Buy sheep … buy cattle
Buy sheep … buy cattle
Buy sheep (buy doves) … and cattle (buy doves)
Buy sheep (buy doves) … and cattle (buy doves)
I can change your money … your money … your money
I can change your money … your money … your money
I can change your money … your money … your money
I can change your money … your money … your money
He came into the temple to be in his Father’s place
He went to be renewed and strengthened by this source of love and grace
But what He found astounded Him and made his anger start to rage
Against the greed and sacrilege that filled God’s temple with a stench!
Show me a sign … to prove what you say!
He said, “Tear this temple down and I will raise it in three days.”
Tear this temple down and I will raise it in three days.”
Show me a sign … to prove what you say!
He said, “Tear this temple down and I will raise it in three days.”
Everybody listened but they didn’t really hear
The meaning of His words, the miracle, that love would conquer fear
And that death would be defeated by God’s mercy and compassion
Through Jesus Christ, His life and death, and His resurrection!
Get high … tell lies
Get high … tell lies
Get high (get even) … tell lies (love money)
Get high (get even) … tell lies (love money)
You can cheat on taxes … in business … in marriage
You can cheat on taxes … in business … in marriage
You can cheat on taxes … in business … in marriage
Your heart is the temple where the Son of God resides
And He has paid the price for all your sins so don’t believe the lies
Of those who’d set you up to sell you out with fear and lust and anger
They’re the same today as they were then; they’re thieves—the money changers!
He died on the cross … and rose from the grave
Jesus paid the price. He is the life, the truth, the way!
Jesus paid the price. He is the life, the truth, the way!
He died on the cross … and rose from the grave
Jesus paid the price
He is the life…
The truth…
The way! |
