Understating the Obvious

With a heart full of dread, I take one step forward.
I resist the chance to step back into line.
That's not what God has in store for me.
To fall back is the fail.

To fall back is to die in shame.
I'm going to die to shame, not from shame.
My heart is bruised, and my faith is shaken.
But my motivation is stirred.

My Lord is rising up.
The Lion is among us.
The enemy's been defeated.
The love can't be contained.

There are no retreating options left.
This is the final push.
Don't relent, we won't stop until He comes.
This is our cry.

Brothers in arms, sisters in love.
Sisters in arms, brothers in love.
Today we stand against the dark.
Today we stare into the dark.

Today we shine our Light into the dark.
Today we illiminate the duskwoods.
Today we band ourselves together.
Today we are branded worthy beyond our own words.

As your elite.
Your missionaries.
Your beloved.

We are God's beloved.

Release your wine..... :)
