The world may hate me now But they first hated You Father, forgive them They know not what they do They can cut out my tongue They can gouge out my eyes They can tear out my heart They can burn me alive As they hurl their stones at me Even in the face of death I will praise His holy name Even with my dying breath Now, I'm handed over to the mob They want me dead I can hear the crowd all chanting Off with his head Face to face with all my killers My time has come to die I make a final declaration He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life As I close my eyes in death My head rests on the chopping block I can see Heaven open wide As I'm greeted by the Son of God The world may hate me now But they first hated You Father, forgive them They know not what they do They can cut out my tongue They can gouge out my eyes They can tear out my heart They can burn me alive
