"Hill To Die On" lyrics

"Hill To Die On"

I've drawn my lines
Refused compromise
I've put up defenses
Protecting my pride
Wake up to find
I'm on my own island

I like being right, so I put up a fight
I cast all my brothers and sisters aside
I'm just done with my selfish ambitions
And wanting what I want

Cause that's not the hill that you died on
The mercy that I build my life on
You paid it all just to give me peace
You weren't afraid to turn the other cheek
So, I just want it said of me
That I forgave and let it be
Cause the only hill for me is Calvary
The only hill to die on
The only hill to die on

If I only love
The people like me
And listen to voices
That always agree
Guess I'll always be
On my own island

Cause we like being right, so we put up a fight
We cast all our brothers and sisters aside
If we're looking for battles
You know we can find some

Cause that's not the hill that you died on
The mercy that I build my life on
You paid it all just to give me peace
You weren't afraid to turn the other cheek
So, I just want it said of me
That I forgave and let it be
Cause the only hill for me is Calvary
The only hill to die on
The only hill to die on

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Oh not the hill that you died on
The mercy that I build my life on
You paid it all just to give me peace
You weren't afraid to turn the other cheek
So, I just want it said of me
That I forgave and let it be
Cause the only hill for me is Calvary
The only hill to die on
The only hill to die on
