ApologetiX - I Have To Die First Lyrics
Risin' up that's what He saidIt's my time let's commence thisIn 3 days I will be back from the deadThere's a plan to fulfill in the lineSo many times He talked in the pastAbout His passion and His gloryJust like the grain used for weed has to dieIt must die so the wheat can ariseHe saidI have to die first to fulfull all the signsRisin' up through the power of my FatherAt last when the hour has come you'll know I was rightAnd I warned you before this day I'dHave to die firstFacing death in GethsemaneSweatin' blood feelin' lonelyHe prayed to God, "You can take this from meIf you will", but He still had to dieHe saidI have to die first in this terrible fightRisin' up through the power of my fatherAnd the last lonely hours I've been prayin' tonightAnd I want you to know this day I'dHave to die firstRisin' up hate-filled mobTook our Lord up to CalvaryRead His sentence and was nailed to the crossBut the man that they killed is aliveHe saidI have to die first it's a strange way to fightRisin' up through the power of my fatherAnd the last I will risin' put the devil to flightAnd I warned you before this day I'dHave to die firstBut I have to die first (x 6)
