Scandalon

The seers and the prophets
Had foretold it long ago
That the long "Awaited One"
Would make men stumble
But they were looking for a king
To conquer and to kill
Who'd have ever thought He'd be
So meek and humble

He will be the Truth
That will offend them one and all
A stone that makes men stumble
And a rock that makes them fall
And many will be broken
So that He can make them whole
And many will be crushed
And lose their own soul

Along the path of life
There lied the stubborn Scandalon
And all who come this way
Must be offended
To some He is a barrier
To others He's the way
For all should know
The scandal of believing

He will be the Truth
That will offend them one and all
A stone that makes men stumble
And a rock that makes them fall
And many will be broken
So that He can make them whole
And many will be crushed
And lose their own soul

It seems today the Scandalon
Offends no one at all
The image we present
Can be stepped over
Could it be that we are like
The others long ago
Will we ever learn
That all who come must stumble

He will be the Truth
That will offend them one and all
A stone that makes men stumble
And a rock that makes them fall
And many will be broken
So that He can make them whole
And many will be crushed
And lose their own soul

He will be the Truth
That will offend them one and all
A stone that makes men stumble
And a rock that makes them fall
And many will be broken
So that He can make them whole
And many will be crushed
And lose their own soul
