Timothy Brindle
The Great Exchange Pt. 1 (or, Double Imputation)
[Intro]
The fact that our sinfulness is our biggest problem is true / mainly because it's a problem to God's holy / righteous / perfect character / God demands perfection / and He must punish sin / therefore my deepest needs / are a perfect righteousness that God will accept / that I can't work up / and on top of that / I need rescue from the fair punishment / that my sin deserves / and I'm completely unable to provide either of these /

[Verse 1]
My two hugest problems / can’t be solved by human logic / or by a clueless college student’s putrid knowledge / that’s foolish nonsense / see I am ruined / godless / and so are you dude if you are honest / so it’s a losing contest / to compare yourself to God who’s true and flawless / (problem one) God demands perfection / because the I AM detests sin / so without a perfect righteousness / no heaven / no eternal life and bliss / so why pretend? / lie and plot / God is righteous and I am not / His Law shows I’m awful / grimey / my unrighteousness disqualifies me / even as a Christian / I’m mad deficient / and I lack sufficient righteousness / problem two is / yo there’s a price for this / (problem two) He must punish sin / behold the just Judge avenged / with perfect vengeance / and our guilt deserves eternal sentence / (problem two) God is true / to His glory and His honor’s due / so God’s gotta prove / that us hating Him is not excused / (the awful news) for all eternity His wrath will fall on you / (the awful news) what are us unrighteous / guilty sinners all to do? /

[Hook 1]
(Problem one) His Law demands this / that we obey all commandments / (problem two) His Law demands this / that sinners be judged so all are banished / (X2)
I need a righteousness / plus I need to appease His mighty fist / but my works are trash and flawed / plus I deserve the wrath of God / yo I need a righteousness / plus I need to appease His mighty fist / behold God’s provision / is Jesus Christ who’s all-sufficient /

[Verse 2]
My sin as a whole was a giant mount / none could try to count its size amount / but God counted all my pride and doubt / on His Son when He was crying out / (WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME) was that violent shout / though not a lie in His mind or mouth / perfectly pure / inside and out / so God counts no sin to my account / cause He counted my sin to Christ’s account / so now it’s only right to get hype and shout / He suffered God’s holy jealousy / the equivalent of the whole of hell for me / sin’s wage is death so He paid the debt / so the Father has no anger left / His wrath’s in silence / Christ satisfied this / but there’s more to the Master’s kindness / He doesn’t just let me live / and erase my infinite debt that’s negative / He don’t just erase the sin in it but He credits my account with infinite / righteousness / because of the perfect life that Christ has lived / for 33 years before the awful tree / yo He fulfilled the Law for me / so now God with delight receives us / like we lived the perfect life of Jesus / like we was all fulfilling the Law / now we have the right to be called children of God / the grace of Jesus / is by the Father I’m now just as embraced as He is / You took all the worst of me and You give me Your best like I lived perfectly /

[Hook 2]
This is the Great Exchange / all my sin placed on Christ who takes the blame and makes the trade / His righteousness placed on me / I praise His name / this is the Great Exchange / all my sin placed on Christ who takes the blame and makes the trade / His righteousness placed on me / His grace displayed / (nothing’s greater) that Christ the Lord of glory fulfilled the Law / performed it for me / (what a Savior) that Christ the Lord of glory took all my sin and bore it for me / (abundant favor) Christ the Lord of glory spilled all His blood and poured it for me / (trust and savor) Christ the Lord of glory endured the wrath of God / absorbed it for me /

It's by faith that we're justified / and that's faith in the Son of God /
