They've got sticks and they've got stones
Casting judgement from their thrones
But they won't break me
They won't bring me down
Cause I've got grace and I've got peace
And they can't shake what I believe
No they won't break me
They won't break me
Cause when it hurts I know that He was hurt for me
And when they hate His perfect love is all I need
Gonna turn the other cheek
I'm giving up my coat
Not a sign that I am weak
But a strength you may not know
I've gotta take my place
In the example that He's shown
And be a mirror of His grace
So I'm gonna let it go
Love can burn and love can sting
But love can conquer anything
So they won't break me
They won't bring me down
Cause I've been given victory
And they can't take this joy from me
No they won't break me
They won't break me
Cause when it hurts I know that He was hurt for me
And when they hate His perfect love is all I need
Gonna turn the other cheek
I'm giving up my coat
Not a sign that I am weak
But a strength you may not know
I've gotta take my place
In the example that He's shown
And be a mirror of His grace
So I'm gonna let it go
Gonna turn the other cheek
I'm giving up my coat
Not a sign that I am weak
But a strength you may not know
I've gotta take my place
In the example that He's shown
And be a mirror of His grace
So I'm gonna let it go
This world loves its misery
But I won't be its company
No they won't break me
They won't bring me down
