You are the empire

The Promised Land beneath my feet

The contrast

That offends my firm theology

We tried to fit Your ways

In the boxes humans made

So either You're a heretic

Or You're the Son of God

You are the relapse

Of quiet streams and greener paths

The footnotes

Of ancient words our language lacks

We can scribble out the notes

In the books that Your friends wrote

'Cause either everyone's a heretic

Or they've heard the voice of God

Oh, offend my mind so that I can know You more

And break my heart so it looks more like Yours

Offend my mind so that I can know You more

Offend my mind, offend my mind

You are the contrast

Of tender word and a stomach leap

The constant

Offending Greek mythology

Capitalize the g

In the name of He who bleeds

You really resurrect me

Tell me directly

Am I just a modern Pharisee?

Do my thoughts scream a renewed mind or just words I speak

And if You walk into my home

And You make Your glory known

Will my tears soak Your feet

Or would I crucify You?

Oh, offend my mind so that I can know You more

And break my heart so it looks more like Yours

Offend my mind so that I can know You more

Offend my mind

Oh, offend my mind so that I can know You more

And break my heart so it looks more like Yours

Offend my mind so that I can know You more

Offend my mind

Ooh, Prophet and a Priest

Crucify my disbelief

The Diviner reminds me of the hope inside me

Ooh, Counter of the stars

Resurrect my broken heart

The contrast soothes my mind

You're the earth that I reside in

I break the rules, You break the silence

I see the power in Your eyes

You're glorious, I'm terrified

Grain of sand upon an island

Real estate inside Your eyelids

I'm a tooth inside the smile

I'm a soul You reconcile

Would You offend my mind, offend my mind

offend my mind, offend my mind?

Would You offend my mind, offend my mind oh?

Offend my mind so that I can know You more

And break my heart so it looks more like Yours

Offend my mind so that I can know You more

Offend my mind

Oh, offend my mind so that I can know You more

And break my heart so it looks more like Yours

Offend my mind so that I can know You more

Offend my mind, offend my mind
