On the road to damascus, under a burning sky
I held stones to stone the faithful, but my heart was far from right
A light so bright, it made the noonday Sun seem dim
Blinded, I fell, and heard a voice that pierced the hymn

From the killer to the servant, from the shadow to the flame
I traded all my status just to boast in Jesus' name
Oh, I love the savior's cross, and I love his holy bride
For the church of God I lived, and for the church I died

In the desert I wandered, seeking answers in despair
Pharisee to apostle, my path was now clear
I preached the gospel, spreading light like a beacon
In Christ's name, I fought, and nothing could stop me then

I heard a voice crying: Saul, why do you fight against me?
The scales fell from my eyes, and I could finally see
The one I was piercing was the king upon the throne
And from that blinding moment, my heart was his alone

From the killer to the servant, from the shadow to the flame
I traded all my status just to boast in Jesus' name
Oh, I love the savior's cross, and I love his holy bride
For the church of God I lived, and for the church I died
