timothy brindle - the great exchange pt. 1 (or, double imputation) كلمات الأغنية

[intro]
the fact that our sinfulness is our biggest problem is true
mainly, because it’s a problem to god’s holy, righteous, perfect character
god demands perfection and he must punish sin
therefore, my deepest needs are a perfect righteousness that god will accept that i can’t work up
and on top of that, i need rescue from the fair punishment that my sin deserves
and i’m completely unable to provide either of these

[verse 1]
yo, yo
my two hugest problems can’t be solved by human logic
or by a clueless college student’s putrid knowledge, that’s foolish nonsense!
see, i am ruined, godless, and so are you, dude, if you are honest
so it’s a losing contest to compare yourself to god who’s true and flawless
problem one: god demands perfection because “the i am” detests sin
so without a perfect righteousness, no heaven, no eternal life and bliss
so why pretend, lie, and plot? god is righteous and i am not
his law shows i’m awful grimy, my unrighteousness disqualifies me
even as a christian, i’m mad deficient and i lack sufficient righteousness…problem two is: yo, there’s a price for this!
problem two: he must punish sin! behold: the just judge, avenged!
with perfect vengeance and our guilt deserves eternal sentence!
problem two: god is true, to his glory and his honor’s due
so god’s gotta prove that us hating him is not excused
the awful news: for all eternity, his wrath will fall on you
the awful news, what are us unrighteous, guilty sinners all to do?

[hook 1]
problem one – his law demands this: that we obey all commandments
problem two – his law demands this: that sinners be judged, so all are banished
problem one – his law demands this: that we obey all commandments
problem two – his law demands this: that sinners be judged, so all are banished
i need a righteousness, plus i need to appease his mighty fist
but my works are trash and flawed, plus i deserve the wrath of god!
yo, i need a righteousness, plus i need to appease his mighty fist
behold, god’s provision is jesus christ, who’s all-sufficient!

[verse 2]
my sin as a whole was a giant mount, none could try to count its size amount
but god counted all my pride and doubt on his son when he was crying out
“why have you forsaken me?” was that violent shout though not a lie in his mind or mouth
perfectly pure, inside and out, so god counts no sin to my account
‘cause he counted my sin to christ’s account! so now it’s only right to get hype and shout!
he suffered god’s holy jealousy, the equivalent of the whole of h-ll for me!
sin’s wage is death, so he paid the debt, so the father has no anger left
his wrath’s in silence, christ satisfied this, but there’s more to the master’s kindness
he doesn’t just let me live and erase my infinite debt that’s negative
he don’t just erase the sin in it, but he credits my account with infinite
righteousness…because of the perfect life that christ has lived
for 33 years before the awful tree, yo, he fulfilled the law for me!
so now god with delight receives us like we lived the perfect life of jesus
like we was all fulfilling the law, now we have the right to be called children of god
the grace of jesus is by the father, i’m now just as embraced as he is
you took all the worst of me and you give me your best like i lived perfectly

[hook 2]
this is the great exchange, all my sin placed on christ, who takes the blame
and makes the trade, his righteousness placed on me, i praise his name
this is the great exchange, all my sin placed on christ, who takes the blame
and makes the trade, his righteousness placed on me, his grace displayed
nothing’s greater: that christ the lord of glory fulfilled the law, performed it for me!
what a savior! that christ the lord of glory took all my sin and bore it for me!
abundant favor! christ the lord of glory spilled all his blood and poured it for me!
trust and savor! christ the lord of glory endured the wrath of god, absorbed it for me!
