Slave of the Pierced Ear
Christ, he is my guarantor
I couldn't pay, he paid for me
It was for his love
That I was redeemed
No, he didn't charge me anything
That's why I'm a slave of the pierced ear
I will live for him
I am a prisoner of Christ in his love
While in the world many live
The life they asked God for
I decided to live the life that God asked of me
Because the gospel of the cross is still foolishness
To those who perish, but it is the power of God
For those who believe in the Son
The gospel of the cross is still foolishness
To those who perish, but it is the power of God
For those who believe in the Son
He did not come to bring peace, the prince of peace
He came to bring a sword!
He did not come to bring peace, the prince of peace
He came to bring a sword!
He did not come to bring peace, the prince of peace
He came to bring a sword!
It is the counter-culture of the Kingdom of God
That has manifested and is yet to come
Like a father
Who takes out of his treasure
Old things
New things
Like a merchant seeking precious pearls
And upon finding, sells everything, everything, everything he has
To acquire the one of greater value
It is like yeast that leavens the whole dough
It is not food or drink
But, in the Spirit, peace, justice, and joy
And to obtain it one must strive
To be like a child
Humble in spirit to fulfill
The beatitude
Christ is my guarantor I couldn't pay
He paid for me
It was by His love
That I was redeemed
No! He didn't charge me anything
That's why I'm a slave of the pierced ear
I will live for Him
I am a prisoner of Christ in his love
