King of contradictions Lyrics

How does a man named Jesus

Without an army or a crown

No wars or works of genius

Still turn the cosmos upside down

How could the God of ages

Clothed in awesome majesty

Step into these earthly stages

And take on our humanity

Oh and how could I receive You

If first You had not chosen me

And yet Your word leads me to

Believe that I believed freely

Oh Jesus King of contradictions

Help me in my unbelief

How does a blameless teacher

No sin or scandal to His name

Submit to cruel procedures

And cede to take a robber's place

How could a criminal's cross

Where You gave Your final breath

Become the proof that evil lost

The moment that You conquered death

Oh and how could I receive You

If first You had not chosen me

And yet Your word leads me to

Believe that I believed freely

Oh Jesus King of contradictions

Help me in my unbelief

How can the hands of Jesus

Open where there once were nails

Be the very hands that hold me

Closed from all of hell's assails

Oh and how could I receive You

If first You had not chosen me

And yet Your word leads me to

Believe that I believed freely

Oh Jesus Jesus

How could I receive You

If first You had not chosen me

And yet Your word leads me to

Believe that I believed freely

Oh Jesus King of contradictions

Help me in my unbelief

Oh Jesus King of contradictions

Help me in my unbelief
