Ordo Salutis

(アルバム： Extra Nos - 2020)

I mean God Himself gives the gift of faith, thank you God
And on that basis, we embrace His promise to forgive, based on Christ
That's why we esteem justification by faith alone so highly, through Christ alone

Oh, Luther put that doctrine at the top boy
Told the opps that it was the chief article
Him and John were both monergistic with it
Calvin got the ball but kinda ran an audible
Justified by our faith
Yeah they both believed
Credit to the Most High
Not the coca leaves
Drank wine with the sinners
Got to know the thieves
Racking up them good deeds hope He notice these, nope
Coram Deo "between you and God"
Get you ruined
What you doing
You ain't gone influence God
So many tried, so many died
None of it coincides, all of your strides will be denied
Only faith justifies, yeah, though the nuance here is slight
Implications day and night, make a difference how you fight
What we doing, looking for assurance Luther's right
Sola fide it's on sight, synergism take a hike

Faith is a gift
I've been baptized
I meet Him at the altar in the bread and the wine
It's more than a sign
That's why it's emphasized
That since Christ died
Only faith justifies
Boy faith is a gift

He rock a priest collar
He cop a crewneck
Both monergistic in the pulpit
One told me faith's where the proof's at
The other told me better do a fruit check
Both told me righteousness was extra nos
And that faith was a gift so no man can boast
But Luther wrote the solas so I know he knows
When the radical Reformers going overdose
One, better know this term it Coram Mundo
Two, the other term to know is Coram Deo
Please but you gotta keep them both in their jurisdiction
'Cause when you mix them then you're adding to the caseload
My sanctification, Coram Mundo is where I'm active
My justification, Coram Deo is where I'm passive
But we emphasize mostly the completed (Justification) work
My new obedience naturally follows after
That's facts

Faith is a gift
I've been baptized
I meet Him at the altar in the bread and the wine
It's more than a sign
That's why it's emphasized
That since Christ died
Only faith justifies
Boy faith is a gift
