Lyrics
Even If the World Hates You
Verse 1:
Dark clouds above my head as I passed through the storm,
Fed with their lies and hatred, blinded by this wicked world.
Lost in a tunnel of tears with no light in sight,
I had to call on Your name.
Jesus, Your name has saved my broken soul;
There is power in Your name.
Chorus:
If I don't praise You, the oceans will still roar, O Lord;
The rocks and clouds will sing to Your holy Name.
If the world hates You, I am here -- hold my hand, dear Lord;
Do as You will, I'll sing to Your glory, Lord.
Verse 2:
Lord, I call upon Your name, for You have borne my shame;
Take my heart and my soul -- Lord, accept my praise.
I can't live without Your love; consume me with Your flame.
You're my Rock and my Song -- Lord, You are my strength. *Chorus*
Bridge:
Knowing my weakness, Lord, You died upon the cross for me;
Seeing my heart, O Lord, You made me Your chosen one.
To show Your love, dear Lord, You bore all the blame for me;
And on the third day, Lord, You rose and gave me victory. *Chorus*
