Lived the Day You Died (Parody of "Love the Way You Lie")

Don't understand why they brought You myrrh
 But that's all right because I like Your day of birth
 Don't understand why You'd heal, me, Christ
 But that's all right because I lived the day You died
 I lived the day You died
 I can't tell you what a thrill it is
 Like in bowling when you got your first strike
 It's like now I'm hitchhiking on the turnpike
 I broke free from doin' life, now it's midnight
 Then God comes along with a ride, invites me inside
 I offer stuff to compensate
 He doesn't want no payment – says, Brother, it's all be covered
 It's tough to take – I say, Lord, I'm a lousy clown, why'd You stop to save me
 You must be crazy, man, I'm such a waste
 Where we goin'? I'm redeeming you – no you ain't
 I'm bad, and someone like that can't become a saint
 It's too ingrained – He said, there's no one good – you're goin' straight
 I took command, and I'm winnin' you back – your soul is saved
 But, Lord, my past was awful, I feel so estranged
 I'm trapped – Who trapped you? I don't see no ball and chain
 I laid hands on you – you'll never do this alone again
 I guess you don't know the Lord's grace
 Don't understand why they brought You myrrh
 But that's all right because I like Your day of birth
 Don't understand why You'd heal, me, Christ
 But that's all right because I lived the day You died
 I lived the day You died
 I lived the day You died
 You know, they struck His body so much
 He could breathe when they hit Him
 But Jesus, He did not refuse, even though they whipped Him
 Not a warm, fuzzy feeling, gettin' killed just for livin'
 Like He's some punk they didn't know from Adam
 The Lord, He said, forgive 'em
 When they did those things to hurt Him
 Though they spit upon His face and invented stuff to curse and convict Him
 They plucked out his facial hair
 Laughed while givin' Him a thorny crown
 Pinned Him to a cross in the Roman mannerism
 Yet they gave Him a cold drink to cope with though
 Something infinitesimal, a gesture made
 Guess that they didn't know that in their painkilling recipe
 Something was left over from a different day
 One that came with frankincense and gold
 It was embalmer's myrrh
 Mixed with wine – He still refrained
 You don't get it, Wonder Man, Christ was not immune to pain
 But it's not in vain
 Now the rest of us receive God's forgiveness
 Guess that's why they say "no pain no gain"
 Don't understand why they brought You myrrh
 But that's all right because I like Your day of birth
 Don't understand why You'd heal, me, Christ
 But that's all right because I lived the day You died
 I lived the day You died
 I lived the day You died
 Now I know I said things, did things that were pretty mean
 And we fall back to the days of Adam and days of Eve
 But Your temptation was bad as mine is, from A to Z
 Yet You never flunked the test like I did
 You made it clean somehow
 They cussed at You, nailed You to a tree
 Maybe it was Satan just shiftin' the blame to You from me
 Maybe that's what happens when some fourth graders meet with Darth Vader
 All I know is the devil's too much for us to face now
 The Messiah picked up my tab 'cause He died for all
 Though I see sin starin' me in my face when I fall
 Though I'm just a slimeball
 Took me in when I called
 Yes, I'm enlistin' as a Christian disciple
 Guess it's time here for me to testify
 I will follow Christ even through my lowest times
 "Cause I know I became righteous from the fact I know my Messiah
 If the devil tries to sucker me again
 I'm a try and do my best to just renounce that liar
 Don't understand why they brought You myrrh
 But that's all right because I like Your day of birth
 Don't understand why You'd heal, me, Christ
 But that's all right because I lived the day You died
 I lived the day You died
 I lived the day You died
