As For Me And My House
ARTISTS
Written by Tim Miller and Jake Paurus.
DESCRIPTION
“May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world” (Ga 6:14).
“But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith” (Php 3:7-9)
As For Me And My House is part of the Christ The Wisdom, Christ The Power album.

As For Me And My House
LYRICS
Verse 1
Wealth and riches, fame and fortune, empty vanities
Ease and comfort, love of money, lull the heart to sleep
Confidence in gold and silver, false security
Sets the stage for lawlessness, the great idolatry
Those who trust in mammon, taking refuge in a lie
Gain the whole world now, but in the end they lose their life
So the folly of this evil age, we leave it all behind
We resolve to know nothing but Messiah crucified
Chorus
As for me and my house, we will boast in the cross
What was once to our gain, now we count it as loss
Well-fed or in want, we are Yours come what may
In life or in death, glorify the Lamb that was slain
The Lamb that was slain
Verse 2
Clever talk, deceitful scheming, lust for human praise
Empty chatter void of power leads the flocks astray
A house of hay and stubble is the wisdom of this age
Never gonna’ make it through the fire of that Day
Well the man who loves is known by God, but knowledge fills with pride
The foolishness of God shines brighter than the sage’s light
So though the Greek may look for wisdom and the Jew look for a sign
We resolve to know nothing but Messiah crucified
Chorus repeat
Rap
The Lamb that was slain, Though he was rich for our sakes,
became poor so that we through his death may partake
In the prize, in the treasure, eternal life, joy, n pleasure
At his right hand forever, in the ages to come
showin’ us the riches of his kindness and love
He was cut off from the land of the livin’,
oppressed and afflicted, His death for the wicked,
when his body was given on His people’s behalf
Messiah bled, so The wrath would pass
Behold I come–as is written in the scroll–
A body prepared, not the blood of animals
To do the Fathers will, laying down his life
Once and for all as a holy sacrifice
The blood of Christ, it paid the price,
it sanctified a spotless bride, On hearts and mind,
His law He’ll write From every nation tongue and tribe
Their God He will be, forever they’ll be his own
The whole building rests on the rejected corner stone
Precious in their eyes, the pearl of greatest price
They leave all behind, regardless the cost
So AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL BOAST IN THE CROSS
