Lyrics

When the enemy's near,

Remind me You're here.

When the pressure brings fear

Let my purpose be clear.

I was pressed for the oil, crushed for the wine,

Buried like a seed, but I'm still gon' rise,

Living Water flowed, rose these ashes to life,

No pit too dark that can hide from His Light,

The grave lost grip when the Stone rolled aside,

Cause I know who beat death, and His name is the Christ.

God won't send you to battle if youre not equipped , or inadequate

He only sends his biggest waves to his strongest ships

Trust and obey when the tides seem to flip

Tools in the bag but theyre useless if they sit

Satan don't chase what already ran back,

He only throws stones when your soul starts to stand back,

What looked like a setback was God saying, "Send that,"

The lows and the blows, he uses those for the comeback

Jesus was crucified, died, then was sent back

Death already tried, christ rose to end that

When I buried myself he rolled the stone back

My light and salvation made my shadow crack

I was pressed for the oil, crushed for the wine,

Buried like a seed, but I'm still gon' rise,

Living Water flowed, rose these ashes to life,

No pit too dark that can hide from His Light,

The grave lost grip when the Stone rolled aside,

Cause I know who beat death, and His name is the Christ.

Holy ain't given like a title you claim,

It's a way that you live when you carry His name,

Don't play with the fire then complain at the flame,

Backslide too long, you'll get numb to the chains.

Your Spirit purifies, nothing else will suffice,

World full of counterfeits, lots of dressed up lies

Flesh want a throne, but it comes with a price,

Dont trade eternal life for a momentary high

Things getting strange, yeah, the times done changed,

World left God now the foundations stained,

People brought up to cling to their ways,

Then call love hate when it challenges pain

Things getting strange, yeah, the times done changed,

World left God, now the foundation stained,

Raised in their ways, so they cling to chains,

Then call truth hate when it challenges pain.

Say they got truth, but it bends when they choose,

"Let me do me, and you can do you,"

Everything's fine if I'm good in my view,

But who calls it good? Whose law do we use?

If there is no God, then what standard is true?

If we're all judges who base on our views,

Then who makes the verdict on what is true?

Even the ones who deny Him borrow His rules,

(Bible still the blueprint for peace they refuse)

Bread had to break before the crowd got fed,

Oil came alive when the olive got pressed,

Grapes got crushed before the wine turned red,

I trust in his hands, when hes breaking this bread

When I was lost and alone, You used what was thrown,

Took the crumbs from my famine, made a feast

For my soul

I was low in the valley, but You carved out a well,

Living Water started speaking where my dry places dwelled,

Pressure wrote a testimony pain could never outsell,

Now the scars preach louder than the story I tell.

So I won't waste the wound if the wound brought me sight,

Won't curse the dark if it taught me the Light,

I was pressed for the oil, crushed for the wine,

Buried like a seed, but I'm still gon' rise,

Living Water flowed, rose these ashes to life,

No pit too dark that can hide from His Light,

Pressure had purpose when the Stone rolled aside,

Cause I know who beat death, and His name is the Christ.

If the pressure made diamonds

Then the pain is refinement

Keep my heart focused

on the one who designed it
