Two Thousand Years

Barren Cross

Two thousand years ago, there came a man

A man who was hated and loved, worshipped and killed

But what was this man all about and what did he do

What made him different and why

Did his name live on too



(Chorus)

For me to live is Christ, to die is gain

There's no other name by which I'm saved

I've got the power it's in my sights

Because with him I'm not afraid to die



Now I will disclose his name, it's Jesus Christ

Why did he come just to die and how did he rise

Why is our system of dating based on one man's death?

And why is the world upside-down

'Cause of one man's life



(Chorus)

For me to live is Christ, to die is gain

There's no other name for which I'm saved

I've got the power it's in my sights

Because with him I'm not afraid to die



Now I must warn you they'll tell you don't need god

They are the foolish and they are the ones who will burn, burn in hell

But if you accept him you'll be born again

Do it now! You will live!

Feel the power of god like lead,

Feel the metal from inside my head

Feel the steel, take his flight

For when it leaves, heaven will be in sight



If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is lord

And if you believe in your heart that god raised him from the dead,

Then you will be saved and forgiven, you just have to ask

He 'll never leave or forsake you, his promise is fact



(Chorus)

For me to live is Christ, to die is gain

There's no other name by which I'm saved

I've got the power it's in my sides

Because with him I 'm not afraid to die
