[Verse]
    Dm                           C              Dm
The seers and the prophets had foretold it long ago
         C                                Dm
That the long awaited one would make men stumble
    Dm                              C              Dm
But they were looking for a king to conquer and to kill
            C                                Dm
Who'd have ever thought He'd be so meek and humble

[Chorus]
Dm                              C                 Dm
He will be the truth that will offend them one and all
  Gm
A stone that makes men stumble
      Am                  A7
And a rock that makes men fall
Dm                          C                Dm
Many will be broken so that He can make them whole
    Gm                                  Am  Dm
And many will be crushed and lose their own soul

[Verse]
Dm                                  C             Dm
Along the path of life there lies a stubborn Scandalon 
    C                              Dm
And all who come this way must be offended 
   Dm                       C              Dm
To some He is a barrier, To others He's the way 
    C                                Dm
For all should know the scandal of believing
 
[Chorus] 
   Dm                         C                Dm
It seems today the Scandalon offends no one at all 
    C                               Dm
The image we present can be stepped over  
Dm                               C           Dm
Could it be that we are like the others long ago 
        C                                  Dm
Will we ever learn that all who come must stumble
