Lyrics:

Strong walk, head up high
Feet on rock, eyes on the cross
Young warrior, full or pride
Ready to serve and heavenbound
But wait, what's this?
A temptation, forbidden fruit
It looks so nice, smells so sweet
Surely a taste can do no harm
A period of sin poisoning us from within
While deliverance lingers just one small sigh away
A sigh faintly echoing in the depths of our hearts
Striving to break the bonds of shame and desire
Then the snake tells his lies:
"You're a failure, a filthy rat. How could you - God's own child - do something as horrible as that?"
Shut your ears - read The Book
"Ask, and it shall be given to you"
You are God's precious jewel
Why wouldn't He forgive you?
A period of sin...
The next time you fall down, don't stay crawling in the dirt
But accept the redemption in grave from our Lord!
