Offence is a luxury

As I lean upon your chest

I feel assured

You’re the peace and Sabbath rest I so adore

So when people accuse me

Or if their words abuse me

And I wonder if there’ll be much more …..

In your grace, I find the power to forgive

Whoever hurt me, whatever crime they did

For though it was offending

There’s freedom in repenting

For I know my misplaced pride was the cause

Lion of Judah

How you cover me

And defend me with your golden velvet paws

Oh Yeshua

How you smother me

With kisses of pure honey being outpoured

I just snuggle in your love for me

Cos offence is a luxury

I can’t afford

Sometimes, actions people do just don’t add up

Though they rabbit on about the Saviour’s love

But as your blood, I now apply

Satan’s access is denied

His sticks and stones are no match for my great sword !!

Confusion comes from words that people say

Cos they don’t know if it’s night or if it’s day

But whatever comes along

In my weakness,

I am strong

Whether ridiculed, rejected or ignored

Lion of Judah

How you cover me

And defend me with your golden velvet paws

Oh Yeshua

How you smother me

With kisses of pure honey being outpoured

I just snuggle in your love for me

Cos offence is a luxury

I can’t afford
