Tearing Down the Commons--Song

Tearing Down the Commons
Mark 2:1-12
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven."

We're fighting a war unseen in the world
We fight from the stage of heaven's will
We're fighting for a kingdom ready to come
We fight for a Savior who's already won

The Man once said, 'son, your sins are forgiven.'
And when questions rose, He asked 'what are you thinking?
For which of the following is easier to do?
Forgive a man's sins, or heal him through?'
And to prove His point, He said to the son,
'I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home'----

We're tearing down the commons
We're proving that the Son of Man
Has all authority in heaven
And earth to forgive our sins
We're tearing down the commons
Fighting for what makes no sense
And we're raising up an army
Who can think like this!

We're fighting a war unseen in the world
We fight from the stage of heaven's will
We're fighting for a kingdom ready to come
We fight for a God who's already won

The Man once said, 'son, your sins are forgiven.'
And that one phrase defeats Satan's horde
For the Son of Man came down from heaven
And on a tree on a hill, the world's sin was borne!----

We're tearing down the commons
Fighting for the lost
We're doing what the world
Considers too much cost
'Cause we're tearing down the commons
Fighting a war unseen
'Cause we're living for a God
Who can love the unclean!

We're tearing down the commons
Living like radicals
We're tearing down the commons
Like the Berlin Wall
We're tearing down the commons
To get a message through
The King of Kings reigns
And he died for you!!!

The Man once said, 'son, your sins are forgiven.'

-Note: The above is read best as a song, which is what it was written as, but as I can't sing worth anything, and the only one who loves to hear me is the Father himself, so you all just have to read it as is. The music makes it powerful, though. I plan to write it for the piano.
