Skillet-- My Beautiful Robe

I want pleasure in Your sight
I want to subscribe to Your delight
So hold on and see what I do for You
Oh by the way, did you see me dressed in my beautiful robe?
My head was bleeding so red
But of all the thorns in my crown, the roses blended
Instead with my beautiful robe carries on, I'll carry on
I cut down a tree said, "Man would you look at me"
I stuck my head in a thorn bush
Man I was deceived
Oh my brother, your hands are full of sores
But God bless you brother, my nails are longer than yours
I was crucified with Christ but how come I'm not dead
God gave me a cross but I made my own instead
My beautiful cross carries on, I'll carry on
I cut down a tree
I nailed myself to the wood
I screamed in agony
'Cause the glory wasn't so good
I fell to my knees and I remember
The words of God pierced so hard, "Your righteousness is like filthy rags"
And I fell to my knees and said, "God my filthy robe"

All of our good deeds are fithly rags in God's sight, due to our impenitrable sin. However, God can clense us of our sin. "By grace are we saved, not good deeds, lest any man should boast."

i like skillet a lot, but not so much this song...

@purplewaffles32 You should have caught em in their original lineup. Their stage presence and energy was INSANE. They took the stage and everybody was either jumping or getting whiplash.

[swbrotherton]

@deckarate That's probably because you never listened to skillet when they first formed in 96. I played the album so much it began to SKIP so I bought another.

I of course assume this information about you.

Skillet has of course gone through major band line up changes and technological changes.

Remember this was recorded in 95 brah. Right about the time grunge and post grunge was it on a STICK.

John Cooper is the only remaining ORIGINAL band member from 96.

He needs some glasses, he's wearin' a tanktop not a robe.

thanks for posting this

they are AMAZING in concert

[owmykneecaps]

The song correlates with Joseph's coat of colors (Hebrews). If you dissect the lyrics you'll find they have much depth and meaning.

All our righteous acts are as dirty rags. For man cannot enter the gates of Heaven through righteous acts but by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ alone.

For a man to say that he can achieve Heaven by himself, and that he is too good for our Lord and Savior's death, which has payed for our sins, this man is bound for Hell. Accept freely the gift given to you.

I agree invincible. I am not a big fan of their older songs but love almost all of their new ones on their recent albums
