(Verse 1) In the quiet of the morning, by the Sun’s soft golden light I see the gold upon my hand, a promise made in sight Of the God who knit our souls as one, the One who holds the keys To a house built upon a rock, and not on shifting seas. The world will whisper "freedom," and the shadows offer "more" But there’s a thief who only comes to kill and steal and pour Cold water on the altar where the holy fire burns While the heart that seeks a stranger is a heart that never learns. (Pre-Chorus) For the evil one will entice you from where you shouldn’t go So, keep your eyes upon the path that leads you to your soul And you will find the strength and freedom that only God can show (Chorus) For the covenant is sacred, and the vows are not for sale A man of God stands steady when the winds of passion wail I won't trade a lifetime’s treasure for a moment in the gray I will walk the path of honor; I will choose the narrow way. Because the Father showed me mercy, and He’s faithful to His own I’ll be the shadow of His grace within the walls of home. (Verse 2) Betrayal isn't just a deed, it starts within the mind In the secrets and the silences, in the things we leave behind But I remember Calvary, and the price that bought my soul How can I break a heart that God has labored to make whole? My wife, she is the garden that the Lord has let me keep I will sow the seeds of Integrity while the rest of the world sleeps I won't let the serpent enter with a lie wrapped in a smile I’ll guard the gates of purity and walk the extra mile. (Bridge) Strength is not in taking what you want or what you see Strength is in the "No" you say to set your spirit free To look my children in the eye and know my word is true To offer back to Jesus Christ a love that's born anew. (Pre-Chorus) For the evil one will entice you from where you shouldn’t go So, keep your eyes upon the path that leads you to your soul And you will find the strength and freedom that only God can show (Chorus) For the covenant is sacred, and the vows are not for sale A man of God stands steady when the winds of passion wail I won't trade a lifetime’s treasure for a moment in the gray I will walk the path of honor; I will choose the narrow way. Because the Father showed me mercy, and He’s faithful to His own I’ll be the shadow of His grace within the walls of home. (Outro) So let the rain come falling, let the tempter try his best My house is built on Jesus, and in Him, my heart will rest. Yeah, in Him, my heart will rest. Faithful to the end. Amen.
