Judge them not, Father, for their sin." (Acts 7:54-60)
And so the story of the church begins
These hearts of fire
Don't want no water
Blood of the martyrs
Lambs to the slaughter
See them standing before the throne
Dressed in garments of white (Rev 6:11)
Angels singing "Hallelujah"
On their heads He placed a crown (Rev 2:10)
On their heads He placed a crown
These hearts of fire
Don't want no water
Blood of the martyrs
Lambs to the slaughter
