"NOBLE CONTRADICTION" Lyrics by Peter Merz and Blair Byron MacLean Music by Peter Merz Arrangement by Wayne Bowers Pharisee of Pharisees Stop those Christians at any cost 'Cause it's law over mercy You led the enemies of the cross One moment breathing threats Of death and arrest But on the road to Damascus It all changed when you saw the Lord Chorus: A Noble Contradiction When Saul became Paul When show them no mercy Was tempered by grace A Noble Contradiction When Saul became Paul And Stephen's opponent Stood up in his place A most Noble Contradiction A most Noble Contradiction A most Noble Contradiction Messenger of Christ Jesus Love all sinners at any cost Teaching grace to the least of us And die knowing what your Savior bought To think that you would embrace That which you hated most It seemed so unlikely When that occurred jaws must have dropped Repeat Chorus Bridge: Oh Saul, convinced you were Hit man for God the Father You always had an offer Those Christians couldn't refuse Oh Paul, look at you now You say love one another The Rabbis at the Temple wonder Just what happened to you? Repeat Chorus Tag: Saul you are a most Noble Noble contradiction ©2009, 2012 Scribe And Sage Music (BMI). All Rights Reserved.
