Once again, i must say that Mr Kearney is an absolutley brilliant contribution to the christian music scene. This song about the persecution of christians because of their faith. It draws on the biblical accounts of stoning christians "throw a stone disown me"..it's saying how through it all...the 'rain' the 'laughter and the tears', 'pain' and 'fears'...after it all ('the morning sun')the christian spirit never dies ('u'll see i didn't run') and how we will stand steadfast ('I'll stay, I'll wait right here').
The chorus is the pivotal message in the song....beautiflly succinct.."Call me anything but lonely" basically..."u can say wat u want bout what i beleive...but my lord is with me always'"
The second last verse, the one that talks about defeats, is another brilliant peice of Kearney imagery... scars are synonymous with the christian faith...the doubting disciples and the proof of Jesus' resurection and so forth. He's saying that although it's obvious he is subject to persecution...he uses it to reinforce the fact that through it all he will stand tall and stay true to his beliefs.
Remember: he never said it will be easy...he only said it would be worth it...
