Jacob Bell - Cruelty

Cruelty
That's you and me
You think I'm wrong
You've been deceived
You live your life
Going 'bout your day
Catching butterflies
Dreaming of rainbows in the May
But you would go
And crush its wings
Crush it's dreams
Because it's beauty was so great
You think your gentle
It's all submental
Sinner at birth
Entitled claim to naïve worth
So innocent
So negligent
You think it's fine
That's a waste of time

Cruelty, Cruelty, Cruelty
All you'll ever cause is
Cruelty, Cruelty, Cruelty
All you'll ever be is

All those good works hope they make you proud and feel helpful
Hope you realize that your faith is what's essential
But your faith has lost its place along the road in some way
Walking up Golgotha shoulders back with a smirking face
Laughing at this homeless man they call Jesus
Like is this really the person that could lead us?
He's got a limp I broke his legs
Back is bleeding I whipped to red
My hands are stained stained with blood
My heart and spirit out of touch
Before I did this he told me he'd die for me
How could I perform such cruelty that's you and me

Cruelty, Cruelty, Cruelty
All you'll ever cause is
Cruelty, Cruelty, Cruelty
All you'll ever be is

You think your life is difficult like you want to die
Imagine taking life's true love and having Him crucified!
It ain't that easy once you realize that you placed him there
Thank you but we'll keep on sinning like who even cares
Excuse but your hands are stained care to wash it out?
No thank you I'll just cover it up and block it out
That's how cruelty persists in our common world
People scared to change their ways they only say they would
But Jesus came and offered us the chance to abide
He even prayed for those he loved before they pierced his side
And I can see why He walked the earth to be so kind
All he ever wanted was for me go and find

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
To be gentle like
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Be gentle like
Jesus
