Stained Glass

I'm called into the kingdom
I would give forever just to be a son of God
And praise His holy name
But now I'm on the outside
Feeling like sincerity I lived
Was just a lie they sold and all my love's in vain

These years passed, I'm left here in disgrace
Abandoned and used, I sang your songs
Now all I hear are lies
Through stained glass, I've found a sacred space
Now my love is renewed
In truth, I can leave all your poisonous pulpits behind

These words I once loved but now I despise
You were like a father to me
But you're like the father of lies
Father of lies

These years passed, I'm left here in disgrace
Abandoned and used, tread upon by these serpents in their pride
Through stained glass, I've found a sacred space
Where my love is renewed in truth
I can leave all your poisonous pulpits behind

Bite down
Hold your tongue, you speak the lies of the damned
Self-righteous charlatan

I won't stand for your hypocrisy
No more deception from reality

Like shards of broken glass
We'll break through

Shatter the lies and be made new
All good things are found in You

Through stained glass
I see
Through stained glass
I still see

Through stained glass
I see again
I'm free again
Through stained glass
I see again
I'm free again
