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 

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
