The Lie

[Verse 1] Yo, listen up, I got a truth to spit, About a concept that don't quite fit. Eternal hell, man, it don’t make sense, Infinite torment for a finite offense? A just God, fair in every decree, Wouldn’t lock you up and throw away the key. Love is the essence, the cornerstone, Not a judge with a gavel, cold as stone. [Chorus] How could love create eternal pain? Infinite wrath for a moment’s stain? A God of mercy wouldn’t cast that spell, There ain’t no room for an eternal hell. [Verse 2] Think about it, man, it’s a paradox, A loving Creator with punishment that locks. Justice ain't vengeance, it ain't blind rage, It’s redemption written on an eternal page. Finite crimes, they come and go, But love’s a river, it’ll always flow. A soul might wander, might go astray, But a God of grace always shows the way. [Chorus] How could love create eternal pain? Infinite wrath for a moment’s stain? A God of mercy wouldn’t cast that spell, There ain’t no room for an eternal hell. [Bridge] Hell’s a metaphor, a state of mind, Not a dungeon where the damned are confined. God is love, the beginning, the end, A healer, redeemer, the ultimate friend. Forgiveness is the lesson, time to reflect, Not eternal fire for every defect. If God is infinite, then grace is too, A boundless force, pulling us through. [Outro] So let go of fear, embrace the light, A God of love will make it right. Eternal punishment? That myth will fall, Because love, my friend, is the greatest law of all.
