Christafari - Gospel Truth Lyrics
Lyrics
Life is one big road
With lots of signs
But I see them go
Down a dead-end street
Most of the time
There is only one road
To get to Zion
Don’t you know?
It’s Yeshua
We got to keep our eyes on
Woah- Anyone who believes in Him Will not be (is never) put to shame
Woah- Anyone (everyone) who calls upon His name - will be saved!
CHORUS:
This is the Gospel truth
That I will bring to you
It is the Gospel truth
The Gospel truth
For all of us have sinned
We fall short of the Glory of God
But God demonstrates
His great love for us
For while we were sinners
And were headed for wrath
He sent only Son to die for us
(PRE-CHORUS)
(CHORUS)
If you believe in your heart
And confess with your mouth
That “Yeshua is Lord”
and rose from the grave
(Then) you are saved
(For) It’s with your heart you believe
and are justified - yes, you’re made right with God
You profess your faith
Then you are saved
(PRE-CHORUS)
(CHORUS)
For the wages of sin is death
But the free gift of God is Life
Eternal Life through
Christ our Lord
Yes the wages of sin is death
But the free gift of God is Life
Eternal Life through Christ
our Lord

Meaning & Inspiration
Christafari's "Gospel Truth," from the album *Sounds of Salvation*, released on July 11, 2025, is a powerful declaration of the core tenets of the Christian faith, presented with a directness that resonates deeply. The song immediately confronts the human condition, acknowledging the often-misguided paths we tread in life, likening them to roads leading to dead ends. This sentiment echoes the prophet Jeremiah's lament, "You have perverted the way of the Lord; you have made it a thing of dread and disgust" (Jeremiah 3:21, paraphrased). The lyrics then pivot, offering the singular path to redemption and spiritual fulfillment, a destination they refer to as "Zion." This singular road, the song asserts, is found in "Yeshua" – Jesus Christ. This immediately brings to mind Jesus' own words in John 14:6: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." The song's insistent repetition of "the Gospel truth" underscores its unwavering conviction in this message.
The heart of the song lies in its unapologetic exposition of the Gospel, which the lyrics faithfully present as the "Gospel truth." It directly addresses the universal reality of sin, stating, "For all of us have sinned, we fall short of the Glory of God." This aligns perfectly with Romans 3:23, a cornerstone verse in understanding humanity's need for salvation. However, the song doesn't dwell in despair; instead, it immediately counters this stark reality with the boundless love of God, as demonstrated by His selfless act: "But God demonstrates His great love for us... He sent only Son to die for us." This powerful statement directly reflects Romans 5:8, which declares, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." The song then details the transformative power of belief and confession. It emphasizes that believing in Christ in one's heart and confessing Him as Lord and Savior, who rose from the grave, leads to salvation. This is beautifully illustrated by Romans 10:9-10, which states, "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved." The song's profound message culminates in the stark contrast between the consequence of sin and the free gift of eternal life. "For the wages of sin is death," it proclaims, a direct quote from Romans 6:23, before immediately presenting the antidote: "But the free gift of God is Life, Eternal Life through Christ our Lord." This encapsulation of the Gospel, from the problem of sin to the solution in Christ, makes "Gospel Truth" an inspiring and foundational piece of contemporary faith music, serving as a clear and compelling reminder of the central tenets of Christian belief.
