[Intro]
[low vocal register]
Hands wrapped tight
Heart drum, fight
Breath on fire
God, lift me higher
[Verse 1]
War in my mind
Steel in my spine
I strap my faith on
Spirit in the grind
Fists to the sky
Sweat in my eyes
I call on my Father
And my weakness dies
“Blessed be the Lord
My rock, my trainer”
He teaches my hands
For war, I’m braver
My fingers for battle
I’m built for the clash
When the bell keeps ringing
I rise from the crash
[Chorus]
GOD I GOT YOUR BLOOD IN MY VEINS
(yeah!)
CAN’T BREAK WHAT YOU ALREADY MADE
(uh!)
WHEN I FALL, I ROAR YOUR NAME
FATHER, FATHER
I DON’T RUN, I RUN TO THE FLAMES
(come on!)
TRAIN MY HANDS, YOU HARDEN MY FRAME
I’M A SHOUT, NOT A SHADOW OF PAIN
FATHER, FATHER
[Verse 2]
You’re my fortress
You’re my shield
You size the giants
Then you make ‘em kneel
You’re my stronghold
My steady ground
When my heart starts racing
You slow it down
I’m not just muscle
I’m breath you gave
Not just power
I’m a soldier of grace
“Rescue me, Lord”
When I’m out on the ropes
You pull me back in
You refill my hope
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[call-and-response gang vocals]
Who’s my rock?
(GOD MY ROCK!)
Who’s my strength?
(GOD MY STRENGTH!)
Who trains my hands?
(GOD MY TRAINER!)
Who owns my breath?
(GOD MY BREATH!)
I’m carved by the struggle
But held by Your hand
If I’m still standing
It’s Your battle plan
Heartbeat hammer
Bone, fire, flame
Your word in my chest
I will not be tamed
[Chorus]
