Martyr Lyrics by Anna Owens

Ribs

2023

(Verse 1)
I have decided to choose the crown of thorns
I have drunk from the cup of which Jesus mourned
Onto my flesh His spirit has been poured
(Pre-Chorus)
I’ve been
Held to the fire of hatred
Lost a couple friends
I’ve felt burnt and jaded
My reputation thrown to the wind
(Chorus)
But no matter
How much I bleed
How much I weep
How lonely
How far into the deep
How many disown me
(After-Chorus)
'Cause out of the dirt I came
And into the dirt I’ll go
I’ll take my belief in You to the grave
To the grave
To thе grave
(Verse 2)
Thеy have picked their choice of weapon
My hands are empty but I’m not defenseless
‘Cause Your love and Your peace and Your kindness
(Repeat Pre-Chorus, Chorus, After-Chorus)
(Outro)
Won't You forgive them, Father
They know not what they do
Oh, they know not what they do
