THE HOLY ONE ENTERS THE CITY

THE HOLY ONE ENTERS THE CITY

[INTRO — RAP]

Isaiah saw the Lord / smoke filled the house with awe [6/6]
Seraphs cried holy thrice / doorposts shook under praise [6/6]
Coal touched lips marked unclean / then came the charge to preach [6/6]
Who will go speak this word / here am I send me Lord [6/6]

[VERSE]

Judah kept feast and fast / blood stained hands rose in prayer [6/6]
God would not hear their songs / nor smell the smoke in air [6/6]
Widows stood at the gate / orphans got pushed from care [6/6]
Wash, seek justice for them / learn how to judge with care [6/6]

Lords joined house unto house / fields ate fields without end [6/6]
Poor lost roofs to the rich / walls made the stranger bend [6/6]
Large homes rose on seized ground / God swore those homes would end [6/6]
Rent drains wages again / new apps make old theft trend [6/6]

Scribes wrote grief into law / widows became their prey [6/6]
Courts cleared guilt for a bribe / truth got priced by the day [6/6]
Poor lost rights in the scroll / judges looked far away [6/6]
Now forms deny each claim / code makes the same cold play [6/6]

Strong men drank through the dawn / wine made the judges proud [6/6]
They called the darkness light / lies drew cheers from the crowd [6/6]
Bribes made the wicked clean / truth got dragged from the crowd [6/6]
Now spin rooms bleach the crime / feeds make the slogan loud [6/6]

Church lights blaze through the night / blood stains hands raised in praise [6/6]
Stage smoke hides unpaid staff / brands make idols from names [6/6]
Priests bless seats of power / victims get pushed from frame [6/6]
Holy One sees the wound / flames will test every name [6/6]

Ships bear bombs through the sea / stocks rise when children bleed [6/6]
Kings sell weapons as peace / graves show what warlords need [6/6]
Steel gets blessed at the church / flags turn the Cross to creed [6/6]
God sees blood in the street / woe to the hands that feed [6/6]

Phones hide hands in the mine / clean brands scrub blood from screens [6/6]
Kids sort stones for the rich / boards call margins pristine [6/6]
Food lines face glass towers / wealth calls hunger unseen [6/6]
God sees kids in the mine / judgement will split the scene [6/6]

Day of the Lord draws near / proud eyes fall to the ground [6/6]
High towers all bow down / ships lose boast in the sound [6/6]
Idols fall to the moles / men seek caves underground [6/6]
Lord stands alone that day / every false crown comes down [6/6]

Skyscrapers pierce the clouds / markets brag they won’t fall [6/6]
Server farms hum like gods / data maps every call [6/6]
Missiles sleep under seas / kings trust the shield and wall [6/6]
Day strips code from the crown / Christ makes the systems crawl [6/6]

Earth reels hard like the drunk / guilt makes the whole world sway [6/6]
Sun turns dark at His rise / moon hides its face that day [6/6]
Hosts above lose their rank / kings get locked in the pit [6/6]
God reigns high on Zion / every throne bows to Him [6/6]

Some debate when He comes / charts split the church in three [6/6]
Pre, mid, post name the stage / none make the grave release [6/6]
Christ may break through tonight / or death may call you first [6/6]
Either way, meet the King / grace ends or wrath begins [6/6]

One hundred years from now / few here will draw a breath [6/6]
Most will have crossed the veil / each met the King through death [6/6]
No chart can move that date / no creed can bribe the grave [6/6]
Day of the Lord is near / run to the One who saves [6/6]

Isaiah saw the Child / Son bore rule on His arm [6/6]
Servant was pierced for sin / wounds brought peace through His harm [6/6]
Like lamb led out to die / He shared a grave with rich [6/6]
Cut off, yet days grew long / death could not cancel Him [6/6]

Christ rose up from the grave / death lost its boast and claim [6/6]
Christ comes crowned in the clouds / wrath crowns justice in flame [6/6]
All eyes see Christ return / kings call rocks for their shade [6/6]
Saints lift heads at His voice / death gets swallowed that day [6/6]

Wash while scarlet turns white / come, let us reason now [6/6]
Leave blood, bribes, lies and pride / learn how to serve the weak [6/6]
Trust in the Servant’s blood / bow to the risen King [6/6]
Holy One enters soon / hear what Isaiah sings [6/6]

[OUTRO — PRAYER]

Strip pride out from my heart / wash bloodstains from my hands [6/6]
Teach me to guard the poor / break the false gods I serve [6/6]
Keep my lamp lit for Christ / eyes fixed firm on His face [6/6]
Come, Holy One, as King / death ends and Zion sings [6/6]
