The Crucified - The Strength Lyrics
In these remaining days, let us not be tangled inMankind's celebration of itselfRather, let us live as children of GodFor what fellowship hath light and darknessGood with evil?Shall grace be as pearls to swineOr held higher than gold?Let them know the differenceKeep your signs - hold your banners yourselfSend no "latest cause" this wayNeed no factions, political distractionsKeep them out of my faceSpare the fashion codes and social parsAnd the vanity of it allTo subscribe would be to sell-outAnd to set up for a fallCan't you see the road you travel downLeads swiftly to your endSold as slaves for a place to hideA temporary defenseThen he'll come, all will be lostYou'll be swept with the tide, your shelter of clayHe's calling, protection is hereYour grip will not hold when your world's laid to wasteLord, grant me the strength, to follow your pathTo not go astray i, alone in myselfI'm feeling the pull, Lord, grant me the strengthOnce again breathing down my neckThe smell of the generous leachThe liberating hypocriteCome to save, to teach, to preachTo save me from my slaveryFrom a God who doesn't know what's bestLook - keep your rebellion to yourselfYou don't know me, my God, or the life I liveNot a patriot, not a revolutionistNot a left or right wing voiceDon't need a liberal or conservativeTo tell me about freedom of choiceMy freedom comes from God aboveForgiveness beyond comprehensionStrength not found in earthly powersThe only true deliverance
