Acts 15 Breakdown

[Intro]
I don’t need forty minutes. Just give me three.

[Verse 1]
A holy council called to stand
A group of scowls across the land
(Why no knife? No sting? No pain?)
(How can grace save if it's not in their vein?)

[Verse 2]
Salvation was never bound by Law (What?)
It’s Yeshua’s voice that gives the call (Yeah!)
Abe felt the blade long ago
But it wasn’t the snip that saved his soul

[Chorus]
New blood obeys the old lines too
The council spoke, this isn't new
Not all at once, not from the start
A few rules to carve a brand-new heart

[Verse 3]
Still the arguing wouldn’t stop or die
Today, the same old cries rise:
(Why four rules? Not ten? Not more?)
(Why lift the rest as a burden ignored?)

[Verse 4]
Do you walk those four commands? (Uh, no!)
Did you hear James' strong stand? (He sang!)
The weight was too much all at once (Hmm!)
Slowly learn in the coming months

[Chorus]
New blood obeys the old lines too
The council spoke, this isn't new
Not all at once, not from the start
A few rules to carve a brand-new heart

[Breakdown]
Why skip the verse that lays it bare?
The Law’s read aloud — it's always there!
The council said, "Come learn the Way!"
Not "Stay as you were ‘till judgment day!"

[Chorus]
New blood obeys the old lines too
The council spoke, this isn't new
Not all at once, not from the start
A few rules to carve a brand-new heart

This isn't new. We do this in church every day.
What sin chained you down when you came to the door?
Let’s break those links, walk as one, and rise once more.

[Final Chorus]
Acts fifteen shows the path for new kin
Not a license to live in sin
The Law’s to guide, to make things right
That’s all I’ve got tonight. Good night.
