Petra - Strong Convictions lyrics

Strong Convictions Words and music by Bob Hartman Based on Romans 12:2 Western world where the strong survive And the meek will inherit the dregs Living now in the twilight time Will the world hear the answer it begs Secular and sacred blur Without even raising a flag When so many masters call Is it the tail or the dog that will wag? With some among us weak at the knees And many others who do as they please There still remains a witness The few who will stand and say (Chorus) I've got strong convictions 'bout the way that I live I've got no concessions that I'm willing ot give Strong convictions that are worth living by Strong convictions 'till the day I die It's so hard seeing black and white When so much appears to be gray WIth no faith in the absolute It's no wonder the standard will stray With bold convictions leading the way With those who have them willing to say There is a new horizon I can say as for me and mine Pressure makes the perfect diamond Measure of the saints refining Don't ever want to stray I really want to stay Steadfast and immovable in Him
