Lyrics
The Essence Of Conviction
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Her gentle hand in his
Revelation serves as bliss
They walk away from sunshine
Led to believe the lie
His lust for untouched youth
A well kept secret sealed
His every night confession
Reveals the most profane obsession
Their trust is won and fate is conquered
The essence of conviction
Why me?
I did no wrong
I did not know
You lied to me
I meant no harm
And I am blaming me
Hand in hand down the altar aisle
Her father's presence brings her to a smile
A grand welcome from the assembled crowd
Greeted as the "circles" first child
Undressed to nothing and held to the sky
Her smile is gone and she starts to cry
Desperately seeking her father's eyes
But he sees nothing
He's blind.
A little baby is born
Hallelujah!
This little baby is going to be the Messiah
He's going to take away the power of sin
God plants a cross right on the doorstep to the throne of Satan
No longer can he hold you in guilt, condemnation, and fear
He has no power to do that anymore
And if you're under condemnation and fear,
Then go to the God, confess and say,
"Devil, you can't condemn me anymore,
I'm not a condemned man, I'm a free man"
We have to kill the baby!
Why me?
I did no wrong
I did not know
You lied to me
I meant no harm
And I am blaming me
