I Have To Die First Lyrics

Apologetix I Have To Die First lyrics

Risin' up that's what He said
It's my time let's commence this
In 3 days I will be back from the dead
There's a plan to fulfill in the line
So many times He talked in the past
About His passion and His glory
Just like the grain used for weed has to die
It must die so the wheat can arise

He said
I have to die first to fulfull all the signs
Risin' up through the power of my Father
At last when the hour has come you'll know I was right
And I warned you before this day I'd
Have to die first

Facing death in Gethsemane
Sweatin' blood feelin' lonely
He prayed to God, "You can take this from me
If you will", but He still had to die

He said
I have to die first in this terrible fight
Risin' up through the power of my father
And the last lonely hours I've been prayin' tonight
And I want you to know this day I'd
Have to die first

Risin' up hate-filled mob
Took our Lord up to Calvary
Read His sentence and was nailed to the cross
But the man that they killed is alive

He said
I have to die first it's a strange way to fight
Risin' up through the power of my father

In the last hour I rise and put the devil to flight
And I warned you before this day I'd
Have to die first

But I have to die first (x 6)
