Bad Good Works Lyrics by The.Collective (Rap)

The Collective

2013

[Verse 1: Timothy Brindle]
Your good works are bad / on top of that your bad works deserve God’s curse and wrath / in the Bible our works are as perverse as a women’s menstrual cycle’s dirty pad (Isaiah 64:6) / over God preferred pervert mags / and lived ungrateful like jerky brats / as depraved as a vermin rat / (hold up a rat can’t sin we’re worse than that) / since we’ve spurned God’s worth He’s mad / and you can’t turn off His furnace with a thermostat / good works can’t earn His favor and His burning anger you can’t turn it back / then how can us slaves be purchased back / and resurrected from our hearse and bag? / only by the works of a holy Person that never murmured but served Him glad / who's more spotless than a perfect calf / and on the cross cried (have mercy Dad) / I’m sure Satan smirked and laughed but on the third day Christ left the serpent smashed / since our best works and acts to God are really dirty shirts with turds and crap (Zechariah 3:3 filthy in Hebrew: human excrement) / come to Christ and be certain that you’ll be wrapped up in His perfect turban-cap (Zechariah 3:4-5) /
[Hook]
Yo what can I do to be working for God? / naw dawg working for God means you're cursed by the Law / so don't put your trust in the deeds that you've done / cause the work of God's to believe in His Son / (X2)
[Verse 2: Zae da Blacksmith]
Imagine Him just lamping in His Trinity / all handsome and shimmering / in splendor that has been flashing for all infinity / looking below and beholding all of these little things / including all of us with our flaws distorting His imaging / He knows the Father's standards must demand perfection then His heart's filled with compassion and He thrusts forth into action / He jumps inside a sack of flesh and masking His perfections condescends and lives the perfect life / hence the resurrection / and there's never walked another one among us without faults or blunders / fought the fight and won but hung so sinners can become His brothers / the One whose very words perform the greatest works you’ll see / who wakes out of His sleep and speaks to calm the raging winds and seas / who speaks to the dead and says (Lazarus arise) / had He not called him by name all of the dead would have just come alive / the Prince of peace / King of kings / Lord of lords / Ho Christos / Mashiach / the Savior / mi Salvador / whose works were worth the purse to purchase awful chumps and jerks who trust the Son to save them from the righteous wrath their works deserved / so now our work is placing faith in Him who came to take away our sin by living righteous and laying His life to make us just like Him / our greatest work is faith and it works greatest placed in the Messiah / who came as a Servant yet we serve Him as our Lord and Sire / a Fire that’s all consuming and the Source of life in humans / I advise investing all your might in fighting to pursue Him /
[Verse 3: Stephen the Levite]
Since His works were perfect and purchased a new heart for you inserted at rebirth it's / pertinent we observe this / His effort is what gives our works worth / without Him they're worthless / because we exist in a tension between the God who lives in us and the body we're given to live in / it's urgent that we give attention to our intentions / and murder absurd pride prying to pitch in / though the verdict was not guilty our perverted thoughts were filthy / with dirt that still leaves when it's purged in continual conversion / still clean but serve in the earth whose dirt clings to His servants / you can't earn gifts / but get to work cause there’s perks if faithfulness is asserted / we’ve learned this / the reward’s tested through burning / the gold silver and precious stones were accredited cause He earned it / we respond in faith to His word then His grace ensures we get the strength to endure when we’re working / we’re His workmanship / and He’s the Workman with a plan laid down in advance and we’re working it / not just smarter but harder / in service to the Father we worship / giving honor through verses / we holler -- his heirs live / through the excruciating labor of the Savior who takes away what the curse did /
