The shadows came in the time of dark
But I will persevere and I will not lose heart
I will set my face and embrace the invisible
Cling to my cross and bare my crucible
You have all my pain and you have my guilt
My soul is redeemed by the blood that you split
Now I walk upright despite the cards thats been dealt
I embrace a freedom that my body's never felt
My heart is gripped by your gaze
No other lover will come unto me
After looking back at everything we've been through, I'd never go back
But I won't regret it and I'll never forget I did this for you
My eyes are set and my soul is free
My heart is gripped and I've been redeemed
I have your mercy, I have your grace
I have the will to finish this race
I remain purified by your blood
I choose to war because of your love
I stand by your love
It's only by your love
