josh-m - i never said that lyrics

behold my hands and my feet
that it is i, myself
handle me and see for a spirit i’ve not flesh & bones as you see me have
i bled for love, not for your war cries
i rose for mercy not for your flags
you say it’s in my name but i never said that

you build your towers, raise your flags so high
preach my name with a battle cry
but blessed are “the peacemakers” that’s what i said
not “the ones who’d trade the living for the dead”
you close your doors when the poor come to plead
i was hungry and you gave me no food whеn i was in need
you pull my words to tighten your chains
but “love your enеmy” still remains

i never said hate them
i never said fight
i said let your light shine before all men, bring them light
if you do it for power
you’ve forgotten my face
for whatever you do to the least of these you’ll do to me

you guard your gold and curse the weak
but “the meek shall inherit the earth” i speak
you call them sinners while you stand tall
but let he without sin cast the first stone, that’s all
you pray in public with words rehe+rs+d
but “when you pray go in secret first”
you wave your cross like a sword in your hand
but i carried mine through the blood and the sand
i never said hate them
i never said fight
i said turn the other cheek and walk in the light
if you do it for power
you’ve forgotten my face
for whatever you do to the least of these you’ll do in my place

the last shall be first, and the first shall be last
but you’ve built your throne so make that past
no one can serve two masters, i told you plain
yet you still bow down to fortune and fame

i never said hate them
i never said fight
i said “love one another as i have loved you”, that’s right
you wear my name but not my grace
for i was the refugee you turned away
the migrant mother with no place to stay
for whatever you do to the least of these you do to me
for i was a stranger
and you didn’t take me in
