Lyrics

Arduous path; a narrow road of hope amidst an immense world of fear, sorrow, and death
Human instinct to earn a right of passage, to gain through the toil of hands
Foreign concept of grace, hesitance to rest in a debt paid in full, the ultimate sacrifice

Relinquish the desire to control; the shackles have been broken, no longer bound by self-restraint
Rest with confidence in the eternal assurance

Nonetheless, fear strikes with violent force
The unrelenting allure of the pleasures of flesh, infringes on the fortitude of righteousness
Questions, reinforced by the voice of close-minded persecution
Feed the tendency of second-guessing, breeding doubt and confusion

Temporal perspective yields finite understanding;
Dwelling on earthly wisdom, shadowed by perceptions of truth
Reliance on personal strength weakens the foundation of the power of faith

A holy fire now resides inside, unfathomed potential, power of the divine
Eternal strength will prevail through life's trials and travails
Joy is found through struggle, negating despair
Power and majesty and sovereign truth rise above the ashes of this crumbling world
