Lived the Day You Died (Parody of "Love the Way You Lie") - ApologetiX

Don’t understand why they brought You myrrh

But that’s all right because I like Your day of birth

Don’t understand why You’d heal, me, Christ

But that’s all right because I lived the day You died

I lived the day You died

I can’t tell you what a thrill it is

Like in bowling when you got your first strike

It’s like now I’m hitchhiking on the turnpike

I broke free from doin' life, now it’s midnight

Then God comes along with a ride, invites me inside

I offer stuff to compensate

He doesn’t want no payment — says, Brother, it’s all be covered

It’s tough to take — I say, Lord, I’m a lousy clown, why’d You stop to save me

You must be crazy, man, I’m such a waste

Where we goin'?

I’m redeeming you — no you ain’t

I’m bad, and someone like that can’t become a saint

It’s too ingrained — He said, there’s no one good — you’re goin' straight

I took command, and I’m winnin' you back — your soul is saved

But, Lord, my past was awful, I feel so estranged

I’m trapped — Who trapped you?

I don’t see no ball and chain

I laid hands on you — you’ll never do this alone again

I guess you don’t know the Lord’s grace

Don’t understand why they brought You myrrh

But that’s all right because I like Your day of birth

Don’t understand why You’d heal, me, Christ

But that’s all right because I lived the day You died

I lived the day You died

I lived the day You died

You know, they struck His body so much

He could breathe when they hit Him

But Jesus, He did not refuse, even though they whipped Him

Not a warm, fuzzy feeling, gettin' killed just for livin'

Like He’s some punk they didn’t know from Adam

The Lord, He said, forgive 'em

When they did those things to hurt Him

Though they spit upon His face and invented stuff to curse and convict Him

They plucked out his facial hair

Laughed while givin' Him a thorny crown

Pinned Him to a cross in the Roman mannerism

Yet they gave Him a cold drink to cope with though

Something infinitesimal, a gesture made

Guess that they didn’t know that in their painkilling recipe

Something was left over from a different day

One that came with frankincense and gold

It was embalmer’s myrrh

Mixed with wine — He still refrained

You don’t get it, Wonder Man, Christ was not immune to pain

But it’s not in vain

Now the rest of us receive God’s forgiveness

Guess that’s why they say «no pain no gain»

Don’t understand why they brought You myrrh

But that’s all right because I like Your day of birth

Don’t understand why You’d heal, me, Christ

But that’s all right because I lived the day You died

I lived the day You died

I lived the day You died

Now I know I said things, did things that were pretty mean

And we fall back to the days of Adam and days of Eve

But Your temptation was bad as mine is, from A to Z

Yet You never flunked the test like I did

You made it clean somehow

They cussed at You, nailed You to a tree

Maybe it was Satan just shiftin' the blame to You from me

Maybe that’s what happens when some fourth graders meet with Darth Vader

All I know is the devil’s too much for us to face now

The Messiah picked up my tab 'cause He died for all

Though I see sin starin' me in my face when I fall

Though I’m just a slimeball

Took me in when I called

Yes, I’m enlistin' as a Christian disciple

Guess it’s time here for me to testify

I will follow Christ even through my lowest times

«Cause I know I became righteous from the fact I know my Messiah

If the devil tries to sucker me again

I’m a try and do my best to just renounce that liar

Don’t understand why they brought You myrrh

But that’s all right because I like Your day of birth

Don’t understand why You’d heal, me, Christ

But that’s all right because I lived the day You died

I lived the day You died

I lived the day You died
