1. IN DEFENSE OF JESUS

You mock and blaspheme
Say His resurrection was hoax
And His life null in void
That His words were meant to oppress
You pledge your allegiance to the fallen one
He spoke life and truth, everlasting peace
How is that condemning loving your neighbor as yourselves?
Is this too confusing to comprehend?
His blood on the cross was shed for redemption, man
In defense of Jesus... we offend everyone


2. NO DEFIANCE

That power has been here since the start
It surrounds us like a fire, never quenched and never cold
You thought you could escape, there's no way out of this place

No more false tongues
One more destroys
It's that faith, it's that faith that keeps me alive

Don't you hear me preach?
Don't you hear me cry?
Don't you see that picture in my head?
It's all so clear
My God is here
I'll never doubt it
Not once

I stand here with Christ
While the rest of the world laughs
But all He'll do is love me more and more

You still call me insane
But I'm only crazy, crazy for the Lord
This is all I desire from You
The chance to be with You

The world gives me nothing
But with You, I am something
The world gives me nothing
But with You, I am something
The world gives me nothing
But with You, I am something

My Father will never be beaten
My Redeemer still stands today
My Savior is no laughing matter
My God saves me!

Never take my God away
Never take my God away
Never take my God away
Never take my God away


3. CYCLE OF PAIN

Tear-stained
Insanity creeping in
Creeping in!
I cannot believe
Sadness has taken me hostage
My lungs now failing

Hurt for my beliefs
Jesus
Hurt for my beliefs
Can you hear my cries?
Jesus
Set me free from this never-ending cycle

Left alone, crushed and thrashed
Hit so hard, limb from limb
Enemies persistent
Bringing me constant pain
Constant pain!

Hurt for my beliefs
Jesus
Hurt for my beliefs
Can you hear my cries?
Jesus
Set me free from this never-ending cycle of pain!


4. DISCRIMINATION (METAPHORICAL MURDER)

Separated from other people
Thrown away because of my beliefs
Left to rot under the sun
Left with a heart broken in two

This is a cruel act of discrimination
Cast out
This is a cruel act of degradation
Murdered

God, let me not face this
God, let me not feel this
God, let me not fear this
God, take my pain away


5. DEATH TO LEGALISM

Pharisees, obsessed with the law
Sadducees, overly critical
Legalists, listen well
Stop treating us like we’re going to hell

Jesus is the boss
He prevents our loss
His temple is to dwell
To save us from hell

No words of man can hold us down
God is the source, so cast your crowns
Stop pushing me, you pharisees
God is the source, your eyes shall be open

Jesus is the boss
He prevents our loss
His temple is to dwell
To save us from hell
To save us from hell
