Because of You

The whole world
Will hate me
And the Devil will, too,
For as long as I worship you.

Names they will call,
And jokes they will make.
But, because of you,
This I will take.

Fingers will point
And people will stare.
But, because of you,
I will not care.

I‘ll take their ridicule.
I‘ll stand their hate.
Because of You,
I know my eternal fate.

One day I will pass away,
And nothing will matter anymore.
Then You and I will go to heaven.
And we will see our Lord.
