When they took him like a common criminal, they threw the book at him,
He let them have their way, 'cause to bring us back to him it had to happen that way.

He never ran away,
He never was ashamed to call me by my name,
Now it's not the same, since I looked at things that way,
Now I'm proud to say I love God, (love God)
I love God. (love God)

When he died, he was bleeding from a cross as if he'd killed and lied,
He loved us, came to serve, and his love for us drove him to a death he didn't deserve.

He never ran away,
He never was ashamed to call me by my name,
Now it's not the same, since I looked at things that way,
Now I'm proud to say I love God, (love God)
I love God. (love God)

And, when he comes, are you gonna be afraid or rejoice to see the day?
Now it's done, he went full on for you,
Tell me, what are you gonna do?

He never ran away,
He never was ashamed to call me by my name,
Now it's not the same, since I looked at things that way,
Now I'm proud to say I love God, (love God)
I love God, (love God)
I love God, (love God)
Love God. (love God)
I love God, (love God)
Love God. (love God)
