[Intro]
Dm  C  Dm
[Verse 1]
The Dmseers and the prophets had foreCtold it long aDmgo
That the Clong awaited one would make men Dmstumble
But Dmthey were looking for a king to Cconquer and to kDmill
Who'd have Cever thought He'd be so meek and Dmhumble
[Chorus]
DmHe will be the truth that will ofCfend them one and Dmall
A Gmstone that makes men stumble
And a Amrock that makes men A7fall
DmMany will be broken so that CHe can make them Dmwhole
And Gmmany will be crushed and lose their Amown Dmsoul
[Verse 2]
ADmlong the path of life there lies a Cstubborn ScandaDmlon
And Call who come this way must be ofDmfended
To Dmsome He is a barrier, to Cothers He's the wDmay
For Call should know the scandal of beDmlieving
[Chorus]
DmHe will be the truth that will ofCfend them one and Dmall
A Gmstone that makes men stumble
And a Amrock that makes men A7fall
DmMany will be broken so that CHe can make them Dmwhole
And Gmmany will be crushed and lose their Amown Dmsoul
[Verse 3] 
It Dmseems today the Scandalon ofCfends no one at Dmall
The Cimage we present can be stepped Dmover
DmCould it be that we are like the Cothers long aDmgo
Will we Cever learn that all who come must Dmstumble
[Chorus]
DmHe will be the truth that will ofCfend them one and Dmall
A Gmstone that makes men stumble
And a Amrock that makes men A7fall
DmMany will be broken so that CHe can make them Dmwhole
And Gmmany will be crushed and lose their Amown Dmsoul

[Verse 1]

Dm C Dm

The seers and the prophets had foretold it long ago

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

A stone that makes men stumble

Am A7

And a rock that makes men fall

Along the path of life there lies a stubborn Scandalon

For all should know the scandal of believing

[Chorus]

Dm C Dm

He will be the truth that will offend them one and all

A stone that makes men stumble

He will be the truth that will offend them one and all

A stone that makes men stumble
