Scandalon Lyrics - Card Michael

Michael Card 

The seers and the prophets had foretold it long ago 

That the long awaited one would make men stumble 

But they were looking for a king to conquer and to kill 

Who'd have ever thought He'd be so weak and humble 

Chorus 

He will be the truth that will offend them one and all 

A stone that makes men stumble 

And a rock that makes them fall 

Many will be broken so that He can make them whole 

And many will be crushed and lose their own soul 

Along the path of life there lies a stubborn Scandalon 

And all who come this way must be offended 

To some He is a barrier, To others He's the way 

For all should know the scandal of believing 

Chorus 

It seems today the Scandalon offends no one at all 

The image we present can be stepped over 

Could it be that we are like the others long ago 

Will we ever learn that all who come must stumble 

Repeat Chorus
