Lyrics
John Calvin, I’ve been reading your work…
And I’ve got some questions for you.
[Verse — Arminius]
You say before we breathe the air
Our names are written, fixed somewhere
Before we walk, before we fall
God’s verdict’s spoken over all
But Christ calls sinners far and wide
Not just a list pre-certified
If grace is love and mercy true
Why call the world if none can choose?
Man is fallen — yes I agree
But grace awakens eyes to see
The Spirit moves, the sinner hears
Yet leaves the will responsible here
God sees ahead who will believe
And those are whom He will receive
Election stands — but here’s the key
God chooses those He foresees believe
[Verse — Calvin]
You’re right that man is dead in sin
Corruption runs beneath the skin
But Scripture presses deeper still
The fall destroyed the rebel will
Dead in sin — the Word has said
Not wounded souls but Walking Dead
You say God looked through time to see
Who’d place their faith and then agree
But faith itself God must supply
Or every sinner still would die
Ephesians speaks — the gift is faith
Not something human hearts create
And if belief begins with man
You shift salvation’s final plan
If man decides who heaven redeems
Then man gets credit behind the scenes
[Chorus]
Who saves?God alone.
Who callsThe heart of stone?
Grace that raises from the grave
Or man who chooses to be saved?
[Verse — Arminius]
But if the will is bound by decree
And none can turn themselves to Thee
Then why does Christ with tears implore
The hearts that still refuse His door?
He wept for souls who turned away
A grace rejected that very day
A call that reaches every land
Yet doesn’t force the sinner’s hand
[Verse - Calvin]
You preach a cross that opens doors
And waits to see who walks the floors
A Savior hoping men comply
While rebels choose to pass Him by
But Christ didn’t bleed for “maybe saved”
He called His sheep out of the grave
You say the dead can seek the light
But corpses never start that fight
When Jesus called outside the tomb
Lazarus rose — He didn’t choose
The Shepherd speaks — the dead arise
His voice creates the faith inside
If God just chose the ones who’d believe
That means His choice depends on me
But when God speaks and sinners rise
The glory alone belongs to Christ
[Verse - Calvin]
In Romans 9, the twins are named
Before their deeds, before their fame
“Jacob I loved,” the Scriptures say
God’s purpose stood before their day
Not by the will, not by the race
But God who shows redeeming grace
The potter shapes the yielding clay
Who answers back and dares to say?
Who are you, man, to question God?
The dust that argues with the rod
The vessels formed for wrath or grace
All bow before the Potter’s place
[Chorus]
Who saves?God alone.
Who callsThe heart of stone?
Grace that raises from the graveSalvation belongs to Christ alone.
