once in a lifetime you get a chance
to test the shield against the lance
they call you extremist, they call you martyr
but you know that you can't walk on water
some people find it to hard to believe
in a persons resolve to reside with a diety
but don't you worry, you'll find love
with a mercy loving creator up above
and don't you call me perfect
don't you call me stained
I'm just forgiven
of all my past mistakes
I'm just a martyr
waiting to be stoned
That noise is the clash of sinew and bone
Some people find it too hard to believe
That from the start Jesus set me free
He was there for me when friends let me be
He was there every time I OD'ed
Don't let the mockers bring you down
Some day you'll wear a robe and a crown
I know it's hard to turn the other cheek
But he is strong wherever you are weak
And don't you call me perfect
Don't you call me stained
I'm just forgiven
For all my past mistakes
I'm just a martyr
waiting to be stoned
That noise is the clash of sinew and bone
And don't you call me perfect
Don't you call me stained
I'm just forgiven
for all my past mistakes
I'm just a martyr
waiting to be stoned
That noise is the clash of sinew and bone
