LYRICS: The Voice - "Thou Art The Christ"
[Intro/Hook] - (Matthew 16: 15-16 KJV)
He saith unto them, but whom say ye that I am?
And Simon Peter answered and said, "Thou art the Christ [x3],
Son of the living God."
Thou art the Christ [x15] Son of the living God.
For all y'all with ears to hear, listen up
Voice!
[Verse 1] - The Voice:
Now you wanna shine on the corner saying God hate yays
And expect they gonna step in the church and get saved
Or better yet how we believe in real Christians
Rock hate propaganda on picket signs and wrist bands
It leave a taste in my mouth like rotten fruit
Cause the Jesus of the Bible ate dinner with the prostitutes
Folks say you need to crush your religion
They only using His Name when they be cursing or stressing
Man, I confess it, homeboy, I've done the same
They say it's an expression, others say it's used in vain
But if it is, yeah we need it like an IV
30 C Cs of the Truth will make the blind see
The picture blurry? Let me clear it up like Visine
I'm hear to shine light in the dark, my flows is high beams
It all depends on what ya calling Him, fam
Was Christ just a good teacher? Was He God or a man?
[Hook]
Thou art the Christ [x5]
Yo, you gotta call Him something, but you can't call Him nothing.
Thou art the Christ [x7] Son of the living God. Christ.
[Verse 2] - The Voice:
He gotta be the most misunderstood, most misquoted,
Fox News commentated, right-wing voted,
Blonde hair, blue eyed, mis illustrated,
And every artistic depiction has been created
Misrepresented by many who claim His Name
Rejected by religious folk for going against the grain
One call Him a prophet, other call Him a Savior
But some call Him Savior just to profit off of paper
Some say political or holy man
Some say He was God, others only man
Well, one say He perfect, others say He's a sinner
They claim He sat down with common to eat dinner
Now what kind of spiritual leader would do that?
I guess the type to meet ppl right where they at, man
It all depends on what ya calling Him, fam
Was Christ just a good teacher? Was He God or a man?
[Hook]
Thou art the Christ [x5]
Yo, you gotta call Him something, but you can't call Him nothing.
Thou art the Christ [x7] Son of the living God. Christ.
[Verse 3] - The Voice
Okay, man, a thousand years before the birth of Christ
Ancient prophecies recorded details of His life
Let's start first with His family tree
See, it was prophesied there in Jeremiah 23
That He'd be a descendant of king David
Bloodline matches, y'all can check it, He made it
Moving right along there to Psalm 22
The Bible says His hands and His feet get pierced through
The next prophesy was recorded by Zachariah
About the blood money given for the life of the Messiah
30 silver coins, the exact amount
It's written 500 years before He got sold out
Now I could keep going, but I'm pressed for time
I couldn't fit 300 other prophesies in my rhymes
See, secondly, historians have verified His life
And one living there in His time spoke high of the Christ
His name was Josephus, he validated Jesus
His life, death, resurrection, miracles and teachings
But what compels me more to believe is
The fact that His disciples got along in the streets
See, I truly doubt if what they preached was a lie
That everyone except Judas be willing to die
If 500 eye witnesses said he saw Him risen
It only takes one though to send your butt to prison
So, if Christ is who He says He is, and He rose up out of the grave
Then you and I really need to call the man who He truly is
the only Name by which men are saved.
Let's shout it out now ;)
[Outro/Hook]
THOU ART THE CHRIST [x15] SON OF THE LIVING GOD. CHRIST.
