I ride tides that shine golden in my mind The waters of wisdom ebb & flow by design Of the Divine, in time turn water into wine Or lead unto gold for the alchemically inclined I'm dead to the world but to God I Am Alive So through strife & turmoil I Will Survive Though I tremble with fear, I must confide I more resemble Cheer, with it I trust in kind To defy the vain wrath that tries to divide Love from my heart & Knowledge from my mind So I sow my seeds reciting Scripture I read Hoping their fruits result in some souls freed It's not that this heart of stone won't bleed For Christ's atonement's the only Blood I need For by it alone are we saved, not by any deed Work diligently by faith, in Heaven your place is received
