Song Lyrics

"Bankruptcy Dept"

by Evangel
Album: Elation Foundation

Lord, I'm so shook at Your presence/
I beat my chest and can't look to the heavens/
Why' I'm unworthy, but Lord please deliver/
I quiver, have mercy on me, a sinner/
Got me shaking uncontrollably like a stun gun/
You're so holy, we owe a fee we try to run from/
Being righteous, that's deep/
My life is too cheap, the price is too steep, woe is me, for I am
undone/
You said you will receive a sentence/
But joy comes through repentance, Jesus Christ is the entrance/
He was slain to bring a change that was radical/
Christ' perfect reputation put up as collateral/
Clients, it don't matter if you came on the same date/
Cause your data won't change the exchange rate/
Poor in spirit, doesn't rise from the natural/
It's the Lord who gives it and supplies our capital/

-Welcome to the bankruptcy department/
The Lamb runs deep in pockets, and bleeds a bargain/
This is the bankruptcy department/
We can't afford this debt/
The law brings death/
But He'll strike a deal in
The bankruptcy department/
This is the bankruptcy department/

Poverty stricken, exactly/
Because of God I'm forgiven, look at me, I'm happy/
Lord You're so generous, perfect's the requisite/
The fall from Genesis, gave birth to our deficit/
We're all sin related, which is indicated/
By the first men created, why we won't be vindicated/
Got thrown out the garden, and told us the market/
Price, for profit, is to be holy and stop it/
I thought I had cash, that's a whole other topic/
No hoarding up a stash, there's a hole in my pocket/
Earning hell is what I could bring/
I would fail, be expelled cause in my flesh dwells no good thing/
Can't achieve that, it's heavy we can't relax/
it says that we'll be taxed for every single relapse/
But Christ would heal and cover sin's pollution/
Do not strike a deal with another institution/

-Welcome to the bankruptcy department/
The Lamb runs deep in pockets, and bleeds a bargain/
This is the bankruptcy department/
We can't afford this debt/
The law brings death/
But He'll strike a deal in
The bankruptcy department/
This is the bankruptcy department/

We accept, that you exist/
As we access, the planets on it's axis/
We want to subtract, we act like we're dumb with that/
The fact is we can't hide the fact that you are coming back/
To collect our sin qualified fee/
No discounts, even with a college ID/
David in the Psalms we can read it like the walls with graffiti/
And saw indeed he was poor and needy/
Was he hysterical, the wealthy king of Israel/
Or proving that it's not material but it's spiritual/
Your judgment is coming around like it's spherical/
But thanks to Christ your grace abounds it's a miracle/
I'm a pauper that once was a scoffer/ that comes to the altar with
nothing to offer/
No shining his wealth like a high roller/
No relying on self one iota/
But being powered by the son like solar/
Counting everything else as dung is my quota/
Assessing a fee that none can afford/
But blessed is he who trusts in the Lord/

-Welcome to the bankruptcy department/
The Lamb runs deep in pockets, and bleeds a bargain/
This is the bankruptcy department/
We can't afford this debt/
The law brings death/
But He'll strike a deal in
The bankruptcy department/
This is the bankruptcy department/
