Against the World

Lyrics: [Intro] The world doesn’t hate you ‘cause you fake, it hates you ‘cause you follow me. [Verse 1] If the world hated you, know that it hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. [Chorus 1] Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endures to the end shall be saved. [Verse 2} I ain’t here to conform, I ain't playin’ their game, Renewed in the mind, got fire in my frame. They friends with the world, but I’m marked by the King, If you love what He hates, you deny everything. Ain’t no middle ground — pick a side in this war, You either bow to the Lamb or lie dead on the floor. I’m chosen, out the world, now the target is me, But I’d rather face hate than bow to deceit. [Bridge 1] Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you... for the Son of man's sake. Rejoice… your reward is great in heaven. [Verse 3] Suffering, pain, and all accursed — our blood spilled. We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. We are troubled on every side, Always bearing the weight of our Lord’s dying body. [Verse 4] I was not made to blend, I was born to stand, Not chasing man's praise, I obey God’s command. Let the world beat my bones, burn my flesh, I’ll still speak truth in through my dying screams. Our falling heads will mark our Truth. We shall bleed, our own cross impaling us. — I bear His name. They can mock, they can exile, they can try to erase, But I’ll never bow down, I’m sealed by God alone. [Outro] So.... Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
