more

they say i'm crazy and i'm a fool
and they're the ones that say they know You, too
but i can't take it; i must refuse
if i became like one of them, i'd only lose

i read the scriptures, pray to Jesus, sing the hymns of bliss
i cannot fight the feeling that there's something more than this

they say i'm angry and judgemental
they say i've got a demon, i'm out of control
but i have watched them and what they say
their words come flying out without a thought of yesterday

i try to live in unity and honor every wish
i cannot fight the feeling that there's something more than this

nothing ventured, nothing gained
without shelter, feel the rain
Jesus came to set you free
from the bondage of man's reality

i walk along this narrow road in scorn and loneliness
i cannot fight the feeling that there's something more than this

nothing ventured, nothing gained
without shelter, feel the rain
Jesus came to set you free
from the bondage of man's reality

so i can't please them--i know, i've tried
but You're still with me, Jesus, you've stayed right by my side

why is it so much different now than back when you first came?
seems like the ones who call on you only disgrace Your name
