Cruelty

Cruelty That's you and me You think I'm wrong You've been deceived You live your life Going 'bout your day Catching butterflies Dreaming of rainbows in the May But you would go And crush its wings Crush it's dreams Because it's beauty was so great You think your gentle It's all submental Sinner at birth Entitled claim to naïve worth So innocent So negligent You think it's fine That's a waste of time Cruelty, Cruelty, Cruelty All you'll ever cause is Cruelty, Cruelty, Cruelty All you'll ever be is All those good works hope they make you proud and feel helpful Hope you realize that your faith is what's essential But your faith has lost its place along the road in some way Walking up Golgotha shoulders back with a smirking face Laughing at this homeless man they call Jesus Like is this really the person that could lead us? He's got a limp I broke his legs Back is bleeding I whipped to red My hands are stained stained with blood My heart and spirit out of touch Before I did this he told me he'd die for me How could I perform such cruelty that's you and me Cruelty, Cruelty, Cruelty All you'll ever cause is Cruelty, Cruelty, Cruelty All you'll ever be is You think your life is difficult like you want to die Imagine taking life's true love and having Him crucified! It ain't that easy once you realize that you placed him there Thank you but we'll keep on sinning like who even cares Excuse but your hands are stained care to wash it out? No thank you I'll just cover it up and block it out That's how cruelty persists in our common world People scared to change their ways they only say they would But Jesus came and offered us the chance to abide He even prayed for those he loved before they pierced his side And I can see why He walked the earth to be so kind All he ever wanted was for me go and find Jesus, Jesus, Jesus To be gentle like Jesus, Jesus, Jesus Be gentle like Jesus
