Verse 1
When the earth turns iron and the clay turns black,
When the proud build towers and they won’t look back,
When the screens breathe lies and the idols glow,
There’s a Sword in the dust every sheep can know.
Pre‑Chorus
Not by numbers, not by fame,
Not by money, not by name,
Only by the living Word
Can a heart resist the herd.
Chorus
Hold to the Word when the beast man smiles,
When your own right hand wants sin for a while,
When the whole wide world says, “Bow, obey,”
Stand on the Rock, let the flesh decay.
Eyes on the Lamb, not the dragon’s flame,
Keep His commandments, call on His Name.
In the last temptation, when all else fails,
Faith in His promise is the wind in your sails.
Verse 2
When your neighbor laughs at the narrow gate,
When your body burns and your thoughts feel late,
When the night says, “Do it, nobody sees,”
There’s a cross in your blood and a King on His knees.
Pre‑Chorus
Not by feelings, not by sight,
Not by “do what feels all right,”
Only by the scars He wore
Can you shut that serpent’s door.
Chorus
Hold to the Word when the beast man smiles,
When your own right hand wants sin for a while,
When the whole wide world says, “Bow, obey,”
Stand on the Rock, let the flesh decay.
Eyes on the Lamb, not the dragon’s flame,
Keep His commandments, call on His Name.
In the last temptation, when all else fails,
Faith in His promise is the wind in your sails.
Bridge
Write His law on your hands and feet,
Ten bright lines where the earth and heaven meet.
When the iron talks and the clay gives in,
Let His Spirit shout over every sin:
“You are not an animal, you are My dust,
Bought with blood, not with rust.”
Final Chorus
So hold to the Word when the beast man roars,
When the world loves chains and rejects His doors,
When the last empire shakes and falls apart,
Hide every verse like fire in your heart.
Eyes on the Lamb when the stars go dim,
The end of the earth is the dawn with Him.
In the last temptation, when all else fails,
The Word made flesh is the One who prevails.
