for the King

Oh, never have I ever felt this much dirt in my face
Oh, never have I ever heard this laughter from the grave
Oh, never have I ever bled out all my fight like this
And yet, the one I serve has never left me for dead
Cut me and break my bones
But you will never touch my soul
Go ahead, bury me down with the mustard seed (seed!)

Knock my knees to the ground
Right where I can pick back up my crown
I'm for the King, and the King's for me
Ooh, yeah, the King's for-
Me when I struggle just to picture what the light looks like

When I'm at war with hidden habits haunting me at night
But no better place to be than at my weakest on my knees
When I remember who I am and whose I am
And that He's called me
Cut me and break my bones but you will never touch my soul

Go ahead, bury me down with the mustard seed (seed!)
Knock my knees to the ground right where I can pick back up my crown
I'm for the King, and the King's for me
Ooh, yeah, the King's for-
I know the one who's fighting for me
So who could ever sin against me?
I know the one who's fighting for me
So try, try, try!

Cut me and break my bones but you will never touch my soul
Go ahead, bury me down with the mustard seed, seed!
Forget who I used to be, now
I'm locked in on He who lives in me, oh
I'm for the King, and the King's for me
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh, no, no
Da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da
