Imagine It - The Rep

Can you imagine it?

Hangin there bleedin to death

Wheezin for breath Your stomach hurts cause You got beat in the chest!

You’re all bloody from Your feet to Your head!

From the look of things You think You’d be dead!

But You not cause You gotta finish the work

Every second’s like a minute every minute it hurts

You’re screamin in pain «Oh God!»

Screamin His name!

«Why have You forsaken Me?

This is the reason I came!»

You cryin inside but you can’t cry from Your eyes

Cause Your face is so swollen it’s drivin You blind

Your back aches!

Cause pressure is applied to Your spine

When You press up on Your feet cause You tryin to climb

Up the cross just to get a gasp of air

And meanwhile everybody laughs and cheers

It’s only been ten minutes but it feels like half a year

The Roman soldiers grab and tear at your clothes

Leavin Your private exposed humiliated is how You died for the Throne!

And they witness at the sight of Your death

And they watch You as You fightin for breath!

Every insult feels like a knife thru Your chest

And blood comes down Your neck from the spikes in Your head

The crown of thorns!

Somebody sound the horn!

Cause the curtain from the temple yo they found it torn!

That means SALVATION’S FREE!

He paid the fee I once was blind but now He made me see

I went from pee-wee to playin in the major leagues

The temple was destroyed in 1 day but raised in 3

Can you imagine it?

Gettin hit in the jaw with people standin over You

Yellin «PICK UP THE CROSS!»

They take a stick and strike You over the head

Over and over and over again

They beat You down they smile when they see You frown

They spit in Your face and laugh as You bleed in the ground

You try to get up but You can barely walk

So they force another man to carry the cross!

You’ve been condemned

All You did is give to men You lived for them

But they would rather live for sin

You never fought back but You get whipped again!

So hard that it rips Your skin

Betrayed by the kiss of a friend

Slain by the fists of men!

On a scale from 1 to 5 the pain gets a 10

But You haven’t even felt the half!

Felt the wrath until You feel the cross rub up against Your back

Thoughts of life and death are runnin through Your mind

The splinters from the wood are runnin through Your spine

This is worse than any story in the New York Times

They found You guilty and never even knew Your crime!

Every woman and man is there they stand and stare

And watch as You hang like a chandelier

Can You bear the nails in both Your legs?

Both Your arms?

Even though You know they’re wrong?

Can you imagine it?

That’s why I wrote this song

You can laugh but it’s you that the joke is on!

They drove nails through His hands

You could see the blood squirt

Now i know what they mean when they say that love hurts

Imagine torture!

Only this is much worse!

Just the thought of it makes me wanna hit the ground and hug dirt!

Why’d He do it for me?

I wouldn’t have done it for Him

I’m not a righteous man matter of fact I’m nothing but sin!

I’m not clean I got dirt stuck to my skin

And it’s like I’m proud of it so I cuss and I grin

I said «I HATE YOU!»

and He told me that He loved me

I stabbed Him in His back and He turned around and hugged me

They beat Him when instead they should have mugged me!

Shoulda left me on the cross and watch the blood leak

My tongue speaks all I do is curse and lie

That’s why I deserve to die Go to Hell!

Man I should be the first to fry!

But they gave Him the blame like He was worse than I

Worse than he!

Worse than she!

Straight up cold blooded murder in the first

degree

You aint gotta go to church to believe!

Only cause you heard it from me!

Just close your eyes and think of the murderous scene!

Could you walk in His shoes?

Drink from His cup?

He opened up His arms like «I love you this much!»

Could you do what He did?

Die so that we live?

If you could then your name is Jesus
