Justified

I feel alive when I am doing 95
Lord I don’t want to die
Everyone is with me
Like a prisoner in chains
We are about to go insane

Flesh is weak and talk is cheap
People say I am in to deep
Fools are talking all the time
Like a rhythm without rhyme
The stories are changing endlessly
Cant tell if its truth or a lie
I feel it in my veins
Pushing against my brain
Got to get away before I go insane

Its your love I need
Its your love I want
Hypnotized by your love
So long since you have been the way

Justified by the Blood
Justified by the love
I have been Justified by the blood
JUSTIFIED
Justified by the Blood
Justified on the cross
Justified by the blood

Now I am set free
God has saved me
From the mess that I was in
What a mess I was in
He reached down and pulled me up
And now I am

Justified by the Blood
Justified by the love
I have been Justified by the blood
JUSTIFIED
Justified by the Blood
Justified on the cross
Justified by the blood

    I have mixed feelings about this. It has amazing rhythm and readability and passion. But I feel awkwardly chilled by it because if God IS then we don't need to be justified, simply loved.

    What kind of God would require justification and redemption? Not one I'd follow.

    I appreciate what you have to say here. You found redemption through a belief. A couple of questions: Are the first two stanza that which you escaped from? Is it safe to assume you had a previous relationship that you turned away from? Exactly what do you mean "justified"?

    This reminds me of very old Petra (I don't listen to much Christian music these days- so my comparisons can't be current)

    I found you on the critiques wanted thread so I thought I'd stop by and take a look...you're a musician and a songwriter and from Minnesota all bonuses for me because I am too.

    I would love to exchange song/lyrical critiques. I'm really just starting to write lyrics and I'd like to hear anything you have to say about them. I mark the poems that are actually lyrics after the title usually since I write poetry too.

    I will come back and read more of your music.

    Wow, I really love this peice. The insanity of it is mezmerizing, I think you captured the disturbed state of mind quite brilliantly with repetition of blood and love. I love the idea that he thinks everything is justifiable by his god, he could do anything and everything and wouldn't have to answer for it. It kind of makes me think about a serial killer, who believes his murders are justified because he does it in the name of his god. I don't know if that's what this is about, but that's what I got from it. I can't really imagine this as lyrics because I can't hear the music it would be put to, but it has a good beat to it and a pretty strong rhyme structure so I think as a song this would be good, perhaps as a dark, gothic peice, though I don't know if that's what you would put it to.
