Firm In The Fire (version 2)

​(Verse 1) I used to wander down a road paved in compromise, Blind to the truth while the world fed me hollow lies. Chasing after shadows, bound tight by the addiction's chain, Trading away purpose just to numb a phantom pain. But the wake-up call echoed deep down in my chest, No more running, no more hiding, no more cheap rest. I had to drop the heavy weight, break the old mold, And trade the worthless silver for the genuine gold. I picked up the Word, let it pierce through the doubt, Found out what living for the Creator is about. Now I'm walking out the Torah, keeping Shabbat set apart, Writing His commandments on the tablets of my heart. Not of this world, yeah, I'm swimming 'gainst the tide, With the Heavenly Father as my shield and my guide. ​(Chorus) Step up, stand tall, let the whole world see, I'm breaking every shackle that was holding onto me! Following the path where the narrow way leads, Proving my devotion through my spirit and my deeds! A man of Yah, standing firm in the fire, Raising up the standard ever higher and higher! ​(Verse 2) In this house, we don't bow to the culture or the trend, I'm leading my wife where the faithful will ascend. Loving her like Scripture says, protecting what is pure, Building up a legacy that's lasting and secure. Got a fire in my bones, and I ain't backing down, Trading all the glory of an earth-made crown. And I'm looking at my boys, teaching them to stand bold, Showing them the character that never gets old. How to be a man who protects and provides, Walking in integrity where truth abides. And for my daughter watching, I'm setting up the mark, So she knows the kind of man who carries His spark— A man who loves Yah first, humble and strong, So she’ll know the right path when the world tries the wrong. ​(Bridge) Let the neighbors talk, let the culture mock and sneer, When you walk with Eloheem, there is nothing left to fear! No apologies, no retreat, no looking back, We're staying firmly planted on the covenant track! ​(Chorus) Step up, stand tall, let the whole world see, I'm breaking every shackle that was holding onto me! Following the path where the narrow way leads, Proving my devotion through my spirit and my deeds! A man of Yah, standing firm in the fire, Raising up the standard ever higher and higher! ​(Outro) Set apart For His glory alone. The head of this home, walking in His light.
