Lyrics

After fourteen years
I went to Jerusalem
Again,
This time with Barnabas
I also took Titus with me

I went because God showed me
That I should go
I met with believers there,
And in private I told
Their leaders the Good News
That I preach to the non-Jews

I did not want my past work
And the work I am doing now
To be wasted.

Titus was with me,
But was not forced to be
Circumcised,
Even though he was a Greek.
We talked about this problem

Because some false believers
Had come to our group
Secretly
They came in like spies
To overturn freedom
That we have in Christ Jesus

They wanted to make us slaves
But we did not give in to
Those false believers
For a minute
We wanted the truth of the Good News
To continue for you.

Instrumental

They wanted to make us slaves
But we did not give in to
Those false believers
For a minute
We wanted the truth of the Good News
To continue for you.
