Looking down the paths of life
Peace precarious 'mid the strife
Joys aflowing 'neath the pain
Hell is raging. Heaven reigns
In my heart.
The war is on.
Enticing dreams appear.
But dishonour marks their fulfillment
"Disgrace God's name" the price of attainment.
Though approved from human view
I recall my commitment to You.
Death before dishonour.
Death before disgrace
No delay if my heart won't turn,
(just) let me see your face.
Lord I want Your honour
Lord I need Your grace
All my life is at Your command
Do as You please, and I'll do as You say
I want to finish so faithful this race.
