The Story of Love- John 3:16
The sacrifice was perfect. And it was for you.
COUNTERFEIT GODS AUDIO/LYRICSĀ
You might say, I donāt believe in God, but the bible says not possible,
Everyone has a God, whether or not itās the God of the gospel.
You might not believe in God, but everyone has that one thing thatās king,
Even the dictionary defines God as what āwhatever we make supremeā
Itās a theme, a thread, you see itās inside all human beings,
The fact we all worship, and no itās not just about singing.
I know some of you already like āJeff I donāt worship, I put that on the shelf,ā
But I say technically we all worship, we just worship ourselves.
We all worship something, and to an object weāre all liable,
Ladies, to some your boyfriend is your God, and Cosmo is your bible.
Yet, we mock and we laugh at the Israelites Golden Calf,
But we do the same thing right back; it just looks a little different than that.
So question, whatās on your throne?Ā
What do you chase so you donāt feel alone?
So what defines you, what do you give ultimate worth?
And what if taken would bring ultimate hurt?
Now see, that is your God
And all of us, we sacrifice deep joy for shallow happiness, to be honest we look like fools,
Weāre like full grown adults in the kiddie pool, going āoh man, this is so coolā
We are slaves to our possessions, we are always craving something new,
Reality check, if you canāt give it up, you donāt own it, it owns you.
Thatās why the bible, it says weāre all spiritual prostitutes, in fact it says weāre worse.
Because at least prostitutes get paid for their works,Ā
When all we get paid is a hearse.
Thatās why worship isnāt just behavior, it goes way into our core,
So ask yourself what is your God? What do you bow down before?
For example some of us donāt worship Jesus, we just worship what He said,
Got theology in your head, but in our heart, poor, pitiful, naked, and dead.
Some worship in stadiums, some worship in bars.
We worship our posessions, we worship our cars,
We worship science, or we worship the arts,
But see I donāt care what clothes your idolās wearing, the disease is the heart.
Or my favorite is those guys who say, āJeff, Iām a man, because Iām in control!ā
Okay then tell me why you cant stop having sex with your hand, while staring at your macbook pro
Then thereās those guys who trade their wives for their job at work
Where they give more time to their boss then their wiveās needs or hurts
And you ladies, no guy can love you more than jesus already has,
So stop getting your worth from Magic Mike, Jesus is so much better than that
I know youāre thinking, Ā āso jeff, are you saying we should hate money, hate drinking, and never have sex.ā
No, but Iām saying God created those all to be enjoyed, in their proper context.
But now I want to transition, and make a spiritual incision,
Can you really tell me these things are the ultimate purpose of living?
Instead of worshiping the Creator of you and I,
We say screw you God Iāll take your stuff, but you can die.
But that trade is terrible, trading God for man
Its like God offers us water, and we say ābut God, this is such good sand!ā
You say, āa God that requires me to give up something I just canāt fathom,ā
Yet most of us seem fine giving up everything for a quick orgasm?
You call me a wimp for running to God when times get hard,Ā
Yet you do the same, you just run to the bar.
I mean am I the only one thatās felt that gnawing within?
Am I the only one thatās felt the weight of my own sin?
But hereās whatās unique, so go ahead and critique,Ā
but if hear anything, hear this one thing I speak.
Where we exchanged ourselves for God, thinking we could be Him,
He exchanged himself for us, absorbing all our sin.
God litterally put on flesh, and do you see how we treated him?
The ultimate war veteran, because he was killed for our freedom.
Nonetheless He was thinking of you and me, with every whip that beat em,
Knowing full well weād say nah, I donāt really need him.Ā
But like a Father, he couldnāt bare his children to not be free
So he thought up that tree, paid our fee, for specs of dirt like you and me
So my plea is let Him restore His proper place,
I promise you He loves you right now. Just trust in His grace.
Because before I leave, Iāll leave you with this
What of those other things took nails in their wrists?
Or how about when was the last time money or sex forgave you?
Whens the last time your boyfriend set you free from all youāre enslaved to?
What else is there that died so you could be made new?
Or whenās the last time the world promised satisfaction, and actually came through?
Let us not be fooled by these temporary and fragile sources of happiness. Instead look onto God where true fulfilment is found. Ā
Never doubt the Lords ability to answer your prayers or meet your needs in any form. When you have a great big mountain in front of you bragging over its ability to stand in your way. Just laugh. Take a step back. And let God take full control. Is that mountain telling you how big it is? You simply tell that mountain how big your God is.
Have you even sat there and wondered where you would be without God.Ā
Thank you for saving me oh Lord.
Christ has set us free. Galatians 5:1Ā
Could it be simpler, God did not die for us to remain within these Shackles. We have been set free of our pain, guilt, and sins. Sometimes the only thing holding us back is our own mindset. I Pray the Lord will renew our minds so we are able to see what he sees in us. Ā
This verse is so comforting, it reminds me that the Lord is always there. Ā So willing to forgive us, so willing to embrace us into his loving arms despite where our sinful hearts have dragged us to.
