The Embers – This Must Not Be Taken Lightly lyrics

Persecuted, for what purpose?
To love, and not be taken seriously?
A permanent scapegoat
The one to be blamed for everything

Why would you ever allow this?
You could have obliterated them
Why would you love someone who hated you?
Why would you give your life to save them?

You strike me as amazing
Your love goes far beyond your years
So wise, so understanding
You're on such a higher level

Tortured far beyond belief
Degraded for being the One Most High
Faithful and True Witness
Oppressed and killed for spreading the Word of God

Why would you ever allow this?
You could have obliterated them
Why would you love someone who hated you?
Why would you give your life to save them?

You strike me as amazing
Your love goes far beyond your years
So wise, so understanding
You're on such a higher level

You are holy, you are perfect, how could this ever have happened?
For reasons I'll probably never understand
You gave your life for me, you gave your life for me (through love)
Instead of banishing me to hell for eternity
You gave your life for me, you gave your life for me

You strike me as amazing
Your love goes far beyond your years
So wise, so understanding
You're on such a higher level
