Brutal Romantic

My shepherd king You call to me Amidst my suffering You say "my dear Come away with me Into better things" Little did I know that I'm a brutal romantic Little did I know that I would hang you on a tree Creator God Who made the stars You called me to be A child of yours Inheritor The world was at our feet Little did I know that I would take it all for granted Little did I know that I would choose the dust and leave Little did I know that you'd call me "child and beloved" Little did I know that you'd still choose to rescue me I was meant to be the lamb upon the alter But Jesus you were there before I drew a breath You were beaten and bruised All for love How did I deserve this kind of friend? I was meant to be the lamb upon the alter But Jesus you were there before I drew a breath You were beaten and bruised All for love How did I deserve this kind of friend? You took my guilt You took my shame And nailed it to a tree You bled and then you died and then you rose again for me Oh little did I know that you're a brutal romantic Little did I know that you're a brutal romantic Little did I know that you're a brutal romantic Little did I know that you're a brutal romantic And you saved me
