The Battered (Stephen)

Sharing the holy word of Christ
With those who sent Him to death
Strong in the midst of adversity
Stephen the saint sought life
Through his brave endurance

Sharing the holy word of Christ
With those who sent Him to death
Strong in the midst of adversity
Stephen the saint sought life
Through his brave endurance

Denouncing the Jewish leaders' lies
Their beliefs contrary to the truth
Standing strong for the knowledge of Christ
Ready to lay down his life

Acting as an immovable force
For the sake of the gospel
Trusting in The Lord for salvation
Granted for his unshakable faith

Cast from the city unjustly
Accused of blasphemy
He was sentenced to death
By pelting and stoning

Brutally pelted with unrelenting force
The stones bashed and they bruised without end
Crushing the bones beneath his peeling flesh
The light in his eyes fades as he takes his dying breath

The light in his eyes fades as he dies
The light in his eyes fades as he dies

Acting as an immovable force
For the sake of the gospel
Trusting in The Lord for salvation
Granted for his unshakable faith

Sharing the holy word of Christ
With those who sent Him to death
Strong in the midst of adversity
Stephen the saint sought life
Through his brave endurance

Sharing the holy word of Christ
With those who sent Him to death
Strong in the midst of adversity
Stephen the saint sought life
Through his brave endurance
