Track 6. The first song I ever wrote was Passion, and it could be interpreted as a passion for my craft or a passion for a person. Zeal is a synonym for the word Passion, but now I’m talking about my passion for spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Verse
I'm still looking around my nation
Looking at the state we're in
It's clear that we're under the rule of Satan
Where can I begin
Where there should be love all I see is sin
Killing, abuse, lying, and fornication
Some people believe the Bible is outdated
Rebel from God but search for salvation
Nowadays everybody has an idol
We praise over our Abba above while choosing to live worldly and in denial
We rebuke the Father's love
Yet we're quick to blame Him when push comes to shove
Look at oppression and people who are homicidal
When is He gonna say that we've had enough
We need more than another church revival
This is the reason why the world needs to hear the Gospel
The world’s abouta erupt as if it ate a bad taco
We need God to guide us like He did to the apostles
In order to save the world from being even more hostile
LORD, use me to spread the Good News
This means get out the comfort of typical church pews
I know that you will win and Satan will lose
I wanna see your people live in Heaven with you
I'm über zealous spreadin’ your message with no question at your mention
I will spread your blessin’s with music inspired by your lessons
You tell us that you are jealous and our faith and our repentance is
Needed to grant us entrance to your heavenly eternal presence
Chorus
I’ve gone and died to me
Surrendered now to you
I’ll speak your name
‘Cause your word is truth
I’ve died to me
Surrendered now to you
I’ll speak your name
‘Cause I’m on fire for you
Verse
You came to Earth as a servant to
Sever the ties and amend the divide
You came to save all us sinners
You took up the cross and you gave up your life
It didn’t end at the cross
You were beaten and bruised, then you hung ‘til you died
But glory to God in the highest
The grave could not hold you, my God is alive
Now it is finished, He did it
We just believe He completed the mission
We all fall short incomplete when He’s missin’
His grace is sufficient ‘cause we are forgiven
Wow
Open your eyes, don’t just say you’re a Christian
He gave us power to build up the broken
And lift up the lowest, give love to the hopeless
Don’t be afraid, you are His and you’re chosen
Go speak the Gospel to all who don’t know it
You might reach one that could reach out to many
And we have a God that’s above all the sinning
Don’t forget you are a sinner
Always know you are equipped
You have the power of God
With you living within
Never be afraid, never be ashamed, never be a slave
Never ever let ‘em ever take away your light
Let ‘em hear the pain, let ‘em hear the gain, let ‘em hear the name
Go tell ‘em ‘til they’re steppin’ in the light
Chorus
I’ve gone and died to me
Surrendered now to you
I’ll speak your name
‘Cause your word is truth
I’ve died to me
Surrendered now to you
I’ll speak your name
‘Cause I’m on fire for you
Bridge
As Christians, our responsibility is to preach the Gospel. For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works
Chorus
This is my zeal
To live is Christ, to die is gain
A passion for you
Bearing my cross to die to me
This is my zeal
To tell the world of a mighty king
This is my passion
My zeal my creed
