THE PORTRAIT (Da Vinci Code Snapshots)
Song Explanation, Resources & Lyrics
The Portrait (Da Vinci Code Snapshots)
“The Portrait” is Da’ T.R.U.T.H.’s response to fallacies spread in Dan Brown’s bestseller The Da Vinci Code and it’s motion picture counterpart The Da Vinci Code the movie. It asks a very simple question—“In which Christ do you believe?” There are many images of Christ in popular culture but there is only one Christ that is God in the flesh who qualifies as the savior of the sin sick world.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Was Christ really buried—is there a chance
That He really married Mary and fled over to France
Did they really find His bones with a fine tooth comb
Or did He walk out of His tomb to His throne
Was He God—was He not
Was He alive when they dropped Him in a tomb
Did He swoon—was He moved
Was He removed by delusional dudes that refused to believe in the truth
Were they fools
Were the disciples hallucinating was the truth evaded
‘Cause they wanted to boost His ratings
Did the Catholic church from the Vatican
Work at keeping the bag of dirt under the rug
Was he God from above
If He was do you blink, do you shrug, do you hate, do you love
(2X)
Hook
Christ on the poster
Christ of the culture
Christ on the stain glass
Christ of the future
Christ on the video
Christ on the radio
The Christ of Da Vinci
What does he really know
Christ on award shows
Christ that Lord knows
Christ that’s sure to come back in His war clothes
In which Christ do you believe
You gotta know before you leave
Verse 2
Yes he did arrive, yes He was alive
No—he wasn’t married never had any wives
Yes—He did rise, days after He died
What can I say—yes He is God!
From the womb to the tomb
To His throne nobody in Rome could hold on to His bones
‘Cause there were no bones to be held
Though His bones were beheld
Who would have known
It was Jehov on the DL, providing forgiveness
Our lives are offensive
He died to put you and I in a friendship with himself
Pain is felt
When the glorious gospel is exchanged for wealth
Forget about how the spades were dealt
And think about how you measure up when weighed on the scale
One Lord, One Faith
I Plug
One Lord, One Christ
One Judge
I thought this would be interesting, seeing that many people feel that "crossmovement" is of the devil because of their stance regarding "Holy Hip Hop".
