APOLOGETIX - I Have To Die First lyrics

rate me

Risin' up that's what He said

It's my time let's commence this

In 3 days I will be back from the dead

There's a plan to fulfill in the line

So many times He talked in the past

About His passion and His glory

Just like the grain used for weed has to die

It must die so the wheat can arise

He said

I have to die first to fulfull all the signs

Risin' up through the power of my Father

At last when the hour has come you'll know I was right

And I warned you before this day I'd

Have to die first

Facing death in Gethsemane

Sweatin' blood feelin' lonely

He prayed to God, "You can take this from me

If you will", but He still had to die

He said

I have to die first in this terrible fight

Risin' up through the power of my father

And the last lonely hours I've been prayin' tonight

And I want you to know this day I'd

Have to die first

Risin' up hate-filled mob

Took our Lord up to Calvary

Read His sentence and was nailed to the cross

But the man that they killed is alive

He said

I have to die first it's a strange way to fight

Risin' up through the power of my father

And the last (?) risin' put the devil to flight

And I warned you before this day I'd

Have to die first

But I have to die first (x 6)
