ROOT CAUSE

ROOT CAUSE
THE NAZARENE

[INTRO]

Root cause.
Sin opened the door.
Death came walking.
Christ came bleeding to shut that door.

[HOOK]

Root cause, root cause,
sin opened the door.
Death came walking,
now the whole world mourns.

Chivi chakapinda,
rufu rukauya.
Jesu akauya,
nyasha dzakazaruka.

Root cause, root cause,
don’t treat leaves only.
Jesu saves the soul
from the grave beneath.

[VERSE 1]

Romans says through one man
sin entered the world.
Through sin came death,
now death touches all.

Every funeral has an echo
from a garden far away.
Every hospital corridor
hears Eden in the pain.

We cry at the coffin,
but the coffin has a source.
We fear the diagnosis,
but death rides sin’s horse.

People say fix money,
then the world will heal.
But rich men still die,
and guilt stays real.

People say fix power,
then we’ll finally be free.
But new kings become old chains
when sin owns the seat.

So fight injustice,
feed people, heal pain.
But if sin is untouched,
death still remains.

[HOOK]

Root cause, root cause,
sin opened the door.
Death came walking,
now the whole world mourns.

Chivi chakapinda,
rufu rukauya.
Jesu akauya,
nyasha dzakazaruka.

Root cause, root cause,
don’t treat leaves only.
Jesu saves the soul
from the grave beneath.

[VERSE 2]

James says desire conceives,
then sin is born.
Sin grows up strong,
then death gets formed.

Small lie, big chain.
Small pride, deep grave.
Small lust, dark cave.
Small greed, soul enslaved.

The world gives painkillers
while poison stays inside.
It gives motivational speeches
to people still spiritually blind.

If Jesus only taught morals,
death would still hold keys.
If Jesus only gave wisdom,
hell would still have teeth.

So He came as more than Teacher.
He came as Lamb and Priest.
He came to kill death
and make captives released.

[BRIDGE]

Akatora minzwa,
curse on His head.
Akatora Cross,
where sinners should have bled.

He became sin offering,
not sinner, but substitute.
Justice met mercy
at the cursed tree root.

Akafa paMuchinjikwa.
Ropa rakayerera.
Akavigwa muguva.
Dombo rakavharwa.

Third day morning,
muviri wakamuka.
Death lost the warrant,
Hadhesi yakanyarara.

[CALL AND RESPONSE]

Ndiani akatakura chivi?
Jesu Kristu!

Ndiani akafa paMuchinjikwa?
Jesu Kristu!

Ndiani akamuka mumuviri?
Jesu Kristu!

Ndiani ane makiyi?

Ndiani anoponesa?
Jesu Kristu!

[FINAL HOOK]

Root cause, root cause,
sin opened the door.
Death came walking,
now the whole world mourns.

Chivi chakapinda,
rufu rukauya.
Jesu akauya,
nyasha dzakazaruka.

Tendeuka.
Tenda.
Gamuchira Jesu Kristu.
