Every now and then I have a moment of authentication
Reveals the man inside me like illumination
Trial by fire purification
The day I dies is the day that it’s done
You might not realize when it comes
And only overcome it by the grace of the Son
Just try to stand your ground take it head on
Every moment in my life comes down to this one

At a fork in the road only two ways to go
The one untraveled and the one that you know
The broad and the wrong or the light and the right
So die in the dim or fight in the light
So it comes down to this
Jesus Christ was betrayed by a kiss
Judas when he faced his moment he failed
Imprisoned in hell with a bail of three nails

This is what it comes to

It’s me against my desires and inclinations
Pass through the fire into salvation
Bring water to the thirsty like irrigation
When you go toe to toe you don’t go one on one
But Christ in my place in substitution
Showed me His grace propitiation
Heard the devil laugh and he thought he had won
But then came the comeback and resurrection

Listen everybody may I have your attention
Only the wise will accept instruction
Fools laugh at knowledge and reject wisdom
Inevitably leading to destruction
Now it’s on you it’s your decision
The forecast of the future is confrontation
The beast or the king like revelation
A battle for your soul like Armageddon
