[Verse 1]
Yo! let's begin the discussion
Because tim is disgusted
With sin it's destructive
I'll give the instructions
So it's not just a suggestion
Sin is nothing to mess with
Plus it's deceptive
Sin is like excrement covered in whip cream
It looks sweet but we've discovered its sick scheme
Its lavish passions has attractions
That are acting like they give satisfaction
It seems that it has more to offer
Than the Lord who bought you
But it's sure to drop you
It's disappointing
So we kill sin by the Spirit- every Christian has this anointing
Only the Spirit can filter this filthiness
Filling us with guilt instilled in ids, killing kids
So while America's at war in Iraq
We war with our flesh- ready with our swords to attack
[Chorus 1]
So let's deal with our anger and doubt
By getting to the root of it and yanking it out
Be militant and diligent
When killing sin
By the Spirit- LET'S KILL SIN
Don't provoke your flesh
But choke to death
The sin in your heart until there's no more breath
Be militant and diligent
When killing sin
By the Spirit- LET'S KILL SIN
[Verse 2]
So you came forth at a meeting
Through the course of the evening
To the altar call and prayed to the Lord that you need Him
So now pick up your cross and follow the resurrected Christ
For all of the rest of your life
Can wicked fantasies
Understand man this ain't no handstamp Christianity
Yet some folks seem to think they can continue in sin
Because their forgiven in Him by no means
Yeah we're saved through faith in Christ- that's it
But if we're saved then we'll hate unrighteousness
We praise God for His super amazing grace
But killing sin is the fruit of our saving faith
It's no excuse that we're totally depraved
Because we're united to Christ who rose up from the grave
So being born from above
Is not freedom for us to bug
Just because Jesus poured His blood
The Lamb- He was slain to cancel our blame
So listen kids He commands we abstain from wickedness
Christ was smashed when He took the wrath for us
So to kill sin is the right reaction
[Chorus 2]
We're not debtors to our flesh
But to Him who resurrected us when we were headed to our death
Be militant and diligent
When killing sin
By the Spirit- LET'S KILL SIN
He redeemed us all on the cross
So to grow in holiness is our reasonable response
Be militant and diligent
When killing sin
By the Spirit- LET'S KILL SIN
[Verse 3]
Our new birth was purchased by Holy wrists
But now He's concerned by our own personal holiness
Yet we're proud and arrogant
How dare us- when He's given us Himself for undefiled inheritance Anger and jealousy that shouldn't be found in Christians
Just like slang in a spelling bee
Sluggardly laziness
That shouldn't be named among us- just like nuns on a dating list
We used to fuss obscene dudes who cussed
But now we flee youthful lust- pursuing purity
And faith love and peace- grace from our speech
Saints we hug and greet- we're using courtesy
Satan's our rival and he's smart
Take up your Bible and be sharp
To amputate the idols in heart
And be wise and surely hide His word inside
So that when you're tempted you don't sin against Him
Sow to the Spirit
Don't sow to the flesh by listening to inappropriate lyrics
But stay on your face in prayer and take your cares
To the Father and give Him thanks and praise Him there
Stay accountable and well equipped
Surround your soul with bountiful fellowship
The only Son is patient
He gives grace when we're in need so we can overcome temptation
Every night our defense is
The whole armor of God- let's live a life of repentance
Running away from sin
Because there's infinitely more pleasure in Christ
So give all your praise to Him
[Chorus 3]
He justified us
So He'll sanctify us
The kingdom of God is to be taken by violence
Be militant and diligent
When killing sin
By the Spirit- LET'S KILL SIN
So let's get violent with our sin
Everyday we're dying
And we're dying crucifying it again
Be militant and diligent
When killing sin
By the Spirit- LET'S KILL SIN
