these are times that we must fight 

to keep in tact the words and truths we've etched 

upon our hearts, our hearts that pump 

the blood thru veins, the blood sustains and the blood remains 

vital to life, and I will write out in my blood the truth I know, 

that brought me to my place in life 

and toward the light that beckons me 

to fall down on my knees and face the cross 

for Your blood cleanses me 

the chains that bind my soul released 

Your blood renews, Your blood rebirths, 

Your blood refines, Your blood restores 

wash me in Your blood 

conversion, my second chance at life.
