Portrait

You're not who they say you are
They made you the enemy, enemy, enemy
(Christ)
Jah flesh
(Christ)
Light within
(Christ)
Beginning and the end
Taken something so beautiful
Painted a new picture that makes me sick
Sick, sick, sick, sick
(Christ)
Witness
(Christ)
Living one
(Christ)
First and the last
Feed our minds confusion
Sweeten the taste of pollution
Pollution, pollution, pollution
(Christ)
Word life
(Christ)
Resurrect
(Christ)
Everlasting Jah
Some people call you father
Maybe you could set me free
These people hate each other
But you've always been there for me
I refuse to be like you
Without my life, caving in
Caving in, caving in
(Christ)
Jah flesh
(Christ)
Light within
(Christ)
Begining and theend
I surrender, giving up all that is me
Yeilding to you
(Christ)
Witness
(Christ)
Living one
(Christ)
First and last
Shape me in my brokeness
Empower me forever
Forever, forever
(Christ)
Word life
(Christ)
Resurrect
(Christ)
Everlasting jah
Some people call you father
Maybe you could set me free
These people hate each other
But you've always been there for me
Some people call you father
Maybe you could set me free
These people hate each other
But you've always been there for me
Some people call you father
Maybe you could set me free
These people hate each other
But you've always been there for me
I know you will complete this work started in me
I need you more than ever now that I know who you are
I know you will complete this work started in me
I need you more than ever
Know that I've come so far
I know you will complete
(Some people call you father)
This work started in me
(This work started in me)
I need you more than ever
(These people hate each other)
Now that I know who you are
(Now that I know who you are)
