|
The seers and the prophets had foretold it long ago |
|
That the long awaited one would make men stumble |
|
But they were looking for a king to conquer and to kill |
|
Who'd have ever thought He'd be so meek and humble |
|
He will be the truth that will offend them one and all |
|
A stone that makes men stumble and a rock that makes them fall |
|
Many will be broken so that He can make them whole |
|
And many will be crushed and lose their own soul |
|
Along the path of life there lies a stubborn Scandalon |
|
And all who come this way must be offended |
|
To some He is a barrier, to others He's the way |
|
For all should know the scandal of believing |
|
He will be the truth that will offend them one and all |
|
A stone that makes men stumble and a rock that makes them fall |
|
Many will be broken so that He can make them whole |
|
And many will be crushed and lose their own soul |
|
It seems today the Scandalon offends no one at all |
|
The image we present can be stepped over |
|
Could it be that we are like the others long ago |
|
Do we ever learn that all who come must stumble? |
|
He will be the truth that will offend them one and all |
|
A stone that makes men stumble and a rock that makes them fall |
|
And many will be broken so that He can make them whole |
|
And many will be crushed and lose their own soul |
|
He will be the truth that will offend them one and all |
|
A stone that makes men stumble and a rock that makes them fall |
|
Many will be broken so that He can make them whole |
|
And many will be crushed and lose their own soul |
