Pariah

They said He could walk on water
And heal anyone who suffered
He was a prophet without honor
In His hometown

He broke bread and fed the thousands
Exposed the truth to those around Him
He was a teacher who was not welcome
In the righteous crowd
Righteous crowd

Wise Man painted as a fool
The Word that broke the rules

Royalty treated like a criminal
Prince of Peace, overcoming wars of the world
Son of God, living like the least of us
He died a pariah (-iah, -iah)
Raised to life, the Messiah

He made no sound while they accused Him
Stayed down while they mocked and bruised Him
He was abandoned by those He trusted
And left to die
And left to die

One day they hailed Him as a king
Then they nailed Him to a tree

Royalty treated like a criminal (Treated like a criminal)
Prince of Peace, overcoming wars of the world (Overcoming wars of the world)
Son of God, living like the least of us (Living like the least of us)
He died a pariah (He died a pariah, -iah)
Raised to life, the Messiah

And do you need a healer who knows your pain?
Do you need a real friend who won't go away, yeah?
Do you need a savior who will do what it takes?
He knew the price to pay, but He did it anyway (He did it anyway)

Royalty treated like a criminal (Treated like a criminal)
Prince of Peace, overcoming wars of the world (Overcoming wars of the world)
Son of God, living like the least of us (Living like the least of us)
He died a pariah (He died a pariah, -iah)
Raised to life (Died a pariah)
Raised to life (Died a pariah)
Raised to life, the Messiah
