Jesus Over Isis
Dear ISIS, I mean no harm when I write this
You've probably never met a Jesus lover like this
I remember two years ago when the death threats came pouring in
I wrote Jesus 'til I die produced to depress sin
I had no idea the hot water I'd find myself in
And radicals said they'll get me now just like they said they'd get me then
Just boys behind keyboards, I know I'm not threatened by men
Your threats and your hate don't bother me
But what does is your murders, your torture, your sodomy
Demon-possessed is what you gotta be
If I could get you in the ring for 10 minutes I'd feel like I'd hit the lottery
I'd hit you so hard you'd break like your cheap bowls of pottery
I love my enemies just like Peter loved the sword
He cut off an ear in the presence of the Lord
And I'd be tempted to do so much more
Those are my brothers and sisters in Christ that you keep killing
The mass graves of slaughters just keep filling
And you say God told you to do it
You had one shot at this life and you blew it
You bought into a cheap religion that puts down women and celebrates death
And you think you're waking up to 70 virgins after your last breath
You're a mess
And when the Lake of Fire consumes you, there will be nothing left
From 9/11 to the bombing in Boston, God please tell me these actions will cost them
From Paris, France to the Orlando murders
You do everything you can to hurt us
But you can't break us, and you can't be us
And for us believers it's Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Because unlike your prophet, our King is alive
You'll meet Him as your judge the day that you die
There's no paradise with Muhammad awaiting you
The Quran is the last thing saving you
There is a certificate of death with your name at the bottom
God's fire will rain down on you just like He did on the city of Sodom
You hang children and cut off their hands
I've seen videos of beheadings on sand
I've seen you torture gay people and straight women, too
Straight to Hell is where God is sending you to
And there will be no Jihad when you're thrown into the pits of Hell
Demonic men thrown to other demons, it fits you well
You're hearing this from an all-American white boy who loves Jesus
You're never gonna kill us, and you're never gonna lead us
You keep killing the innocent, and God sees how you treat us
You're gonna wish you hadn't, believe us
There's coming a day when every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord
I suggest you pick up the Bible and put down the sword
What do you even have that's worth fighting for?
Muhammad was a pedophile, your lord is a whore
If that's offensive, maybe I should just say it some more and some more
When you trash Jesus, we don't strap bombs to our chests and blow up your stores
So don't lecture us on religion when you use yours to spark wars
This isn't a speech I'm presenting you
I can't help but wake up resenting you
This is a warning shot, not to be taken lightly
Jesus is coming back, it's not a maybe or He might be
Some of you threaten my family online but won't show up to fight me
And I'm supposed to pray for those who persecute me, and believe me, I do
I pray there's nothing left when God gets through with you
And I know Jesus can save you, too
Repent of your sins, man, I hope that you do
But this weak Christianity that lets radicals walk all over us is pathetic
I was 27 the first time I said it
And thank God my voice stiffened the spines of other weak men
Some people thought calling out Muhammad was some kind of sin
My God, people's skin can be so thin
And Christians in America are so comfortable that they're blind
Everything is good over here, so it must be fine
While our brothers and sisters overseas are slaughtered for their faith
Jesus come back, it must be time
I've traveled the world, and I've seen life outside of this American bubble
And I could care less if this poetry gets me into trouble
What can the world do to me when God is with me?
I know in reality only a handful of people would miss me
But I've been called to be a voice for the voiceless and a warrior for Zion
You can't stop God's church, and you can't tame this lion
So to those who threaten me and those who tried
It's still Jesus, Jesus, Jesus 'til the day I die
