“Listen to me” You said i should
heed Your Word, i said i would
and Yet, neither of these things did i,
worship You and loudly sing
to all proclaim You are The King
and Yet, neither of these things did i,
trust in You is what i need
only Your advice should i heed
and Yet, neither of these things did i,
Your strength will aid me when i’m weak
for help all i must do is seek
and Yet, neither of these things did i
“Believe I loved you from the start
all I want is all your heart,
and strength and soul, and your head
and turn not your back to Me instead”
and Yet, none of these things did i,
i said the strength i need is mine
and i’d be a king, and i’ll be fine
but i knew that these all were lies
and “regard them not,” i said would i
and Yet, again these things did i,
i see Your eyes asking “why?”
and You hear my strange reply,
“and Yet, again these things did i”
i see Your eyes asking “why?”
and You know my strange reply,
“and Yet, again these things did i”
and Yet…
again these things did i,
but still the thorns were on Your brow
and shards of glass ripped through Your skin
in mock and jest they sneered at You
and fist and rod bruised You well
till no one knew which one You were
and they set You on that tree so high
all of this in place of me
and i looked on with boring eyes
