Song Lyrics

"The Whipping Post"

by Vengeance Rising
Album: Once Dead

Praetorian, a garrison, Barabbas,
Dreams of horror, tumult, crucifix,
Mockery, it will end, accusations,
Guess who's the father of it.

Some people think he was weak, so he died,
He was bad, no one touched him unless he let them,
Like dominos, they all fell, they will fall,
He accomplished what he set out to,
Warrior prince, defeating all.

Tied to the whipping post for what he had not done,
Substitutionary sacrifice - we're covered in the blood,
Check it out, Noah's ark was covered with the pitch that kept it from sinking,
Sin is sinking people every day,
Propitiation, expiatory blood atones for that which you commit and what you do not know.

You may think "I'm driving 55, so what's the big deal, dude'"
But you are in the 35 - guilty, me and you.

All have sinned, that's just the way it is,
We are saved through conversion, based upon what he did.

At this time of conversion.

Conversion is the point where your total trust in Christ for salvation, but it imparts a new life,
You do not get cleaned up to take a bath, like receiving Christ,
You'd better do it while you can.

Regeneration, that which happens to the true,
Born again believers, inner conflict.

Imputation, given righteousness of Christ,
Hamartia, the price is paid.

Redemption that encompasses the whole,
Be diligent to understand, speak it and be bold.

Pilates wife, knew the gig and she freaked out, man,
Barabbas understood substitution,
And Simon Peter, a disciple in denial,
And Roman soldiers, long since dead - time's got the upper hand.

Blasphemy, hypocrites,
A king and robbers, Golgotha,
"Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani'" - a quote of David, in praise to God,
Veil torn, graves open,
This is the son of God.
