[Interviewer]:

Ahem, welcome to the introduction (welcome)

This is an interview on the killing sin discussion

I'm here live with rapper Tim Brindle

He'll tell us about killing sin and make this thing simple (please)

So, Timothy, what inspired this project?

It's not like people like this concept

And it doesn't have the hypest content (it's true)

So, please tell us, what's your writing object?

[Timothy Brindle]:

Oh, sure

Since the making of "The Great Awakening"

I've noticed this main major thing

I see my brothers and sisters, we truly need help

To put off our sin, yo, including myself

So I wrote this album so in the heat of the moment

Instead of giving in, we'll think on Jesus' atonement

'Cause although we're no longer slaves to sin

There's still indwelling sin that remains within

And every day we're being more made like Him

Until the day we see Christ and we're blameless men

But until then, pilgrims, the main thing left to do is kill sin

[Interviewer]:

Kill sin?

[Timothy Brindle]:

Yes, kill sin

You know, killing sin

It's based on Romans 8:13

It means to put to death the works of the flesh by the Spirit (yeah, yeah)

It's the putting off of the old self

[Interviewer]:

Ah, come on, don't talk about it, just rhyme about it, pal. Come on!

[Tim Brindle]:

We're new buildings after regeneration

But there's sin within, we need renovation

So may the Word of God keep penetrating

(But it's the Holy Spirit's key meditation)

Our salvation's secure from the day that we're saved

Then, begins the process of sanctification

Which involves suffocating all lusting, hating, and pride, and doubting, not just the blatant sins

[Interviewer]:

Excuse me, sir, but I do prefer

You not to use words so huge and nuclear

A scholar like myself can acknowledge your prudence

But you're talking to hip-hoppers

Not theology students, c'mon!

[Timothy Brindle]:

Well, this may sound like the wildest truth

But in our sin before God we're a pile of poop (that's disgusting)

And when He saves us through faith

He covers our dung with the righteousness and blood of His Son

So towards us, He got no anger to show

'Cause it's like our poop's covered with a blanket of snow

But now that He saved us and covered us up

His Holy Spirit shovels out all the dung and the lust

And this is killing sin, and it's till the day of glory

When His work is done, we'll be blameless, purely

Then I'll praise His Son, 'cause His grace secured me

[Interviewer]:

Okay, you're done, you've made your statement, surely

But you sort of rambled with that corny sample

I need you to give a few more examples

'Cause you're kind of boring

Here, would you explain this more and clearer

To the normal hearer?

[Timothy Brindle]:

Well, if it seems I'm shouting smart jargon

Killing sin is weeding out your heart's garden

So the fruit of the Spirit can have room when He bears it

Then you'll be more in tune to His truth when you hear it

[Interviewer]:

Although your report has me snoring, Tim

What's helped you kill sin since you've been born again?

[Timothy Brindle]:

Well, I'd say enjoying Christ more than sin

And seeking Him every morning and adoring Him

[Interviewer]:

Wow, that's mesmerizing, mister

[Timothy Brindle]:

Oh yeah, plus I've been memorizing Scripture

To meditate on promises in His Word

Yo, this has been huge to conquer sin with this urge

But if I do sin, I hug the bloody cross

Where Christ suffered for us to be scrubbed and washed

And I repent, and then I keep depending

On Christ, who ascended to His seat in heaven

[Interviewer]:

Please, make your explanation more appealing, Tim

I still don't get it: what is killing sin?

[Timothy Brindle]:

Well, I'm sorry, you'll have to hear the rest of the album

[Interviewer]:

How come?

[Timothy Brindle]:

'Cause this song is now done
