Ross King Only Side I Take
[Chorus]
The hand I hold is a hand with a hole
In the shape of a nine inch spike
And I bow at the feet that were bound to a tree
By a love that redeemed my life
Can′t pledge my loyalty to you
It's already been promised to
The side that was pierced by a spear for my sake
And that′s the only side I take
[Verse 1]
You can try to recruit me
Put the fear in my news feed
Tell me all that I'm losing
If I let the wrong side win
You can try to persuade me
To hate the ones who hate me
Promise me you can save me
If I join the tribe you're in
[Pre-Chorus]
But I should probably warn you
That would be a waste of time
I′m already taken
I cannot take your side
[Chorus]
The hand I hold is a hand with a hole
In the shape of a nine inch spike
And I bow at the feet that were bound to a tree
By a love that redeemed my life
Can′t pledge my loyalty to you
It's already been promised to the side
The side that was pierced by a spear for my sake
And that′s the only side I take
[Verse 2]
If you want my allegiance
You're gonna have to compete with
The resurrected Jesus
Who went against death and came out undefeated
And we can try to replace Him
With whatever we put our faith in
But every other foundation
Will cave in, that′s why I keep on sayin'
[Chorus]
The hand I hold is a hand with a hole
In the shape of a nine inch spike
And I bow at the feet that were bound to a tree
By a love that redeemed my life
Can′t pledge my loyalty to you
It's already been promised
The side that was pierced by a spear for my sake
And that′s the only side I take
[Bridge]
Even when Jesus is hard to believe in
He′s more believable than what they′re selling me
Even when Jesus is hard to agree with
There's a fire in my soul
That keeps compelling me
Zealously securing my fidelity
[Chorus]
The hand I hold is a hand with a hole
In the shape of a nine inch spike
And I bow at the feet that were bound to a tree
By a love that redeemed my life
Can′t pledge my loyalty to you
It's already been promised to
The side that was pierced by a spear for my sake
And that′s the only side I take, oh-oh
[Outro]
That's the only side I take
(The only side I take)
The only side I take
