Chorus:
Hold on, He's strong
Hold on, cause our God is a warrior
Hold on, He's strong
Hold on, cause our God is a beast!
Hold on, He's strong
Hold on, just look at your neighbor say
Hold on, He's strong
Hold on, cause our God is a beast!
This walk, it ain't easy
Matter of fact it gets hard
You've enlisted for war
The battleground is your heart
It's going to be some stress and strain
And discomfort involved
But my advice to you homie is to make your resolve
To fight for your joy
In God's keeping grace
So at the end you can say like Paul that I've kept the faith
You see the way is hard
Cause narrow is the gate
And those who find it are few
I'm praying you complete the race
But yet His yoke is easy
And His burdens are light
But that's the fight for us to rest and find in Him delight
You see our self-reliance and self-exaltation
Is still pacing in our souls as we battle with Satan
You see it's unbelief that springs from our sinful pride
That straight denies that what God supplies can really satisfy
But God is working for us
Even though we hate the struggle
In decisions, make the ones that strengthen your faith muscle
Chorus
I been crucified with Christ
So it's no longer I who live
But it's Christ who is living inside your boy
Now my whole life's defined by dying
To the praise of my God as I fight for joy
It's getting bloody as I pluck out eyes
Matthew 5:29, flatout war (on the flesh)
To set my mind on the flesh is death
Gotta keep my mind set on the Spirit of course
Plus Satan came to kill and destroy (and steal)
Steal sheep from being the children of God
Let my relationship run real deep (oh Lord)
How deep?
All the way to the core
We're in this process of making progress
Sanctification is taking place in our mindset
Cause we were united with Christ when He resurrected
Now we can reflect on the power of God
Chorus
You see this new life
It comes with new rules
You're a newborn baby
You're fresh out of the womb
The Holy Spirit of God has given you new birth
Now your Father's the Trinity, you're apart of the church
And all the church is, is the body of Christ
Jesus is the head of this organism giving it life
You see it's one body
But yet it's many members
Nothing but plenty sinners
Given His grace then He cleanse us
Man we need each other
The hand can't say to the feet
That I don't need you
If I despise my eyes then I can't see
So if one member suffers we suffer across the globe
So if my nose is broken then we'll dysfunctionally grow
So we must kill all individual talk
We're all necessary, visible, invisible parts
So being in isolation only leads to more sin
Don't hurt the covenant like the cutting of foreskin
Chorus
Don't you ever give up!
