(Get with Christ ... walk in faith)
(You and me need ... His grace!)
Livin' by the law, babe, you're gonna get it wrong
Livin' by the law will make you dead and gone
Look at God's commands in Leviticus and
Then in Deuteronomy you'll see it man
Actually you'll have to read in chapter three tonight
Of Galatians verses 19 through 25
Small crimes, any crime puts you in deep
Christ is the Savior, sayin' look at Me (Yeah! Yeah! C'mon!)
Take your Bible – Shake it off
Everybody – breaks the law
Learn some Deuteronomy – can you name those laws
Learn from Deuteronomy – c'mon try because
Learn your Deuteronomy – you ain't good enough
God's Law – is tricky to keep – born again you must be, yeah
(Listen!) Read* the Bible, yeah we're liable, Jesus died though
Grace is livin' Romans 7:1 and 4
There have been 613 written Bible laws
We ain't exaggeratin' the Jews said so (the Jews said so)
You gotta read Leviticus 18 and read a little more
Deuteron'my 27, Habakkuk 2:4
Small crimes, any crime puts you in deep
Read it in James 2:10 I'm sure you'll see
(Yeah! Yeah! Read a little more!)
CHORUS
You come to Jesus – Christ’s got the key
Jesus says – come to me
Cause God's law (law) is so hard – it's tricky to keep
Born again (yeah) amen – you must be
(Cause you're just a sinner)
(Want some more proof?)
CHORUS
(NOTE: 613 laws from the Old Testament are catalogued in the Jewish Talmud)
