[INTRO]

Check the limit.

Check the line.

Check the vector.

Check the time.

If Christ ain’t in the equation,

the graph declines.

[VERSE 1]

Check the limit as the breath runs thin,
time tends death when you factor sin.
Man moves fast with a chest full pride,
but the final x is the day you die.

Life ain’t linear, curve gets steep,
one phone call and the strong man weak.
Plans get plotted on a whiteboard neat,
then the grave says, “Come,” and deletes that sheet.

Vector direction, not just speed,
whole world moving but away from need.
Fast lane, bad aim, wrong destination,
progress without repentance is condemnation.

Estate lights glow in the rainy night,
young kings chasing what cannot give life.
Money looks solid, status looks real,
but the soul still starves on a luxury meal.

You can stack that bread, still lack that breath,
you can flex that watch, still get checked by death.
If the soul stays lost when the body drops,
then the whole equation just flops.

[HOOK]

Check the limit, check the line,
Christ stepped in and redeemed time.
World can’t save, world can’t raise,
only Jesus breaks that grave.

Sin debt high, grace came greater,
Lamb paid all, no calculator.
Cross stood firm when the graph declined,
King rose up with the keys in His hand.

[VERSE 2]

Probability says your days ain’t owed,
no guarantee on tomorrow’s road.
You talk five years, God says tonight,
rich fool learned that the sum weren’t right.

Entropy eats every flex you own,
rust on rims and cracks in stone.
Phone gets old, fit gets worn,
flesh gets weak from the day it’s born.

Derivative of desire shows rate,
want grows quick when the eye takes bait.
Feed keeps feeding, lust keeps breeding,
Vanity Fair keeps the heart misleading.

Integral of sin over years gone by,
area under curve where the secrets lie.
Every thought, every word, every hidden flame,
books get opened and God calls name.

Good deeds can’t cancel what the law has weighed,
no self-made robe for the debt unpaid.
You don’t need clout when the trumpet sounds,
you need clean blood when the Judge comes down.

[HOOK]

Check the limit, check the line,
Christ stepped in and redeemed time.
World can’t save, world can’t raise,
only Jesus breaks that grave.

Sin debt high, grace came greater,
Lamb paid all, no calculator.
Cross stood firm when the graph declined,
King rose up with the keys in His hand.

[BRIDGE]

Bad maths says:

More stuff, more life.

God’s wisdom says:

Lose your life for Christ.

Bad maths says:

Hide your sin.

The Gospel says:

Bring it to the Light.

[VERSE 3]

Jesus came in the time-space frame,
I AM walking with a human Name.
He healed sick bodies, opened eyes,
showed the grave had met its Prize.

He raised dead men so the streets would know,
death ain’t king when the Life says go.
But the deeper root was the sin in man,
so the Cross was always the rescue plan.

At Calvary Hill, all debts were shown,
all our guilt on the Christ alone.
Nails in hands, blood ran wide,
justice and mercy side by side.

He took the curse that the law made clear,
bore the wrath that the proud should fear.
They laid Him down and the night looked sealed,
third day came and the King was revealed.

Now the risen Christ rewrites the end,
not fake hope, not pretend.
He gives new birth and a clean inside,
dead souls raised and the old self died.

So repent while the breath still stays,
leave bad maths and the world’s false ways.
Christ is Lord over death and time,
the only answer when the graphs decline.

[FINAL HOOK]

Check the limit, check the line,
Christ stepped in and redeemed time.
World can’t save, world can’t raise,
only Jesus breaks that grave.

Sin debt high, grace came greater,
Lamb paid all, no calculator.
Cross stood firm when the graph declined,
King rose up with the keys in His hand.

[OUTRO]

Limit reached.

Debt paid.

Stone moved.

Christ raised.

Bad maths ends.

Grace remains.

Jesus is Lord.
