Started From the Bottom (Gospel Remix) Lyrics

[Intro]
Shout out to Javier Roman on the hook

[Hook]
Started from a sinner now I'm saved
Jesus gave His life and He rose from the grave
Started from a sinner now I'm saved
Jesus gave His life and He rose from the grave
Started from a sinner now I'm saved
Jesus gave His life and He rose from the grave
Started from a sinner now I'm saved
Jesus gave His life and He rose from the grave

[Verse 1:]
Team Jesus, and I sport it like a letterman
The Lord on my side, now I'm better than I ever been
He came for the sick, He's my medicine
He's my healer, my doctor, my therapist
He came to pardon sin with His excellence
Our crimes made punishment definite
And good deeds don't wash away the evidence
That's like trying to kill plaque with a peppermint
We are forgiven through the blood of Jesus
To praise His name, I can't find no better reason
His name ring bells like ya trick-or-treatin'
Demons hear it and they shiver like it's winter season
Uh, I been redeemed and I ain't goin' back
The road of sin's a dead end, no cul-de-sac
Satan you can't hold me back, conqueror, I'm more than that
In the army of the Lord, screaming, where my soldiers at

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
Worthy is the lamb who was slain
They laid Him in a tomb, but He rose in three days
Worthy is the lamb who was slain
They laid Him in a tomb, but He rose in three days
Worthy is the lamb who was slain
They laid Him in a tomb, but He rose in three days
Worthy is the lamb who was slain
They laid Him in a tomb, but He rose in three days
So I am not ashamed
I am not ashamed
Alright

Question:
Why do you remix secular songs?

Answer:
In Acts 17:28, the apostle Paul said, for “‘In him we live and move and have our being’; as even some of your own poets have said, “‘For we are indeed his offspring.’ The line Paul quoted was from a poem called “Cretica”, which was written by Epimenides to worship the pagan Greek god Zeus. Paul was addressing a group of people who were very familiar with Greek mythology. So Paul understood his audience and he knew they would catch the line when he used it.

Obviously, this is not to say that Paul, in any way, agrees with worshipping pagan gods. He is engaging his culture with something that they would immediately recognize, yet uses it against their previous beliefs. So when Paul cited this pagan poem, he’s basically using the culture AGAINST the culture. And my mission for remixing secular songs is exactly the same, to use it for the glory of God.
