The Battered (Stephen) Lyrics

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
