THAT AIN'T COOL...

SCRIPTURE

Matthew 9:27-34 (NRSV)

Healing the blind, casting out a demon

As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, crying loudly, "Have mercy on us, Son of David!" When he entered the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to him, "Yes, Lord." Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith let it be done to you." And their eyes were opened. Then Jesus sternly ordered them, "See that no one knows of this." But they went away and spread the news about him throughout that district.

After they had gone away, a demoniac who was mute was brought to him. And when the demon had been cast out, the one who had been mute spoke; and the crowds were amazed and said, "Never has anything like this been seen in Israel." But the Pharisees said, "By the ruler of the demons he casts out the demons."

THAT AIN'T COOL...

Why ya gotta lie on me
sayin' I serve the demon king
When I'm takin' down his kingdom
brick by brick
Why you cain't see
what the blind can see
Why you cain't hear
what the deaf can hear
Why you hatin' on a brother
just doin' the right thing
followin' Daddy's orders...
You're hatin' because you're jealous
The folks are talkin'
and it ain't about you
In three days
you'll learn I am
King of Kings
Lord of Lord
Messiah
Savior
and Friend
But today
You called me out of my name
And that ain't cool...
