By Faith - Earth Groans

There is nothing more dangerous

Than arriving at hopeless

My bed was made of it

There is nothing more frightening

Than a life without meaning

My bed was made of it

I got sick of lying in it

Listen, this is what was and will never be again

This is the lowest that ill let myself sink

From out of this pit I will ascend

I put hopeless to rest the first day I believed

I felt the ground shake

When i was peeled off the floor

The walls i’ve built have crumbled down

Seasons exchanged

The ground released its grip

Dormancy welcomed springs fair kiss

Frost retreat to its grave

Ovations from tree tops proclaimed

Streams from distance applaud

Colors restore to landscapes

Growing into new skin

Shedding the weight of old demons

By faith I’ll be greater

Blacken the skies, blind my eyes

The flame inside won’t be altered

Firm in purpose, resolution

The lions mouths will be musseled

Blacken the skies, blind my eyes

By faith I’ll persevere

By faith we persevere

The reaper is scheming

Death so foolishly dug a hole

But I am no lifeless cadaver

No, I am no corpse

I am but a seed ready for planting

Near is the season of my ripening

I’m eternal

By faith we’re eternal
