I Pledge Allegiance To The Lamb Lyrics

I Pledge Allegiance To The Lamb lyrics

(conversation between father and son)
Dad, has it always been this
way?
Well, even from the beginning men hated Jesus
Even thought he did
nothing but love them
And teach them and heal them.
They nailed him to a
cross.
They thought they had killed Him, but they only set him free
To
live in the hearts of people like you and me who believe in Him.
Then came
the apostles and most of them were killed 
For telling other people about
Jesus.
So they tortured them and killed them 
And even left their bodies
to rot as an example to other people,
But the church kept right on
growing
Watered by the blood of these precious Saints.
But Dad, Did they
want to die?
No.  They didn't want to die.  I mean, many of them had
children
Just like you they had to leave behind.
But they were forced to
make a choice.
They could choose to live this one life here on earth and
reject Jesus
And be dambed or they could to believe in the words of
Jesus
And live forever.
I think I understand.
Here, maybe this will
help you understand.

I have heard how christians long ago
Were
brought before a tyrants throne
And they were told that he would spare their
lives
If they would renounce the name of Christ.
But one by one they chose
to die
The Son of God they would not deny
Like a great angelic choir
sings
I can almost hear their voices ring.

CHOURS:
I pledge
allegiance to the Lamb
With all my strengh
With all I am
I will seek
to honor His command
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb.

Now the years
have come and the years have gone
But the cause of Jesus still goes
on
And now our time has come to count the cost
To reject this world, and
embrace the cross
And one by one let us live our lives
For the One who
died to give us life.
Till the trumpet sounds on the final day
Let us
proudly stand and boldly say

REPEAT CHORUS:

To the Lamb of God
who bore my pain
Who took my place, Who wore my shame.
I will seek to
honor His commands
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb.

(converstation
between father and son continues)
You've got to remember the it wasn't
always this way.
I mean, my dad could even pray in school.
Of course,
they took that away from him.
Then it became uncorrect for us to believe in
the Bible
And after that they just stripped our right to worship away from
us
And we quietly stood by.
But son, I hope that you're never in the
position
That you have to choose between your faith and your life.
But if
you are - I know which choice you're going to make
Because I know that Jesus
lives inside of you.
In the meantime, just pray like I taught you to
And
take care of your mom
And remember that God is the Father of the
fatherless.

REPEAT CHORUS:
(three times)
