Betrayed by a kiss
Then taken a prisoner
They sought a writ
To take to the governor

So they set up court
It was late at night
As they set forth
Me to indict

All along
They knew I was innocent
But like a lamb
I put up no defense

Since the world didn’t love me
They’re not gonna love you
Since the world didn’t love me
They’ll mistreat you too
For you are mine
And we are entwined
We share the same bloodline
We are one of a kind

Beaten and bruised
I felt the scourge of pain
Falsely accused
Still my course I maintained

There is no denying
The father’s truth
What was heaven defying
Is now an earthly pursuit

So I was hung on a cross
Paid the ultimate price
To transact the cost
For Heaven’s rights oooh

Since the world didn’t love me
They’re not gonna love you
Since the world didn’t love me
They’ll mistreat you too
For you are mine
And we are entwined
We share the same bloodline
We are one of a kind

Don’t be surprised
When the world hates you
When you’re despised
Your character they loot
Your enemy the devil
He first hated me
Oh he revels in the creation of enmity
