No fear of God in the hearts of man
The love of most growing cold
Prophesied long ago
Yet still it hurts the Father so
Jesus always was the truth
Jesus always was the way
Then they made Him a pop star with smoke and lights
Salvation has gone away
Traded in the altar for an altar call
Traded in sins for bad life choices
When Jesus is celebrity
He's lost in the sea of voices
No fear of God in the hearts of man
The love of most growing cold
Prophesied long ago
Yet still it hurts the Father so
Jesus always was the resurrection
Jesus always was the life
Then they made Him a hipster and gave Him a faux hawk
No longer to talk about strife
They brag about their crown of glory
The crown of thorns is never preached
Traded in the cross for an empty purpose
Now the lost are never reached
Not with the Gospel mind you
The only one that can truly save
Celebrity Jesus saves no one
From the cradle to the grave
No fear of God in the hearts of man
The love of most growing cold
Prophesied long ago
Yet still it hurts the Father so
Jesus always was our High Priest
Jesus always was our Prophet
Jesus always was our King
Then we put Him on TV in denim and leather
And it changes everything
Celebrity Jesus plays the part
He smiles and says let me into your heart
But he cannot save you
No matter how good his ratings are
No fear of God in the hearts of man
The love of most growing cold
Prophesied long ago
Yet still it hurts the Father so
They prophesy empty promises
Mystical fortunes is what they tell
Travel halfway around the world to win a convert
Yet make him twice the son of hell
Be careful who you follow
Don't trade in your Savior for a one man show
Cause when the smoke clears and the crowd thins out
All you will be left with is a man...
Lifting up the name of someone he does not know
