Verse 1

You are the empire
The promised land beneath my feet
The contrast that offends
My firm theology
We tried to fit Your ways
In the boxes humans made
So either You're a heretic
Or You're the Son of God

Verse 2

You are the relapse
Of quiet streams and greener paths
The footnotes of ancient words
Our language lacks
We could scribble out the notes
In the books that your friends wrote
Cause either everyone's a heretic
Or they've heard the voice of God

Chorus

Oh offend my mind so that
I can know You more
And break my heart
So it looks more like Yours
Offend my mind so that
I can know You more
Offend my mind
Offend my mind

Verse 3

You are the contrast
A tender word and a stomach leap
The constant
Offending Greek mythology
Capitalize the G in the name
Of He who bleeds
You really resurrect me

Verse 4

Tell me directly
Am I just a modern pharisee
Do my thoughts scream
A renewed mind or just words I speak
And if You walk into my home
And You make Your glory known
Would my tears soak Your feet
Or would I crucify You

Chorus

Oh offend my mind so that
I can know You more
And break my heart
So it looks more like Yours
Offend my mind so that
I can know You more
Offend my mind

Bridge

Ooh prophet and the priest
Crucify my disbelief
The divine reminds me
Of the hope inside me ooh
Counter of the stars
Resurrect my broken heart
The contrast soothes my mind
You're the earth that I reside in
I break the rules
You break the silence
I see the power in Your eyes
You're glorious I'm terrified
A grain of sand upon an island
The real estate inside Your eyelids
I'm a tooth inside a smile
I'm the soul You reconciled

Chorus

Oh offend my mind so that
I can know You more
And break my heart
So it looks more like Yours
Offend my mind so that
I can know You more
Offend my mind

Chorus

Oh offend my mind so that
I can know You more
And break my heart
So it looks more like Yours
Offend my mind so that
I can know You more
Offend my mind
Offend my mind
