OPEN MIC WEEK 16 - Meet Me At The Cross - Original Music from @papa-pepper
I thought I’d pull out another old original song that I wrote many years ago and share it with you all. It’s one from when I had first became a believer that I wrote to a beat a friend of mine made.
It’s a bit of “Jesus Music” so be forewarned!
MEET ME AT THE CROSS
YO MEET ME AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CROSS
WE’LL MEDITATE ON THE SEA OF BLOOD THAT HE LOST
YEAH WE GOT SALVATION, BUT WHAT WAS THE COST?
THE DEATH OF THE ONLY SON OF THE BOSS
A-YO MEET ME AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CROSS
WE’LL MEDITATE ON THE SEA OF BLOOD THAT HE LOST
YEAH WE GOT SALVATION, BUT WHAT WAS THE COST?
THE DEATH OF THE ONLY SON OF THE BOSS
WHAT A PRICE THAT HE HAD TA PAY IN OUR PLACE
THEY WHIPPED HIM AND TORE HIS BEARD OUT HIS FACE
WHATTA SACRIFICE –THE GIFT IS INDESCRIBABLE
JESUS THE CHRIST-HANGING THERE UNRECOGNIZABLE
CUZ YOU COULD BARELY EVEN TELL THAT HE’D BEEN A MAN-
BUT MUTILATION –N- TORTURE COULD NOT STOP GOD’S PLAN
THE CROWD OF UNBELIEVERS MOCKING AND JEERING
LAUGHIN –N- TAUNTIN - SPITTIN –N- SNEERING
CUZ THEY COULDN’T TELL- FROM THE WAY IT WAS APPEARING
GOD HAD GIVEN’EM EARS –N- EYES -BUT THEY WERE NOT HEARING-
OR SEEING, JUST THOUGHT HE WAS ANOTHER HUMAN BEING-
BUT HE’S NOT,
HE FULFILLED THE PROPHECIES OR HAD YOU FORGOT
CUZ BY THE BLOOD SPILLING FORTH THAT’S WHEN WE WERE BEING BOUGHT
THEY COULD NEVER EVEN IMAGINE- IT WAS NOT WHAT THEY HAD THOUGHT
IT WAS GOD’S OWN WAY OF RECONCILIATION
JESUS THE MESSIAH -THE HOPE OF THE NATIONS
MY PROPITIATION – OUR SALVATION
DEALT WITH THE PAIN- N- THE HUMILIATION
BUT CRIED OUT ALOUD AT THE TIME OF SEPARATION
TIME OF SEPARATION
UNFORTUNATELY GOD CANNOT- JUST- FORGIVE- SIN
HE REQUIRES THE DEATH PENALTY- JUST ASK HIM
READ IT FOR YOURSELVES- ROMANS 6:23
CUZ WITHOUT THE MESSIAH THAT’S RIGHT WHERE WE’D BE – BOTH YOU AND ME- DEAD FOR ETERNITY
STILL THERE’S ONLY ONE WAY- THAT THE PENALTY HE’LL LIFT
AND THAT’S IF YOU WILL CHOOSE -TO ACCEPT GOD’S FREE GIFT
- ACCEPT - GOD’S - FREE - GIFT
SO MEET ME AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CROSS
WE’LL MEDITATE ON THE SEA OF BLOOD THAT HE LOST
YEAH WE GOT SALVATION, BUT WHAT WAS THE COST?
THE DEATH OF THE ONLY SON OF THE BOSS
A-YO MEET ME AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CROSS
WE’LL MEDITATE ON THE SEA OF BLOOD THAT HE LOST
YEAH WE GOT SALVATION, BUT WHAT WAS THE COST?
THE DEATH OF THE ONLY SON OF THE BOSS
SO WHATTA GREATER EXPRESSION OF LOVE COULD THERE BE
SENT DOWN FROM ABOVE TO SAVE YOU –N- ME
WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS AND UNDESERVING
JESUS HEALED THE BLIND SO WHY CAN’T YOU SEE
HOW MUCH GRACE DOES GOD HAVE -AND HOW MUCH IS HIS GLORY
THAT HE’D HAVE MERCY ON ME- AND HE’D REWRITE MY STORY
TO THE GATES OF HEAVEN ONLY JESUS IS THE KEY
SO THAT WE MAY NOT PERISH BUT LIVE ON ETERNALLY
FOR NO MAN CAN COME - TO THE FATHER BUT THROUGH ME
THE WORDS OF THE CHRIST ARE WRITTEN VERY CLEARLY
IN JOHN 14:6 IS RIGHT WHERE THEY WILL BE SO
LISTEN TO MY WORDS –N- PLEASE HEAR MY PLEA
NOW THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB HAS –COM-PLETE-LY—SET-ME -FREE--
NOW NO MAN ON EARTH HAS POW-ER OVER ME CUZ
THE LAWS DON’T APPLY WHEN IN CHRIST YOU ABIDE
THERE’S NO NEED TO FEAR THE COPS WHEN THE CHRIST IS YOUR GUIDE
THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE -WAS BACK WHEN I DIED
YEAH I KICKED PAPA OUT AND JE-SUS MOVED INSIDE
NOW THE OLD MAN IS GONE BUT CHRIST LIVES ON –N- ON –N- ON
SO MEET ME AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CROSS
WE’LL MEDITATE ON THE SEA OF BLOOD THAT HE LOST
YEAH WE GOT SALVATION, BUT WHAT WAS THE COST?
THE DEATH OF THE ONLY SON OF THE BOSS
A-YO MEET ME AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CROSS
WE’LL MEDITATE ON THE SEA OF BLOOD THAT HE LOST
YEAH WE GOT SALVATION, BUT WHAT WAS THE COST?
THE DEATH OF THE ONLY SON OF THE BOSS
ETERNITY’S ON THE LINE SO IT MAY BE WORTH YOUR TIME
TAKE A PEEK IN THE SCRIPTURES - INSPIRATION’S DEVINE
IT COULD CHANGE YOUR WHOLE EXISTENCE MAN -IT’S CHANGED MINE
CUZ JESUS SAYS IF YOU WILL LOOK- THEN YOU WILL FIND
IF WE’LL ACCEPT IT HE PAID OUR PRICE -ALL MANKIND
GOD LOVES EVERY ONE OF YOU- HE’S PATIENT AND KIND
BUT HE’S ALSO JUST SO REPENTENCE IS A MUST
AND IT’S ONLY IN JESUS -THAT WE SHOULD TRUST
SINCE HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD I KNOW THAT HE WAS
THE TRUE SON OF GOD LIKE HE CLAIMED TO BE
BY BELIEVING IN HIM YOU’LL GAIN EVERYTHING
AND IF WE’RE WRONG WELL THEN YOU WILL LOSE NOTHING
HE GAVE YOU FREE WILL -SO WILL YOU JOIN ME
THE CHOICE IS YOURS- WILL YOU JOIN ME?
AND MEET ME AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CROSS
WE’LL MEDITATE ON THE SEA OF BLOOD THAT HE LOST
YEAH WE GOT SALVATION, BUT WHAT WAS THE COST?
THE DEATH OF THE ONLY SON OF THE BOSS
A-YO MEET ME AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CROSS
WE’LL MEDITATE ON THE SEA OF BLOOD THAT HE LOST
YEAH WE GOT SALVATION, BUT WHAT WAS THE COST?
THE DEATH OF THE ONLY SON OF THE BOSS
MEET ME AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CROSS
MEET ME AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CROSS

Thanks Brother!
i grew up heavy in an evangelical free church, my uncle was the pastor, and I was involved in the youth group pretty hardcore, huge DC talk and jars of clay fan, sixpence and plumb. even the old school stuff like carmen and MWS rebecca st. james ect. Im not religious in christian terms any longer, sorda fell out of those lines of thinking, but as an artist I remember going through phases of songwriting that this just reminds me of back in the early 90's. I have to admit it made me laugh hearing this a little bit, and the chorus has honestly been stuck in my head to the point of singing it all over the house, and making slang 90's rap gestures. ;) im an odd one... much love my friend
Glad to hear that I brought back some memories for you, and thanks so much for checking it out! I really appreciate that @soundlegion.
Also, one of my long time friends and former band-mates has the given birth-name Legion, so it reminds me of him when I read your name! So thank you for the memories too!
no seriously i cant get it out of my head.... "meet me at the bottom of the cross well meditate on the sea of blood that he lost" just when i thought it was gone, you respond to my comment and bang its back.... lol!!
Wow, I have been known to made some catchy ones... Have you heard of steemstock yet? Check @riosparada.
hey @papa-pepper just another story how your song has affected life this end. My 12 year old daughter has been singing it as well, been a catchy little tune the chorus around the house as i mentioned, but she goes to sunday school with papa and nana and had a free style moment in front of the class and burst out with your chorus .. was absolutely fantastic. also a little plug for steemit, about 100 people there. had to tell ya.. with love the legion fam
WOW! I can't wait to tell the rest of my peppers about that!
It is catchy, and I'm glad that your daughter liked it too!
Hi sir! I DM you, please check it.
Cool. Thanks for entering again.
I thought maybe @luzcypher would like some Jesus music this time.
haha you're a funny guy @papa-pepper lol
