Baptized
Baptized in Grace: A Resonance of Redemption and Faith
Lyrics
(Woah
Expression of awe or emphasis
We got Bynum on that beat, yeah, yeah
Credit to Zachary Bynum for the beat
We were baptized in His death and life)
Reference to baptism in both death and life
We've been baptized into His death and life
Being immersed in the death and life of Christ through baptism
Baptized into his resurrection
Being baptized into the resurrection of Christ
Jesus as my source and strength
Dependence on Jesus as the source of strength
I call on the Father, yeah, He's my protection
Calling on God the Father for protection
Reading the Word day and night
Consistent reading of the Bible day and night
Convicted inside, He give me correction
Feeling convicted inside and receiving correction from God
For a righteous man, yeah, one could die
Recognition that a righteous person might die
But He died for sinners, He showed His affection
Emphasis on Jesus' death for sinners and His affection
Yeah, yeah, Jesus, the King of Kings
Acknowledgment of Jesus as the King of Kings
Already in office, He don't need election
Emphasizing Jesus' position, not subject to election
Living in comfort, not talking bout Lexus
Living in comfort, not material wealth
He's the lone Star, not talking 'bout Texas
Metaphorical reference to Jesus as the lone Star, not Texas
Started in darkness, now in the light
Moving from darkness to light through faith in Jesus
Had a bad heart, I was cryin at night
Personal experience of transformation from a troubled past
He was hearing my pleas, yeah He changed my life
God hearing pleas and bringing positive change
Now I'm justified, yeah, God made me right
Feeling justified and made right by God
God made me right, yeah
Repetition emphasizing being made right by God
God made me right, yeah (God, He made me right)
-Justified, yeah I walk by faith and not by sight
Walking by faith and not by sight due to justification
God made me right, yeah
Reiteration of being made right and sanctified by God
God made me right, yeah (God made me right)
