The Mind of Christ

Lyrics: Chege Njoroge Music: William Mendoza [Verse 1] I know this might be a story you heard but listen In the beginning, I was the Word, pre-existent And all things were made by me Without me nothing was made, the foundation’s laid by me A son for eternity, a child at birth Plus I shared the glory of god before we founded the earth Downing my worth, I took on the form of a servant Became a man so I could crush the plans of the serpent Performed miraculous no magic tricks or slight of hand In me was the life and the life was the light of man I shine bright to give the blind sight and spark this Regardless you live godless and love darkness Your sins need to be cleansed, I came to do the purging Prophecy’s fulfilled, I was born through a virgin Appointed time to shine, mankind was sinful At 12 years old I was teaching in the Temple My cousin paved my way getting people to respond To fulfill all things, I got baptized by John Then God’s Spirit descended on me like a dove His voice from above said “this is the Son I love!” Submission to the Father was instilled in this Walk as the Messiah, then His Spirit led me to the wilderness Where Satan was waiting for me to deceive But I had him, my name isn’t Adam or Eve

[Hook] It’s not my will, but it’s Thy will! It’s not my will but Thy will be done

[Verse 2] Some people thought I was psycho But still I got 12 disciples, even though one was trifle I knew this, Judas Iscariot, didn’t see That I came to free the slaves of sin like Harriet The Jews had news about the triumphant king But they confused the views about my suffering I ministered for 3 years, my fame spread for 3 years And to receive me as their king they were prepared Before I entered Jerusalem where they want me I had the disciples go and fetch me a donkey Then rode in, man this man could cause a riot Crowds screaming out loud, “Hosanna in the highest!” But I flipped the script plus tables, and dropped shouts “Get out, how dare you merchandise my Pop’s house!” I had Pharisees and Sadducees mad at me ‘Cause I was healing on the Sabbath, breaking traditional habits Their strategy was to look good, I saw through that facade Forgiving sins they asked “who can do that but God?” But in Isaiah a prophecy of God to be born Jesus Christ, I’m deity in bodily form

[Hook] It’s not my will, but it’s Thy will! It’s not my will but Thy will be done

[Verse 3] The last supper in the upper room with brethren Toast the host, I won’t drink again until you get to heaven Now it’s about the time to fulfill the Prophecy of Scripture being sold out for 30 pieces of silver The Holy One of God befriended the antithesis Judas, the devil now betrayed me with a kiss I was taken into the hands of sinful men Then I knew my time on earth was coming to an end I’m going to die for real, I ain’t bawling I’m still Trusting my Father even when they punched me all in my grill They were tagging me the agony was hurting But for certain, I went through it all to tear the veil curtain I’m God but I became a baby, had to learn to speak Now I’m a grown man getting me, having to turn the cheek Thinking I would change but I wasn’t, no budging I had to be bludgeoned so you won’t face the judging It was madness, who do people want free They shouted out loose Barabbas and crucify me The King of Kings with no sounding of horns I got whipped, they mocked my kingship and crowned me with thorns Then I was nailed to a cross as the King of the Jews I cried for their mercy not like singing the blues “Father forgive them, they know not what they do Your love is true, that’s why this blood’s for you Pour out Your mercy as My blood drips ‘Cause My flesh was ripped--I’m thirsty I need a sip!” They gave me vinegar for my quenching Now I’m ready to go back to My heavenly dimension If I be lifted up from the earth I’ll draw all men to Me And get it back to how it’s meant to be Now sinners can lean on Me like a crutch You ask if I love you? I opened My arms and said this much It’s finished, the Holy One has spoken See that My feet and palms were opened Now God’s arms are open The kingdom of God all men can inherit Father into Your hands I commend My spirit!

[Hook] It’s not my will, but it’s Thy will! It’s not my will but Thy will be done
