Flame Ordo Salutis
[Intro]
I mean God Himself gives the gift of faith, thank you God
And on that basis, we embrace His promise to forgive, based on Christ
That's why we esteem justification by faith alone so highly, through Christ alone
[Verse 1]
Oh, Luther put that doctrine at the top boy
Told the opps that it was the chief article (Justification)
Him and John were both monergistic with it (Yeah)
Calvin got the ball but kinda ran an audible
Justified by our faith
Yeah they both believed
Credit to the Most High
Not the coca leaves
Drank wine with the sinners
Got to know the thieves
Racking up them good deeds hope He notice these, nope
Coram Deo “between you and God”
Get you ruined
What you doing
You ain't gone influence God (Nah)
So many tried, so many died
None of it coincides, all of your strides will be denied
Only faith justifies, yeah, though the nuance here is slight
Implications day and night, make a difference how you fight
What we doing, looking for assurance Luther's right
Sola fide it's on sight, synergism take a hike (You know the vibes)
[Chorus] x2
Faith is a gift
I've been baptized
I meet Him at the altar in the bread and the wine
It's more than a sign
That's why it's emphasized
That since Christ died
Only faith justifies
Boy our faith is a gift
[Verse 2]
He rock a priest collar
He cop a crewneck
Both monergistic in the pulpit (Facts)
One told me faith‘s where the proof's at (Luther)
The other told me better do a fruit check (Calvin)
Both told me righteousness was extra nos (Facts)
And that faith was a gift so no man can boast (Amen)
But Luther wrote the solas so I know he knows (Just sayin')
When the radical Reformers going overdose
One, better know this term it Coram Mundo
Two, the other term to know is Coram Deo
Please but you gotta keep them both in their jurisdiction
'Cause when you mix them then you're adding to the caseload (Don't do that)
My sanctification, Coram Mundo is where I'm active
My justification, Coram Deo is where I'm passive
But we emphasize mostly the completed (Justification) work
My new obedience naturally follows after
That's facts
[Chorus] x4
Faith is a gift
I've been baptized
I meet Him at the altar in the bread and the wine
It's more than a sign
That's why it's emphasized
That since Christ died
Only faith justifies
Boy our faith is a gift
