lyrics

In the year of our Lord 1417
Sir John Oldcastle died
He said the the word of God is greater than the church
So they burned him alive
And he prayed to God
Father, forgive them
Then the Father took him home

In the year of our Lord 36 or so
Stephen drew his last breath
He said the word of God is greater than the Jews
So they stoned him to death
And he prayed to God
Father, forgive them
Then the Father took him home

In the year when our Lord died upon a cross
We all hated what he said
He is the word of God who judges all our sin
So we wanted him dead
And he prayed to God
Father, forgive them
Then the Father turned away

In the year of our Lord 1991
Mary Khoury was despised
When she said the word of God is greater than Islam
She was shot and paralyzed
Now she prays to God
Father, forgive them
Till the Father calls her home
