Lyrics

Stealing God
Mark Elliott/ Jeff Middleton

You taught your boy to wear a bomb
Strapped across his heart
Then you put him on a downtown bus to blow it all apart
You told him when it?s over he?d earn great reward
A place reserved in paradise because it?s a holy war

Oh the things we do
In the name of what we claim is true
You wrap yourself in righteous pride
And say your sins are sanctified
I say you?re stealing God

You hung him on a fence post
Cause you couldn?t understand
How a guy who looked a lot like you could love another man
Then you sat in church on Sunday listening to the word
You say you love thy neighbor but that boy got what he deserved

Repeat Chorus

Who are we to take that perfect love and twist it into hate
For all that we?ve been given, that isn?t ours to take

Repeat Chorus
