They made of their ignorance a god

And its name was pride

They tore at us

And tried in vain

To destroy our ministry

As we suffered long

In and for our faith

To learn the true depth and meaning

Of God's purpose

 God's sacrifice

We broke bread

And drank wine with Christ

In fellowship with His body

His blood

His unspeakable gentleness

And joy

To make holy and acceptable

That which was given us

By His mercy

To sustain and enrich

Both the flesh and spirit

Of His heaven-on-earth kingdom

Scorned

Robbed

Spat upon

And abused

For the sake of God's will

Were we

By the goons of ignorance

And complacency

  But now it is they

In their shameful defeat

Who have no place to hide

On the field of the losing side

Watching

Dumbfounded

As we round the bases

On our way home to glory

And the scoring of the winning run

So it was with we who prayed

Waited

And won another glorious victory

With God

And for His love

In the precious name of our Redeemer

Jesus Christ
