivial and sinful behavior

It’s treating God as ****
It's regarding God with contempt and disrespect

It’s disregarding that He exists as Sovereign
It's neglecting the truth that He is the ultimate authority

It’s more sickening than kissing harlots lips
It's more repugnant than engaging in sinful and immoral relationships

Whose breath stinks worse than garbage mixed
Whose breath smells worse than a foul mixture of trash

With the rawest fish after she gargles spit
With the most putrid fish after she rinses her mouth

Sin’s an awful virus that wants your iris
Sin is a terrible infection that desires to corrupt your vision

Clogs your sinus, gives you thoughts of violence
It obstructs your perception, leading to violent thoughts and actions

Woe to those who think it’s not inside us
Dread to those who believe they are exempt from its presence within them

Your heart despises the awesome Highness
Your heart rejects the awe-inspiring majesty of God

Gross scum, sin is so loathsome
Sin is repulsive filth, utterly detestable

And it’s shown most by the propitiation of His own Son
And its hideousness is most evident in the sacrifice of God's Son

Who so hung and choke both lungs
Who suffered and struggled for breath

It’s odor to Jehovah its worse than smoked dung
Its stench is more offensive to God than burned excrement

I pray this makes you vomit your whole inners
I pray this disgusts you to the core

To display how abominable sin is
To reveal the repugnance and horror of sin

To the honorable God who’s my witness
To testify before the honorable God who sees all

If we take sin lightly, let’s go to the cross to convince us
If we underestimate the seriousness of sin, let's look at the cross to be persuaded

Where He slaughtered the sinless
Where Jesus, who was without sin, was brutally killed

Infinitely valuable Son who paid an infinite cost for forgiveness
God's Son, who is of infinite worth, paid an infinite price for our forgiveness

‘Cause that’s the only way the infinitely holy Yahweh can take us off of His hit list
Because that is the only way the infinitely holy God can remove us from His list of justice

Sin is any thought that’s not morally pure
Sin is any thought that lacks moral purity

Sin is loving anything else more than the Lord
Sin is placing higher love and desire on anything other than God

Sin is breaking His laws, forsaking His commandments
Sin is violating God's laws and choosing to ignore His commandments

Sin is hatred for God, it’s blatantly Satanic
Sin is an expression of hatred towards God, it is in opposition to God's nature

Sin’s idolatry and serving yourself
Sin is worshiping false gods and being self-centered

It’s hating God’s riches and worshipping wealth
It's despising the blessings God provides and worshiping material possessions

Sin is substituting other ugly doings
Sin is replacing righteous actions with sinful and repugnant behaviors

For God the Son who’s the lovely true King
Instead of worshiping and following Jesus, the beautiful and true King

Sin is taking His glory and stomping, trampling on it
Sin is taking God's glory and disrespectfully trampling upon it

Often we’re mocking dancing upon it
Often we mockingly tread upon it like a dance

Sin is not enjoying what’s most glorious
Sin is not finding joy in what is most magnificent

Namely the Lord so of course He’s abhorring this
Namely, the Lord Himself, so of course He detests sin

It’s not valuing what’s most valuable
It's failing to treasure what is truly valuable

Namely the Hallowed King who’s so powerful
Namely, the holy and mighty King

Sin is not thanking God, it’s ingratitude
Sin is the absence of gratitude towards God

For this grim attitude, His wrath is due
Because of this grim attitude, God's anger is justly deserved

And every time we err or a lie is blurred
And every time we make a mistake or deceive others

The Bible says that we’ve despised His Word
The Bible declares that we have shown contempt for His Word

It’s not just sexual sin detested by Him
It's not only sexual sin that God hates

But any expression of enmity manifested within
But any form of hostility and animosity that is shown

From silent pride to violent eyes
From hidden pride to glaring expressions of anger

to the finest thighs we idolize
to the most alluring physical attributes we worship

Or the wisest guys who privatize bribes they hide
Or the cunning individuals who secretly accept and hide bribes

It’s all despised in the Messiah’s eyes
All of this is despised in the eyes of the Savior

You’re too pure to look at evil of crooked people
You, God, are too holy to look upon the evil deeds of wicked people

Who took cathedrals and made them crooks casinos
Who have transformed places of worship into dishonest gambling establishments

It’s God’s most despicable enemy
Sin is God's most detestable adversary

Sin would be the grossest sight if it were a physical entity
Sin would be the most repulsive sight if it had a physical form

See unbelievers are really dung retrievers
Unbelievers are truly those who search for filth

Chasing after feces son come to Jesus
Pursuing worthless things, but instead, come to Jesus

The Only One who cleans us
The One who alone can cleanse us

From our ugly fungus and hundreds of tons of diseases
From our sinful corruption and countless illnesses

All humans are professional sinners
Every human is an expert in sinning

We’re all born with this detestable sickness
We are all born with this repugnant disease

Our best deeds are the grimiest funk
Even our best actions are tainted with filth

They’re menstrual pads at that time of the month
They are like soiled menstrual pads

This deep corruption should seem disgusting
This profound corruption should be seen as repulsive

If not you’re guaranteed to see destruction
If not, you are certain to witness destruction

Admit your bent on being mischievous
Recognize your inclination towards mischief

So kid repent of evil wickedness
So turn away from your evil and wicked ways

But in a sense when a Christian sins
But in a sense, when a Christian sins

It’s more sickening than sins of wicked men
It's more repulsive than the sins committed by wicked individuals (Why?)

‘Cause we’ve tasted His goodness as recipients of grace
Because we have experienced His goodness through the gift of grace

So every time we inn it’s like we’re spitting His face
So every time we sin, it's like we are disrespectfully spitting in His face

If Christians are no longer trapped in its bondage
If Christians are no longer held captive by sin's power

Then why as dogs do we go back to our vomit?
Then why do we, like dogs, return to our vomit?

How dare us believers not cherish this Jesus
How dare we, as believers, not treasure Jesus

And instead indulge in sin it’s scary to see this
And instead choose to engage in sin, it's fearful to witness this

Until we make Christ our treasured King
Until we make Christ our esteemed and valued King

And see His worth above everything
And recognize His value above all else

We won’t recognize sin’s evil nature
We will not fully understand the evil nature of sin

Or appreciate our bleeding grieving Savior
Or truly appreciate our Savior who suffered and mourned for us

My point is this-Sin is so wicked
My point is that sin is incredibly evil

But we dismissed this ‘cause we’re so distant
But we tend to disregard it because we are distant from it

From the Lord’s glorious light
From the brilliant and radiant presence of the Lord

It’s not ‘til we’re in it that we’ll see sin’s horrible sight (right)
Only when we intimately experience sin will we fully comprehend its repulsive nature

But perhaps the greatest mystery
But perhaps the greatest marvel

Is that the Holy One Himself became iniquity
Is that the Holy One Himself took on sinfulness

And suffered infinite pain and misery
And endured immeasurable pain and suffering

To give us saving grace and make us sinners free
To grant us redeeming grace and set us free from sin
