Controversy Lyrics

He's in a city not too far away
And many go to see him
Confess! confess, my people cry
But they do not see
the still frame in my mind

And I know, I know He loves me still
And I know, I know He loves me still
but I can see the controversy
and I can see the controversy

and I can see the controversy!
and I can see it in this
and I can see the controversy!
and I can see it in this

And I will decrease so You can increase

Yeah, let's get this started
I've got a message inside me
And I cannot withhold it
I plead and cry, these people die
And they still do not see
the spear in His side

I would wish that you could see me
in this controversy

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

"And I know, I know He loves me still but I can see the controversy" This makes me think of when Jesus was on earth and He used to walk around and socialize with society's undesirables. He still loved them, despite their sins, and to some this was seen as controversial. Especially the really elitest "finger-pointing" followers that thought they deserved to have Christ's love. But the whole point is that we have His love out of grace, not due to our own good deeds.

"And I will decrease so You can increase" My absolute favorite line. I need to practice this more in my life.
