The Battered (Stephen)
by With Blood Comes Cleansing

Album: With Blood Comes Cleansing

Chorus
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

Verse 1
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

Breakdown
Cast from the city unjustly, ugh
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

Verse 2
Acting as an immovable force
For the sake of the gospel
Trusting in The Lord for salvation
Granted for his unshakable faith

Chorus
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
