LYRIC SHEET

“ANSWER THIS”

CHORUS

LOOKING THROUGH SCRIPTURE, I SEEMED TO NOTICE

MANY WERE TORMENTED FOR ALL THE RIGHT MOTIVES

THEY DID NOTHING EXCEPT SERVE GOD

YET IN STILL THEY HAD TO SUFFER, TO MANY THAT SEEMS ODD

BUT IT SEEMS NOW WE TAKE FOR GRANTITE THE FACT

SERVING GOD WITHOUT RISKING PHYSICAL ATTACK

BUT ASK YOURSELF LIKE THEM, COULD I TAKE THE RISK

IF YOU SAID THAT YOU COULD, THEN YOU MUST ANSWER THIS

VERSE 1

WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT BEING ARRESTED

EVERYTHING YOU SAY ABOUT GOD PEOPLE CONTEST IT

WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT BEING FED TO LIONS

BUT THEY COULDN’T EAT YOU AS HARD AS THEY KEPT TRYING

WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT GIVING OFFERINGS WITH LOVE

BUT FROM ENVY KILLED BY YOUR OWN FLESH AND BLOOD

WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT BEING PERSECUTED

PREACHING CHRIST IS THE ANSWER, BUT EVERYTIME IT’S DISPUTED

WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT BEING PUT IN A PRISON

WHERE PRAISING AND PREACHING TO SINNERS WAS PART OF THE MISSION

WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT SUFFERING SPIRITUAL

RIDICULE AND BEAT FOR PERFORMING MIRACLES

WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT BEING THROWN IN A FURNACE

SAYING BECAUSE WE WORSHIP OUR GOD YOU WANNA BURN US

A HEDGE OF FIRE AROUND YOUR EVERY INCH

YET IN STILL, YOU WERE NOT CONSUMED OR HAD A STINCH

CHORUS

VERSE 2

WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT BEING STONED AND KILLED

BY SINNERS THAT HATE YOU BECAUSE YOU’RE SPIRIT FILLED

WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT BEING VICTIMIZED

AND ARRESTED AND KILLED JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE CIRCUMCISED

WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT BEING BEHEADED

FOR WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT GOD, WOULD YOU STILL SAY YEAH, I SAID IT

WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT HAVING YOUR BABY SLAIN

BY SOMEONE WHO SUPPRESSING YOUR NATION WAS HIS AIM

WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT SOMEONE’S WRATH AND ANGER

WANTS TO KILL YOU CAUSE GOD SHOWS YOU FAVOR

WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT HAVING ALL YOUR FRIENDS

SCORN YOU BECAUSE YOU’D RATHER TRUST GOD UNTIL THE END

WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT BEING SENT AWAY

TO ANOTHER ISLAND, IMPRISONED FOR THE REST OF YOUR DAYS

BUT THROUGHT IT ALL, YOU STILL KEPT YOUR SALVATION

AND RELATION WITH GOD AS HE GAVE YOU A REVELATION

CHORUS

VERSE 3

WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT PREACHING ABOUT CHRIST

IN A FOREIGN LAND TO YOU, CONSTANTLY RISKING YOUR LIFE

WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT CONSTANT PAIN AND

STONED AND LEFT FOR DEAD FOR HEALING A LAME MAN

WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT GETTING BEAT AND WHIPPED

UNRECOGNIZABLE FROM ALL THE TIMES YOU’RE HIT

WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT TORTURE FROM A NAIL

HAMMERED THROUGH YOUR HANDS AND YOUR FEET, BUT NEVER YELL

WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT THORNS IN YOUR FLESH

PIERCED IN YOUR SIDE WHILE OTHERS ENJOY YOUR DEATH

WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT BLEEDING TO DIE SLOW

LAYING YOUR LIFE DOWN FOR PEOPLE YOU DON’T KNOW

WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT KNOWING YOU’RE GONNA DIE

BUT ENDURING IT, WITHOUT CONSTANTLY ASKING WHY

OR QUESTIONING WHY TO YOU THESE THINGS WERE DEALT

WITH THE POWER TO STOP IT, NEVER CALLED ANGELS FOR HELP

CHORUS
