[Spoken] Judgment has been passed, I hereby sentence you....to LIFE [Intro] Yeah… They told me judgment was a courtroom scene But I read the script, now I see what it means Listen… [Verse 1] Punitive father make a people wanna run Blood-lust judge got ’em scared of what’s to come Fear in the pulpit, fear in the song So the church build rockets just to leave the earth gone Exit strategy, rapture mentality Instead of kingdom living with authority and clarity Western theology framed it like a trial God with a gavel and a cold-case file But hold up—flip the page, read the theme Judgment in the Bible ain’t what it seems The real criminal ain’t you or me The real outlaw walking free was death’s decree Judges in the story weren’t robed in a court They were warriors God sent as a rescue report Deborah, Gideon, Samson in the fight Raised up to restore what was broken to right [Hook / Chorus] Judgment ain’t doom, it’s the tyrant getting thrown out Chains getting shattered when the kingdom gets shown out You ain’t living scared of a day in the sky You living as the proof that the verdict passed by Yeah the cross was the mode when the system got burned Death got sentenced and the kingdom returned Hear the sound, New Creation making noise— When death gets swallowed up in victory, rejoice. [Verse 2] Jesus said, “Now is the judgment,” watch the shift Not a threat—it was a coup in the midst Ruler of the age getting cast from the throne Through a cross, bones planted deep in the stone Humanity gathered in the Son that day Co-crucified when the stone rolled away One death spoken, but it wasn’t just mine Last Adam closing the first bloodline Lake of fire, read the target again Death and Hades going down in the end Enemies burning, oppression erased Judgment restoring the human race A good judge don’t punish the victim’s cry He hunts the power that made them die So the fire ain’t rage and it ain’t revenge It’s the end of the system that built the trench [Hook / Chorus] Judgment ain’t doom, it’s the tyrant getting thrown out Chains getting shattered when the kingdom gets shown out You ain’t living scared of a day in the sky You living as the proof that the verdict passed by Yeah the cross was the throne when the system got burned Death got sentenced and the kingdom returned Hear the sound, New Creation making noise— When death gets swallowed up in victory, rejoice. [Verse 3] Sin ain’t just crime, it’s a twisted identity Forgetting the image, forgetting divinity God ain’t Judge Judy with a temper to prove He’s Deborah in battle making tyrants move Didn’t bargain with Adam, cut down the tree Root pulled out so the sickness can’t be Books of accusation thrown into flame System of condemnation buried in His name Christ died—yeah that death was yours Christ rose—now you walk through the doors Resurrection life ain’t later someday It’s reigning right now in a fearless way Delivered from the age of religious grind Labor and striving that exhausted the mind Gospel don’t just pardon what you did wrong It reveals who you were all along [Bridge] Not an angry Father barely letting you stay It’s the Son on the throne bringing light to the day Oppressor dethroned, accusations erased New creation rising in the human race. [Final Hook / Outro] So the world heard doom for too many years Thunder of judgment twisted into fear But the scripture shouts when the kingdom deploys: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” Let the earth hear the sound— New Creation making noise.
