Michael Card – Scandalon lyrics
Michael Card
The seers and the prophets had foretold it long ago
That the long awaited one would make men stumble
But they were looking for a king to conquer and to kill
Who'd have ever thought He'd be so weak and humble
Chorus
He will be the truth that will offend them one and all
A stone that makes men stumble
And a rock that makes them fall
Many will be broken so that He can make them whole
And many will be crushed and lose their own soul
Along the path of life there lies a stubborn Scandalon
And all who come this way must be offended
To some He is a barrier, To others He's the way
For all should know the scandal of believing
Chorus
It seems today the Scandalon offends no one at all
The image we present can be stepped over
Could it be that we are like the others long ago
Will we ever learn that all who come must stumble

Repeat Chorus

    According to 1 Corinthians 1:23, "but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block..." The Greek word for "stumbling block"is skandalon, which is where the title of the song comes from. The Greek word for crucified is stauroo, which means to extinguish (subdue) passion or selfishness as well as to impale on a Christ. Jesus is a stumbling block (skandalon) to all who resists the self-denial that we are all called to.
