Beyond The Gate

spoken intro

I watched Him bleed for thieves.

I watched Him forgive killers.

So tell me…

why not me?

Verse

I wasn’t born broken, I was made with fire

First to know beauty, first to feel desire

I didn’t doubt His power, I questioned His plan

Is curiosity rebellion… or the mind of a man?

They call me pride, but I call it sight

I saw the cost before the fall that night

I didn’t crawl, I stood my ground

Now eternity treat me like I’m never allowed

Pre-chorus

If mercy bigger than sin

If love don’t keep a score

Why grace got a gate

And I’m locked outside the door?

Chorus

He died for the liars

The murderers too

Said, “Father forgive them”

While nails went through

If grace reach that far

If blood set men free

Tell me—

did He die for them…

or did He die for me?

Verse

I hear truth in your voice

But something feel wrong

You sound like justice

But justice don’t beg this long

You don’t ask to be changed

You ask to be named

You don’t want forgiveness

You want relief from blame

Pre-chorus

Mercy heal what bows

Not what argues its case

Grace don’t crown rebellion

Just because it sounds brave

Chorus

He died for the broken

Who fell and returned

Not for the fire

That refused to be burned

If forgiveness cost surrender

If love require knees

Would you bow…

or just be forgiven for free?

Bridge

If repentance is submission

Then forgiveness is defeat.

And I will not kneel

Just to be complete.

Verse

I watched Him say “It is finished”

And shake the ground below

I don’t ask to be ruled

I just don’t want to go

They say hell was made for me

But I didn’t ask to exist

So why creation get mercy

And I get none of this?

Chorus

He died for the willing

To be made brand new

Not to erase the law

That even angels knew

Grace don’t erase order

Love don’t excuse defiance

Forgiveness ain’t granted

Where pride rejects compliance

Outro

He died to save…

not to surrender truth.

(Silence.)
