Hated

[Verse 1]
I'm a-walking in a land where keepin' Your commands
Gets backs turned on me
I'm jugglin' wills, it's my flesh I wanna kill
But then the world won't want me

[Pre-Chorus]
Like a prodigal son, You let me run
But somehow You knew
At the end of the day, the applause would fade
And I'd run back to the truth

[Chorus]
Bein' loved by the world is overrated
I think I'd rather be hated for lovin' You

[Verse 2]
You say in this meantime, I should set my mind
On the things above
Where my forever is, where my treasure is
Where I measure up

[Pre-Chorus]
So I'm tradin' in this chasin' the wind just to walk with You
Let 'em throw their stones, I won't be alone
No, this won't be nothin' new

[Chorus]
'Cause bein' loved by the world is overrated
I think I'd rather be hated for lovin' You

[Bridge]
Who loved me first
Like nothin' here on Earth?

[Chorus]
Bein' loved by the world is overrated, so overrated
I think I'd rather be hated for lovin' You, oh, yes
Lord, I don't mind bein' hated for lovin' You
For lovin' You
