You said you would chose me Above all else You swore to protect me With every breath
But I am beneath And you do not breath
So we are left With a house Divided against itself And a city Torn apart from the inside
The gates are broken down And trust has left all of our hearts
But the Lord he is faithful To renew all spirits And so I place my confidence In him alone
For he has never failed Anyone before He has never left Any of his children Alone. On the battlefield
So I call Upon his name And he answers; My daughter, I have walked this road My child, I am beside you still I am your strength In this dark hour I give you rest Drink if my living water
To confide in the King And stand in his presence Humbled by his grace And blessed by his hand And he speaks to me; Oh child, I did not spill The blood of my son in vain It was for you It has payed the way
So now I claim All victory in Christ Because what sweat of the brow Or toil and trouble Or earthy treasures Of foolish hope Or love of flesh
Can ever contend with Or ever fulfill
The promises of God.
Pinned to the cross Nailed to Gates of hell For death is fleeting And sin all done in vain For a mortal man Who's home is heaven
Oh saint, take your place At the foot of the throne For peace is found In heaven your home
