Outnumbered - ApologetiX

Traveling in a dried-out country

On a police detail with Caesar’s army

I met a strange Judean -- he made a disturbance

And I took my men 'cause the natives were restless

And I said

Do your job 'cause the man’s outnumbered

We’d better go and get up there

Can’t you see that they’ll tear him asunder

You better run — you better take others.

I rescued the man — it was Paul

He goes, Please good sir, we truly must talk

I said, Do you speak the right language?

He just smiled, he came from a Benjamite family

But he said

I come from a land far from here

With Greek and Romanesque culture

Can you please let them hear me once, sir?

I said, All right, and let him face the mob a while

Lysius — that is my name

And that Paul he had much to say

He said Christianity I’m defending

Although I once was its grandest enemy

But Jesus

Spoke to me with a voice like thunder

And He did show me I’d blundered

Can you help, can you help but wonder

Why did I run from everything I was

(Yes, people) Listenin' to him I wondered

If really Paul was outnumbered

'Cause if he’s right and Jesus is up there

He’s better off -- I’d rather take those odds

If you want the chapter number

Where we met Paul and went from there

In the Book of the Acts -- it’s somewhere

In 21 through 28 uh huh

(People) Listenin' to him I wondered

If really Paul was outnumbered

'Cause if he’s right and Jesus is up there

He’s better off — I’d rather take those odds

Listenin' to him I wondered

If really Paul was outnumbered
