AN OPEN LETTER
Music and lyrics by Jeff Lenormand
They
Have lied to you
Verse 1
If you insist that we
Must translate those that don’t
Have the definite article “the”
As “a god” not “God”
Then what do you do with all
The 282 times
The New Testament says “theos”
With no article at all?
Verse 2
Are we to translate
2nd Corinthians 5:19
As “a god was in Christ”?
How absurd that would be!
Just look at John chapter one
To see that the Watchtower
Have always been lying to you
Verses 6, 12, 13, and 18
Verse 3
Where do you see the definite
Article in any of those?
Can’t you see how your leaders
Have
betrayed you?
What John teaches is
That the Word is eternal
The Word is holy personal
And the Word is deity
Chorus
They have been
Lying to you
They have been
Lying to you
They have been
Lying to you
The Watchtower lies to you
Verse 4
The word for “firstborn”
Is “prototokos” (pro-tah-tuh-kause)
Meaning “special or ” “unique” not “created”
David was called “the firstborn”
But he had
Older brothers
Israel was called “the firstborn”
But there were
Other nations
Verse 5
“No one has seen God at any time
The only begotten God
Who is in the bosom of the Father
He has explained Him”
Verse 6
Yet did not Isaiah
Say he saw the LORD
Sitting upon His throne
In His holy temple?
Who walked with Abraham
By the oaks of Mamre?
It was the pre-incarnate Christ
He was the One that was seen
Verse 7
No one has seen
God
The Father
But God
The Son
Is the one that has been seen
It is the Son
Who reveals
The Father
The only begotten Son
Who is equal with Yahweh

Borrowed Capital
04:44
|
|||
|
BORROWED CAPITAL
Atheistic bankruptcy
Using borrowed currency
Cannot ground the absolutes
Can’t make sense of any truth
Knowing what Good has shown
His existence is all known
Embracing the absurd
No excuses will be heard
Bringing up Theodicy
Complaints about morality
As if there are any “oughts”
Explaining “why” you cannot
You cannot have it both ways
Consistency you betray
Morality cannot exist
Without God it’s man-made mist
Claiming we are an accident
All the while you’re the activist
You judge between the good and bad
But there is no standard to be had
As an atheist yes, you can be moral
You can recognize between the good and the evil
But you cannot tell me any reason why we should
Why is any one action bad or good?
If we are truly just evolved stardust
Why the obligations? Nothing else has a “must”
Lions kill, they do not “murder.” They do not hold the blame
So why are we wrong by doing just the same?
Sharks will forcibly copulate
But they do not commit “rape”
Some in the wild have eaten their young
But “infanticide” has not been done
Many debates have dealt with this issue
But no one has an answer to why they commit to
Something they cannot defend rationally
Instead they sit back and say that we’re in the fantasy
They just claim a non-belief
“That’s not good enough” their motif
They claim that they “don’t have a worldview to
Have to defend.” Its something they cannot do
Why are we held to a different, man-made standard?
As if we answer to someone we must pander?
A non-existent God means there cannot be morality
It could not exist in any objective reality
You cannot have it both ways
Consistency you betray
Morality cannot exist
Without God it’s man-made mist

3. RISE
Rise, my Christian brethren
Rise against the world
They laid the seed
While we were all sleeping
While we waited for some Rapture
To take us all we took
Our eyes off the demonic realm
Now we see the fruits of their laboring
Taking the schools
Warping young minds
Truths we took for granted now are all challenged
The child-like mind has the loudest voice
We have all been silent for far too long
Time to crush the head of the serpent’s horde
Bring down all the strongholds against the Christ
By putting on the armor of God and fight!
“Why should we polish
The brass on this sinking ship?”
This question has caused us to
Let the demons fly
Foundations that once
Honored God and His law
Are now laid to waste
And we let it happen
Crumbling foundations
Of this Godless world
Government now
Honor those that mock Christ
The media and arts
Have always had an agenda
Spread their seed
Their waiting game
We have all been silent for far too long
Time to crush the head of the serpent’s horde
Bring down all the strongholds against the Christ
By putting on the armor of God and fight!
Accept no allegiance from those
That say they’re on the right
Who do not have Christ as
Their grounding in truth
They are just as lost as those that
Are on the left
They cannot bring peace
That’s only found in Christ
Waxing elegant about
What must be done
But nothing they offer can kill
The underlying disease
Though they can point to the problem
They have no answer
Because in the end
“Says who?”
We have all been silent for far too long
Time to crush the head of the serpent’s horde
Bring down all the strongholds against the Christ
By putting on the armor of God and fight!

Who Is The Blessed Man?
04:13
|

|
4. WHO IS THE BLESSED MAN?
Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord will never
Count against them, payment in full
And by that will, we have been made holy
Through the sacrifice of the body of Christ
Once for all time, never to repeat
No more sacrifice
Who is the blessed man,
The one who walks free?
Who is the blessed man,
Justified by His blood?
If its not for one time
The shedding of His blood
Did not wash away your sins
How are you the blessed man?
And by that will,
We have been made holy
Through the sacrifice
Of the body of Christ
Once for all time, never to repeat
We cannot put Him back
Upon the cross
Who is the blessed man?
The one who walks free?
Who is the blessed man?
Justified by His blood
For by one
Sacrifice He has made
Perfect
Forever
Those who are being made holy.
Can’t you see?
“He has made”
Is past tense
Meaning
Its already been done
No need
For further sacrifice
His blood
Washed all your sins
Away
Do you have assurance that its not by your will but His?
Do you think you have to have some alter Christus to forgive?
Or is it by some other
Road you must travel
When you’re guilty of sin?
Is there someone else you must call to?
Pray to your dead saints, they cannot hear you
There is no co-mediator
Your hope is in Christ
Put away your icons and
Only call upon Him
Who is the blessed man?
The one who walks free?
Who is the blessed man?
Justified by His blood

ONE LAW ONE KING
Oh how I love Your law
Meditate upon it I do
Day and night I contemplate
Your precepts objectively true
Your law brings me to the Christ
For the life that is His to give
Christ points me to the law
To show me how I should live
One law, one King
Man’s ways subjectively change
With the flow of society
Claiming to know the truest ways
Guilty of pseudo-piety
Many in Your church dismiss
Your law as abrogated
But with it do I stand
Your will for us clearly stated
The common mantra said by rote
Is “we are under grace, not law”
As if it were not by grace
That we could do Your will at all
The casual dismissal of Your law
Is something I will constantly decry
For I know where I stand
By the grace of God go I
One law, one King

6. Necessary Preconditions
The necessary preconditions for intelligibility
The future will be like the past
If the universe is the product of randomness
How do we get uniformity?
How can a cosmic accident
Produce a uniformed universe?
There are no brute facts
You cannot appeal to “just is”
No can probability be the crutch that you lean on
You still need to account for the very thing you take for granted
It is not random
Some would say, “Of course its not random,”
But how can this be without a divine Controller?
How do you get order from this chaotic cosmic event?
Who guides all the atoms from going rouge?
What would have to be true
In order for the Universe
To operate in a uniform, law-like fashion?
I submit to you it would take a sovereign God
Controlling all things in a rational, predictable way
The fact is worldviews must have grounding
Otherwise you believe nonsense
You may mock, ridicule, even insult
But then its up to you to provide your own answers
At best you can only assume
But you cannot account for
How science is even possible
Or how anything is knowable
Without God, all is nonsense

Before He Spits Back
02:21

7. BEFORE HE SPITS BACK
Kiss the son, lest He be angry and you perish in the way
For His wrath is quickly kindled. His hand of restraint shall be lifted
We are under the curse of God. Land of decay and rot
We forsook Him long ago . Threw Him out of the public square
You can only spit in God’s face for so long
Before He spits back
Your legislation mandates
Morality across the land
But what standard do you lean on?
What is your objective source?
You have none
Look all around you
Gaze at all the chaos
We turned our backs on God
Reaping what was sewn
You actually have nerve to ask Him
For His blessing of this land
While passing laws that
Scarring the imago dei
You can only spit in God’s face for so long
Before He spits back
Do not dare ask Him
To bless this land
But instead pray
He grant repentance
Turmoil all around us
Violence in the streets
You point to others and say
“They’re to blame!”
But I have to ask you
A very simple question:
The further we get from God
Are things getting better?
You can only spit in God’s face for so long
Before He spits back

You Can’t Be Serious
Music and lyrics by Jeff Lenormand
Verse 1-
If you think
That God created on
The basis of what
Free creatures would do
Then I have to ask
How does He know
These decisions when they
Don’t come from God or man?
Are these things
On the outside of
God in some kind of unknown
Cosmic ether?
Chorus-
You
Can’t
Be
Serious
Verse 2-
How can such
A brilliant mind reduce
Our Holy God to this
Sublevel?
Eisegisis
To the point that you
Insist that God must
Play “the hand that He’s been delt”
Exactly who is this
Dealer that God must
Answer to
To make His plan unfold?
Why shouldn’t we be
Praying to this god
And worshiping this one
That gives God His hand
Verse 3-
Jesus said
He is the way and the truth
So all truth is within Himself
Contrary to
Your insistence that
There is no “truth maker” and
Things are “just”
Things are what that they are
Because Christ is the foundation
Of all that is true
Your answer to
Theodicy lacks the
Logical grounding
On which it can stand
Chorus-
You
Can’t
Be
Serious

Moloch Reborn

9. MOLOCH REBORN
Societal woes scream loudly from the womb
Lovers of death, worldly self is consumed
“My body, my choice,” words drip with impurity
Me, myself, and I, the unholy trinity
Scattered parts in a basin tomb
Skulls are crushed and brains vacuumed
Suction, acid, limbs are torn
Moloch reborn
Adoption not an option in a world of indulgence
“I’m killing my baby and I have no repentance!”
Suppressing the truth in their unrighteousness
They know that a holy God exists
Scattered parts in a basin tomb
Skulls are crushed and brains vacuumed
Suction, acid, limbs are torn
Moloch reborn
Holocaustic massacre!
The church must stand for life and suffer what may
Thousands are lost by the end of the day
No longer silent by the blood and the kills
We must tear them down, the abortion mills
Scattered parts in a basin tomb
Skulls are crushed and brains vacuumed
Suction, acid, limbs are torn
Moloch reborn
