[Title: BAIT ON JESUS' HOOK] [Intro — Female] Sometimes I feel like bait on Jesus' hook. They see me first. But I pray they follow the line. [Verse 1 — Female] You saw the body before you heard the Word. You saw the shape before you heard my Lord. And suddenly I'm standing in a contest I never entered. Measured against my sisters like somebody has to lose for somebody else to matter. NO. Sister, I am not your competition. This body is going back to dust. I WANT YOU TO SEE CHRIST. [Pre-Chorus] If the outside caught your eye, don't stop at the bait. FOLLOW THE LINE. [Chorus — Female + Clan] I FEEL LIKE BAIT ON JESUS' HOOK! Maybe you looked at me— BUT I NEED YOU TO LOOK AT HIM! Don't compare your body! Don't measure mine! Don't let this dying flesh steal your eyes from CHRIST! If I caught your attention, HE gets the glory. I'M JUST BAIT ON JESUS' HOOK! FOLLOW THE LINE! [Verse 2 — Female] I've stood in the street and felt a man's eyes undress me where I stood. I know that look. But then I see you standing beside him. I cut my eyes back over to YOU. Then back at him. Then back to you. No competition. No little victory. I give him something to think about after I walk away— but I leave YOU smiling ear to ear. Because sister, I SAW YOU TOO. [Clan] SHE SAW HER TOO! [Female] You thought the bait was for his eyes. Maybe the hook was reaching for BOTH OF YOU. [Chorus] I FEEL LIKE BAIT ON JESUS' HOOK! Don't compare your body! Don't measure mine! We're sisters, not contestants standing in some fleshly line! DON'T WORSHIP THE BAIT! FOLLOW THE LINE! [Verse 3 — Female] Some sisters see a model body and decide what I must be. Proud. Vain. Competition. But you don't know the scars under what you're measuring. You don't know the road that brought this vessel here. I don't need you to look like me. I want BOTH OF US looking unto JESUS. [Clan] LOOK UNTO JESUS! [Female] Not her waist. Not her face. Not her age. Not her shape. Comparison makes sisters rivals. “For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.” [Clan] NOT WISE! [Female] Sister, you don't have to shrink because I walked into the room. And I refuse to make myself bigger by making you feel small. There is ONE I came to magnify. JESUS CHRIST. [Verse 4 — Female, warm] Sometimes I find us laughing together in the comments. And I see the goodness there. Maybe you think I'm looking down at you. No. I see a person on the other side of this screen. Misery loves company. So here I AM. Not to keep misery company— but to sit beside you and tell you the truth. Jesus sat with sinners. He did not become their sin. I can laugh with you. I can stand beside you. I can love you without calling darkness light. I'm not here to win the comment section. I'm not here to beat my sisters. If you noticed me— GOOD. Now look where I'm pointing. [Clan] FOLLOW THE LINE! [Breakdown] [Clan] WHEN THE SCREEN GOES BLACK— [Female] What remains? [Clan] WHEN THE AVATARS FALL— [Female] What remains? [Clan] WHEN BEAUTY RETURNS TO DUST— [Female] What remains? [Silence] [Female] Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” At the end of this Video Game— my body won't be standing. The comments won't be standing. The rankings won't be standing. But THE TRUTH will still be standing— because the Truth has a name. JESUS CHRIST. [Final Chorus — Massive] I FEEL LIKE BAIT ON JESUS' HOOK! [Clan] FOLLOW THE LINE! [Female] If you came because you saw me— DON'T LEAVE WITH ME! Don't compare your body! Don't measure mine! SISTER, I NEVER CAME TO TAKE YOUR PLACE! If the bait caught your eye— FOLLOW THE LINE! PAST THE BODY! PAST THE WOMAN! PAST THE SCREEN! ALL THE WAY TO JESUS CHRIST! [Outro — Female] Sister... I never wanted you to see me and feel less. I wanted you to see through me and find Him. Maybe you thought I didn't see you. I did. That's why I looked back at you. That's why you were smiling when I walked away. Don't stop at the bait. FOLLOW THE LINE. [Clan] CHRIST. [Female] Not me. CHRIST. JESUS IS THE LORD.
