[Introduction]

We're The Cross Movement, which is an alliance of (uh)

Born again believers in Jesus Christ

That are trusting God by His grace to become

Agents through whom He's gonna advertise salvation

And also communicate His purpose for all of humanity



[Chorus]

It's the thrilla' in Manilla

Jesus Christ versus every man's killa'

Sin and death's got the whole world getting' illa'

But I praise God for the Blood Spilla!

[x2]



[Verse 1]

I step back to take a chill pill

Just to let the thrills build

Back up and now I have to say that I still feel

Goo-goo about the one the crew brings to you

Died to woo you and bring you back like part two—ooh!

You know His name is the same, it's Jesus

Every knee will bow demon, man, woman, child—oww!

Who is it that brings the blizzard, tames the lizard

Makes the greens and the gizzards?

If it's your God let him speak

I'll hide let him seek, I'll jump let him leap

Let him swim the deep.  Did his blood leak?

Does your god love me?

Will he still propose even though I get ugly?

Can he turn trouble to ease

Can his love make me 'weak in the knees' like SWV?

If he can take the sins of the whole world—swallow 'em

Experience death then resurrect, then I'll follow him

But if he can't then I'm stayin' with my camp

We a pack of theocrats getting' amped 'cause our God is champ!

YAHWEH the highway to Heaven's doormat

Transliterated LORD—all caps

Salvation for the creation He offers

No lie that's fly like a source of the slaughter and torture

Of the lamb frees and releases

Non-believers who put their faith in Jesus



[Chorus]



[VERSE 2]

As I take flight in Christ watch my height as I get lifted

Not off the herb, but the Word—mad gifted

It's the man of God that has his whole focus shifted

Toward the God who made the earth and all that comes with it

All of the specifics, the tidbits, the 'what is its,'

The 'aw, forget its,' the whole thing—who did this?

You say, 'Jesus, I don't get it?

I swear I see nothin' but the prosperity of the wicked.'

Let's kick it, so you could see the end that's predicted

When both sin and sinful men get evicted

I'm with it, but things look a mess—I'll admit this

And sin keeps bringing the stress—I been witness!

But God the Son is gonna rise like a biscuit

Come back and fix it

I've got the script—it's

It's scripted in scripture, but most will miss it

To them it's foolish, but I'ma school this district



[Chorus]



[VERSE 3]

Think hard, visualize the ill mob

Bombarding, fatally scarring the Son of God

Thugs sluggin,' the blood floodin'What in God's name made Him take the pain?

Much love in His heart for this world that He sparked with the verbal

The same men He made beat Him down 'til He was purple

And all could see His veins and arteries

All for you and all for me

The Savior died this is a call to be

A recipient of His life, 'cause if He didn't die

We all were gonna fry

And since we in this world dressed in this flesh that He formed

It's only right that we get our Christ on!

Yeah, I'm lovin' this chillin' under God-ruled government

Plus I'm in love with the new blood covenant

No blood no forgiveness, not a smidgen

Without the blood kid you only got religion

So marches to D.C. are no more than long trips

Prayer mail sent to Heaven with the wrong zip

Why else do you think He let divine blood drip?

Simple: we owe this sin debt and plus tip!

And there is gonna be a payday

The 'good times' will be behind some like the reruns of 'JJ'

The blood of the Lamb Jesus is mandatory

'For Thine is the kingdom, power, and the glory



[Chorus]
