Rebel son
Born in the shadow
A fire in the hollow of night
You're the reason
That the angel's are singing
To terrified shepherd's tonight
Oh they did not know
And we don't still
That you came below
For your will fulfilled
Caused us to be saved
From ourselves and the grave
We will sing
To our rebel king
Rebel priest
Baptized in the river
By the one who you soon would save
You loved the least
Like your own sons and daughters
Like your blood flowed through their veins
Rebel love
That raises the standard
Changes our hearts from within
You are above
Sickness couldn't touch you
You healed us out and within
Oh we did not know
And we don't still
That you came below
For your will fulfilled
Caused us to be saved
From ourselves and the grave
We will sing
To our rebel king
Rebel king
betrayed by a brother
Led out like a lamb to be slain
Torn skin
Until you didn't look human
You bore our shame and our pain
Without sin
You were tried as a rebel
Innocent and you bore our shame
We thought you'd win
But you died like a rebel
Bearing our sin and our shame
Every curse and blow
Every blood drop spilled
Oh the thorn torn brow
Oh the life I killed
But then death rebelled
And the grave did too
As the dead broke free
By your death renewed
And your life cries out
In our very souls
Destroying our doubt
Making broken whole
Let my heart of hearts
And my songs now sing
Lifting holy hands
To my rebel king
I've been blessed to know
And be in your will
Let my life be yours
For your will fulfilled
To be saved and save
From sin and grave
Until my life sings
To my rebel king
