"Hated" lyrics

"Hated"

I'm walkin in a land
Where keepin your commands
Gets backs turned on me
I'm juggling wills it's my flesh
I wanna kill but then the world won't want me
Like a prodigal son You let me run
Cause somehow you knew
At the end of the day the applause would fade
And I'd run back to the Truth

Being loved by the world
Is overrated
Think I'd rather
Be hated
For loving You

You say in this meantime
I should set my mind on things above
Where my forever is
Where my treasure is
Where I measure up
So I'm trading in this chasin the wind
Just to walk with You
So let em throw their stones
I won't be alone
No this won't be nothing new

Cause being loved by the world
Is overrated
I think I'd rather
Be hated
For loving You

Who loved me first
Like nothing here on earth

Being loved
By the world
Is overrated

Is overrated

I think I'd rather
Be hated
For loving You

Oh
Yeah
Lord I don't mind
Being hated
For loving You

Loving You
