I Never Knew You
And I don't like to confront you
Behind the safety of a song
No, I don't have it all together
But I know you got this one wrong
'Cause when you hit your target
You shoot the frame of Heaven's art
And then you turn and cast the blame on
The crooked arrows that you shot
And is this how we're going down?
Because we're falling now with ease
Justifying all our vain legalities
And if we're honest with ourselves
Who are we really tryna please?
Will the death of love begin with you and me?
Oh
Ooh
Ooh
Another God-breathed soul
That you've condemned to Hell
Another hypocritical stone
That's been thrown at an angel
I can't believe what I'm seeing
Is what you're calling morality
Ooh, take a step back, realize that
Maybe you don't have to understand everything
And is this how we're going down?
Because we're falling now with ease
Justifying all our vain legalities
And if we're honest with ourselves
Who are we really tryna please?
Will the death of love begin with you and me, oh
Whoa, whoa
No, no, oh
And I sing because one day, you'll hear Him say
"I never knew you
You never loved the least of these, depart from Me
I never knew you
And you never really loved Me
'Cause in your pride, you abandoned those in need
I never knew you (I never knew you)
You never loved Me
You never loved the least of these, depart from Me
I never knew you (I never knew you)
And you never really loved me (Never loved me)
'Cause in your pride, you abandoned those in need
I never knew you (I never knew you)
Ooh, think of His words (You never loved me)
And how they hurt
Is it worth these petty laws?
Is it worth the pain we've caused? (I never knew you)
Oh (You never loved me)
Never loved me ('Cause in your pride)
Oh (You abandoned those in need)
You never loved them, you never loved Me
I never knew you
Never knew you
Never knew, I never knew
Ooh, ooh
Oh, oh (Yeah)
Ooh (Oh)
Behind the safety of a song
No, I don't have it all together
But I know you got this one wrong
'Cause when you hit your target
You shoot the frame of Heaven's art
And then you turn and cast the blame on
The crooked arrows that you shot
And is this how we're going down?
Because we're falling now with ease
Justifying all our vain legalities
And if we're honest with ourselves
Who are we really tryna please?
Will the death of love begin with you and me?
Oh
Ooh
Ooh
Another God-breathed soul
That you've condemned to Hell

Never knew, I never knew
Ooh, ooh
Oh, oh (Yeah)
Ooh (Oh)
