The Strength Lyrics - Crucified

in these remaining days, let us not be tangled in 

mankind's celebration of itself 

rather, let us live as children of God 

for what fellowship hath light and darkness 

good with evil? 

shall grace be as pearls to swine 

or held higher than gold? 

let them know the difference 

keep your signs - hold your banners yourself 

send no "latest cause" this way 

need no factions, political distractions 

keep them out of my face 

spare the fashion codes and social pars 

and the vanity of it all 

to subscribe would be to sell-out 

and to set up for a fall 

can't you see the road you travel down 

leads swiftly to your end 

sold as slaves for a place to hide 

a temporary defense 

then he'll come, all will be lost 

you'll be swept with the tide, your shelter of clay 

he's calling, protection is here 

your grip will not hold when your world's laid to waste 

Lord, grant me the strength, to follow your path 

to not go astray i, alone in myself 

I'm feeling the pull, Lord, grant me the strength 

once again breathing down my neck 

the smell of the generous leach 

the liberating hypocrite 

come to save, to teach, to preach 

to save me from my slavery 

from a God who doesn't know what's best 

look - keep your rebellion to yourself 

you don't know me, my God, or the life I live 

not a patriot, revolutionist 

not a left or right wing voice 

don't need a liberal or conservative 

to tell me about freedom of choice 

my freedom comes from God above 

forgiveness beyond comprehension 

stregth not found in earthly powers 

the only true deliverance
