Witness |
| Hemmed in, surrounded on every side by men who hate me on account of you, |
| torn down by their fury and spite, |
| blindly raging against your voice, |
| every shred of mercy has fled. |
| I speak the truth, but they don’t hear. |
| I’m shut down by closed minds and hardened hearts, my cries for reason fall on |
| deaf ears. |
| But what is this flesh? |
| It’s just a vanishing mist, it’s not my home, these eyes are fixed on what’s |
| true, believing you, and scorning every prize offered by these times. |
| Unashamed in the face of this wrath, |
| because this foundation is true, |
| so we are ready to die. |
| The mob’s pressing in, heaven’s filling my sight, I know there’s no turning |
| back from this promise of life… |
| with steadfast resolve… |
| gritted broken teeth, the stones are pounding me down, I’m being beaten into |
| dust, pummeled into the ground. |
| When I’m drenched in blood, hands raised to heaven I’ll cry ( |
| Father), Lord of all (forgive them), take my spirit home (for they know not |
| what they do) (your will be done). |
