LYRICS:
Have you heard what they’re saying about me?
For the sake of your name I’ve become a reproach
Even some who I thought would stand right by my side
Turn away from me as I pass by
You have chosen and called me to bear your name
To the people who mock you and nations that rage
They despise you not listening to what you say
Hating all who would tell them to turn from their ways
So I sit alone in the midst of the crowd
‘Cause you’ve filled me with indignation
Your word became the delight of my heart
I cannot join in their games
You’ve laid your hand upon me
Have you heard what they’ve spoken against you?
Saying there’s no advantage to serving the Lord
They think if they test you they’ll always escape
You’ve sent me to warn them before it’s too late
But they think that I’m exaggerating
Living in fantasy, making up lies
Since they’ve all agreed that they’re doing just fine
And majority rules in their minds
If I were still seeking to please mankind
I wouldn’t be your servant
But I count it an honor to share in your suffering
Give me endurance to run
With my eyes on the prize
They treat me as if I’m their enemy
Yet you call me to lay down my life like you did
You know that I’m weak and I’m weary, O Lord
Help me to love like you do
Have mercy on these hardened sinners
I’m just like them, no, even worse
But in your great mercy you saved me through grace
Have mercy on them they know not what they do
I’m a light for their observation
And I’m suffering implications
Of walking in this occupation
But I have an obligation
To proclaim your great salvation
Making your truth my foundation
I am losing my reputation
But I’m fixing my eyes on you Lord
Without hesitation
I choose consecration
