Estêvão

Slandered, thrown aside and chased
Ignored, mistreated, never understood
He was a servant of God ready to speak
The truth that every ear wants to hear
Here comes Stephen, facing the crowd with great fury, everyone shouting

They can throw stones at me, they can even silence me
I die, I won't deny, I'm a servant, I'm a child, heaven is my place
They can come after me, they can plot against me
In the name of Jesus, I will carry my cross

Even while being stoned, Stephen worshiped
Feeling a lot of pain, to the Father, he spoke
Receive my spirit and do not condemn
And right at that moment, Stephen sighed
Even Saul's gaze turned to admiration
How can someone die for the work of a Lord?
Even those who persecute will understand in the end
It's worth being faithful, I know God will receive

I defeat giants and walk through the furnace
I can even kill a bear with the strength of Samson
I preach the truth to anyone who wants to hear
I'm an heir to heaven and I'll be there soon
And whoever dares or wants to intimidate me
I call on my Father, He comes to help me
I'm just another John the Baptist, and it hurts whoever it hurts
I'm not of this world, I'm the voice of God
