Lyrics
The Martyr
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the cold light, You looked like someone I knew years ago, before You were broken
And You loved me and said I was beautiful
Before I denied You, before I could not speak Your name
It's a mess, but we were the only ones fighting for this
And the answers were close but the questions always overcame them
How could we know?
That we would become like the ocean on the shore
And I am the boat, and You are the waves that will guide me home
But I said 'I swear I do not know the man!'
I said 'I swear I do not know the man or things that He said!'
We have become like the ocean and the shore
And I am the boat, and You are the waves that will guide me home
We'll pick up our cross and lay down our lives for our friends
There's no greater love, no greater call than when You said 'Come follow Me'
