Keep It Simple

[Verse 1: Stephen the Levite]
Let me keep it simple, even a righteous man is expendable
When the life of oneself is the price or expense so
Wwhen Christ gave His for a bunch unsaved heathens
Yet in thier sins it shows a love you can't even
Imagine, as I say it, it's hard to fathom
He gave His life for me when I was busy swingin' at Him
But now I'm no longer dead in Adam
Because by grace I've attained the saving faith of father Abraham
Madam, Cleo don't know, but it ain't by the Tarot
The path to heaven is too narrow
For rude boys who t'ink that it's time to go work
Naw jerk, trust the Lord who created heaven and earth
That's the faith that justifies which means
That I've been seen by the Most High as clean
Though I'm just an unclean thing underneath His blood
Like a bag of filthy rags in the mud
But that's the love that covers up all sins like
Proverbs verse twelve in chapter number ten like
The snow that covers up the earth in December
Hidin' the dirt until the end of the winter
Remember this: don't look at life as do's and don'ts
'Cause a lot of cats will try to work their debts off but won't
Instead put your faith in the man that was dead but now lives
Interceding on behalf of His kids

[Hook: Stephen the Levite]
(Keep it Simple) Yo this ain't no works based faith
All you need to do is believe to be one of the saints
(Keep it Simple) Punchin' in your missionary hours on time card
To get to heaven yo it ain't that hard
(Keep it Simple) Salvation come by grace, through faith
Not a skinny waist or a pretty face
(Keep it Simple) even the fliest cat ain't gettin' in
If he doesn't know the Lord who was crucified for him

[Verse 2: muzeONE]
Yo I keep it simple like true or false tests, been blessed
With the answers from the author he provides in his text
I confess I've been blessed in excess, due to my access
Which I have thru Jesus made possible by his death
It'd be dumb for me to think that I could work off my debt
And forget the sacrifce by which the Lamb of God bled
And shed the blood that Oxy-Cleaned by soul from stain with sin pen
Gave me justification by faith, react to his grace
Face it kid, most churches pushing works in the face
Of new believers, non receivers drown out grace like loud speakers
But believe us when we tell you life is a gift and
Ain't nothing you can do to deserve it and
All you do is submit it to his hand
And trust that he will fill it with his plans
Then stand firm on rock, avoid quick sand
And living water will flow through you like broadband
Connection, sin infection is replaced with information
And a knowledge of your Savior that ain't learned at any college
Even scholars get baffled by simplicity of G.O.D
And how it be the fullness of his trinity is sitting in me
I keep it simple like rubix cubes to nerdy dudes
With big IQ's who love school
But salvation's simple, all you do is accept it
It only get's complex when you choose to reject it

[Hook: Stephen the Levite]
(Keep it Simple) Yo, it's just this easy
Believe in Christ and give Him your life, heaven is yours fo' sheezy
(Keep it Simple) turn from the things you use to do
And turn to the one who gave up His life to save you
(Keep it Simple) like a private club without a fee you can't pay your way in
You need connections, see what I'm sayin'
(Keep it Simple) the price has already been paid
And the initiation of the connection has been made

[Verse 3: Mac the Doulos]
Some think this is complicated, not so
You don't need a mind like Einsten, a child can understand the gospel
You thought it was rocket science? Nahh! Just keep it simple
Get born again, the LORD comes in, and you can be His temple
Redemption doesn't come from rituals
Flirting with God and not knowing the person of God and still think you're spiritual?!??!
"But I'm a morally good person. I gotta be alright."
"But even your best is filthy rags in God's sight."
Here's the truth. It's bad news, We're all bad dudes
Plus, check the trouble we're in, What we get because of our sin
But there's a solution found in Christ the substitution
Through God giving His only begotten, His love was proven
We are all long shots who wronged God
But He saved us, gave us life eternal, so literally, it don't stop
It won't stop!
Check it, it goes on and on and on and on
You get the point, it don't stop!
Actually, what we believe, you don't have to believe
As long as you like massive heat, and the agony of gnashing of teeth
Because of what happened to me, I avoided that
God put His spirit inside of me where the void was at
Let me explain, there was an exchange
Christ gave up His life and swapped my sin for His righteousness, it's that plain
Jesus paid for men to be saved from sin
If that's not simple enough, start the song over and let it play again

[Hook: Stephen the Levite]
(Keep it Simple) Try to see it like this
Without Christ, none will ever be seen as righteous
(Keep it Simple) but through His death and resurrection
Righteousness is intravenously injected
(Keep it Simple) but only when you believe
Agree with God that you're a sinner and He's what you need
(Keep it Simple) I beg you on Christ behalf
To be reconciled to God and flee sin's aftermath
