Rebels

 

We are rebels- sons of anarchy

Sons of disobedience and bearers of the penalty

Fugitives from justice- we flaunt our fatal flaw

Seeking in all the wrong places for freedom from the law

 

A heavy coat of misery a great garrison of guilt

Heavy laden with the burdens of which its walls are built

While the word of God and the will of God tells our hearts to submit

We are disobedient children- we will have none of it

 

But God has brought salvation to those who won't rebel

Those who hate His command- He'll not save From death or Hell

 

For the highest happiness -and freedom's blessedness

Are found in obedience to the Lord- To delight in following His word

 

He is Lord and Christ and Saviour- there is no division in Him
