Woe Prince Of Tyre

I don't want your money or your mansions

These are not the things I want or need

And I don't want to follow in your footsteps anymore

With those who are consumed by war and greed

What I want to be is more like Jesus

In case you haven't heard I'll tell you why

He's holy and He's true, the opposite of you

Not wanting to condemn me or destroy

And I don't want to sell my soul for mammon

So you can keep your silver and your gold

What profit would there be in my iniquity

If I gain the world, but lose my very soul

For many years I followed in your footsteps

Not knowing I was on the road to hell

And you know you almost won until Yahweh sent his Son

To free me from the darkness of your spell

I've seen the fruits of your unholy spirit

You're everything that I don't want to be

You're a user and a liar, accuser and destroyer

Of everything on earth including me

But I have been redeemed from my destruction

Through the precious blood of Christ I am set free

My sins have been forgiven, and I am bound for heaven

Where I will live for all eternity

So until then, I'll trust and follow Jesus

Wherever He will lead me I will go

From the cross of Calvary, where He gave His life for me

I will tell the world so everyone will know

That you have been defeated by the Lamb of God

Who overcame the grave on Calvary

You thought that you had won, when you crucified God's Son

But He rose again and gained the victory

And now I know as long as I have Jesus

There's nothing here on earth that I should dread

On the cross you bruised His heel, but the holy book reveals

That the Son of God will crush the serpent's head

So woe be unto you who follow darkness

Who call evil good and bitter sweet instead

With you O prince of Tyre, they'll be cast into the fire

When Jesus comes to crush the serpent's head

So I don't want your money or your mansions

These are not the things I want or need

And I don't want to follow in your footsteps anymore

With those who have been lied to and deceived

What I want to be is like Yahovah

He's everything you're not and more besides

He's holy and He's true, the opposite of you

Not wanting to deceive me with a lie

Woe prince of Tyre
