Secret Ambition Lyrics - Singles - Michael W. Smith

Young man, up on the hillside 

Teaching new ways 

Each word, winning them over 

Each heart a kindled flame 

Old men, watch from the outside 

Guarding their prey 

Threated by the voice of a paragon 

Leading their lambs away 

Leading them far away 

Nobody knew His secret ambition 

Nobody knew His claim to fame 

He broke the old rules steeped in tradition 

He tore the holy veil away 

Questioning those in powerful positions 

Running to those who called His name 

But nobody knew His secret ambition 

Was to give His life away

His rage, shaking the temple 

His word to the wise 

His hand, healing on the seventh day 

His love wearing no disguise 

Some say, death to the radical 

He's way out of line 

Some say, praised be the miracle 

God sends a blessed sign 

A blessed sign for troubled times 

Nobody knew His secret ambition 

Nobody knew His claim to fame 

He broke the old rules steeped in tradition 

He tore the holy veil away 

Questioning those in powerful positions 

Running to those who called His name 

But nobody knew His secret ambition 

Was to give His life away...

Ohh... Oh... Oh... 

Nobody knew His secret ambition 

Nobody knew His claim to fame 

He broke the old rules steeped in tradition 

He tore the holy veil away 

Questioning those in powerful positions 

Running to those who called His name 

But nobody knew His secret ambition 

Was to give His life away 

Oooohh... 

No, no, no, no 

I tell you nobody knew 

Until He gave His life away 

No!
