Who talks to a man that they can't see?
Who finds power in an old book they read?
In a world full of doubt, who still believes?
Who talks to a man that they can't see?
Call me crazy, call me a fool
I ain't scared cuz I know the truth
Ain't gonna run, ain't gonna hide
Ain't gonna change my mind
When the crowd goes one way, I go the other
When the battle rages I won't back down
The gates of hell are gonna shake and tremble
In the name of Jesus gonna stand my ground
If a rebel's what it takes
A rebel's what I'll be
Cause the one I follow
Was a rebel like me
Rebel rebel
Rebel rebel
Got a long line of rebels in the family tree
The ones who weren't afraid to make history
David to Goliath, Daniel to the lion
Moses pushing back the sea
Got a long line of rebels in the family tree
When the crowd goes one way, I go the other
When the battle rages I won't back down
The gates of hell are gonna shake and tremble
In the name of Jesus gonna stand my ground
If a rebel's what it takes
A rebel's what I'll be
Cause the one I follow
Was a rebel like me
Rebel rebel
A rebel like me
Rebel rebel
A rebel like me
Who takes His own cross up a hill
Who loves a sinner nobody else will
Who changed the world when His blood was spilled
Who takes His own cross up a hill
They called Him crazy, called Him a fool
But He's the way, the life, the truth
Ain't gonna run, ain't gonna hide
Ain't gonna change my mind
When the crowd goes one way, I go the other
When the battle rages I won't back down
The gates of hell are gonna shake and tremble
In the name of Jesus gonna stand my ground
If a rebel's what it takes
A rebel's what I'll be
Cause the one I follow
Was a rebel like me
Rebel rebel
A rebel like me
Rebel rebel
Cause the one I follow
Was a rebel like me
