Mission Accomplished Lyrics

Shai Linne Mission Accomplished

Verse 1

Here's a controversial subject that tends to divide For years it's had Christians lining up on both sides By God's grace, I'll address this without pride The question concerns those for whom Christ died Was He trying to save everybody worldwide? Was He trying to make the entire world His Bride? Does man's unbelief keep the Savior's hands tied? Biblically, each of these must be denied It's true, Jesus gave up His life for His Bride But His Bride is the elect, to whom His death is applied If on judgment day, you see that you can't hide And because of your sin, God's wrath on you abides And hell is the place you eternally reside That means your wrath from God hasn't been satisfied But we believe His mission was accomplished when He died But how the cross relates to those in hell? Well, they be saying:

Lord knows He tried (8x)

Verse 2

Father, Son and Spirit: three and yet one Working as a unit to get things done Our salvation began in eternity past God certainly has to bring all His purpose to pass A triune, eternal bond no one could ever sever When it comes to the church, peep how they work together The Father foreknew first, the Son came to earth To die- the Holy Spirit gives the new birth The Father elects them, the Son pays their debt and protects them The Spirit is the One who resurrects them The Father chooses them, the Son gets bruised for them The Spirit renews them and produces fruit in them Everybody's not elect, the Father decides And it's only the elect in whom the Spirit resides The Father and the Spirit- completely unified But when it comes to Christ and those in hell? Well, they be saying:

Lord knows He tried (8x)

Verse 3

My third and final verse- here's the situation Just a couple more things for your consideration If saving everybody was why Christ came in history With so many in hell, we'd have to say He failed miserably So many think He only came to make it possible Let's follow this solution to a conclusion that's logical What about those who were already in the grave? The Old Testament wicked- condemned as depraved Did He die for them? C'mon, behave But worst of all, you're saying the cross by itself doesn't save That we must do something to give the cross its power That means, at the end of the day, the glory's ours That man-centered thinking is not recommended The cross will save all for whom it was intended Because for the elect, God's wrath was satisfied But still, when it comes to those in hell Well, they be saying:

Lord knows He tried (8x)
