[ApologetiX - People lyrics]
James was caught by Herod
Herod captured Peter
They were sharin' Herod's outbreak
Of attacks upon believers
James would have to face the sword
And Peter would escape it
They were not afraid of dyin' they both
Knew that they could take it
Thomas preached in Babylon and
India they claim
Then the local folks impaled him with
A lance while he was prayin'
They were all about to die but
They weren't thinking much about it
And their story didn't have a chance
But none of 'em were doubtin'
Why oh why would someone die if
It was just a hoax?
Why then take the awful risk
To tell us Jesus rose?
Simple men from Galilee would
Not have spoken lies
To get enrolled in history books
As martyrs for Jesus Christ
Simon died along with Jude from arrows
Spears or crosses someone gave Bartholomew a
Skin-removal process
Some of them were stoned alive like
James the son of Alphaeus
And their stories are the evidence that
None of them were doubters
Why oh why would someone die if
It was just a hoax?
Why then take the awful risk
To tell us Jesus rose?
Simple men like you and me
Would not have spoken lies
To get well known in all the
Books as martyrs for Jesus Christ
A lot of guys were crucified
For calling Him Messiah
Philip died and Andrew did
And possibly Matthias
Peter's was a most unpleasant
Death for being Christian
They would turn him upside down and
Then go through with crucifixion
Paul he was beheaded probl'y
Matthew did the same
Well, they threw off of the temple
Top the other guy named James
They were all about to die but
They weren't thinking much about it
That's a gorey bunch of evidence that
None of them were doubters
Why oh why would someone die if
It was just a hoax?
Why then take the awful risk
To tell us Jesus rose?
Simple men from Galilee would
Not have spoken lies
To get enrolled in history books
As martyrs for Jesus Christ
