Slain

If you don't seek justice, you probably don't know peace

At least the kind of peace that Jesus brings us on account of belief

I don't know if you've noticed but there's a direct corellation

Between your profession of faith and your expressions of grace to the hopeless

Yeah, it's true that all men are broken, but to only help the healthy

Would make us miss the open wounds that matter the most in those moments

The deconstruction of dignity buried deep in the heart of assumptions

Where selective justice is just another name for social corruption

A system is flawed when just cause is "just because"

But even a man at odds with the law is made in the image of God

It's admitted that none of us are innocent all of us complicit

But to solicit the silence of injustice doesn't just dismiss it

And just in case you forgot, Christ will come at just the right time

A divine King bringing perfect justice to judge all of mankind

The only difference between us I'll stay seated at Jesus' feet

And rest between the span of His hands where justice and mercy meet

There's a virus in my iris

I was blinded, close my eyelids

See my Savior laying down his righteous life

And saying "I forgive"

And saying "I forgive"

And saying "I forgive"

Virus in my iris

Virus in my iris

Virus in my iris

Deep down I know my eyes are sick

The wrath of God is coming, can you hear the warning?

Joy comes in the morning, but now is a time of mourning

When all I'm seeing lately is a nation going crazy

Looking bad, needs some hope like the words maybe

If or probably, but if I'm honest in light of all these problems

If my hope is only probable, how long 'til it dissolves?

I don't have the capacity to see these problems solved

I take comfort knowing that my God is still involved

That's my certainty when the road I'm on is serpentine

And I'm threatened by the serpent's sting, the evil one is prowling

Looking to devour, but no one can usurp the King

Lord, have mercy while we're waiting for the final hour

This is my Father's world, it's also a fallen one

The domino effect has infected the whole set-up

I'm not afraid to talk about social injustices

Let's also talk about the throne where perfect justice is

It sounds insensitive and some will hate the stench of it

But the church is not faithful if we fail to mention it

We worship a God who can speak to the world's pain

Because salvation for us came through the Lamb who was slain

There's a virus in my iris

I was blinded, close my eyelids

See my Savior laying down his righteous life

And saying "I forgive"

And saying "I forgive"

And saying "I forgive"

Virus in my iris

Virus in my iris

Virus in my iris

Deep down I know my eyes are sick
