temple tables
Verse 1
There's Jesus walkin tall up a dusty hill
within his chest burns a fiery zeal
Each step with purpose and passion
Each step brings him closer to the action
They’ve turned his fathers house into a den of thieves
Making merchandise of the peoples pleas
Like a bad disease pharisees Make a mockery
but Jesus sees
Chorus
He's making a whip
He's checking it twice
gonna find out who made merchandise
He's making a whip
He's checking it twice
Gonna find out who charged a price
He's making a whip
He's checking it twice
gonna find out who made merchandise
He's making a whip
He's checking it twice
Religion is an ungodly heist
Verse 2
Saul chose to sacrifice
Saul chose to pay his own price
Saul chose to pursue his pride and die
On the battlefield of his own device
Samuel said does God delight in sacrifice
No God delights in us taking his advice
Mercy is better than sacrifice
Witchcraft is pride's best vice
Chorus
He's making a whip
He's checking it twice
gonna find out who made merchandise
He's making a whip
He's checking it twice
Gonna find out who charged a price
He's making a whip
He's checking it twice
gonna find out who made merchandise
He's making a whip
He's checking it twice
Religion is an ungodly heist
Verse 3
Like lemon and lime
It's finally time to see who's really on the vine
To separate the wheat from the chaff
Who's runnin the race and who's on the paper chase
The goats and the sheep
The wolves and their fleece
Who's been hired and who's been called
The axe is pointed at the root
Who's got fruit and who looks just like Saul
Chorus
He's making a whip
He's checking it twice
gonna find out who made merchandise
He's making a whip
He's checking it twice
Gonna find out who charged a price
He's making a whip
He's checking it twice
gonna find out who made merchandise
He's making a whip
He's checking it twice
Religion is an ungodly heist
Verse 4
Legalistic critics criticize the fathers eyes
Their Pride is a foolish and vicious lie
Their Low octane gospel Full of rocks
chuggin along like there was no cross
Grace abounds but the lost are still lost
Get outta the way before your temple table gets tossed
This is Nahushtan’s last stand
This is Nahushtan’s last stand
Chorus
He's making a whip
He's checking it twice
gonna find out who made merchandise
He's making a whip
He's checking it twice
Gonna find out who charged a price
He's making a whip
He's checking it twice
gonna find out who made merchandise
He's making a whip
He's checking it twice
Religion is an ungodly heist
Verse 5
If judgement begins in the house of God
Where will it's end be
If judgement begins in the house of God
Where will it's end be
If judgement begins in the house of God
Where will it's end be
Justice is a bittersweet symphony
(solo)
bible belt welts pelt man’s mind
religions control is a stupid crime
sinister side of all mankind
like spears in the savior’s side
Jesus in center stage
theirs a war to wage a war for change
I engage in a righteous rage
temple tables tossed, and rearranged
